Open up and say RAWR!!

I am just a bear living in the frozen tundra of the midwest. I also play Doctor in the Emergency Department from time to time. This blog is not meant for people under the age of 18 since material discussed here may be of an adult or graphic nature and you may see things that will require therapy.

This is a common scene at our house with both Buddy and Dexter.

SRT Track Experience: Head to Head Challenge (by CJBeltowski)

KJ driving a 2012 Dodge Challenger SRT8 in a Head to Head challenger against another Challenger SRT8 at the Las Vegas Motor Speedway during the SRT Track Experience.

This was really fun.

Way to bring the party down Doc. (j/k)

Actually, I think it would be a blast to have a foul-tempered attitude like House. That is what I am planning on doing my last day of work before retirement. Be kind to the patients who need me and a honest jerk to those who are wasting my time.

I would have a different personality as a physician. I would love to be able to have a Dr. Gregory House persona that I could use for certain patients. Some of my patients are truely sick and I need to spend a lot of my time with them. Others are there because they just couldn’t wait 3 hours for their doctor’s appointment later that day and they don’t have a big copay thanks to state Medicaid. I have to coddle some people and explain it to them in 2 or 3 different ways that they are not going to die and they don’t need their MRI right now. I also have to argue with them why I am not refilling their oxycodone despite the fact they got a month’s worth filled from their primary care physician last week. I would love to be able to tell them what I really think of their use of emergency services.

Alas, that will ultimately have negative effects on patient satisfaction. The complaint letters will come and then I have to spend more time explaining to administration why I did what I did and hence take even more time away from patient care. Because of that, I just die inside and in a calm professional manner explain it to people like they are my only patient in the department…despite the person dying down the hall….
