I'm impressed by the sheer numbers of Oncologist and other medical experts here on ODT; they should pool their money together, start their own hospital, and cure cancer.
I really wish I had not wasted my G.I. Bill on a nursing degree and went to the O.D.T. School of Bubba Medicine instead; I would be making a helluva lot more money curing cancer than I would actually caring for patients.
If I had $5 for every patient we had to put on hospice because they listened to some internet quack and not their actual doctors and specialist, I could afford to buy every Glock on ODT. Every day I am surprised by my patient's, and their family member's, sheer stupidity. I've had patients who were in my care after having amputations due to gangrene from diabetic ulcers only to enter their room, to administer insulin for uncontrolled blood glucose levels, and find that family members have brought them fast food, candy and sodas. The unfortunate truth is at least 50% of hospital patients are there because they're idiots and their problems are self induced.
