I love Keith's "eruptions." He speaks for many of us who feel we've had no voice. Hey Mr. ER man, I got 4 stitches in my left earlobe. A kitten tried to butterfly it for me. They are darling, not the kitten, the 4 little knots. Oh and yes, I got a tetanus shot.
Ahh, if only we lived in a rational world where people were capable of getting over their psychological hang ups (or at least taking personal responsibility for them) and seeing reality for what is is and irrationality and insanity for what it is, everybody in the press, EVERYBODY, would be talking like Olbermann...
But as it is, the ONE person mainstream media has been able to find with this level of rationality and intelligence spent the last 20 years..... covering sports. (nothing against covering sports)
The ironic thing is, if all we had for reporters and anchors and editors were people who were this honest with themselves and their audiences, we would never get to the point where this level of outrage was needed... because nothing like Iraq would ever even begin to pass the first ten seconds of the proverbial laugh test.
About me: I am an ER physician and administrator living in the Pacific Northwest. I live with my wife and four kids. Various other interests include Shorin-ryu karate, general aviation, Irish music, Apple computers, and progressive politics. My kids do their best to ensure that I have little time to pursue these hobbies.

All clinical cases on this blog are presented for educational or general interest purposes and every attempt has been made to ensure that patient confidentiality and HIPAA are respected. All cases are fictionalized, either in part or in whole, depending on how much I needed to embellish to make it a good story to protect patient privacy.
