From the Official Google Blog:Before joining Google, I was a full-time primary care doctor. My time working with patients every day, hearing their stories and trying to help make them better, is an experience I will cherish forever. And about once a week, I still practice as an urgent care doctor at a county hospital. Based on these experiences, I have witnessed the problems patients face. One of the biggest ones I see is the difficulty patients have getting answers to the most basic questions, such as 'What tests and treatments should I know about if I have type 2 diabetes? Is the care I am getting on par with what most experts recommend?'

My spouse was walking down the street and saw someone outside Duane Reade (a large drugstore chain) dressed in full surgical gear -- scrub top, scrub cap, and sneakers -- passing out pamphlets and announcing "Walk-In Medical Care! Walk-In Medical Care!" There was no difference between the way they announced this and the way you would announce, say, a show at a comedy club or a sale on cellphones. More info here.

There are many times when patients or doctors call me, and I ask myself if they really needed or wanted the services of a urologist.One of the most appalling abuses of our on-call service happened to me recently. Seeing a doctor from our group means that there is always someone available 24 hours a day, seven days a week. It is understood that when you contact the physician on call after hours, it is usually for an emergent reason. Even more so when it's in the wee hours of the morning, when sleep is all you should be thinking about.I got a call at 1AM, and when I tried to call the number back, the line was disconnected. T...

Two medical cases in the news recently caught my eye.In the first, tragic case, a 17 year old track star from Staten Island was found dead. The detectives who found her noticed a faint minty smell. Laboratory tests eventually revealed a fatal overdose of methyl salicylate, also known as oil of wintergreen, the active ingredient in Bengay. (The teenagers blood reportedly had six times the safe level of methyl salicylate.) Apparently, she had been applying more than the recommended amount of Ultra Strength Bengay to relieve her muscular pain from training....Full post at Tech Medicine.

over my med body! » Physiology of Breaking The Seal Okay medical blogosphere, let’s figure this one out (comments are open!). Is there a physiologic mechanism to “breaking the seal,” or is it just a drinking myth? (Breaking the seal, if you’re not familiar with the term, refers to the idea that if you’re out drinking, once you start peeing, then you’re going to have to go urinate every 10-20 minutes after that. “Don’t break the seal!” means don’t start peeing, ’cause then you’ll never stop!)
