It’s all about Patient Education…

After reading a very sombering email from a praticing physician about the state of American health care and all the new regulations, restrictions, and other legislatively and legally-induced BS that make practicing medicine a nightmare nowadays, he added this joke at the end to lighten my mood:

A true story for the end:
Mother calls pedriatic ED: "My child's temperature is 450 Degrees F."

Triage nurse asks: "Madam, how exactly did you determine this?"

Mother on phone : " Very easy. I turned on the oven to 450 degrees, put my one hand in the oven, my other hand on my childs forehead and both hands felt the same ! "
