Feet First

“It is much more important to know what sort of a patient has a disease than what sort of a disease a patient has.” - Sir William Osler

    Friday Stuff

    I have a little surfing itinerary for you. You can enjoy it anytime this weekend.

    First, surf over to Dave Barry's weblog to read his evil plan to vandalize - actually, to improve - the website poetry.com. Then, go to poetry.com and view the submissions (you can search for "Freemont" either as a first name or a last name; some entries used it as a last name). All poems must contain the phrase "the dog ate mother's toes." If you are so inclined, you can contribute one yourself.

    Now, for part two, check out the advice column at Achewood. Frankly, I don't understand Achewood myself, but quite a few people seem to like it; even I, however, love Ray's advice column. It's hilarious. In a pathetic attempt to tie this post to a medical theme, I direct you to the letter third down in the most recent column. It's about the Atkins diet and contains the best definition of gout I have ever seen: The gout is a disease that pirates got from not eating "carbs." Oh, and he says the Atkins diet is a bad idea. Thank you, Ray!

    Enjoy your weekend. That is all.
