All right, maybe it’s not as bad as having Mr. Bean for your doctor…
I went to the labs today, expecting to have a certain test ordered by my doctor. The nurse came out, took my prescription slip, and came back in 30 seconds with a “kit” (I guess you’d call it a kit) for doing the test yourself, at home.
I am not a fan of D.I.Y. medicine. To me it looks like an attempt to shift responsibility to the patient. “Well, we told him how to do it, we can’t help it if he fonged it up!”
What’s next–Do-It-Yourself abdominal surgery? “Each kit contains a brand-new scalpel–and enough anesthetic to knock out a water buffalo!” Is that where we’re headed?
I am distracted, and have no idea what to put on this blog today.
