ERKA Stethoscope Review: It’s Really Good!

Mon, 17 Jul 2017 12:26:39 +0000

What’s an ERKA stehoscope? It’s a beautiful, well made ‘scope from Germany, and ERKA is trying to get into the US market. Full disclosure: I was given one to try out and keep on the condition I would write about my experience, and no promises were made about what I’d say. Also, it should be […]

GruntDoc’s Blog Birthday!

Tue, 02 May 2017 20:01:17 +0000

15 years! That’s more than 2/loyal reader (thanks, you seven!) May 2, 2002, a day that will live…on the internet, if nowhere else. Yes I’ve moved almost exclusively to Twitter, but the blog proved its worth earlier this year, so I’m obviously going to keep it up, and post here when I need to.   […]

Geriatric Nursing’s top 99 nurse blogs, and I’m one of them!

Sun, 09 Apr 2017 16:38:21 +0000

The whole list is here, and it looks pretty good (Emergiblog is still out there, which is nice, most of the others were new to me), and then there’s the writeup they gave this humble blog: Allen is an emergency care physician from Texas who describes himself as “a grunt in the doctor world”. Having […]

The Rape of Emergency Medicine, 2017 version

Mon, 02 Jan 2017 18:39:21 +0000

Summa Health, an Ohio Hospital system, recently changed ED contracts from their 40 year group to a new one. On FOUR DAYS’ NOTICE! Four days, over the Christmas/New Year’s Holiday. That sounds distinctly unsafe, beyond the gross lack of sense, or commitment to a 40 year partner. In case you think this is going smoothly, […]

I missed posting this last year! ( The mobile version! ). My yearly Christmas favorite, reposted: Courtesy of the British National Health Service (click the banner): NSFW. Funny, but Unsafe for work,unless your work involves STD’s in which case it’s required. It’s my seasonal favorite post, and I hope it’s one of yours. Not the […]

Pearl Harbor 75th Anniversary

December 7, 1941. 75 years ago. If you meet a Pearl Harbor vet, thank ’em. They’re pretty rare (an 18 year old then would be 93 now…). Thanks to our Pearl Harbor vets.

Steven DenBeste 1952-2016

Wed, 26 Oct 2016 05:21:29 +0000

I cannot say I knew anything of the man except from his writing in the early days of blogging, and it was usually terrific ( i never got the Animae, but to each his own). The USS Clueless was his vessel, and ironic title given how he had a pretty good handle on things. And […]
