Amoung Throckmorton's many accomplishments in medicine, the sign that bears his name carries the greatest legacy. Just as his radiographic sign has helped many a trauma surgeon and ER physician rapidly identify a serious medical problem, it is hoped that his other signs will alert the voting public of other things that are seriously wrong with our medical and legal systems.

Macular degeneration (cant see the disc)
We see patients from all over several states. No matter how hard we ask, most of them forget to bring their xrays. They will bring the report but not the actual films. Our schedulers call them and specifically ask them to go to where they had their xrays and have them put the images on a disc and bring it with them to their appointment. When they don't have their xrays the patients get mad because we really cant do anything until we see the films and blame us.
I never understand people that blame others for their own mistakes.
ReplyDeleteOne of my pet peeves.
They actually don't make the logical step of reasoning that the people they blame ...know exactly what happened and they - the blamer... always looks pathetic. Duh.
Good article!! Thanks for sharing
