Today, I reviewed and responded to a review of a Migraine CME program, counseled others by phone and email with CLL and/or facing transplants, critiqued medical illustrations for a book for the community on important health issues, collected, studied, and put in a spreadsheet my recent blood test and BM results, send paperwork in for teaching about a new drug for gout, helped make a diagnosis of someone 3,000 miles away, researched and discussed over the phone chest tubes with a former patient from his hospital bed, gently bugged my transplant doc for my engraftment and cytogenetic results, prepared a brief paper to help my radiologist tomorrow and provide him or her not only with my clinical history, but with a list with all the fax numbers of the 6 doctors waiting for my results, checked on the fasting requirements and Prep for my CT scan, did online CME on a new treatment for osteoporosis (because a friend is considering this new option), was asked about joining a medical advisory board, was questioned about my availability for teaching other docs, printed a certificate for all the CME I had done in the last 2 months, and typed up this list.
That's enough medical work for this disabled doc. I'm done.
