The Chronicles of Dr. C

Hi
I am a newly graduated family physician that has started to work in a very small town in Minnesota, with a population of 2570....err, correction, 2572 when you included my wife and I. It has been a little change for us living here, considering we have lived most of our lives in other small towns such as Toronto, Philadelphia. Anyways, I have had a blast working here as I am IT. I mean really IT. I cover the ER, admit patients into our inpatient service, which is myself again, and then discharge them to be followed up in our clinic.....by myself again. AND, I do deliveries too. Its the ultimate physician continuity deal. Did you ever see the show "little house on the prairie?" that's where I am and I am that doctor. I cannot go into town without bumping into someone thanking me for doing this or doing that or saving an uncle, dad, aunt, cousin....etc etc. I almost feel like I should be wearing a tie just to go to the market and pickup some milk.

Now, to the reason for this blog....I have come across some interesting stories, case scenarios and issues that I was sharing with some of the nurses I work with and one of them mentioned "You should make a website called the Chronicles of Dr. C". I thought that was cute....and then I got more cases that were fun to talk about. So here we are. I will write them in plain English for everyone to enjoy. I have one story from my residency that I wanted to share with everyone too, but I fear that it will appeal more to the medical community than the general community, but its worth posting.
