He joined Spinal Tap in 1967 after the departure of bassist Ronnie Pudding.<BR/><BR/>Derek described the turbulent relationship of bandmates David St. Hubbins and Nigel Tufnel as "fire and ice". He preferred to find a happy medium as "lukewarm water". He still enjoys his burl-wood pipe on occasion and continues to enhance the fit of his trousers with a strategically placed foil-wrapped cucumber, despite an embarrassing incident passing through a metal detector at Chicago's O'Hare International Airport during 1984's "Tap Into America" tour.911DOChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06466669111561150174noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24021163.post-82366087829050382522008-01-25T07:47:00.000-06:002008-01-25T07:47:00.000-06:00"Great comedy is borne of tragedy"I believe it's a..."Great comedy is borne of tragedy"<BR/><BR/>I believe it's actually Derek Smalls who wrote that.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24021163.post-91655063960317317292008-01-25T01:37:00.000-06:002008-01-25T01:37:00.000-06:00Lovely post. 85: Very nice.Lovely post. <BR/><BR/>85: Very nice.EEhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13697074755915208566noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24021163.post-72683619213519169452008-01-24T21:46:00.000-06:002008-01-24T21:46:00.000-06:00Last night, I had 5 patients with "fibromyalgia". ...Last night, I had 5 patients with "fibromyalgia". Of course, all were on bags of meds (none of which ever helped) and wanted relief of their pain NOW in the ER.<BR/><BR/>That was a record for me!<BR/><BR/>One of these patients had the trifecta: fibromyalgia, chronic fatigue syndrome, and mitral valve prolapse! She was the only one that was admittable....she had pneumonia and was hypotensive and hypoxemic (I suspect it was an aspiration from the baskets of drugs that she took for her non-existant problems.<BR/><BR/>Our hospital is full. We are holding patients in ER, and the chronic pain patients were furious that I wouldn't admit them for "further work up" (they've had it all already) or "pain relief" (IV Demerol works best, thank you very much). <BR/><BR/>I wish the FDA would approve HDST (high dose slap therapy) or HDPT (high dose pillow therapy). That's all that was going to help these people.<BR/><BR/>Here's the kick.....every one of these people tried to see their PCP and was told "go to the ER". When I called their PCP, they just went on and on about what a kook the patient was. <BR/><BR/>"So, why did your office tell them to come to the ER?" I asked. "Well, just to make sure nothing else was going on" was the reply. Admittedly, one had pneumonia and needed to be in the hospital, but the others took a shoe horn and a crow bar to get them out of the ER. And I'll get the complaint...not their PCP!<BR/><BR/>Lynn, I'll love you even without nipples....take the medication!erdoc85https://www.blogger.com/profile/06373340227068589953noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24021163.post-65854255959084390592008-01-24T17:19:00.000-06:002008-01-24T17:19:00.000-06:00We had our own "conversioneur" today.

Today he decided he was going to go apneic and bought himself a trip to the ICU. He was close to getting intubated when we realized his ABG was WNL. A few hours later, he could communicate by writing but couldn't speak. Another hour later and he was walking. Upon further review, he's done this before. <BR/><BR/>We see more conversion disorder in peds than I care to admit or think about.Beth Nelsenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04489498223489567024noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24021163.post-32817752840283042232008-01-24T15:50:00.000-06:002008-01-24T15:50:00.000-06:00911, lately I've had the urge to walk on my hands ...911, lately I've had the urge to walk on my hands wearing little more than well-placed coconuts while belting out a resounding chorus of "Everything's Coming Up Roses." Is there a drug for this affliction where I won't suffer intermittent rectal bleeding and cause my left nipple fall off?Lynn Pricehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02958402288888144904noreply@blogger.com
