I was excited. Finally I could get my questions answered by America\’s doctor darling. Since I know he\’s a busy guy, I thought I\’d need to get his attention. No, I wasn\’t interested in the miracle antioxidant pill that detoxes my carotid arteries, reprograms my neuronal circuitry, melts away belly fat, and enhances me in the bedroom. I know about that already. I\’ve seen his show.
No, my questions were far more important
So, Dr. Ron wants to play for Simon Powell on \”Doctor Idol,\” and Chuck (\”Chuck,\” I mean) wants to play for the Mud hens. What\’s wrong with that? Nothing, actually, aside from their total lack of athletic and musical talent. What\’s wrong is the part of the stories preceding these winsome wishes of our dear …
In case you missed my last post (some may consider it a blessing, like missing the season premiere of \”Jenny McCarthy, the science Gal\”), this is the star of the show. His name is \”Chuck.\” Why, many may ask do I use \”quotes\” when I use the name \”Chuck.\” To this, I respond, that it\’s …
While hard at work at building a new practice and (in the eyes of some) on my insanely misguided effort to build a medical record, I\’ve been thinking. Dangerous thing to do, you know. It can lead to scary things like ideas, creativity, and change. I know, I should be satisfied with the usual mental …
People ask me lots of questions, some good and some not so good. Is this illness I caught contagious? (How would you have gotten it otherwise?) Is this medicine going to destroy my liver? (Yes, your wife paid me lots of money to bump you off) What do you think about the odd pattern on my …
One of my favorite series of posts I did on my old blog was a run-down of the physical exam. Some might say I ran down the physical exam as one might run down a pedestrian, I suppose, but it was a fun series to write. If you didn\’t get the chance to read it …
I got this in my email today from \”Living Social.\” When I first read it, I thought it said, \”Your mother always reminded you to wash your behind…\”, which makes sense, given the advertising subject material. I haven\’t read the remainder of the deal, so we can only guess what the last sentence reads: \”Pay $39 to …
OK, so I\’ve done this thing called Ask Dr. Rob, in which I answer questions that my readers have regarding health, tacos, webkins, fetuses driving speed boats, the end times, baby spit, the dangers of kumquats, and other crucial issues. But there is a big problem: nobody ever asks me questions anymore. So I asked myself: why …
So I thought I would bring you joy on this Friday in one of the best ways I can think of: goats. Nothing brings more joy to the heart of man than goats. Well, maybe cheese puffs bring more joy, but goats are second only to cheese puffs. It\’s a close call, really. But before …
One of the rock solid things in life has always been the neutrality of Switzerland. I go to bed much easier at night knowing that at least there is one place where war is not the solution to problems. This has changed in a very saddening way: Swiss accidentally invade Liechtenstein Fri Mar 2, 10:01 …
