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.

Blogs I Follow
There’s so much information (as well as misinformation) in medicine — and, yes, a lot of it can be Googled — that one major responsibility of an expert is to know what to ignore.
Great article about an orthopedist’s over-informed patient, and the way that doctors have to adjust their communication styles for “Googlers”.

This is all too true. Google and sites like WebMD, while somewhat informative, are the bane of many healthcare...

Nurses make good patients because they are used to trusting doctors? Er, the nurses I’ve known over the years give me the impression that it might be more accurate to say they’re used to listening to doctors, and not arguing with them overmuch.
