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.

Love it!
Maybe it is artisanal?
Phantastic numbers
Confucius say, now with certainty: "Phart IS anal."
I had occasion to require inpatient care at my local hospital last month, and a sign invited patients or visiting family members who had concerns about the patient experiencing things like trouble breathing or chest pains to contact the "Family Activated Rapid Response Team." They at least had the good sense not to reduce that to an acronym.
I would giggle at this everytime I went to go see a blood gas - I intentionally TRY to find someone with it JUST so that I can laugh!
Awesomeness!
On the subject of good acronyms:
Emergency Medical Unit+rural Australian hospital=nurses putting up Big Bird posters.
Where else is your abg going to come from?
Apparently this sort of irresponsibility is deliberately inflicted upon the medical community, as in SNOT, the sino-nasal outcome test. The poor ENT doc I transcribe for has to dictate this with a straight "face" (voice, actually).
Mark of an intensivist...my first reaction was to wonder why the patient is hyperventilating.
