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.

ReplyDeleteYou saw this coming some time ago! What a sad state of affairs that even with this article there are bloggers who continue to disparage doctors, their incomes...even going so far as to continue to say they are making too much $. When will people learn? They won't.
911, I always knew it wasn't you.
ReplyDeleteIt's Frank!

ReplyDeleteYou tend to post with increasingly less frequency. Are you busy with work or just burned out from the medical side of things in general?

dear anonymous,
ReplyDeletei'm very busy buying guns and building the bunker. actually, i started MDOD as a means to vent and a means to get a doctor's perspective on health care out there. i think i did that for a few years. now i'm out of the game and have no desire to go back. i have no passion for medicine or, more correctly, no anger about it. it was a beautiful and magnificent profession for a long time. i have no desire to chronicle its demise. i am considering closing up shop here, but thank you for your kind comment.
best

ReplyDeleteIf you choose to do that I understand. I selfishly hope that you will let us know when you might decide not to post any longer. In my family, having had a situation much like yours, it sort of gave some hope to
the ups and downs of all of this, but as you have so aptly noted, medicine is not what it was.
Hey Homo's,
ReplyDeleteSame thang happened with my blog,
You remember, "Frankie's Hideout" with the "Ted Kennedy Countdown Clock"(I was off by 4 months), Star Trek TOS episode reviews, and random photos of my wife's shoes,
Late nite,feeling lucky, Mrs. Drackman slinks up to the waterbed...(YES I have a waterbed)...
only to find me furiously typing the review to a 1972 "Marcus Welby MD" episode...
"My God, Man, the man Defibrillates without shouting "Clear!" first, doesn't he know thats an automatic "Fail" on ACLS???
"You can have Me or your blog! not both" She schreeched...
and she didn't even appreciate my Jack Benny-tribute" I'm Thinking about it" re-ply...
But just as a teaser...
Daughter #1 starts Marine Corps Officer Training Tuesday.....
Thats right America, one of my Seed is on the Inside, probably first Bee-Otch, I mean XX Commandant 20 years from now...

ReplyDeleteCongrats to your daughter.....
is this the end of MDOD?
ReplyDeleteI hope not.
I have enjoyed lurking for years....all the way to my cardiology fellowship....
Where did everyone go?? (crickets....)
ReplyDeleteI checked and read the blog every day something new was there. Hope it's not dead yet (sorry for the Monty Python). Will miss all of you if so. Thx....Z
