Can a person exist on cold pizza and coffee? (I sure as hell hope so)

If a clinic patient pulls a groin muscle is it wrong to tell them they should exercise it more? (But how could something that feels so right be wrong?)

Does anyone actually read the paperwork we do? (And by 'we' I mean other doctors and occasionally-rarely myself. Another way

Q&A

Q:Can a person exist on cold pizza and coffee?
A: Yes, I've seen doctors (and interns especially) do it all the time.

Q:If a clinic patient pulls a groin muscle is it wrong to tell them they should exercise it more?
A: Dude, the Clinic sucks. The ER can take it any day. I find it wrong for you to have to work there initially.

Q:Does anyone actually read the paperwork we do?
A: I'm an EMT, so ER physicians have to read mine all the time (though it's mostly oral reports- how kinky), but for you silly doctors... I shrug in your general direction.

1) I've become my own field test on the matter. This is not a shock.

2) No way in Hell. Clinic kicks ass. We handle the real stupid stuff. And, as it's rarely life-or-death, we get to laugh at the patients while we're treating them.

3)There are lots of responses to this. But, I'm gonna go with my favorite.

Rowr.

Oh, it's war, kiddo. The ER's where the macho people dwell. You're all sissies with your little bouts of humor and lack of endurance. The ER ownz your Clicical rear.

:D

You've got to be kidding.

Hah. Hah. Uh-uh. Don't even mess, 'kiddo.' You're aiming for an ass-whupping.

The clinic is for the cool kids. ER is for God-complexes and those who need to over compensate. :P

(Macho my ass)
