Most insulting/funny sentence ever from a consulting doc
I have a new patient that I inherited from a former colleague. She came to me with a letter from her ophthalmologist addressed to the patient that she was suppposed to give to her primary care doctor and nephrologist.
Here is the money quote:
I am going to give you a copy of Harrison’s textbook to look for secondary causes of hypertension.
When the patient came in she didn’t have the book so I have no idea how to re-run her work-up of secondary hypertension (which had been done multiple times in the past).
Hey asshole, next time you have a bad outcome on one of your patients I’ll make sure I send you a copy of Clinical Ophthalmology: A Systematic Approach

Vasopressin and Infidelity
Variations in a gene which control the distribution of vasopressin receptors in the brain have been linked to marital discord in both men and women. Men with two copies of the allele had twice the marital problems of men with no copies.
Weird.
