Whistleblower Holiday Cheer 2023!

‘Twas the night before Christmas

And all through the night,

Biden's pet puppies

Were ready to bite!

 

The Dems will run Biden

GOP will have Trump

While most of the nation

Want both of them dumped!

 

Biden's their man.

The race is but done,

Yet most of his party

Don’t want him to run.


Biden is fit!

His mind is so keen,

Part of his charm?

His gaffe-making machine!

  

Trump is in charge.

His nomination can’t fail.

But will he be running

From a federal jail?

  

The country’s divided

Will this be our fate?

Who needs peace and love

When we’re nourished by hate?

 

McCarthy was in.

McCarthy was out.

Santos was in.

Now Santos is out!

 

With a few civil trials,

And 91 counts

Trump's polling goes up

And his legal bills mount.

 

The best news for Trump

That fits well with his style

Was the political gift

Of criminal trials!

 

GOP in the House

In search of a speaker,

Thumbs down on Jim Jordan

A microphone seeker.

 

So now we have Johnson

Running the House

Who’s ever heard

Of this mild mannered mouse?

 

Johnson's soft spoken 

Who speaks often of God,

In the GOP’s version

Of a Republican ‘squad’

 

The Middle East is on fire,

And Ukraine is still fighting.

We should all be grateful

To President Biden.


The Colorado Supremes

Bar Trump from Election

He engaged and incited

The insurrection.


Of course, Trump delays,

He will always appeal

Is this what he meant

By The Art of the Deal.

 

So let’s pray for peace

Not more of the same,

 Life need not be

A zero sum game.


Wishing Everyone Joy and Peace!

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 ...

The VIP Syndrome Threatens Doctors' Health

By
Over the years, I have treated various medical professionals from physicians to nurses to veterinarians to optometrists and to occasional medical residents in training. Are these folks different from other patients?  Are there specific challenges treating folks who have a deep knowledge of the medical profession?   Are their unique risks to be wary of when the patient is a medical professional? First, it’s still a running joke in the profession that if a medical student develops an ordinary symptom, then he worries that he has a horrible disease.  This is because the student’s experience in the hospital and the required reading are predominantly devoted to serious illnesses.  So, if the student develops some constipation, for example, he may fear that he has a bowel blockage, similar to one of his patients on the ward.. More experienced medical professionals may also bring above average anxiety to the office visit.  Physicians, after all, are members of...

Inpatient vs Outpatient Care;: Can Doctors Do Both?

By
Five years ago, I left hospital wards and emergency rooms behind and entered a new & improved medical practice model, at least for me.  Since then, I only see patients for office consultations and procedures.  Office medicine is a very different trade than hospital practice each having very distinct skill sets.  If I were to return to the hospital now to see patients, it would be uncomfortable for me (and them) having not used these skills for years.  Similarly, hospital-based doctors might find transitioning to an office practice to be clumsy and uncomfortable. While it might seem that a gastroenterologist or any medical specialist should be able to see patients in any location, this is not the case for most of us.   Hospital medical issues are quite different from office medical complaints.   Physicians, as in so many other occupations, need repetition in order to maintain high competency levels.   There’s a reason, for example, that airline pi...
