Limiting Scope of Practice in GP: A Philosophical Dilemma

19 Tuesday Aug 2014

A very thought Provoking Blog by Nomadic GP

Nomadic GP

Most GPs I know pride themselves on being true generalists, and have gravitated towards this area of medicine because they enjoy the challenge and variety that comes with the territory. They also tend to value holistic, patient-centered care and the satisfaction that comes with long term doctor-patient relationships.  

Inevitalby, though, each GP has strengths and weaknesses when it comes to their clinical expertise. For me personally, I’m very confident with women’s health, pretty good with infants and neonates, comfortable with suturing and minor procedures, but much less assured when it comes to men’s reproductive health, elderly patients with complex mutli-comorbiditiy, and skin cancer checks, for example. 

I’m not overly concerned by this, and nor should my patients be. I feel that I’ve got enough of a grasp of the basics that I can at least make the first steps towards investigating and managing pretty much any presenting complaint, and am happy to do some…

Ooooh, Vitamin D

Your Health Comes First.

Research Degree Insiders

Now I don’t know if this song is a real thing, or just something my mother used to sing to me as a child in the 1980s. But it would go ‘ooooh, Vitamin D, Vitamin D’. I assume it was about how good Vitamin D was for you, maybe there was a line about going out into the sun? But it might well have been a song about sliced bread or falling in love that my mother changed the words to one day and they stayed changed. This happens a lot in my family. 

Anyway, this is a post about mens sana in corpore sano. That is, this is a blog about academic writing, which happens in the mind; but our minds function in our brains, which are organs, that are located in our bodies.

So, I’ve been sick for ever, it seems. (I wrote about…

Photo Challenge: Kick Kim Kardashian’s Selfish Butt with Your Fantabulous Selfie

14 Thursday Aug 2014

American Storyteller, Catherine Hamrick, on Selfies.
14 August 2014

Random Storyteller

Kim_Kardashian_2010Last night Bravo TV host Andy Cohen knelt in a selfie homage to Kardashian’s derrière.

The trailblazer of the “selfie movement,” Kardashian now sets her sights beyond Instagram, Twitter, and Facebook to print. Her book, aptly named Selfish, practices the “art” of clicking personal self-photos—hence a highly questionable aesthetic tome with airbrush geniuses on call.

The countdown is on! Kim Kardashian's selfie "Selfish" tome hits bookstores on April 7, 2015. Sales projections? Good question: Kardashian-obsessed fans are too busy Googling and ogling for free. The countdown is on! Kim Kardashian’s selfie “Selfish” tome hits bookstores on April 7, 2015. Sales projections? Good question: Kardashian-obsessed fans will be too busy Googling and ogling for free.

Mark your calendars! The photo-finish pub date is April 7, 2015, as announced by Universe, the pop-culture imprint of Rizzoli. Billed as a “hardcover coffee table book,” its trim size is 5 x 7 inches, hardly worthy of a diminutive side table.

What “never-before-seen” bod parts will Kardashian flash?

Has this world gone celeb ass-backwards?

My hair designer has never heard of the late…
