Thoughts on Labor Day 2018

All work is honorable.   



Sometimes, when I ask a patient what his occupation is, the response begins with, ‘I’m just a…”.  I’ll have none of it.  There is no ‘just’.   Most of the people who keep this country afloat are anonymous folks who put in an honest and decent day’s work.  Some use a keyboard and others use a hammer.  Some use a shovel and others use a colonoscope.  Some arise when we are still asleep and others start work after we have retired.  Some use their hands with skill and precision and others offer professional advice.   Some design a building and others build it.   Some create and others consume.

But, why should these words matter here?  After all, I am just a blogger.

    Thanks, it is great post , I'm a 57-year-old man from New Jersey and I have come across your website completely by accident. I have suffered from acid reflux and Hiatal Hernia for more than a decade and was a Zentic and Tums junkie, yet the pain, especially at night or after a heavy meal, was sometimes so overwhelming I had to take painkillers in addition For more information click here https://bit.ly/2LIicdu

    Thanks, it is great post , I'm only 3 weeks into the Heartburn No More™ program and by following the principals in your book I am already experiencing significant relief in my acid reflux condition. I have been battling with acid reflux, food intolerance and leaky gut syndrome for 7 years and I am so thankful for the invaluable knowledge I have received from your book.

Becoming a Part-Time Physician

By
Next month my schedule will change.  I will henceforth be off on Fridays with my work week truncated to Monday through Thursday.   I am excited to be enjoying a long weekend every weekend.  And while the schedule change is relatively minor, this event does feel like an important career moment for me.  It is the first step on a journey that will ultimately lead beyond my professional career.  It is this recognition that makes this modest schedule modification more significant than one would think it deserves.  As some readers know,   my current employed position has been a dream job for me.   Prior to this, I was in a small private practice, which I loved, but was much more challenging professionally and personally.   My partner and I ran the business.   Working nights, weekends and holidays were routine for decades.   On an on-call night, if I slept  through until morning, I felt as if I had won the lottery.   And w...

When Should Doctors Retire?

By
I am asked with some regularity whether I am aiming to retire in the near term.  Years ago, I never received such inquiries.  Why now?   Might it be because my coiffure and goatee – although finely-manicured – has long entered the gray area?  Could it be because many other even younger physicians have given up their stethoscopes for lives of leisure? (Hopefully, my inquiring patients are not suspecting me of professional performance lapses!) Interestingly, a nurse in my office recently approached me and asked me sotto voce that she heard I was retiring.    “Interesting,” I remarked.   Since I was unaware of this retirement news, I asked her when would be my last day at work.   I have no idea where this erroneous rumor originated from.   I requested that my nurse-friend contact her flawed intel source and set him or her straight.   Retirement might seem tempting to me as I have so many other interests.   Indeed, reading and ...

A Patient's Loyalty to his Doctor

By
 A few days before preparing this post, I greeted a patient who was about to undergo her 5 th colonoscopy.  I was the pilot for the 4 prior excursions.   “You should’ve signed up for the rewards program,” I quipped.  “This one would’ve been free!”  Our patients, with rare exceptions, enjoy our light atmosphere seasoned with some humor.  This does not detract from our seriousness of purpose and commitment to their welfare, and they know it.  Our endoscopy team is comprised of outstanding medical professionals. I care for many patients for whom I have performed all of their colonoscopies, which may exceed 10 procedures.   I recently performed an examination on one of my colitis patients who has unique findings which have remained stable for years.   I know his colon as well as I know his face!   Indeed, if I were shown a photo of his colon, I would immediately be able to name the individual.   So, when we gastroenterologists c...
