“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

    Chaucer Comes for the Archbishop and Decks Him One

    You may or may not be familiar with the latest brouhaha regarding the Archbishop of Canterbury and his silly remarks re: introducing Sharia law to England. If not, try going here, or here to read Ruth Gledhill's response. His remarks have created a hue and cry all over the Anglican world, but the best by far has been Iowahawk's take on the matter. Not only is it a sharp piece of commentary, it's a brilliant parody of Chaucer. Goeth and readeth itte.

    T-Shirt of the Day


    I saw a patient with back pain today for follow up. He requested a narcotics refill, which I felt was warranted and which I gave him. What cracked me up, though, was his T-shirt displaying the following slogan:

    I'M PROBABLY LYING.

    I considered thanking him for being upfront about it, but chickened out. Seriously, is that the message you want to convey when you go to see your MD?
