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.

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.

I assume that this is supposed to be referring to some sort of cruiciate ligament injury, but when I see CrCL I only see creatinine clearance... #pharmacistlife
A fine example of a function that shouldn't be outsourced.
Smoke good. Fire bad.
Must have been written by someone who doesn't have English as their first language.
Was it written in another language first and then translated?
Aside from the stilted language what am I supposed to be seeing here? I kneed to know, don’t horse me around.
All of the product descriptions on Amazon.com are a lesson in bad Mandarin to Engrish translations.
What language will this course be taught in?
Whenever I see CrCl, I think kidneys, not knees nor knock knees. RPh
Whatever it is, it sounds painful.
The Merck Veterinary Manual - It should be on the bookshelf of every (human) health care professional who owns a dog or who is owned by a cat...
Cranial Cruciate Ligament. Although it is called that, I'm not sure I've seen it abbreviated like that before. More typically if it's abbreviated "CCL" or "ACL" for "Anterior Cruciate Ligament".
And wow... I'd have a lot of trouble convincing myself to sign up for a course where I have to use grammatical extrapolation just to figure out the advertising.
It's a veterinary surgical version of snake oil? If they had enough money to bring a new product through governmental approval, you'd think they could at least pay a native English speaker to proof-read their ad copy. Or did they use all their budget for bribes?
Animals don't have an anterior aspect - they use cranial and caudal (toward head or tail), and dorsal or ventral (toward spine or abdomen)
I understand that the course _wants_ to focus on certain things, but what if something else suddenly becomes more interesting? If outside circumstances intervene? Or the teacher just walks away in despair?
Spent 25 years as a medical transcriptionist. Heard dictations that sounded just like this. Some of the worst dictating providers I ever transcribed were from native English speakers, believe it or not.
