Finding Back My ‘Margaret-Ness’ by Margaret Franklin
The other night my husband and I saw the movie �You, me and DuPree and the more I think about it, the more I find myself relating to the character of DuPree and thinking that he, too, definitely had some �Aspie-ish� traits. Not all Aspies are shy, introverted bookworms. In fact many of us are also quite bouncy, sociable and outgoing, very much like DuPree, who often spoke his mind and got himself into some pretty awkward situations by basically diving head-first into everything. Although he could not get a job and his actions often got him into trouble, DuPree had some very interesting and wonderful gifts and talents...

Worth the Struggle
Cough No.2 Tuesday - Entry 22: Today is day Day 21 of my bout with the flu and bronchitis. For a while we thought I had pnuemonia, but my doctors seem to be conflicted on that diagnosis. Certainly my lungs don't show the precense of pnuemonia now, so perhaps we caught it in time. The weekend after New Year's was a scary one indeed, full of gasping and bloody sputum. I've had bronchitis repeatedly through my life. That was not bronchitis. Being sick is all I've managed to do well these past three weeks. Today I showered for the first time in a few days, then had to sit down. I watched an episode of Downton Abbey, then g...

Unnecessary Care?
It isn’t much of a case, but it created questions in my mind. A mom brings her 8 year old daughter to the hospital for a nonproductive cough. No fever. No runny nose. Just a cough. The patient had started school again this week, and so the microbiome in her nasal passages had thus begun mixing with all of the other microbiomes on school lunch tables, desks, and childrens’ shirt sleeves. The end result was that now she was coughing for a couple of days – like a majority of other children in the school. The child looked fine. I told the mother that she likely had a “head cold” and that it would ...

Road Trip - Check!
We made it! We are in our apartment and are, for the most part, unpacked.  But it was a miserable trip.  We were both sick, Mark much less so since he had taken the flu shot earlier last year.  As we drove, I got progressively worse, and now I am so sick I find myself taking hydrocodone for my throat and chest just to contain the pain, and I've had this stuff for years and years so it's not like I abuse it.  We spent the night at the Ritz Carlton which should have been a fun time, but we were so sick we ordered room service, took way too much flu medicine and went to bed.  I was worse in the mornin...

The cliff moved
Yesterday I had an appointment with my medical oncologist to finalize me going off Femara (after 5 1/2 years of hot flashes - jealous?). I have been debating/stressing/agonizing over this for a few weeks or months. I expected to have the big conversation yesterday.I was wrong.My oncologist's two children shared their stomach flu with their mother. Apparently she started vomiting as she drove to the hospital. I saw one of her nurse practitioners who I had never seen before instead.She was very nice and remarked about my lengthy medical background (it is now at a level where doctors and other medical personnel comment on it)...

Healthcare Update — 12-31-2012
A brief interview with an emergency physician who is also a health care attorney … defense only. On the right track about the Affordable Care Act, though – it’s all about access, not insurance. How often have you heard this claim before: Alcohol saved my life! For a man from the UK, the claim was apparently true. The CDC is warning that this year’s flu season is early and could be “severe.” We already got that picture. Vaccinations probably will help, so get them while you can. Washing your hands and avoiding sick people will definitely help. Antibiotics won’t help, so stop asking for a ZeePack for your c...

Healthcare.gov, EMR Switch, and Flu and RSV Detector: Around Healthcare Scene
It was a quiet week around Healthcare Scene, but here are a few of the posts that did get posted. Hope everyone had a wonderful holiday, and this new year will be the best yet! EMR and EHR 11 Reasons Why Healthcare is So Screwed Up This list was initially created by GetReferralMD and reposted on EMR and EHR. This post doesn’t go into details about each of the reason, but it provides some interesting food for thought. Some of the reasons on the list include insurance companies, ignorance, and McDonalds. With the upcoming new year, it’s the perfect time for resolutions to be made, and some of these issues to be ...

> 20 000 French MD ' s enroll in " Doctors aren ' t Pigeons " (Angry pigeons ;-) Facebook group in 2.5 days
Breaking news: At 20 000 + doctors enrolled in his FB group, the founder Dr Letertre is appearing on TV and on his way to becoming national news.For the first time in my blog-writing history, I had a hard time today getting my blogpost out, because every few minutes, the number I was writing about shifted upward. I'm writing about the latest French social media phenomenon, an open Facebook group called"Doctors are not pigeons". This group was launched October 7, 2012, not by a veterinarian ;-) but by a French plastic surgeon, Dr Letertre, from Nice, France. The name has nothing to do with the famous Finnish a...

My friends at Ozmosis, the Physician to Physician social network, have put together a nice presentation entitled“Health Alerts& Lessons Learned from H1N1”. They’ve done a good job describing how simple social media tools can help clinicians communicate with each other during a public health crisis. It ’s worth checking out.
