cloudy said:Dear Madam,
These boys have been here since Saturday. They're good boys, for the most part, although they are boys, and most of all, I did not take them to raise, so...
oh, no, you did NOT ask me if I was taking my child to school Thursday morning, expecting these two to be here that long, and that I would take responsibility for making sure they made it to the first day of school!
One more time: THEY ARE NOT MY CHILDREN.

cloudy said:It's a tough situation.
There are six of these kids: two boys and four girls. There's one set of twins but the rest are like stair steps. Their mother is a piece of fucking shit that just drops them off on whoever will have them, and they mostly stay with their grandmother, but sometimes with an uncle here and there. I think there are five different baby daddies.
I feel for the grandmother. She's had open-heart surgery less than a year ago, and I know its really hard for her to raise all those kids, but its either that, or they get separated, and put into foster homes. Not a good situation, either.
They're good boys, not hard to deal with, they mind really well, but damn it...they're not my kids. If I'd wanted more, I'd have had more, you know?
On the other hand, I feel bad because this is one place, at least, that is stable, and loving, etc.
SeaCat said:Oh I understand, but on the other hand the family is taking advantage of you. Maybe they need to start paying you for your care and feeding of their herd. Like you said, if you wanted more kids you would have had them.

SeaCat said:Dear Patients Family Member,
I'm sorry to hear you do not feel your daughter is getting the care you and her feel she should be getting. Yet I am happy to hear that you feel you can confide in me.
Now let me give you the skinny on your daughters condition. Maybe then you will understand why I turned down your invitation.
Your daughter is a Prostitute who is hooked on Crack. She has a long criminal history of Solicitation. She has been a patient in many of the local hospitals. This time around she has come in testing positive for Cocaine, Barbituates and Narcotics as well as three different Venerial Diseases. (This isn't counting the Pneumonia which brought her in.)
The reason she is in four point restraints is because she is going through the DT's. The reason the Doctor hasn't given her the pain medications she wants is because her system is already so full of drugs what she wants would most likely kill her. (Did I mention the Police searched her bags when she came in and confiscated her stash?)
No I don't judge her, and yes I do treat her as a human being while she is my patient. That being said she is not the innocent little girl you seem to think she is, and no I am not interested in the least of knowing her outside of work.
Maybe it's time for you to understand what is happening an use some of your not inconsiderable money to help her straighten her life out. (Oh and stop trying to throw your weight around in the hospital. If you want her to have someone there to cater to her 24/7 then pay for a private sitter.)

cloudy said:Honestly? I'd feel better about it if they'd just sign custody of these two over to me, even though that would mean separating them from their sisters. They would be my responsibility, then.

I'm about to throw you into the gladiator arena, and toast you with my glass of wine while I wait for the wild animals to find you.
Enjoy.

neonlyte said:Dear Dr B......,
Well you turned out to be a dumb piece of shit. Quite how you've managed to impress people is beyond my comprehension. Naturally, it wasn't your height that won them over... you might want to think about acquiring a 'hat wearing' characteristic, the glare off the bald spot is going to disturb some patients.
So what are we to make of you? One of the UK's leading neurologists, eminently respected, the merest mention of your name as my consultant neurologist brings confident reassuring smiles from fellow professionals, and the legal profession where I understand you've made quite show as an 'expert witness'. (Do they give you a box to stand upon behind the witness stand?)
It was brave and confident of you to so firmly state my probable illness on my Medical Insurance claim form within an hour of having met with me, and you carried forward the strength of your conviction in subsequent letters to my chest consultant, your friend the nerve conduction expert who made a few hundred quid one night from sending jolts of electricity through my limbs (I bet he works for the SAS on his day job), and latterly - some six months after your original diagnosis - in a letter to my actual doctor. I don't think you did yourself any favours getting into that foolish squabble with my medical insurers over fees, and your last letter 'insisting I'm free to do whatever I like with your letters' was perhaps just a shade petulant. Still... let not you nor I fall out over that.
We did finally get to understand that I had Lyme disease though, unless I'm completely off the mark, you never did obtain the results of the final confirmatory blood test (or if you did, you forgot to send the result to anyone). Which reminds me... you'll laugh at this... we paid you and your associates the best part of £8,000 to tell me what I already knew and even then, they couldn't actually confirm it by getting the blood test results back to you... well me... or my GP... or anyone who might actually have understood what they meant and been capable of acting upon the results.
Not that the blood results were necessary. You'd seen the tell-tale rash, or at least had it described by me, my wife, my family doctor, my chest consultant in his letter copied to you... and the photographs... Christ, I nearly forgot the photographs. Was this what you meant, Dr B....... by 'too much information. You are giving me too much information'.
I suppose it must be confusing when the patient says 'This is what's wrong, and look, here are photographs'. I can imagine it must make you feel rotten when you are being paid all that money and instead of being allowed to do your job, the patient does it for you.
Anyway... I just wanted to tell you all that is in the past, though it has been fun putting it all together for the lawyer. Pains-takingly slow as I kind lose track of what I'm doing half the time and tend to be exhausted after a couple of hours working on preparing the files and documentation.
Incidentally, I don't blame you for not reading the Lyme Disease guidelines. They are fearfully complicated and longwinded, though I suppose a man of your emminance cuts a swathe through the medical jargon that kept sidetracking me. I searched and searched through a dozen or more reports, guidelines and recommendations published by Medical Organizations and governments in the US and Europe and couldn't find one that agreed with your decision 'Lyme disease, no treatment necessary' - you really ought to think about writing a paper yourself because all the others recommend immediate antibiotic treatment to prevent long term neurological damage. People must be wasting a fortune on antibiotics.
There it is. Good luck, Doc.
