Surgeonsblog: Breast Cancer Women
http://surgeonsblog.blogspot.com/2006/09/breast-cancer-women_09.html
Wherein a surgeon tells some stories, shares some thoughts, and occasionally shoots off his mouth. Like a surgeon. Saturday, September 09, 2006. Something you may not know, and won't get by looking at most renditions of them, is that the legendary Amazon warrior women. And about types; not even the gooey stuff itself! The prof was unsurprised: "Happens all the time," he said. "Always the men. Ladies live with blood. It's no big deal to them." Bunch 'a wimps, we. Addendum, 5/2014: I was sent this link.

Bright Lights, Cold Steel: am i glowing?
http://brightlightscoldsteel.blogspot.com/2007/12/am-i-glowing.html
Bright Lights, Cold Steel. Tuesday, December 18, 2007. The drive in total for that one case was over 90 minutes of x-ray exposure. That's more than the recommended exposure in one month, someone told me. Not to mention the fact that the hospital does not provide leaded glasses to protect our lenses from developing cataracts, which is a known long-term consequence of x-ray exposure. How is that even allowed? Uhm, no, I'm not a junkie at all. Why are you looking at me like that? December 23, 2007 at 1:45 PM.

Surgeonsblog: Big Joe
http://surgeonsblog.blogspot.com/2006/10/big-joe.html
Wherein a surgeon tells some stories, shares some thoughts, and occasionally shoots off his mouth. Like a surgeon. Monday, October 23, 2006. A day, which flows through a tube called the bile duct. Associated with cancer. Walks like a duck, quacks like a duck, and has feathers. A duck. Duct. Was successfully placed, so by the time I operated on Big Joe, his bilirubin levels were falling. The operation would be a Whipple Procedure, which I've referred to previously. The operation was surprisingly easy desp...

Surgeonsblog: Memorable Patients: Part seven
http://surgeonsblog.blogspot.com/2006/09/memorable-patients-part-seven.html
Wherein a surgeon tells some stories, shares some thoughts, and occasionally shoots off his mouth. Like a surgeon. Thursday, September 21, 2006. Memorable Patients: Part seven. Side effects of high dose steroids. In the middle of the belly wall, the rectus muscles (the six-pack muscles, in the fine and fit) are separated by a fibrous band, called the linea alba. Sharply, fastly, and get in there. What you'd expect, based on the odds, is a bleeding duodenal ulcer. For myriad reasons, but it was clear the ...

Bright Lights, Cold Steel: '07 ---> '08
http://brightlightscoldsteel.blogspot.com/2007/12/07-08.html
Bright Lights, Cold Steel. Monday, December 31, 2007. 07 - - '08. We in the medical field are used to change. We deal with it daily. We expect it. Why else would we admit someone for "serial abdominal exams"? We are ever prepared for the moment when the generalized abdominal pain turns into peritonitis and we're heading down to the operating room. So here's to the new year. Learn what you can from last year and then let it go. Get ready for 2008 - for the planned and the unplanned. Cut on the Dotted Line.

Bright Lights, Cold Steel: what do you say? part I
http://brightlightscoldsteel.blogspot.com/2008/01/what-do-you-say-part-i.html
Bright Lights, Cold Steel. Thursday, January 3, 2008. What do you say? Medical school can teach you a lot of things. Most of what they teach, they do very well: pharmacology, anatomy, physiology, pathology. One thing they don't spend much time on is how to deliver bad news. If they do have a one hour lecture devoted to it, consider yourself lucky. But something like that can't be taught in one hour. For some, even a lifetime isn't enough. Once all those spots on both arms are used up, you can try to do s...

Bright Lights, Cold Steel: hi everybody!
http://brightlightscoldsteel.blogspot.com/2008/01/hi-everybody.html
Bright Lights, Cold Steel. Sunday, January 13, 2008. I'm on trauma call today; I'm about 14 hours in and I've had six already. All moderate blunt traumas. (Meaning not really sick, but needs the activation of the trauma team. Trauma team = surgery trauma service, senior ER resident, x-ray techs. Blunt injury is like a motor vehicle or motorcycle collision. Penetrating is like a stab wound or gunshot wound.). Tonight when they arrived, I exclaimed, "Hi, everybody! January 14, 2008 at 4:41 PM. Be Still, My...

Medical School of Hard Knocks: How to Get a Free Car Ride From the Airport Using Uber
http://medicalschoolofhardknocks.blogspot.com/2014/07/how-to-get-free-car-ride-from-airport.html
Monday, July 7, 2014. How to Get a Free Car Ride From the Airport Using Uber. Post blitz today as I'm considering getting back into blogging. I'm on a "saving money" kick right now and have been using Uber religiously for short rides. Their signup bonuses have been ranging from $10-30 and have been recently been on the high end. $30 would probably get you a 30 minute ride to or from the airport for free. Plus you have the convenience of calling for it on your smartphone. You can signup here. A week ago I...
