Limits To My Dedication

[ladysprite]

I had some downtime at work today, so I got the chance to catch up on some of my professional journals. And, in doing so, I ran across an article about the importance of performing a full physical exam on all patients.

In particular, it went on to define a physical examination as 'the routine assessment of a patient by using our five senses...'

I would like to take this opportunity to state that, no matter what anyone, up to and including the licensing board, says, I AM NEVER LICKING MY PATIENTS.

Hahahahahaha. That's fabulous. I think that story should go somewhere in my professional ethics class...

In ancient times one of the ways to diagnose diabetes was to taste a patient's urine. Fortunately, we now have glucose meters for testing,

I'd never recommend licking a patient, but I've known some people to kiss their pets' bellies.

Should I ever bring Randy to you, I am definitely okay with that. ;)

It seems that it would be unsanitary and thus counterproductive, at that.

There goes my plan to dress up as the world's largest dachshund.

I now have the mental image of another veterinarian holding out a wriggling little Chihuahua toward you and asking, "Does this dog taste sick to you?"

I'm glad my officemate stepped down the hall b/c you just made me giggle madly.
