@Wayne, please send the link to the lung thing
@Paul, great viewpoints as usual. Have to get the log out of one's own eye.... if I heard you right
@Vicki, great posts. I hate to get all weepy, but you are the reason I keep practicing. Adam and I practice 24/7 medicine. It's tiresome but rewarding. And, I don't know how many times I hear, "Yeah, I went to the ED last night, but I wanted to hear it from you."
I had a patient who had lower leg hypotonicity where three specialists said his MRI was normal, and he was fine. I sent the MR to Boston after conferring with another radiologist here in Bangor and three weeks later he had neurosurgery and is now jumping three feet off the ground. His mother was asking him to stop crashing my office and, for once, I was enjoying sitting back and watching a three year old just run and jump and trash my place. Primary care is incredibly important.
