Adenosine?
Oh-shit-osine perhaps.
Goodnight a-fib, sleep well.
Hate watching that.
Good reminder to stay off the caffeine--I really never want to be the one hooked up to the leads on the other end of that. Thanks.
What does caffeine have to do with the EKG results?
Caffeine leads to heart issues?
I ask these questions as I sip my much loved 1st cup of coffee this morning. :)
One of my favorite things to treat.
It's a metaphor, folks.
I hope you're not saying you're done with blogging. ?
Dr. Murray would take it in an MJ minute....
OH SHITTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT. Whew, okay.
Maybe a nice Valsalva maneouvre?
What's the hurry, it's just taking a quick nap.
Hope and change?
I figured, but I'm ignoring that and hoping you aren't doing so...for to long anyway!
It resembles scalpels blogging routine...
this is what happens to me when i see keith olbermann on tv.
Stokes Adams syndrome??

scalpel... you there?
Sometimes. :)
Hi Scalpel - Glad to know you're still around. :)
Time for you to start this deal up again Scalpel. Everybody else is fizzling out, you gotta pick up the torch.

Im sorry it is not better to fade away, S/S. We will have won the abps wars by the time the latest onslaught of physician autonomy and return on investment comes to mind. That is the creation of an accountable care organization. The Obama plan as it is known is useful for everyone. Make no mistake the are forces tooling for your a piece of your paycheck. How many incarnations of a hospital/corporate owned medical practice do we have to endure: HMO, IPA, integrated practice,... ACO. It is amazing that the medical operations of your practice are legal to be owned but illegal to own. What color slavery shall we call this. It seems that collective bargaining is illegal for us to perform yet legal to be done on our behalf. The FTC has provided a path for a physician owned model which would allow collective bargaining as long as several parameters for operational and quality excellence were met. I would ask that moderate to large groups consider this as a way to stave off the demands of hospital administrations as they attempt to integrate, cover call, and force unfair contract rates.

You are sorely missed!
Um, I know your blog has been on hiatus for a while, but I thought I'd ask if you accepted guest posts.
That's a pause alright.
