Tarzan M.D. weighs in on hand washing (and trunk washing).

Oh… and just FYI… If any of my residents ever grab my rear like that while we’re on rounds… Yep, you’re outta here (hand washing or not).

Is your hospital struggling with throughput? Patients in the hallway in the ER? Residents taking waaaay too long to come to admit patients? Medical attendings being difficult to reach? Or hospitalists fighting admissions?

Well, watch this hilarious Medicine vs ER Star Trek parody video by ZDoggMD. If you understand the jokes in it, you are a step ahead in understanding some of the unspoken truths of hospital throughput:

Before we needed healthcare reform… before Joint Commission (you know, the Good Ole Days)… before the FDA… before insurance companies… there was one physician to lead us through the healthcare jungle – Tarzan, M.D. (and soon to be introduced, Jane DO). In Episode 2, we find him offering smoking cessation advice. Those twigs kinda smell funny, give the patient the munchies, and do wonders for his glaucoma.

Before Joint Commission… before the FDA… before insurance companies… there was one physician to lead us through the healthcare jungle – Tarzan, M.D. Way ahead of his time, Dr. Tarzan’s descriptions of clinical findings were in the patients’ language. His instructions were persuasive. And his patients could eat all of the fat and red meat they wanted. (And in future episodes, when he meets Jane, D.O. we find a healthcare infrastructure in complete harmony – free of egos and politics.)

Can we do this with Foleys?

I sincerely believe that we can make education fun for patients and for medical professionals to improve learning and compliance. Nursing competencies, docs adhering to hospital policies, students retaining medical knowledge, and patients taking their meds… Let’s make all of that stuff fun. GiggleMed.com will be releasing an ultra-fun medical humor book about infection in the next couple of weeks.

If you have an idea to make learning new behaviors fun, check out Fun Theory… They have a contest open until December 15th.

Nurses, doctors, techs… really all of us in healthcare have had our late nights studying. In med school, it was not uncommon to string together a few all-nighters. I could see something like this emerging at the end of one of those strings…

Umm, yeah… I’ll have two anaphase… uh… one late prophase… and, oh! does the telophase count as one or two?

The original artwork comes from a 2005 photo series by Kevin Van Aelst. And for you quacks who didn’t study… this is a model of cellular mitosis.

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?

Some people knew what they wanted to be from the very beginning. And just like some people begin to look like their pets, we’ve run into a few doctors and healthcare die-hards who begin to look like their very own area of expertise.

Here’s number 2 in one of the newest medical humor series from GiggleMed.com – a series of doctor jokes and comics related to subspecialties… Doctors of Destiny :)

In the immortal words of Obi Wan Kenobi…

Of course, Old Ben never smoked… and you shouldn’t either.

(Master Yoda on the other hand…. I’m not so sure)

Here’s a link to All of the Doctors of Destiny Comics up ’til now

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…
