Medical blog, incredible read

[absolutedestiny]

I really don't know what to make of this. The posts in it are filled with so much drama, humour, intrigue and irony that only one of the following can be true:

1) this guy has the most interesting Emergency Medical job ever.
2) all Emergency doctors do this sort of thing, it's just he writes detailed if identity-protected posts about it and has a humorously scathing attitude toward certain patients.
3) It's all a work of medically-accurate fiction with no relationship to real cases at all that's a great read nonetheless.

Whatever the answer is, it's a really good read for a blog. I guess the best tagline I can come up with is that this is "House: The Blog" - read it here: Fingers and Tubes in Every Orifice

DISCLAIMER: All cases presented are of REAL made up patients at a completely FICTITIOUS HOSPITAL. The names have been changed to protect the innocents, who aren't really guilty because they don't really exist.

I'm not sure what "real made up" means (based on real cases, patient details faked?), but, yeah, that is quite an entertaining read.

As an ER nurse, his/her stories ring very true. I've gotta believe that they are true. Xrays, CT's, and pictures don't lie, brah. Looks like that doc's at a major trauma center.

Ooh thanks for the info :)

Yeah, major trauma centre and graveyard shift and I guess you get all sorts of interesting stuff.
