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 ...

Stop Medical Malpractice: The White Coat Wall of Silence

By
Photo Credit Leisure Guy, one of my most faithful commenters, opines that I am omitting an important aspect of the tort reform argument. He has implored me repeatedly to read a particular book that I suspect buttresses his views, but this worthy pursuit is simply not near the top of my priority pyramid. Since he’s retired, he enjoys the luxury of burrowing deeply into the base of his priority pyramid. With 4 tuitions to go, retirement is a distant mirage for me. I’m can be a ‘leisure guy’, but only in my dreams. I have written throughout this blog and elsewhere that there are too many frivolous lawsuits against physicians. I have admitted that caps on non-economic damages are not ideal, because they deny some worthy plaintiffs of complete compensation, but I support them because I believe they serve the greater good. I have ranted that there is no effective filter to screen out physicians who should never be invited to the litigation party in the first place. I believe that the...

Prostate Cancer Screening: Stop The PSA Train!

By
About 10 years ago, my dad was to see his general internist. I have always refrained from giving medical advice to my family, for all of the reasons why doctors should not treat or advise their relatives. But, on this occasion, I did give Dad some unsolicited advice, particularly as I knew that his physician fired the diagnostic testing trigger readily. “Dad, please make sure that he doesn’t check the PSA (prostate specific antigen) test.” Dad indicated that he would convey my concern to his doctor, who ran the test on him anyway. Apparently, he includes the PSA test as a matter of routine on all men over a certain age. Twenty-five years ago as a curious, but skeptical medical student, I learned about prostate cancer. I learned that every man will develop it if he lives long enough. I learned that most cases of prostate cancer remain silent and never interfere with the individual’s life. I learned that the treatment for these cancers involves either major surgery or radiation, both of ...
