Plain Brown Wrapper: October 2008
http://kishorevis.blogspot.com/2008_10_01_archive.html
Trying to improve my medical practice. Also, various random thoughts. Thursday, October 23, 2008. HSBC airport ads - Love 'em! Having schlepped through more than my usual number of airports this month, I've noticed, and enjoyed, HSBC's ads displayed in various walkways. The ads feature beautifully-photographed images alternately labelled with antonyms, that, well. Check them out. For yourself and you'll get the point. Posted by Kishore Visvanathan.

Plain Brown Wrapper: February 2009
http://kishorevis.blogspot.com/2009_02_01_archive.html
Trying to improve my medical practice. Also, various random thoughts. Wednesday, February 18, 2009. Healthcare Tales from the Crypt. Fraser Institute's Nadeem Esmail terrifies Wall Street Journal. Readers with a chilling tale of socialized health care. And just in case we're deciding public policy by cherry-picking anecdotes of health care systems gone awry, the NY Times. Makes our blood run cold with some south-of-the-border horror. I guess this Scare Off is a draw. Posted by Kishore Visvanathan.

Trying to improve my medical practice. Also, various random thoughts. Sunday, December 14, 2008. What's wrong with this picture? XIV - Oh, my aching neck! Dictating hospital discharge summaries! Check out the protruding vein on my temple - it's pulsating with annoyance. You may say, why don't you hold the receiver in your hand and save your neck? Like this, you mean? It's a frustrating experience, and that leads to rushed, and possible incomplete, discharge summaries. I have 2 hands free to flip through ...

http://kishorevis.blogspot.com/2009_01_01_archive.html
Trying to improve my medical practice. Also, various random thoughts. Thursday, January 29, 2009. Please, sir, may I have an EHR? Thank you, Andre Picard, for restating the case. For a significant investment in the electronic health record. It can't come soon enough. And then assigned them to a patient's electronic record. (Recently, we got a program working that eliminates the re-scanning step.). Aside from the amount of staff-time this takes, it destroys the potential of the data. If the lab result...

Trying to improve my medical practice. Also, various random thoughts. Sunday, March 1, 2009. Culture eats checklists for lunch. Pre-op checklists garnered the limelight recently and briefly with the publication of the WHO international study. That showed improvement in morbidity and mortality after the checklists were implemented. Just over a year ago, I blogged. About WHO's checklist in beta version, and some responses I'd seen in the OR. Not much has changed since then. But, don't despair! Immediately,...

Trying to improve my medical practice. Also, various random thoughts. Monday, August 31, 2009. What's wrong with this picture? XV Don't mess with success! Long time, no see. Thanks to Mark Wahba's keen eye for this one:. Surely, you say, a person would stop and think before dropping sharps into this container. After all, there are clues that it isn't a real sharps container: it's sitting on the floor, there's no safety top to prevent people's hands from rooting around inside. Here's another example of so...
