Here’s wishing you and your’s a happy and healthy New Year. I know my own transition to the Desert Trauma Surgeons will be a good one for both my family and I.

No more white coats?!
September 18, 2007 – 9:32 am
End for traditional doctor’s coat
The traditional doctor’s white coat is to be changed as part of government plans to tackle hospital infections. The new style clothing will have short sleeves under guidance to come into effect at the start of next year. Doctors would also not […]
Acorn
September 10, 2007 – 9:17 am
Gus Mueller of VoodooPad fame has just released a new image editor, Acorn.
Acorn is a new image editor built with one goal in mind - simplicity. Fast, easy, and fluid, Acorn provides the options you’ll need without any overhead.
Given Gus’ prior software samplings I bought Acorn without even trying it.
Knowing Gus […]
iPhone needs
September 8, 2007 – 12:23 pm
I really want an iPhone. It’s not that I can’t go out and buy one, especially since Steve just lowered the price by $200, it’s just that the iPhone doesn’t fulfill one of my critical needs.
I’m a doctor. I gave up using a pager in lieu of a cell phone over 6 years ago. I […]
Cell phones and hospitals, round 2
September 7, 2007 – 12:40 pm
From Reuters:
“Critical care equipment is vulnerable to electromagnetic interference by new-generation wireless telecommunication technologies with median distances of about 3 centimeters.”

unmount.sh Part 3
August 30, 2007 – 8:57 pm

I also re-wrote the script to make it quite a bit simpler to add or change the search strings and thus the types of shares that the script is capable of unmounting. So far it will unmount AFP, sshfs […]

August 30, 2007 – 8:27 pm
I just came across VirtualHostX. It took me a bit less than 5 minutes to register it. Man I love simple little apps that do one thing and do it well.
TPA and the Trauma Patient
August 16, 2007 – 2:35 pm
In case you didn’t know or were wondering, using TPA in the trauma patient isn’t a good idea. It’s especially bad when the path of the bullet went across to top of the liver. And before you ask, yes there was a vascular injury and yes a vascular surgeon used the TPA.
I guess another way […]
Running SpamAssassin locally
August 16, 2007 – 1:32 pm
While I haven’t yet gotten an iPhone I’m making preparations. I realized that I was going to need to do something about email spam so that I could use an email address on my domain with the iPhone. My problem is that since I don’t run my mail server I’ve got no way to pull […]
Best doctors
August 8, 2007 – 8:26 am
I have to agree with Kevin MD, Sid Schwab has written the best summary of why that vast majority of people just don’t get the problems in healthcare.
… there seems to be a very schizophrenic attitude about physicians. People want more knowledgeable doctors, ones that will listen better and explain more clearly. Docs […]
