Probably it was a newly qualified brit physician who has done one on the new abbreviated medical courses. He may know only minimal anatomy, but he will know all about managing bereavement and the square root of damn all about the management of the causes of bereavement.
Oh my my... reading this post is better than swallowing a dozen happy pills. Thank goodness I wasn't drinking anything whilst I read! I needed a giggle; What a thrill. Now...ma-nig-a-ment...wonder if the "new abbreviated medical courses" previously mentioned covers ma-nig-a-ments?? *reaches for textbook*
Dr Grumpy, reading your blog is the best medicine for my stressful days.
Constance-my daughter takes Topamax to prevent her migraines and she cannot drink anything carbonated-it makes the drinks taste terrible. Imagine-a teenager that doesn't drink soda.
How in God's name do you keep a straight face? LMAO CP
ReplyDeleteYou should have thrown in the astragalus for shits and giggles.
ReplyDeleteOn another note, what percentage of your migraineurs take Topamax? Any idiosyncrasies common among them?
Maybe 20 percent.
ReplyDeleteVaries wildly.

ReplyDeleteI want to give her props for trying to use proper anatomical names, but . . . head, meet desk!
ReplyDeleteThat reminds me of a patient my husband saw who had horrible pain in her her ma-nig-a-ment (go on... figure out where that is).

I once had a client tell me her horse had a laceration above the shoulder but below the elbow. At least it turned out to be a front leg.

I am writing a paper and was so sick of my own work I needed a Dr. Grumpy fix. As always, wonderful.
ReplyDeleteMy mom used to tell me that her bronical tubes were congested.
ReplyDeleteWord verification is pugendos...did one of your patients come up with that yet? You know, as in "my pugendos are horribly inflamed!"
My son fell out of a bunk bed when he was little and broke his clavicle - it gave him a real bedache
