How Doctors Die

[JLM]

And at times the program does it for us.

How about shot by a jealous husband when caught screwing a patient? :lol:

That's easy for you to say (in whatever language it's in).

Interesting.
Around here, and in other rural areas, there are shortages of doctors. So should we expect doctors not to retire? For as they swear an oath not to do harm, removing themselves from doctoring causes harm indirectly. And not seeking out the best treatments doctors can get to combat their own ailments, indirectly does the same thing.

Rural is not the only area with shortage, even in the cities if you don't already have a family doctor, good luck finding one. You end up relegated to walk-in clinics, and I've always been leery of those. Continuity of care should be an important part of healthcare, and I just don't see how one gets that in the clinics.

But the whole point of the article/op ed piece was that "the best treatments" are not always necessarily the best treatments. Just because we can do a thing, does it necessarily follow that we should be doing it?

Work on the following:

Typing skills
Language skills
Thinking skills

Not necessarily in that order.

We normally use words here.

Some more coherently than others.

Sometimes we also use ****.

Also, some more coherently than others.

How bored does one need to be in order to take the time to register for membership, find a thread and post that in it? Moderately or very?

Unless one is lucky enough to get the same doc every time at the walk-in. Which is fairly easy in small communities.

Nope.

Apparently the process is too much for some. lol

Less likely in the cities, unfortunately. I have a GP and I'm hanging on for dear life.

Good grief, how far gone do you have to be if registering on an internet forum renders you completely incapable of communication!

Well my hubby and I have signed papers for no resuscitation and no machines, just medication to relieve pain if needed. It also includes if one of us ends up in the hospital and they put us on machines before the other arrives, the other has our request to disconnect.
