La Jolla

You know, for years we have waited for someone to come and anxiety if, to some extent by the accumulation of the Giza pyramid-companies medical goof-ups, and gather in an informal conversation. Is particularly cold, we thought, was a doctor chosen to shine a flashlight into corners of the profession of their own. They take pride in law enforcement. There is a false medical clarification is decades overdue. Therefore, tend to ourselves daily tasks in the care of the disease and hope. We responded to 12,221 emergency calls, and wait a little longer. And you know what? Not so.

And so we begin to wonder who else could do this project justice, but the doctors themselves? Well, the nurses could indeed. Nobody on the planet God knows, has a clearer vision the madness that inner sanctum to make these talented professionals. There are nurses, after all, they were insulted and assaulted, spat upon, ignored, denigrated, groping and more, all on a daily basis.

So much so that in the halls of medicine kidnapped (and not a court brief) a shameful statement now resonates walls. This is called "medical harm" attitude that embraces a wide range of child support, like the sixth grader who has a tendency to say, throwing objects in class and generally not play well with others. In 2000, the academic world is full of studies detailing the undeniable link between nurses working in the profession, a physician and weaknesses. The impact on patient outcomes is ugly and obvious.

However, even the nurses who prefer to protect their livelihoods, have always chosen to remain relatively silent about the absurdities that often endure. To be sure, a number of exceptions were large written in recent years. However, the circus continues physicians screw-ups and shit-boo boos rolls merrily along every day, Is not it, ridiculously under-published.

And I always wondered why. Why not a pharmacist, exasperated by an order scrawled migraine has not yet taken the pen. Why not panicked physiotherapist, or technology, phlebotomist, director for X-ray, perfusionist, or never ordered roar, For the love of God, enough! "And cleared the air. Going Postal? What would you say to someone" Doctor "at the fair challenge once?

As it exists, we now know, whole armies of health experts with horror stories of their hackles up, but it could hardly guess for visiting the library.

Or watch network news.

So, after 25 years, with our personal cell funny little notes a bulky briefcase covered with dust, who was born last. Very Good, then maybe it costs us. However, the torch was ours to bear. A caregiver only I would. We, the blue bandits, rogues, rescue characters from the entire scheme of the advanced medicine that run outside, opposite the water's edge in the air cool clarity.

It does, in the end everything makes sense. Who's most advanced emergency treatment orchestra hospital staff is not a singular, but dozens? Who else is happening at accident scenes every time you find a doctor astonished passers-by with literally no idea what to do absence of X-rays, laboratory and nursing staff to organize the plan of treatment? Who else in our excellent team of 24 hours is likely to be about everything, Bonehead moves witnessed by physicians, at any time of day?

And he just went, from our point of view unequivocally unprecedented The three points now should be etched in stone Rushmore medicine:

1. Many of the primates most beautiful of our country has lab coats, and we owe a immense debt of gratitude.
2. Many of the wackiest companions graduated from medical school itself.
3. Some of the confusion in society Write MD after his name.

So surely there. Do not become another statistic medical Maniac. Discover new medical care. The Internet is a modern miracle.
