Dr. Cranquis' Mumbled Gripes

I'm an American physician who works in an Urgent Care clinic. I see lots of stupid or funny things that people do with-and-to their health. I cope by mumbling under my breath (and then posting about it on this pseudonymous blog). Thought you might be interested.

(Disclaimer: Questions related to medical topics will be answered to the best of Dr. Cranquis' (and Google's) knowledge, but the internet-delivered wisdom on this blog CAN NOT AND SHOULD NOT SUBSTITUTE for your Real-Life Doctor's personal attention + examination, and your own common sense too! If you think you're having a medical emergency, hang up and go email 911. The author of this blog takes no responsibility for any medical, relationship, scholastic, financial, or other decisions you may make based on information found in this blog.)

And since people seem to be a bit confused about this: any "real-sounding" patients names are just horrible puns, and not HIPAA violations.

Blogs I Follow
Crack Research: Doctor cracks knuckles on only one hand for over 50 years, compares to non-cracked hand, finds no arthritis. →

I can’t believe I haven’t shared this story with you guys before! Talk about dedication to a cause (or perhaps, a deep-seated resentment towards some relative who wouldn’t let young Unger pop his phalanges)! Dr. Unger won the 2009 Ig Noble award in Medicine for this.

This article by Scientific American mentions other studies in the same area, and is quite loaded with puns too (Ooh, my favorite!)
