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.

You're going to be painful for life. Whatever.
Glad that's not my physician.
Hazards of an open mic.
That just about describes how arthritis is viewed by modern medicine.
Aren't those the lyrics to "Smells Like Teen Spirit?"
"I mean, we're all going to die someday anyway, so what difference does it really make?"
That's why you should always tip your radiologist well.
Makes sense if the finding was already known.
"What people don't seem to get is that I'm doing this whole apply-to-med-school-graduate-from-med-school-do-internship-and-residency-and-be-a-radiologist thing ironically."
"6-7"
Back in the day, when I was teaching med students and young doctors, I used to ask them to consider the situation where the witticism they was about to write in the notes or in a report would be read out in Court and the judge would fix them with an icy stare and ask “What exactly does NFN (or ‘whatever’) mean, Doctor?” . (NFB = Normal for Norfolk).
"When you've been in the radiology game as long as I have, it's hard to work up much enthusiasm over anything short of Ultra-Mega-Hyper-Turbo-Charged Super-Duper X-Treme multilevel discogenic spondylosis."
Never in history has the word "disco" seemed so grim.
My patient died today. Or maybe yesterday, I don't know.
