Formerly blogging at Fingers and Tubes in Every Orifice, Charity Doc has been MIA. He now speaks after being crowned Dr. February:
So how do we go about solving our health care crisis? Well, let’s go back to the butt pus analogy. Taking care of butt pus ain’t as easy as you think, but it ain’t impossible. A clinician must first be able to see the bigger picture and look beyond the patient’s ass. For instance, is this patient immunocompromised, is he a diabetic, etc”¦? Otherwise, just cuttin’ and draining the abscess won’t address the underlying disease. How did this butt pus come about? Is it an infected pilonidal cyst? MRSA? And before cutting on this butt pus, one must ask, is this a peri-anal or peri-rectal abscess? Is there a fistula? You get the point, there’s more to butt pus than just the ass, or meets the eye. The problem with our politicians is that they cannot look beyond the ass and thus are oblivious to solving the problem.
