Is severe death more serious than terminal death?
Apparently that's some serious sh*t!
"Not only will it KILL you, but you'll hurt real bad the whole time you're dying."
MC
ebola therapy for the common cold?
So, what I'm getting from this, I think, is that it might kill you. Not that I'm a professional in the matter or anything.
Severe death really sucks.
That is hilarious.
You always need a lot of antibiotics to counter severe death.
"But if you can hold out till spring, they're supposed to be coming out with a new version of death that's going to be way deadlier than anything you can get today."
"But he decided to be born anyway."
"I'm telling you, if there's anything more fun than a 6-year-old who's having his tonsils out, I don't know what it is."
So the patient could die???????
Just making sure I understand what could happen. I have added an addendum to me will making sure that only artisan soil is used for burial.
The dictation says it all but is there anyone who DOESN'T face those potential problems at least once in their lives?
Doc:
On notes like that, I always look to see what time they were written, especially if electronic.
I got one consult I had to read for a doc and I nearly died laughing. When I looked at the time, it was written in the early AM, so I wondered if it counted as "sleep charting".
BTW Doc called other doc and straightened ours out, which included a redacted note.
Well you know that serious complications of death lead to severe death whereas simple serious complications merely lead to death.
Bwahahahaaaa!!! I no want the severe death please.
1041- perfect. you made my day.
Signed "Dr Killpatient"
What about a little death?
So this patient will not only be "merely dead", but they will be "most sincerely dead". That's what I'm talking about...
Wow...he really takes that whole "informed consent" thing seriously!
Ya, but the generic version of death gives you pretty much the same effect, at a fraction of the cost.
Is acute or chronic death worse?
PS - blogger refuses to allow me to post anywhere with my google account. Has anyone else had the same problem?
So was it real or Dragonism?
"Patient decided not to get the pedicure after all."
Eileen, I too have been unable to comment on Blogger for some time. Don’t understand why. had no problems up til a few weeks ago.
?~ ! ~ ?
"Actually, the procedure would have been safe and effective, but some days you're just not in the mood, you know?"
I can take death. I can handle severe death.
But this entire 'serious complications of death' that I couldn't take! Its either, long and drawn out painful mess or that neither heaven, nor hell will take you...
remind me not to be HIS patient ok?
"Patient decided to give me my co-pay after all."
Good gravy. And what might the "complications," let alone the "severe complications," of death be?
I am an over cynical nurse working just one day on intensive care! ( and full time on my allotment and field)
greatblog!
how is severe death worse than mild death? are the non-serious complications funny?
Does this doctor know Miracle Max?
"Look who knows so much! It just so happens your friend is only mostly dead."
death with serious complications = Zombie Apocalypse i.e you still have to go to work and pay taxes
Okay, obviously that's extreme. There are plenty of clueless people out there though so I can (and do) identify with the "CYA" mentality of document, document, document so when Mr. Stupid develops serious complications and/or dies, the family can't say "Dr. DamnGoodbutCynical told us this xxx (likely elective) procedure would go smoothly no matter what".
What are serious complications of death? Putrefaction? Being autopsied? Turning into adipocere? Being exhumed after turning into adipocere, and having photos of your 'soap mummy' corpses ending up on the Internet? Inquiring minds want to know...
"...but the patient decided to be rude to the Head Nurse anyway."
Yeah, but did he warn him that he could die?
The first thing I noticed is it excludes mild death, where one just BARELY dies.
"And then he went off to go storm the castle."
Did this doctor then prescribe cake?
