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
TELOMERES AND ANTI-AGING RESEARCH The back story behind my question is here: http://pensive-reverie.tumblr.com/post/14157552810/telomeres-telomerase-and-cancer It’s a short read, and with your medical knowledge, the link is irrelevant. I simply wanted your input concerning Product B, obvious flaws and unanswered questions that would point to this being a scam, real telomere research in its current state, and future research concerning longevity and aging. I only just discovered your blog, and it has been a wealth of information. I’m a 3rd year Pre-Med (Biology) undergrad at Georgia Tech, and you’ve only fostered my desire to be a doctor. Thank you for all that you do, as a doctor and a blogger. You’re a gentleman and a scholar.  Um, let me start by saying, thanks for reading and thanks for your kind words! That being said: Uh, what the heck? There is nothing “simple” about your request for input — it made my temporal lobes hurt, just trying to read through your question, let alone trying to stagger through all the science in the Scientific American article your original post appears to be referring to. Dude, I haven’t had to use ANY of that type of scientific knowledge since my Step 1 board exams in med school!  *Oh no, here come the board exam flashbacks! THE BELL! THE BELL!!! GET TO THE CHOPPAH!!!*  So, yeah. I’ve got nothing. Nothing about flaws in this “Product B” that you keep mentioning (but which I couldn’t find mentioned in the linked article), nothing about the current state of telomere research (real or otherwise), nothing abuot future research on nada. Sorry. I have failed you. Gotta go commit seppuku now. ***Pending Cranquis-Mails: 4; Inbox: Closed***
