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.
Sure… call me strange… but when I was perusing the latest issue of ACP Hospitalist, I came across a photo from a recent IDSA Conference.
IDSA (Infectious Disease Society of America), of course, is a well-respected organization of healthcare professionals devoted to patient care, education, research, public health, and prevention relating to infectious diseases.
Well, I wondered as I looked at the audience in this photo…
What’s up with all of the baldness and receding hairlines in the ID crowd?
(Not that there’s anything wrong with that…)
PS – I blurred out the faces because nothing screams “LAWSUIT!” more than bunch of angry, bald doctors.
Doctors’ handwriting is no laughing matter.
Being a doctor myself, I decided to take healthcare reform into my own hands. Here is step number one… a handwriting course for physicians.
By the way, try to ignore the subliminal messages embedded in this workbook. Those darn administrators and Joint Commissioners always slip stuff in there… don’t they?

Pharmaceutical lunches aren’t just about the doctors and the reps… What about everyone else in the periphery?… the food stores… the squishy toy makers…
And these guys?…
Who’s looking out for them? Huh? When is their bailout coming?
Some people eat, sleep, and drink medicine… eat, sleep, and drink nursing… eat, sleep, and drink surgery… or whatever their healthcare field is. They seemed to know what they wanted from the very beginning.
And these people can stress you out quite a bit. If you’re about to start your internship and you are still undecided about your future… or if you’re a nurse about to finish your clinicals and enter the work force… these Obi-Wan Kenobi types can be pretty annoying. (Gotta squeeze some Star Wars references in there… how could I not?… destiny?… Star Wars day?… anyway, click the audio and think of Good ‘ol Ben).
It would be nice if we could know who these people were before they even said a word… Introducing a new medical humor series from GiggleMed.com – a series of doctor jokes and comics related to subspecialty… Doctors of Destiny :)
Push it one more time… you know you want to…

This video is a little predictable, but funny nonetheless. The bedside manner and the hair cut (or lack of one) add to the humor. But, it’s also a tad disturbing in that this guy doesn’t wash his hands.
This short, one-minute long, funny video parodies that internal competitive streak found among all of the healthcare professions. Doctors, nurses, respiratory therapists, OR techs, house staff, and EMTs all have this phenomenon of “one-upmanship” when telling stories. Whether it is telling funny stories or recounting the events of a code or bragging about accomplishments, there’s always someone with something a little funnier, a little more disgusting, or a little more alarming. Check out this comical video:
