Random thoughts from a few cantankerous American physicians. All contributors are board certified. Various specialties are represented here. I do not know where this will lead but hope it will at least be an enjoyable read. All of the names mentioned in this blog are pseudonyms, the ages have been changed, and in half the cases the gender as well. All photographs are published with patient consent or are digitally altered to preserve anonymity. Trust us, we're doctors.

Probably true what they said about an onslaught of babies being named "Barak." Poor kids. What if his presidency turns out badly?
ReplyDeleteAnd who sent who that link, 911?
ReplyDeletesome ex-lawyer and a few others (would put smiley emoticon here but i've been forever soured on it).
ReplyDeleteI'm licensed for life, dude! (-:
ReplyDeleteLoved it, very funny!!!
ReplyDeleteSpeaking of names, since I am from Mszippi, I have to get a back issue of our paper announcing the homecoming queens and share it with you. Unbelievable, I will share it later.
There are so many OBAMA shirt wearing non-workers around here I just want to puke. All they see is a free ride. Go to the post office on the 1st of the month and they are all out there having a celebration. Sorry for my rant!!!
You can't prove it by me. I've stopped watching the news and just watch Hogans Heroes reruns to avoid it...and CNN (CHRONIC NEWS NETWORK)I have totally blocked, don't want my kids watching that horror.'
ReplyDeleteSandi
We've had an onslaught of Repulicans in our ED with SI/depression.
ReplyDeleteSad. Very sad.
Uh, Sandi,
ReplyDeleteAs I understand it, you're a little off on CNN. I've been told on very good authority that CNN stands for Communist News Network.
Don't know what y'all are so depressed about, the Real election ain't till December 15th when the Electoral College meets. You can't tell me Dick Cheney and "W" don't have some trickery up their sleeves to continue Republican Rule. Maybe it's Mind Control devices in the meeting rooms, or they've got 350 identical replacements to fill in for the actual electors. Whatever it is, Don't be surprised when McCain wins 537-1 (gotta have 1 vote against to make it look good) By then Barak will be back to smoking crack in public, and the public opinion will go against him. Just hope they got a Real Conservative double for McCain...
ReplyDeleteThat was perhaps the funniest thing I have ever seen. I have seen a few of these losers in front of Starbucks on my way to work. It's like Night of the Living Dead. Must...get...people...registered...
ReplyDeleteGreta, don't think I didn't love the image...but a fever is a fever is a fever. There are only two reasons for a non immunosupressed adult to take a rectal temperature on themselves 1) you're curious, 2) you enjoy it.
ReplyDeleteIMHO
Shit, doc! It wasn't me! You know, no fever could keep me away from the local tavern.
ReplyDeleteIt was my youngest. And as bad as I was tempted to take my half of the baby monitor with me to the bar while she slept, I thought it'd make me a bad mommy and I decided against it.
Remember, the only way to deal with a Zombie is a head shot!
ReplyDeleteOh. Sorry I misunderstood. Hope your kid feels better.
ReplyDeleteCan I still keep the mental image? :)
