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

  1. 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.

  2. 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
