Drug Pusher

Drug Pusher

From the blog:

The science and art of surviving admits, poor staffing, indifferent management, sick patients, irate families, unrealistic expectations and stressed out co-workers – night after endless night.

That’s right. I’m not a “male nurse”. I’m a nurse.  When there is no “female nurse”, why should there be a “male nurse”? (I frequently answer the question “What made you decide to be a male nurse?” with the response “When I found out the prohibitive medical costs required through surgery to transform myself into a female nurse.”)

Medicine and Other Stuff

Medicine and Other Stuff by Medblog Goddess.

From the blog:

I’m a mom of two, OB-Gyn, and wife; not necessarily in that order. I love Harry Potter, reading, playing my piano, cooking, and causing trouble. I am a liberal lost in middle America, where people still worship GWB. My liberalism, however, smacks up against the realization that many people are happy to take advantage of it. I hope that people reading this will see something of use in my musings. They may even see docs as humans (gasp).

This blog will touch a little upon parenting, upon cool stuff I’ve seen in my career (all HIPAA ok), upon weird thoughts wandering through my head.

From the blog:

Random thoughts from a few cantankerous American physicians. All contributors are board certified. Various specialties are represented here. I do not know where this will lead but hope it will at least be an enjoyable read. All of the names mentioned in this blog are pseudonyms, the ages have been changed, and in half the cases the gender as well. All photographs are published with patient consent or are digitally altered to preserve anonymity. Trust us, we’re doctors.

The Hampster Wheel

The Hampster Wheel – Eccentrecities of a Surgical Resident

From the blog:

 I currently reside in New Orleans, spending an alarming amount of my waking hours training in general and vascular surgery. The rest of my time is devoted to my wife Nathalie.

(And with God’s grace, we survived Hurricanes Katrina and Rita.)

From the blog:

I finished my Emergency Medicine residency in June of 2006, and have been working in a smallish, single-coverage (only doctor there) emergency department ever since.  I have been inspired by my friend Hallway Four and the many other blogging ER docs I have found through her site to begin a blog of my own. 

I am not half the writer or thinker that these folks are, but for you I hope to relay some interesting stories, and for me I hope this becomes both educational and therapeutic.

From the blog:

If the public only knew. . . what went on behind the scenes in the ER.  If the public only knew what goes on in our minds.

I am a new emergency medicine attending. (And now that I have time) a Mommy, a wife, a budding photographer, a part-time dog trainer, a vegetarian chef…

Suture for a Living

Suture for a Living  (RL Bates)

Description from the blog:

I am a plastic surgeon in Little Rock, AR. I may “suture for a living”, but I “live to sew”. When I can, I sew. These days most of my sewing is piecing quilts. I love the patterns and interplay of the fabric color. I would like to explore writing about medical/surgical topics as well as sewing/quilting topics. I will do my best to make sure both are represented accurately as I share with both colleagues and the general public.

I am married to a wonderful man. We were not blessed with children, but have many nieces & nephews. We have two chocolate labradors, Girlfriend & Rusty, who are my “personal trainers”.
