if i'm not mistaken, california has removed any physician involvement in executions. we are not asked to participate. also, i heard that the judge has now ok'd calif's death penalty protocol. i don't know the details.

i'll post this to bump "help me" off the headline. my new m-turbo is very powerful. i think the other manufacturers need to catch up, if they can. i'm using the us for detecting retinal detachments (if i can get any more patients). i tried it on myself: you can see the lens, retina and optic...

i'm interested. what are the prices?

i would get him to wean off morphine. he's just digging a hole he will eventually have to climb out of.

sorry, jackadeli, for the "change channels" remark. right now i need help. i am going crazy or this is happening. aryan brother hood has issued a death order for me. all white inmates are to attack me. i have been removed from all inmate contact. i have been warned to be careful when i...

bizarre: from Italian bizarro ca 1648 - "strikingly out of the ordinary" yes, i guess so. when i first came to work here, an officer said, "welcome to Disneyland." now, i know what he meant. which is bizarre, my use of the US, or my pts? maybe both? this is the "end of the line." my...

i was doing "family medicine" internship. it includes rotations (usually one month long each) in, for example, internal medicine, intensive care, emergency medicine, pediatrics. i saw a lot of interesting patients. unfortunately, having to work all night and staying in the hospital until noon...

yes, i'm still having fun. that guy with the untreated htn and funny looking heart came back to me the other day. he finally decided to take his bp meds. his bp is better, but his heart still looks huge on US. i will be doing more w/u on him. he has lost wt here in the SHU (security...

i received my new m-turbo from sonosite this week. it was definitely worth the money. the resolution and noise cancelling is much better than the mysono. i compared the two on an obese patient. the mysono was useless (white out) but structures were clear with the m-turbo. i have three probes...

thank you. when i was an intern in the US, i worked about 80 hours a week.

i ran across this story at the AIUM web site. i guess i'm not the only one fascinated by US. http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/10309963/

to my knowledge, no doctor has ever been stabbed. a doc, who has retired now, was kicked by an inmate who had a nail in the tip of his shoe. no serious damage was done. i wear a stab-proof vest. i have been threatened many times. that's part of the job.

no, i'm on salary. i do it because it's fun and i think it makes me a better doctor.

i got tired of dealing with the politics of the OR and joined the Calif. prison system as a GP back in 1997. in those days, the prisons would hire almost anyone with a license and a pulse, regardless of specialty training. :laugh: anyway, i learned GP by myself, reviewing books and relearning...

i'm semi-retired from anesthesia and now i do general practice. physical exam is of utmost importance. i think it is even more important than hx. however, all those subtle findings that some attendings rave about, like 3rd and 4th heart sounds, rubs, etc. aren't very reliable or even...
