Wait… OOooppps ~ Got my days mixed up

The brain is a pretty complex and still very misunderstood part of the human body. There’s a reason things such as depression and the like can go undetected for so long, so much of that field of medicine is very much based on how the person is feeling and there aren’t very good baselines for you should have x of this and y of that and be able to do this and that.

…but I still will take the opinion of a medical professional over a layperson 100/ 100 times, and I haven’t seen a single medical professional weigh in that Kruger was mishandled

who wouldn’t have gone to all the time and effort to become a Dr if he didn’t want to help his patients. And then there’s this:

I swear to fulfill, to the best of my ability and judgment, this covenant:

I will respect the hard-won scientific gains of those physicians in whose steps I walk, and gladly share such knowledge as is mine with those who are to follow.

I will apply, for the benefit of the sick, all measures [that] are required, avoiding those twin traps of overtreatment and therapeutic nihilism.

I will remember that there is art to medicine as well as science, and that warmth, sympathy, and understanding may outweigh the surgeon’s knife or the chemist’s drug.

I will not be ashamed to say “I know not”, nor will I fail to call in my colleagues when the skills of another are needed for a patient’s recovery.

I will respect the privacy of my patients, for their problems are not disclosed to me that the world may know. Most especially must I tread with care in matters of life and death. If it is given to me to save a life, all thanks. But it may also be within my power to take a life; this awesome responsibility must be faced with great humbleness and awareness of my own frailty. Above all, I must not play at God.

I will remember that I do not treat a fever chart, a cancerous growth, but a sick human being, whose illness may affect the person’s family and economic stability. My responsibility includes these related problems, if I am to care adequately for the sick.

I will prevent disease whenever I can, for prevention is preferable to cure.

I will remember that I remain a member of society with special obligations to all my fellow human beings, those sound of mind and body as well as the infirm.
If I do not violate this oath, may I enjoy life and art, respected while I live and remembered with affection thereafter. May I always act so as to preserve the finest traditions of my calling and may I long experience the joy of healing those who seek my help.

Scoff if you want, but I’ve found that most professionals take this stuff pretty seriously.

do not know what to do when there is an abundance of physical play. They do not set a tone for the game like NHL refs. One minute they call everything , the next they call nothing. Now that’s consistency.

I’d do it if they would do it.

stir

Yep, plain as day. Just disgusting.

at least carcillo’s hit resembled a hockey play.

#Blackhawks recall D Dylan Olsen, put Marcus Kruger and Steve Montador on IR and add Andrew Shaw to the active roster.

I don’t understand why we need another defensemen, but ok, I’ll take it – it’ll be good to watch. I’m hoping he goes with Lepisto, but with my luck it’ll be Scott.

Monty and Kruger to IR while Carbomb occupies Spot #23 on stupidity!

So still wonder what happens with Carcillo, IR first or suspension?

simply because of the prevailing logic of pairing a young call-up with a veteran

Their gear was for protection.

thank you!
