A Day at the Ballpark
8 Sep 09 1:03 A GMT
So we went to the baseball game today. D-Backs Vs Dodgers and as usual it was attended heavily by wanna-be gangbangers. We sit on the concourse level in the handicapped area so we don't have to get up and down all the time as people come and go.
Why I had to Quit Blogging.
28 Aug 09 1:13 A GMT
I would like to relate why I had to stop blogging two years ago. It was not because I was bored or ran out of material or ideas it was because a butt munching bureaucrat filed a complaint against my license relating to the patient story bel

Angioedema
2 Nov 07 2:44 P GMT
It started innocently enough. A slight feeling of fullness in the right side of my upper lip. There was no tingling, burning, or pain so I didn't think much of it. It was about 1600 and I was at work with four more hours on the clock to go

Juan Rodriguez Cabrillo. Who, you say? Though he died on January 3, 1543 he does figure into this narrative. Jump forward to 1999. That is the year my father in law died. Sitting at the breakfast table his heart stopped and that was that. We ha

I'm on Fire

I would like to relate a recent story about a 96 Y/0 gentleman living in a nursing home and the battle that ensued over his care. For those of you out there wishing for Universal Health Care you

One of my patients died today. That in itself is not an unusual event as my patients live an average of 2.8 years from the time I start seeing them. They are living in a nursing home after all. I was not on call today but felt compelled t

Recently at work I took a break to go sit out in the garden and relax. While I was relaxing and finally enjoying the cooler (84 degrees) weather I spotted a black and white kitty sitting in the bushes. After staring at me for a while and after

Injustice
10 Oct 06 12:29 A GMT
I had a patient who spent almost his entire life on or near the ocean, at least until the end. He toured the world transporting the commerce of life in massive steel ships. At the beginning of World War II he was working as a Merchant Seaman on the P
Communication Problems

I was reading a post at this blog and thought I would make a comment on it here. I would have left a comment on that site however every time I have attempted to comment there the comment mysteriously disappears. It's not that I am ac
Futile Care

The most excellent Geena at Code Blog has a complimentary piece posted about futile care. If you are new to reading this blog I suggest you hop over to Geena's place first and read about real life situations patients/families where caught
More Living Will Discussion
24 Sep 06 9:08 P GMT
This is not meant to be legal advice. If you have questions on what to put in a Living Will or not put in a Living Will I suggest you consult both 1) Your medical provider, 2) A lawyer. And not necessarily in that order. I will have to be caref
Family Store Closing
2 Sep 06 10:36 P GMT
I went to the hardware store today. Upon arriving there I noticed a sign in the window. “All merchandise 30% off and everything must go.” After 81 years being operated by the same family the doors are being closed permanently. This is a c

8 Jul 06 11:43 P GMT
Working late one night in the ER a 22 year old female patient was brought in for treatment by the paramedics. Below is the actual nurse’s note I wrote while monitoring the patient. No patient confidentially is broached with this entry as this n

The Art of Whining
30 Jun 06 12:44 A GMT
I was jumped in the parking lot by a woman saying she was here to see the wife of one of my patients. I casually asked “And what is she complaining about today?”
She responded “What.”
I repeated what I said.
She indignantly
Time to Go Now
25 Jun 06 2:15 A GMT
I learned a long time ago that when a patient tells you they are going to die, one might want to listen. If the person is a 35 year old male with a kidney stone or a hysterical 17 year old Hispanic female then the grain of salt axiom applies.
If the
I Just Want To Die
24 Jun 06 7:30 P GMT
I had an interesting two week work period a while back. It’s not unusual for me to have daily conversations concerning death and dying. My patient population has a combined lifespan of 2.8 years by the time they sign onto my service. Nationally
