I take my cue from my maternal grandfather, a doctor. About 30 years ago, when he'd been a doc for about 50 years, I asked him for the "secret" of long life. He said, "Stay away from doctors, and stay away from hospitals." The Reader's digest version is that there's too much enthusiasm for surgery, to many mistakes that can be made even if that's the correct path (including drug mistakes), and too many opportunistic and drug-resistant bugs. His advice was to eat right, get enough sleep and exercise moderately and consistently - and you should get to about age 85-90 barring an accident or bad genetics. Still, he said, "if your bone is sticking out of your leg, go to a hospital."<br /><br />Your latest escapade was a bit north of the leg, but I'm glad you got dragged into that infernal place.<br /><br />Long live the King!

Having been doing this medical gig for a while as a PAC, I've seen Pericarditis look like everything from Acute MI to indigestion with nausea and vomiting. <br /><br />Its a tough diagnosis, and with a diabetic, I'd lean more to the "lets see what might kill you right now" than anything. <br /><br />Spontaneous Pneumo feels exactly the same, according to my one patient who has had both. She was sure the second episode was a repeat of the first SP, so much that she waited 48 hours before coming in because the first SP was very small and resolved on its own over 2 weeks of watchful waiting. <br /><br />I wouldn't have gone all NTG on someone without more evidence than was available, but in todays world of litigation, I can see why she got all batty about it. <br /><br />I can't begin to tell you how many patients have tried to blow their cardiac symptoms off as something else, either. <br /><br />One guy rode a motorcycle 300 miles, stopped in my ER, was having an MI with elevated Troponins and obvious STEMI and still walked out, rode his bike home, and had his wife bring him back. Another, a farmer, showed up with a 2 day history of chest pain with activity, had an abnormal EKG, and walked out, saying he'd be back when harvest was over. He came back two weeks later, had a 4 vessel CABG and still farms, 12 years later!<br /><br />Just because the patient MIGHT be right, doesn't mean you won't get sued if he isn't!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22957834.post-38231120660979855322012-05-29T10:30:56.647-05:002012-05-29T10:30:56.647-05:00"Pretty please with a curvaceous red head on ..."Pretty please with a curvaceous red head on top?"<br /><br />Lol!

As you can tell from the other comments, there are quite a few of us who enjoy your, um, colorful essays. <br /><br />Second, I can relate to the relief of finally getting a correct diagnosis. After three(!) prostate biopsies by a urologist convinced he had to excise mine to save my life, I found another who actually took a look up there and found a kidney stone that had been causing all the PSA excitement. So when you are feeling put upon about your misdiagnosis, just read what is done during a prostate biopsy and think of me on my hands and knees asking the doctor if I will ever play the violin again. And as Forrest Gump says, that's all I have to say about that.<br /><br />Get well and continue to regale us with tales of the moderately disgruntled.Nashville Beathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03946662890622040279noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22957834.post-55093532647115796862012-05-26T14:40:04.389-05:002012-05-26T14:40:04.389-05:00I am glad there has been some progress in finding ...I am glad there has been some progress in finding what ails you.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22957834.post-46374949540016911582012-05-26T13:55:34.465-05:002012-05-26T13:55:34.465-05:00Dawg -

It is frequently the un-diagnosed underlying source of many of the maladies (among others) that you seem to be dealing with of late. I discovered I had it a couple of years ago. Explained <b>a lot</b> about earlier maladies.<br /><br />Here's the URL for an interesting article regarding JFK and many of his health issues and the possibility they were Celiac related. http://hnn.us/articles/1125.htmlStevenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22957834.post-32894350943032556552012-05-26T12:10:30.632-05:002012-05-26T12:10:30.632-05:00Dog - I don't often comment but, as we're ...Dog - I don't often comment but, as we're the same age (if not gender) and having been in the same career as you (got out due to county politics) and having recently been diagnosed with diabetes, I feel I must say this....<br /><br />Wise up and listen to the cardioguy.

In 2009, the FDA approved colchicine for gout flares, awarding Colcrys a three-year term of market exclusivity, prohibiting generic sales, and increasing the price of the drug from $0.09 to $4.85 per tablet. This subsidized privatization of publicly owned intellectual property is part of a broader trend toward theft from the public domain.[23][24][25]<br /><br />OUCH! does your county ins cover this?Willhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00722792638246578812noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22957834.post-14526619342314751662012-05-25T20:40:57.593-05:002012-05-25T20:40:57.593-05:00You are hysterical all the fricken time.
