Weekend reruns: What does a neurologist do?

Every day a neurologist has to deal with many serious medical questions. Annie and I constantly exchange email concerning critical patient problems and other important issues.

Here, for example, is a conversation excerpt on a patient who called in for urgent medical advice.

Gee...maybe I should wasted my doctor's time like that. Lord knows he hasn't been able to come up with a drug that will work for my migraines that isn't a health hazard.

Surely she should be seeing two ? ;-)

How is that even medically relevant? Why would any doctor place that one a report? I'm curious.... for a laugh?

I work at a veterinary clinic. We got a message the other day asking, "which would win in a fight - a moose or a polar bear?"

So what is the answer, Lori?

Lori said...

Well, polar bear, of course :P!

Hey, I have known physicians who have their office sect/MA go out and shop FOR THEIR FAMILY or worse yet, mistress, as part of "other duites as required"...

As a pre-med... comments like these make me second guess the "enjoyment" and "fulfillement" I am going to feel helping people with my career.... not sure how I would respond to this question... but I guess I would advise her on something I would like. Ha!
