Whistleblower Holiday Cheer 2024!



 

‘Twas the night before Christmas

Through the Senate and House,

GOP creatures were squeaking

Like Mike Johnson – the mouse!

 

We survived an election,

With vodka and gin

No litigation needed

When Trump gets a win!

 

The polls once again,

Missed the mark by a mile

GOP won it bigly

In Trumpissistic style!

 

How did he do it?

Such sleight of hand,

Bringing millions of folks

Under his command.

 

This sorcerer king,

Thinks politics is sport

Promised us everything

But will come up short.

 

He’s daring and reckless

He’ll take a chance

Reached into MAGA

Pulled out JD Vance!


Deport the illegals!

Not few but many

Let’s start with the worst,

That traitor Liz Cheney!

 

Half the country is angry

And sullen and sad.

At the end of his term

Will he drive us all mad?

 

How could he win?

How could she lose?

Trump had the mojo

And lit the fuse.

 

She won the debate,

And showed us the joy

But in the end

She was Trump’s little toy.

 

When folks are all struggling,

With less legal tender

Will their votes be swayed,

By pronouns and gender?

 

Trump crushed the election

He made a killing

Folks wouldn’t buy

What Harris was selling. 


King Donald enthroned

Feted by royalists

The White House is packed

With ring-kissing loyalists.

 

Will the DEMS learn a lesson,

Will they think and reflect

Or will they instead,

Dodge and deflect?

 

We’ll all cross the river

We’ll reach the shore,

Democracy will survive

2024!

Becoming a Part-Time Physician

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?

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

 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...
