DU's medical doctors- check in here.

[Mika]

I've seen so many threads lately with blanket black and white pronouncements on what medical treatments work and don't work.

Seems like there are a LOT of practicing doctors here on DU.

Please check in. :hi:


DDS here. (aka on DU: a snake oil salesman, a crook, a thief, an insurance claim denier monger, rich bastard, thief, etc etc) :hi:

[JuniperLea]

1. I better never find out that my doctor is wasting her time here!

:rofl:

[Mika]

3. I have time. I don't do insurance.

---

Oh, I'm a rich bastard and have hired slaves to post for me while I'm out on one of my boats or Porsches Maserati's. :sarcasm:

:hi:

[Wednesdays]

11. What, boats? Porsches? Nah...that's just an old rumor

Dentists wear leather, ride motorcycles, and love inflicting pain. :evilgrin:

[Mika]

12. No pain, no gain.

Dentistry is a piece of cake. No stress.

Don't try this at home..

WARNING - DO NOT CLICK ON THIS IF YOU ARE SQUEAMISH ABOUT DENTAL SURGERY ;) --> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u3CFJvRGWik

Dentists are paid too much. ;) ;)

[PCIntern]

19. that ain't nothin'!

there's a youtube video of a guy popping this huge fatty cyst on his leg with an Exacto knife.

As a dentist myself, I've seen everything, but you could smell the pus thru the monitor...BARF.

[Mika]

44. Link.

Just kidding.

-

At least there was a stent used in the vid I posted. Some people sink a roundhouse freehand :wow: then drop it on a lab :o . (Only to moan over lab fees.)


:hi:

[Wednesdays]

21. Squeamish, me? Nah.

One time I had surgery on my finger and the assisting nurse tried to hide my eyes from it. I told her no, I actually thought it was fascinating. Now, my wife on the other hand, would faint at the sight of a drop of blood...

Now, that was an interesting video. I don't need a full set like that, but I think I should get an implant to replace a canine that never erupted (it took a detour).

[HiFructosePronSyrup]

2. Don't need to be an MD to figure out what is and isn't pseudoscience.

Frankly, I think people with HS diplomas should know better.

[Joanne98]

4. Did you check the DU golf course?

[Mika]

6. Good one. LOL

:rofl:

[liberal N proud]

5. Not a doctor but I did stay at a Holiday Inn Express

:rofl:

[latebloomer]

7. I play one on TV :--)

[xchrom]

8. i'm sending a group of Homeopaths to beat you up. nt

[hvn_nbr_2]

25. Yeah, but the beating will be so diluted that you won't be able to detect it. nt

[xchrom]

42. ...

:spray:

[Billy Burnett]

9. Well, dentists do suck. Rich bastards and thieves, Their job looks like a piece of cake too.

Plus, they NEVER work weekends.

:sarcasm:


:hi:

:loveya:

[mamaleah]

10. Thank you for reminding me

I need to make an appointment for my husband with our dentist. And then fool him and tell him we are going to the ice cream parlor.

[Mika]

13. Only one? How could that be with all of the "expert" medical advice dispensed here.

My my.

[kestrel91316]

14. I'm a doctor of veterinary medicine. Probably not who you were talking about...

[Mika]

16. Hi.

Much more qualified than most of the "experts" here dispensing advice.

:hi:

[kestrel91316]

27. Yeah, and I get flamed and called a corporate shill on a regular basis, lol!

[malaise]

18. According to Bushco you qualify for Surgeon General

or is that women's productive rights. :evilgrin:

[kestrel91316]

28. I'm more than qualified to run FEMA, too, I figure.

[malaise]

33. LOL

Don't push your luck - you're no Brownie :evilgrin:

[cali]

29. If only some of the MDs I've seen were as wonderful and caring as

ALL the vets I've taken my beloved 4 legged friends to over the years. (not knocking all people docs. I've got a terrific primary caregiver)

[MountainLaurel]

35. Thank you for what you do

We speak to our vet more than we do our own doctors.

:patriot:

[panzerfaust]

36. Harder to get into than Human Med School

Sadly, most vets end up as pet-care workers (my dad was a rancher, definite shortage of large-animal vets: even (especially?) here in Texas).

[Mike 03]

15. Well, my reverance for doctors, PAs and Nurses comes from watching my father's experience

at the Mayo Hospital and Clinic.

It doesn't get any better than that.

Also, I had the greatest GP ever when I lived in Los Angeles. He was everything you could ever hope to have in a doctor. I miss him so much.

When I moved away from him, I landed in a place where I have to doctor whatsoever.

[Hassin Bin Sober]

17. You said thief twice....... hmmm

:)

[Mika]

20. I've (my profession has) been smeared with that many dozens of times here on DU.

Saying it twice makes it doubly nice. ;)

[Hassin Bin Sober]

32. It reminded me of that line in Blazing Saddles.....

"You said rape twice"

[Mika]

22. 3 so far. 2 dentists and one veterinarian. Where are all of DU's medical "expert" DRs?

Interesting.

Maybe more will show up later. :shrug:

[Mike 03]

23. If you want to know how Physicians really are, what they worry about (their patients) and

what the hot topics are that they are concerned with, please check out this amazing site/XM radio station called ReachMD.

I have been singing the praises of this station/web site for more than a year.

Other great places that will reassure you doctors are people you can trust:

www.medicalnewstoday.com

Type the disease of your choice into Google and check out the non profit organizations devoted to that disease, and the physicians who are on the board of that organization.

In the case of my father, it is www.myeloma.org

But whatever your illness is, I can guarantee you doctors have devoted their lives to finding answers to the disease.

[Dr.Phool]

24. I'm not really a doctor.

I just play one on DU.

That goof on TV, ain't either.

[madokie]

26. I was always trying to play doctor with the girls when I was real young

does that count?

[MineralMan]

30. It counts. Sort of.

[MineralMan]

31. Ah...a dentist, eh...

Hmm....

[Mika]

40. Yeah, I know. Not a noble profession.

Lowlifes ( :sarcasm: ) like Paul Revere are/were in dentistry.

[ColbertWatcher]

34. A dentist, huh?

I started a wiki for dentistry. Drop on over and tell me what you think.

[riverwalker]

37. A crabby old nurse

of 30 years, hobbling toward retirement.

[Lyric]

38. I'm not a politician, but common sense and education allow me to

comment on politics.

Similarly, common sense and education allow me to comment on medical issues.

For the record, though, I am a believer in medical science--definitely not a member of the "Take Vitamin C for cancer/vaccines give you autism!" crowd.

:hi:

[likesmountains 52]

39. You'd probably find more nurses...I know there are several of us here.

[Mika]

41. Hi. I know there are nurses here. Bless you all.

Nice to hear from you. :hi: :loveya:

[Mika]

43. Kick for DU's doctors to check in.

So far, not many. But no shortage of medical advice here.

[Mika]

45. Another..

.. :kick: for the morning crowd.

Far fewer doctors than I expected, based on all of the "expert" medical advice dispensed on DU.

46. Okay-I'll play.

Twenty-seven years a board certified internist. I refuse to even click on any health-care related post. Not sure why I clicked here.
