This is just a small annoyance, but when the pharmacist from MegaSuper Pharmacy pages you about a prescription that you or your partner has written, I wish they would give me a direct number so I could bypass the whole automated beginning. They make me go through their entire menu before I am able to talk to a real live pharmacist, and I find the whole process thoroughly distasteful and annoying. I detest those automated voice prompts. More and more pharmacies AND medical offices are using them, though I'm proud to say that our clinic hasn't fallen prey to those things. It's one thing when my credit card company makes me "...

Lonely on callEmail this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
I'm on call this entire Labor Day weekend, and I have to tell you that there is no place lonelier than a hospital on a holiday weekend. The usual hustle and bustle of a hospital is normally muted during weekends, but it seems especially more pronounced on holiday weekends. As I wander down subdued hallways, look at films in a deserted radiology area, and search for special catheters in the eerily quiet OR, I feel strangely isolated.So far, I've been proud of the fact that on saturday, I was able to finish two OR cases and round at 4 different hospitals all before 11:30AM. Of course, I won't tell you what time I started my ...

I can barely bring myself to write about this now, but we had to put down our 16 yo terrier mix a few weeks ago. She was affectionately referred to as "Crusty McTerrier" by my husband, mostly because she had that typical terrier coat that gave her a slightly disheveled (yet adorable) look, but also because of her curmudgeonly demeanor.I adopted Crusty when she was 3 months old, about one month before I started medical school. I was walking through the heart-wrenching kennels at the local Humane Society when I spotted a rambunctious and scruffy looking puppy that was just begging me to take her home. And the rest is history...

When Fear Is Near: Threat Imminence Elicits Prefrontal-Periaqueductal Gray Shifts in Humans, in Science:Humans, like other animals, alter their behavior depending on whether a threat is close or distant. We investigated spatial imminence of threat by developing an active avoidance paradigm in which volunteers were pursued through a maze by a virtual predator endowed with an ability to chase, capture, and inflict pain. Using functional magnetic resonance imaging, we found that as the virtual predator grew closer, brain activity shifted from the ventromedial prefrontal cortex to the periaqueductal gray. This shift showed max...

...which, in the medical world, refers to the practice of not carrying malpractice insurance.There are many states where it is mandatory for every physician to carry medical liability insurance in order to practice medicine and be on staff at a hospital. However, there are a few states where having malpractice insurance is optional. Notably Florida is one of them, and there is a growing number of doctors who are "going bare".It is certainly not surprising, especially when you consider the fact that some of the "high-risk" specialties such as OB-GYNs need to shell out between $150,000 to $300,000 a year to have coverage.

I learned yesterday that he didn't show up for the test, and when we called him about it, he replied:"Well, I talked it over with my family, and we decided it really wasn't the right thing to do. But we are still going ahead with surgery right?"The answer would be N...

For example, when I took it a few years back, one of the questions went like this:Your patient arrives in the emergency department after being beaten with a baseball bat.> Examine abdomenHe has left upper quadrant tenderness and is complaining of abdominal pain.> CT scan of abdomenThe CT scan reveals a splenic hematoma> Call surgery consultYou get the idea.

Before I entered the patient's room, his caretaker took me aside and whispered:"He's from West Virginia".He said it in a tone that suggested I should immediately understand all the implications of that statement. After seeing my rather blank look, he elaborated:"Well, that's why he can't read or write, and why he may be prejudiced against seeing a lady doctor".So I thought about just dictating on my Assessment and Plan:1.

Politeness versus common senseEmail this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
I am certain that there is no polite way to tell a patient that a large part of her medical issues stems from poor hygiene and that my treatment plan would largely include showering at least twice a week. I venture as far as to say that even a shower once a week would fall under good patient compliance.The patient was seen for recurrent bladder infections, and upon spending just a few minutes with her, it was eminently clear why she was prone to them. She desperately needed a few private moments with soap and water.The icing on the cake came towards the end of the clinic visit when the patient wanted me to culture her bell...

Over the years, I feel I have developed a special talent for haircuts.... below the navel. It's common practice for surgeons to clip the area of the surgical incision in order to minimize wound infections and for ease of the surgery itself (don't want to be fighting with hair), and naturally, my area of expertise just happens to be in the nether regions.I have removed hair on innumerous occasions. That's just part of my job, and I have tried many different approaches. I have recently switched from razors to clippers, mostly because the surgical literature suggests that clipping is better than shaving in terms of reducing ...

Being a general urologist, I don't restrict my practice to any particular urological condition (and despite rumors to the contrary, I will see patients with dermatological issues on their genitalia), but there are some conditions that I see more frequently in my practice. Kidney stones are very common and because of my gender, I see a lot of female patients with incontinence and recurrent UTIs year round.After days of dealing with very similar chief complaints, I will begin to reflect that it's been a while since I've seen a new patient with kidney cancer, or helped out with a kidney transplant.
