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.

A Classic...
I'm so sorry you had to tell a patient of yours that he has ALS. I think one of the most horrible things a doctor has to do is inform patients and their loved ones of heartbreaking news. I wonder if medical school teaches one how to respond in these difficult situations. I was just curious of how to be in these situations because I plan on being a doctor one day, and I am a really sensitive, soft-hearted person. I'm scared that I might start crying with the patient or with his/ her family.
It's this sort of stuff that catches you being completely unaware. Nice one!
Looks like maybe they broke something while they were in there.
Maybe they took out more than they planned?
LOL. I think I said something similar this week.... ha. Me brain is tyred.
Technically... your both right!
What's that old joke, something about "He was shot in the thick of the fracas..."
Grumpy:
He must be in Illinois, if he's confusing the state on the right. ;->
Those crani characters say the darnedest things.
are you sure it was the right side of the brain?
You've got to "Show Me".
Do people have brains in Missouri?
Just kidding!
ver: *mazesse*
Another right mazesse (with green neurons attached) you have gotten me into!
Sounds like they took out a wee
too much!
