I got a letter today from a local internist. It featured this quote:
"His Alzheimer's disease is gradually worsening, but remains stable."
A Blog detailing the insanity of my medical practice and the stupidity of everyday life.
"His Alzheimer's disease is gradually worsening, but remains stable."
Welcome to my whining!
This blog is entirely for entertainment purposes. All posts about patients, or my everyday life, or anything else may be fictional, or be my experience, or were submitted by a reader, or any combination of the above. Factual statements may or may not be accurate. I could be making all this up. I may not even be a doctor. The only true statement on here is that I probably drink more Diet Coke than you do. A lot more.

Sounds much like some of my customers "I'm not in a hurry, but how long is it going to be" (twenty minutes) THAT LONG?
It's long if it's THEIR time.
If it's YOUR time that's being wasted, they don't care.
Stability defined as a slow and insidious decline. I guess by that definition, none of us are stable.
I think the less stable you are, the better you do in the medical field.
