QUICK HIT

New post on Mick Flicks, from Tuesday evening. Not too much else is new. Rare blogging from work. Went to a "tumor board" this morning. It was of the "cardiothoracic variety", meaning it was mostly lung cancers. It's where the pulmonologist, the CT surgeon, the radiologist, the pathologist, the medical oncologist and the radiation oncologist get together, discuss every aspect of a patient's particular case (i.e. there lung mass on a chest CT, the likely extent of disease, etc) and decide that patient's best treatment and hence their fate. Kind of crazy.

But unlike House MD, it's not all that dramatic. (Man it would be fun if just one day at work played out like a House MD episode. Turn down the lights. Overdramatacize everything in site. Physicians disagreeing left and right while voices get raised.) Good stuff.

More later.
