Test Your Knowledge of COVID-19

Many of us have sought distractions from the rising fears and frustrations of the pandemic. Why do you think it’s nearly impossible to buy a jigsaw puzzle now? They are all on back order as the supply cannot meet the demand. Board games are also more popular than ever. Even I've competed in a few rounds of Boggle. And binge-watching various television series has become a welcome oasis from the surrounding chaos.

Jigsaw Puzzles - Endangered Species

As a medical professional and an ordinary person, I am well aware of the health and economic horrors that the virus has wrought. Yes, the upcoming vaccines represent a monumental scientific triumph, but there will be many dark months before they are widely available.

In this posting, permit me to offer readers a lighter look at COVID-19 to provide a few minutes of deserved distraction.

Here’s a COVID-19 quiz to test how current and accurate your knowledge is.

True or False

Anthony Fauci, MD is obsessed with masks. He really needs to lighten up.

Deborah Birx’s scarves are soaked in bleach to repel coronavirus which is how she has escaped infection..

Donald Trump, a true statesman, attacked the pandemic without any political considerations.

Scientists predict a decline in viral infections in northern U.S. states in the next 2 months as the snowbird virus hates the cold.

Just like the ‘flu shot’, it is possible that the upcoming vaccines can actually cause COVID-19.

Choose the BEST answer.

Which of the following is the most effective method for avoiding coronavirus infection?

Using Lysol as a food additive.

Avoiding Chinese food.

Wearing a mask that fits snugly over your mouth and nostrils.

Joining an aerobics class since the vigorous kinetic activity will shake off any virus that lands on you.

Leaving the bar by 10:00 sharp which is an hour before the virus awakens.

Our best hope for defeating this virus is:

President Trump reversing the election and continuing his leadership for another 4 years.

Having bleach brownies with a Clorox chaser every evening.

Prohibiting masks which many people say might be making the pandemic worse.

President-elect Joe Biden.

Having friends and family from near and far come together during the upcoming holidays. The virus will respect our resolve and then fade away.

I hope that you performed well on this academic challenge. Want some extra credit? Wear a mask and keep a proper distance between you and others and I’m prepared to raise your score by a full letter grade.

Why Most Doctors Choose Employment

Increasingly, physicians today are employed and most of them willingly so. The advantages of this employment model, which I will highlight below, appeal to the current and emerging generations of physicians and medical professionals. In addition, the alternatives to direct employment are scarce, although they do exist. Private practice gastroenterology practices in Cleveland, for example, are increasingly rare sightings. Another practice model is gaining ground rapidly on the medical landscape. Private equity (PE) firms have been purchasing medical practices who are in need of capital and management oversight. PE can provide services efficiently as they may be serving multiple practices and have economies of scale. While these physicians technically have authority over all medical decisions, the PE partners can exert behavioral influences on physicians which can be ethically problematic. For example, if the PE folks reduce non-medical overhead, this may very directly affe

Should Doctors Wear White Coats?

Many professions can be easily identified by their uniforms or state of dress. Consider how easy it is for us to identify a policeman, a judge, a baseball player, a housekeeper, a chef, or a soldier. There must be a reason why so many professions require a uniform. Presumably, it is to create team spirit among colleagues and to communicate a message to the clientele. It certainly doesn’t enhance professional performance. For instance, do we think if a judge ditches the robe and is wearing jeans and a T-shirt, that he or she cannot issue sage rulings? If members of a baseball team showed up dressed in comfortable street clothes, would they commit more errors or achieve fewer hits? The medical profession for most of its existence has had its own uniform. Male doctors donned a shirt and tie and all doctors wore the iconic white coat. The stated reason was that this created an aura of professionalism that inspired confidence in patients and their families. Indeed, even today

Electronic Medical Records vs Physicians: Not a Fair Fight!

Each work day, I enter the chamber of horrors also known as the electronic medical record (EMR). I’ve endured several versions of this torture over the years, monstrosities that were designed more to appeal to the needs of billers and coders than physicians. Make sense? I will admit that my current EMR, called Epic, is more physician-friendly than prior competitors, but it remains a formidable adversary. And it’s not a fair fight. You might be a great chess player, but odds are that you will not vanquish a computer adversary armed with artificial intelligence. I have a competitive advantage over many other physician contestants in the battle of Man vs Machine. I can type well and can do so while maintaining eye contact with the patient. You must think I am a magician or a savant. While this may be true, the birth of my advanced digital skills started decades ago. (As an aside, digital competence is essential for gastroenterologists.) During college, I worked as a secretary
