Doctor or Detective

Thinking today about how the practice of medicine is a process of elimination. Symptoms present like clues to what ails you, you visit the doc, he/she checks out your symptoms and make an educated guess what is wrong with you & how to treat it. When they make the wrong guess, you have to go back then they take another guess. Sometimes they order tests (these give you a better chance at being diagnosed correctly) The key here is hoping your doctor is a good enough detective to order the right tests, and interpret your bodily clues (symptoms) to effectively solve your problem

Home the double edge sword

So I was supposed to be at a work conference in sunny Puerto Rico right now but instead i am home with a broken foot. BOOO! While i was not looking forward to spending 5 days away from my kiddos especially my baby baby Christian, though i was looking forward to sleeping alone in a king size bed and eating out for dinner every night and getting catered breakfast lunch & snacks.  But things happen for a reason i guess.  As my mom advised me "No hay mal que por bien no venga" - essentially meaning that nothing bad happens without good to follow.  The good to follow or good reason is seeming like I needed to be here since the kids & Daddy are all sick.  Even with one foot out of commision at least im here to help Daddy with the kids and cleaning the house. I have mastered putting stuff away on my hands and knees (sidenote: if you find yourself havin to get around on all fours, house slippers under your knees and sliding like your skiing saves the knee cap pain).
