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
- Cranquis: Well, since you've been vomiting all food and liquids since this morning, Ralph, I'm going to have my nurse give you some Zofran and then we'll have you try some liquids in a little while.
- Ralph (30-something male patient): Oh, I have Zofran at home.
- Cranquis: Oh! So you're still vomiting, even after taking Zofran?
- Ralph: No, I didn't take any Zofran yet.
- Cranquis: Um... why not?
- Ralph: I thought it might interfere with something.
- Cranquis: Oh yes, it ~would~ have interfered -- with your ~VOMITING!~

It might have interfered with that syrup of Ipecac he had before breakfast. (But seriously, aren’t people always told never to take prescription meds without consulting a health pro? Unless the Rx said ‘take as needed for vomiting’!)

Really, man? Had to use my name in its derogatory form pertaining to puke just to protect yourself from HIPAA? Thought I was done hearing that in elementary school. ;-)
