Keeping in mind how much I love lawyers, this is a pretty big admission for me. If it wasn't for lawyers, we wouldn't need lawyers."). It's not what you think, however. I would like a lawyer to draft an exemption clause for me, for pharmacy, for those of us in the trenches. It will be an amnesty clause. Get out of jail free card. Links to this post.

They're going to destroy our casual joy…. I sometimes wonder what my topic or story will be for tomorrow's post. Sometimes I write days and weeks ahead. Other times, I make it up right before I set the post. Yesterday provided today's "Why do I care? Moment, while I was floating to another store. CP: How may I hel…. CP: Shh. Good Gi...

And follow my blog on Twitter @pharmacynic. To receive notifications on new posts. Friday, August 28, 2015. No one knows the value of a prescription medicine. If we want to improve healthcare, we need to revisit our approach to pricing. Everyone knows how much a gallon of milk is worth. And a gallon of gas. The harder something is to produce, or the harder to find, the more expensive it becomes. Think lobster (outside of Maine), caviar, truffles, Kobe Beef, Lamborghinis, etc. Make healthcare more afforda...

And follow my blog on Twitter @pharmacynic. To receive notifications on new posts. Wednesday, July 29, 2015. The Struggle is Real. These conversations must happen everywhere. They just must. Otherwise, crying and drinking and rocking myself to sleep is not consolation enough. CP: How may I help you? Thorn In My Side: I am calling to check on my profile. CP: Ok. What, may I ask, is your specific inquiry? TIMS: There was this TV show on the other night and I want to know what it was. CP: Did you watch it?

Struck by a Turtle: July 2015
http://turtlestruck.blogspot.com/2015_07_01_archive.html
Struck by a Turtle. Tuesday, July 28, 2015. Years ago, after a short hospital stay, my father opined, "If you stay in the hospital long enough, they will. Kill you." Never thought much more about it until I entered medical coding and boy, was he right. It's like the Run for the Roses. And it's Afib early out of the gates with a strong start, followed closely by Anti Coag. Afib and Anti Coag holding strong in the lead going into day 1. And Trochanteric FX is out of the race! And we have CDiff in the lead,...

Struck by a Turtle. Wednesday, April 23, 2014. My 17 year old son came up behind me while I was staring at this previously blank page and started to rub my shoulders. He said, "Struck by a Turtle? I told him it's a medical code that further illustrates the method by which a patient presents for an injury. I explained that I wanted to create a blog about the ridiculousness of the healthcare industry and it seemed like a good name to start with. He agreed and said, "Well that is. Struck by a Turtle.

Doctor Grumpy in the House: December 7, 1941
http://drgrumpyinthehouse.blogspot.com/2014/12/december-7-1941.html
Doctor Grumpy in the House. A Blog detailing the insanity of my medical practice and the stupidity of everyday life. Sunday, December 7, 2014. December 7, 1941. December 7, 1941, was a landmark day in American history, but this post isn't about the story you've heard. The events at Pearl Harbor are well known, but what's virtually forgotten is what happened 142 miles away that same day. In 1941 Ni'ihau had no connection to the rest of the world, except for a weekly supply boat that came from Kaua'i on Mo...

Struck by a Turtle. Monday, August 3, 2015. In the medical field, there lives a myriad of acceptable abbreviations. Everyone in the medical field understands what these mean. It's like back in the day with shorthand. If you know the language, you can read it. If you don't, you can't. Simple. So, take the use of X. The letter X is commonly used by providers to finish a word they simply are too overwhelmed to finish off. Ddx - differential diagnosis. So pretty clear cut, right? Struck by a Turtle. Work wit...
