“If Pac-Man had affected us as kids, we'd all be running around in dark rooms, munching pills and listening to repetitive electronic music.” -- Marcus Brigstocke
Pac-Man is an appropriate symbol for UPMC. This health care megalo-giant has devoured more hospitals and physician practices here in Pittsburgh than you can imagine. They engaged in a battle of the Titans with Highmark BC/BS and could care less about the patients caught in the middle of their battle.
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.

Note: I do not answer medical questions. If you are having a medical issue, see your own doctor. For all you know I'm really a Mongolian yak herder and have no medical training at all except in issues regarding the care and feeding of Mongolian yaks.

Who knew Pac Man would grow up to be so successful? I will now proceed to shame my son that once again, he has been bettered by a video game....

But soon, with personalized medicine, we'll have all sorts of other brain tumor therapies available, like Missile Command, Dig Dug, and Q*bert.
