Your Picture Next To “Guaiac” In The Dictionary?

Posted by Dun Tzu on the January 27th, 2010

Dude… not how I’d want to be remembered…

I was looking up “hemoccult stool” in Google Images for my next blog post, and this guy was on page 2.

Stool Humor - Melena Ball Gift Candies Smell Yummy

Posted by rsardonicus on the December 2nd, 2009

I mean… would you be offended?

Let’s say you bring in some candy to the office… I open up the nice, beautiful tin you brought it in, only to find this (see the picture below). So, I offer some to a friend… “Ed, would you like a melena ball?”

To your credit, though… they smell just fine… uh… certainly as fine as a melena ball could smell.

Walk It Off

Posted by Dun Tzu on the August 27th, 2009

If I ever tell a patient to “walk it off”, I’m very likely to be sued. However, if the Little League coach does it, it’s perfectly normal.

What’s worse… people are more compliant with the coach’s advice.

Admiral Ackbar Finally Weighs In On The Bristol Stool Chart

Posted by Dun Tzu on the May 23rd, 2009

In the midst of an emergency it is important to break things down for easy understanding. Instead of analyzing each morsel of minutiae… sometimes we just need to say it like it is. No pontificating… no lengthy sit-downs with medical journals… no procrasterbating about what to do or what it all means… Say it like it is and make a decision.

Healthcare bears many similarities to the Star Wars saga… and the proof is in the pudding (see Types 6 and 7 below).

GiggleMed.com finally caught up with Admiral Ackbar and asked him to give us his thoughts on the Bristol Stool Chart. And, well… He answered immediately… There was no constipation of thought.

Nor was there any diarrhea of words. He was succinct. He said only three.

Oh… and here’s the original “It’s a Trap!” Scene (but I’m not so sure he’s not saying, “It’s a Crap!”… Listen for yourself):

The Power of Glove

Posted by Dun Tzu on the March 7th, 2009

The power of gloves is a curious thing
Make one doc safe, and another nurse clean
Reduces risk from things you didn’t think of
More than policy, that’s the power of gloves

You don’t want MRSA, or C.diff
Don’t want fluids or a really big whiff
Takes time to wear ‘em. It’s annoying sometimes
But it might just save your life
That’s the power of gloves
That’s the power of gloves

(full audio coming soon… tons of medical humor songs)

MRI Reveals Source of Funny Voices

Posted by Dun Tzu on the November 4th, 2008

It is not often that an MRI is helpful in diagnosing or ruling out psychiatric illness, but this one sure does…

Who the heck let that other guy in the MRI machine?!

Who the heck let that other guy in the MRI machine?!

A patient comes into your office and complains of hearing voices. Before claiming it’s a hallucination, you better make sure no one is actually saying something to the patient. And if they are, for God’s sake, don’t let them follow the patient into the MRI scanner.

Intra-abdominal Ewok on CT

Posted by Dun Tzu on the October 29th, 2008

CT scan: Intra-abdominal ewok or panda?

CT scan: Intra-abdominal ewok or panda?

Is that a panda in your abdomen or are you just happy to see me?

Some people look and see it right away. Others have to stare at it for a while. Once you see it, it’s kinda cute… in a liver-on-your-head sort of way. This real CT reminds me of that ewok that had the bandage on his head in Return of the Jedi. Others think it looks like a panda.

If you see something else, post a comment below.

With Medical Humor, Nothing is Sacral

Posted by Dun Tzu on the October 23rd, 2008

Is this sacrum smiling (or straining)?

Is this sacrum smiling (or straining)?

Is nothing sacral anymore?… A laughing sacrum?

This image is a real slice from a patient’s CT scan. We first saw this image in the middle of a pretty hectic day. It made all of the doctors, nurse practitioners, and nurses crack up and brought the tone of a tough day back to earth.

If you have digital imaging at your hospital, you’ll see these things for sure. The spine, the pelvis, and the kidneys are great for uncovering funny facial expressions.

Of course, patient care first… but if you have any funny images, send them our way. (No patient identifying info, no copyrighted material, and we can do with it what we please - See our Terms for details.)
