We are losing patients. Certain insurance companies are trying to “play hardball” with doctors, unwilling to negotiate with us over their outlandishly low rates. We have lost patience. So the signs went up in the exam rooms today: As of the start of the year, we will only accept X, Y, and Z Medicare advantage [...]

With the upcoming US election, we stand at a watershed. Perhaps it’s just a water closet. Anyway, I want to know what my readers think about the election. I want to know if my readers think. I’ve proven my ability to avoid thinking, and I want to know if I’ve had a positive effect on [...]

Her eyes were bloodshot. She responded to my casual greeting of “How are you?” with a sigh. “How am I? I’m alive; I can tell you that much for sure.” She went on to describe a situation with her adult son who is in a bad marriage and has struggled with addiction. She sighed again, [...]

Everyone must have sore butts from sitting on the edge of their seats while reading my previous episodes of “The Doctor is (Not Totally) In.” I am sorry if you are one of the sore butted ones. Try a little anti-inflammatory and perhaps some ice. You may want to get a softer chair. You also [...]

Joe Boyd hated the Yankees. “Those damn Yankees. Why can’t we beat ‘em?” Then he got the opportunity to save his beloved Washington Senators by making a deal with the devil – giving up his soul in exchange for being transformed into “Shoeless Joe” to propel his team to win the World Series. Interesting. I [...]

Fred (as promised) is back. Episode 1 proved that I could: Spin a tale with the most average of them. Draw anatomically incorrect cartoon characters. Write legibly The last of these is clearly the reason I should push on. This is actually my normal handwriting. I did not go to EMR because people couldn’t read [...]

I’ve been tired lately. I’ve been gaining weight and feeling unmotivated as well. I thought that maybe it was because I wasn’t sleeping enough and was eating too many donuts. Then my life changed. I saw a commercial that talked about “Low T” being associated with ALL OF MY SYMPTOMS!!! It seems obvious that my [...]

I had a lot of babies in the nursery to examine this morning. For those of you who haven’t already figured it out, I am very pro-baby. Babies make my days better. Taking care of them is much more health care than the sick care that comprises a lot of my day. One of the most [...]

OK, I am taking a risk here. I’ve actually already made 3 episodes so far, so don’t worry about the total lack of any coherent plot. Actually, there’s no coherent plot after three episodes either.
