  1. Last week I told a lady she was going to die. Today her family came by and thanked me for taking good care of her. She died today.
  2. RT @ernursek: How did I miss this site? http://www.ertards.com/
  3. New Blog Post: Recognizing Death. How to talk to an MD about your prognosis. http://bit.ly/5DekuQ
  4. Happy Buy Nothing Day! Love your family and your life. You won't find happiness in any store this Christmas. http://bit.ly/4p7SZx
  5. I'm thankful this is the one big holiday I get to spend with my family instead of working in a hospital.
  6. @ernursek Biggest drinking night? What about New Years?
  7. Old Doc: "I'll just write some Amoxicillin. Antibiotics never hurt anybody." He actually said that! WTF? Ever heard of MRSA?
  8. Cool! Doctor D's blogging on the Painscale made it to Grand Rounds. It's the first link. http://bit.ly/8xrLBk
  9. Today Doctor D risked life and limb by jumping into the debate on the new mammogram guidelines! http://bit.ly/7ihNtn
  10. Too tired to even check email. Total exhaustion.
  11. The Last Psychiatrist: Fun new blog for today's Friday Links http://bit.ly/6ORV1S
  12. I understand why people don't like preventive visits... They remind us of our own mortality. Nobody likes to consider decline and death.
  13. Went to see my family doctor today. It is interesting to be on the other side of the exam table.
  14. Medical interventions injure or kill thousands every year. You would think patients would be happy to hear EBM advises less intervention?
  15. Disturbingly absent from public debate on Mammo and PSA: Unnecessary tests can cause unnecessary surgeries, which cause deaths too!
  16. Feeling cold and achy. This is a bad sign! Wish I had found the H1N1 vaccine. It's still a rarity around these parts.
  17. Conflicting interests. Why you and your MD are at odds over phone calls: http://bit.ly/3WAASC
  18. Semi-cynical wise medical quote of the day: "All bleeding stops, eventually."
  19. Is it ethical for MDs to sell medical alert bracelets in their clinics? http://bit.ly/1ETivs
  20. Wow, never expected morning to get here so soon. I don't think my body was designed to get up this early.
