More grainy, faxed pictures from a GI doc of the inside of my patient's rectum. This will really help me treat his Parkinson's disease.
A Blog detailing the insanity of my medical practice and the stupidity of everyday life.
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.

I'd send it back with a note that said. Where in this picture is the man's brain?
don't you subscribe to a wholistic approach?
so did he snare that polyp?
Maybe he had his head up his ass?
He just wanted to show you what an a-hole he sent your way...don't knock the courtesy heads up!
..if your colon ain't happy, no part is happy...
I'll fax my dental records over too if you'd like...
Can somebody explain to me why fax machines are still used in healthcare? Is it not absurd to *fax* such a picture? You can't see shit! Oh...wait...maybe that's the point.... ;-)
There is an eye in the far right photo looking back!
I am a family doc and even I don't care at all when I receive those picutres of people's colons, microscopic images of skin lesions, etc. I've never done a colonoscopy and haven't looked into a microscope except for urines and wet preps in years. Believe me, I'll trust your experience of thousands over my forced glance in medical school years ago. In exchange, please don't prescribe antibiotics for the patient for his cold. Thank you.

Gumpy,
That's amazing! I didn't know rectal pictures could help treat neurological problems! And I try to read the common science mags too.
Was there a cranio-rectal inversion somewhere?
Word verification: tubbie
Yeah, yesterday I got a fax of a cardiology consult (rather than the requested psychiatry consult), for my new intake whose first question was "Why did my primary doctor send me to YOU?" I didn't have the heart *snort* to tell her it wasn't for her a-fib.
So that's what it looks like when you shake your booty.
faxes are such a waste of time, why do we use them? i can take a 10 megapixel photo on my £100 phone and bluetooth it to my £500 laptop, then send a perfect image anywhere in the world that has the internent and a screen. surely a hospital could manage that.
