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.

Sci fi medicine?

Have you heard or read about Dr David Loftus’ NASA biocapsule? Search it up. That thing is insane.

WOW. So cool! At first I thought it was just a glorified “implanted medical-data recording chip” — but it dispenses medications as needed. And is cheap to produce. And could be used for many MANY different medical conditions. Heck yeah SCIENCE.

Note to self: Consider getting diabetes, in order to have reason to use this device?

Further note to self: Ignore above, that’s stupid.
