A Break from Health-Care Wonkery

Over on “Movin’ Meat,” an ER doctor living in the Pacific Northwest tells a true story titled “Where romance and medicine collide.”

 I suspect that many readers will view this tale as a welcome  respite from the details of health care legislation.  But I should warn that  some might find it in questionable taste. The opening should help you decide: 

“A patient was brought in around midnight as a ‘possible stroke.’ She was a sixty-something woman who had suddenly become unresponsive.  She and her husband had been making love at the time, and he noticed that she was no longer conscious.” [Good For Him!- mm]

Many thanks to the “Happy Hospitalist” for calling attention to this post

Hey, Shadowfax--

Good to hear from you. In recent months, I've become so absorbed in the legislation that I've lost touch with doctor/bloggers who are writing about what is happening to them out there.

Now, I have a chance to catch up.

Please e-mail me (mahar@tcf.org) when you see something or blog about something I & my
readers should know about--and/or would enjoy.

Cheers, Maggie

Thanks! As for the "questionable taste," true enough, but hey, it's the ER. We SPECIALIZE in things that aren't in good taste. Not my fault.

Cheers,
