Inpatient consults are completely worthless. I too can order an MRI without thinking. I can't even remember the last time a neurologist actually admitted one of their own patients. As a medicine subspecialist I long ago stopped consulting neurology. The crap called a neurology consult bordered on medicare fraud.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5883634615775822475.post-28748106616263576932012-03-29T19:35:24.267-04:002012-03-29T19:35:24.267-04:00I'd love to hear the end of this story.

Unbeknownst to her the woman had a great many other things wrong with her, including advanced dementia, and was overdue to shuffle off her mortal coil. When the senior geriatrician arrived on the ward in the morning he glared at the young doctor and growled "Excellent therapy, Dr Keen...but MISAPPLIED!"Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5883634615775822475.post-86667556685439210042012-03-25T01:38:36.706-04:002012-03-25T01:38:36.706-04:00How incredibly rude of you, Dr. Grumpy, to screw u...How incredibly rude of you, Dr. Grumpy, to screw up this man's day!
