Hmm passing out, sounds like your blood bacons are low. Have two bacon sandwich's and call me in the morning.
LOL ! :-)
We used to have this saying in my hospital days for the medicos that ordered swathes of obtuse tests : they were checking for serum rhubarb and urinary cardboard. They were also labelled as consultoids for mimicking the dress ( conservative ), manners ( none ) and bedside attitude ( appalling ) of what they thought our clinical supervisors ( relevant specialists ) wanted. Almost uniformly they were later rejected for specialist training schemes for the obvious reason that they were imminent disasters if were let loose in such modes.
Anyhows :
..... so, anyone for bacon weaving ? It's therapeutic ! So do US insurance schemes pay for bacon therapy ? :-)
Cheers, Mike.

For some unspecified reasons my patients are still surviving my ministrations.
Ministrations are from ministers, administrations are either useless governments, or the dispensing, applying, or tendering of something, such as an oath, a sacrament, or medicine.
So, are you a Priest or a doctor, enquiring minds want to know? I mean "Three Hail Marys, and if it doesn't get better by next week come back", doesn't quite cut it. Then again "there is no gain without pain" doesn't help a lot either.
Been on the road for a couple days, so late post, kinda sorta...
Here's a good medical story for you:
I've had migraine headaches for years (20+) I've been on everything from anti-inflammatories to an epilepsy medicine sometimes used for migraines. (huh????)
The chief neurologist at a highly touted local neurology facility told me "some people just get migraines, we can't always explain why." Although he did give me some really cool pictures of the arteries in my head.
So long story short. A few years ago I was unhappy with the local pill pusher, I mean, uh, doctor, I was seeing so I fired him. Very loudly in the waiting room. I know, I know, bad move, but he really did deserve it. I'm not kidding, he was that bad.
It took a "lowly" M.D., my newest, bestest doctor, to find the cause of the migraines. It was really kinda easy. You see, he actually put his hands on me and did a proper exam. He started at the base of my spine and worked his way up. When he got to my neck I just about came off the table. So he sent me for xrays. I asked the xray tech what it looked like in there. In proper medical terms, I was told it "looks crunchy in there". In other words, multiple bulging discs. In other words, head hurts like the devil was in there playing.
Looking back after the fact, I realized not one of those other guys ever laid a hand on me. Never touched me. They depended on tests and guesswork instead of good old doctoring.
Hats off to those docs who work down in the trenches and actually care about, and get to know, their patients.
Doctors in the UK mostly don't do hands on exams any more because there have been too many cases of sexual assault going to court. Many years ago if a female patient need an internal examination, the nurse or lady receptionist was called into the room (outside the curtains) as a third party witness. If a man needed a rear end examination it was just done. Now all that is referred to local hospital outpatients. UK doctors are just pill pushers now.
I joined Einstein to get away from bacon addicts, but they have infiltrated here now.

Scott: part of the Obamacare law is that no insurance company or employer is allowed to reject anyone based on existing conditions. However, we are getting into some contentious politics here.
I think there may have been something else I wanted to say, but I'll have to go back and look.

Phil: that sounds a lot like my aunt's back.
Bacon: gooooood... I honestly don't care that it's bad for me.

Well I'm back to crunching Einstein on my designated Einstein crunching phone after an SD card failure. Although in the short time it was "offline" so to speak several of the tasks timed out :(

It's been a while since i've read something on the net that made me wince but "looks crunchy in there" did it.
Ouch, hope things get better for you Phil.
