Happy 246th Birthday to the United States Navy!
A statement from the SecNav. There’s one there from the President too, but you’ll have to look that one up yourself.

Who should give bad news?
I’m starting this post with a disclaimer, and while it’s been a hell of a lot of days since I posted, disclaimers are only an occasional thing. Generally. So my return starts with a disclaimer.
Please enjoy this setup Tweet, and enjoy the foreshadowing:

Let’s start with the premise, and then I’ll fill in the details. Who is the best person to break bad news? Short version, it’s an ER doctor! Why??? Well, let’s get into that.
When in med school one of the thousands of papers we were assigned (I think it was my preventive medicine class but I cannot swear), one was about how to break bad news, and i...

How am I listening to breath sounds (and hearts) during the Covid-19 pandemic?
How am I listening to lungs in our Covid-19 isolation area? Thanks for asking!
I could use a disposable stethoscope, but there aren’t enough of them to go around. So what now?
Well, I was fortunate enough to find an answer when I went to Level 1 Scrubs in Fort Worth and was introduced to the Eko Duo. It’s a combination digital stethoscope and single lead EKG reader, it bluetooths to my iPhone through their app and it doesn’t need the traditional stethoscope earpiece. The free app allows recording sounds or ekg single leads should you be interested.
As you can see there’s a detachable traditional stethoscope earpiec...

The 12 STIs of Christmas
My yearly Christmas favorite, reposted:
Courtesy of the British National Health Service (click the banner):
NSFW. Funny, but Unsafe for work,unless your work involves STD’s in which case it’s required.
It’s my seasonal favorite post, and I hope it’s one of yours.
Not the STD’s, the funny song with equally amusing illustrations. The backstory, from a previous blog post:
I have seen several searches of this blog for the British National Health Services’ “12 STI’s of Christmas“, and wondered why. The answer: the NHS site no longer carries the wonderful show, for reasons unknown to me. A...

Another year. Seventeen so far.
This is depressing, and I know you’re not here to be depressed, you’re here because you already are, or you wouldn’t be checking a site that’s essentially never updated.
I liked blogging, then I worked at it, then it kinda died with new SocialMedia, and now I romanticize the Good Old Blogging Days the longer I’m active mostly on Twitter.
I keep this because I’m not bold enough to be a quitter, and because I may need to come back someday.
Thanks for being here.
