If your medical records are on an electronic system (which I suspect they are as most health systems are using these now) then you can prove that she accessed them. These systems track which users enter a given patient's chart and keep a log of this, down to which specific documents within a chart they looked at. This…

Ohhh, well that's a horse of a different color!

Still—and I understand this has nothing to do with RSVPing—if someone invites me to a party they're throwing, whether it's at a restaurant or banquet hall or other venue, I don't expect to pay. Especially, but not necessarily, if I'm expected to bring a gift. Just like I wouldn't expect to pay for my dinner at a…

I'm sorry...refused to pay? Were you charging people to come to your boyfriend's birthday dinner?

Even known drug-seekers can't just be dismissed without at least a basic workup because many of them do have actual disease in addition to their drug-seeking (probably how they got hooked on pain meds in the first place) and if you just send them away you're asking for a lawsuit when it turns out that their pain was…

To me, psych cases are the best because they provide some much needed variety to a day chock full of abdominal pains and chest pains.

I work as a scribe in an ER, which means I do the charting for the doctor, including taking what a patient says and basically translating it into a concise story. The whole no-tangents thing is so on the nose. But also, a big thing to keep in mind as a patient in the ER is that while it may be tempting to give the doc…

Believe it or not, some ER docs don't have to deal with impactions. The patient is an automatic admit. Of course, disimpactions, unpleasant though they may be for all involved, only take a few minutes and aren't common enough to be the worst part of the job. Plus there are WAY smellier cases, like good ol' GI bleeds.

Also, sometimes tests are only ordered based on the results of other tests, so it stands to reason that you would order initial tests and then wait to see if additional tests are indicated.

This woman is my hero and I wish I could send her a big hug!

One time at college a guy passing me on the stairs made a really lame joke. I didn't laugh or even respond because frankly I wasn't even sure if he was addressing it to me or just talking to himself. He then yelled "bitch!" at the top of his lungs as I walked away, with startled students staring at me like I'd done…

Poor Jake apparently isn't familiar with the old talking-to-someone-in-another-room-who-isn't-there-anymore trope.

That's so crazy, because last week I said to my cat, "you know, I'm starting to think Papa Pope is behind all of the bad shit that happens on this show".

"...the face that launched a thousand ships..."

That dog is already a better actress than Natalie Portman.

Well, Madonna, I guess it's true what they say. If you keep your body in one position for too long, it freezes that way.

He has several different OKC accounts with the exact same description of himself (as well as one on POF). Methinks he is fairly used to pissing women off.
