Incisive Commentary (read: deranged rantings) about Health Care, Politics, and Idiotarians Everywhere. Friday, September 10, 2004. The patient, however, seeking a justification for not paying the bill, sought to create an uproar to end the relationship. She refused to admit that she had received a fax in return for her faxed request. (My office fax produces a receipt.). She reported me to the Medical Director of the Hospital where I am President of the Medical Staff (a voluntary position), and she receiv...

Incisive Commentary (read: deranged rantings) about Health Care, Politics, and Idiotarians Everywhere. Tuesday, June 07, 2005. Orac, at www.oracknows.blogspot.com. Recently posted about the tendency of doctors, nurses, et al. to refer to patients by their diagnosis (or room number), as in "the diabetic in room 3 would like to speak to you." Here's my reply:. Posted by Doctor Disgruntled @ 6/07/2005 09:36:00 am. Ron Pauls alien supporters. I laugh out loud. Release your information, stat! Back on the blog.

Incisive Commentary (read: deranged rantings) about Health Care, Politics, and Idiotarians Everywhere. Thursday, September 06, 2007. Ron Paul's alien supporters. I am generally sympathetic to libertarianism, although I have a broad view of the legitimacy of pre-emptive violence in self-defense and am NOT an isolationist. But reading a discussion about the RonPaulian craziness and seeing his devoted supporters spam all of these online polls gave me an idea for a label for all those types:. As in, "Captain!

But I can't help it, I've been reading so much about the military action in Najaf, and it's been persistently frustrating. Can't we all agree that if throngs of murderers pack rifles and explosives into a "Holy Shrine" then the shrine is at least temporarily considered NOT HOLY until they can be killed?

Thursday, April 29, 2004. I'm new to this hospital. I guess that's why she's comfortable being that rude to me. Or maybe it's because she knows damn well that while I may be an Ivy-league educated surgeon, she's a unionized employee who is pretty much untouchable. Bitch.). This is what she stopped me for. Other than that my T-...

Incisive Commentary (read: deranged rantings) about Health Care, Politics, and Idiotarians Everywhere. Thursday, January 06, 2005. Another recurring problem at the hospital is the total inefficiency of most of the recurring processes we perform. I'm thinking here specifically of the operating room. Parallel processing would allow the room to be prepared and the patient to be prepped by anesthesia in advance of the start time. Where else do they go while we're operating on the patient? I laugh out loud.

I read something over at http:/ www.doctornos.blogspot.com. That inspired me. He wrote about how patients are very poor at answering questions. What's the deal? Me: "What's the problem, Mrs. Patient? MP: "It hurts when I do this.". Me: "And how long has this been bothering you? MP: "A long time.". Ron Pauls alien supporters.

Examined her, scanned her, took a history (why couldn't any one of the other personnel there, including several MDs and assorted other "medical care providers" do this? And decided to visit her aunt, then went into labor. I was a bit anxious myself, trying to make sure we didn't have an impending disaster on our hands, and faced with...
