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.

So, what was it about?
Using high-octane in that cheap BMW, or fuel-injection versus standard carburetors?
So do the title length for the journal articles relating to your medical condition inversely correlate to your prognosis (i.e. the longer the title, the shorter your expected lifespan)?
11 pages with lots of graphs and statistics, 33 references and this was the conclusion; “ Among critically ill patients with acute kidney injury receiving continuous kidney replacement therapy, anticoagulation with regional citrate, compared with systemic heparin anti- coagulation, resulted in significantly longer filter life span. The trial was terminated early and was therefore underpowered to reach conclusions about the effect of anticoagulation strategy on mortality”. I’m surprised it was published in a general medical journal like JAMA. A more specialist journal might have been more appropriate...
The next Harry Potter book?
THE ARISTOCRATS!
I can only imagine the massive number of footnotes!
Thought the footnotes were in the Podiatrists Journal?
Sorry - it was just hanging there and I had to do it.
Brian, well played
too many variables and sorry but if I were dying of kidney disease and
you were mostly interested in whether my meds were impacting the life of the filter in the dialysis machine, I would feel used... or pissed? (oops, guess I could not resist either)
