For the first time in a long time. I'm going to atypically post [View all]

some Sunday morning reflections: I've been here nearly 16 years and many years ago I used to post clinical/behavioral cases that were IMO interesting as they came through my dental office. But I stopped doing that because other things were more important for discussion as the country has been dissolving into Civil War and a form of Anarchy over this time, so my sense of humor has been dulled a bit and there was no point in performing the exercise without humor.

But I was thinking about something today which may interest a few of you: in clinical practice we have the Good, the Bad, and the Ugly, with respect to individuals and the Ugly can sometimes be Very Ugly. which phrase reminds me of someone with whom we are all obsessed to some fair degree. But I will tell you something: I have had some people who are horrifying human beings and tortured me and my staff for many years here, especially in my early days (As one matures, one learns how to eliminate these individuals quickly from one's practice without risking a lawsuit for patient abandonment or malpractice, or worse, being reported to the State Board) but you know what?

Eventually these bastards die (as we ALL shall) of disease or old age or accident. And you know what else? Even as a humanist and an altruist and a clinician who gives his all to his patients no matter what their politics, attitudes, prejudices, or evil nature, because that's the job, I smile grimly yet happily to myself when these horrible human beings depart this mortal coil. And so it shall be eventually.

I just want to be around for the event...
