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!

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...
