The champagne story...
The bottle is going to go one way; the cork is going to go the other way. You just ease it out, and the sound that you are looking for is the sigh of a satisfied woman.’
When I was a medical student we had "teaching rounds" once a week. During this two hour
ordealsession, one of the teaching attending would come and a case would be presented to him. He would discuss the possibilities, and then, as a group, we would go and examine the patient, review the laboratory findings, and then discuss diagnoses and potential therapies.We had a really great guy who came during one rotation. Dr. Jay Blunk (RIP - died in a plane crash) was a no-nonsense, no BS football-player type. One of the cases that was presented was a patient with splenomegaly - an enlarged spleen. After discussing the presentation, we all went to examine the patient. Few of us could feel the spleen - as @bachophile will testify, the spleen, if only mildly enlarged, can be difficult to feel. Of course, today, with MRIs and CTs, it's stupid easy. But back in the day, you had to put your hand on the patient and try to feel things.
After returning to the conference room, Jay asked who felt the spleen. I think only our resident said that he did.
"You guys are all doing it wrong. You don't go mashing on the belly, working your way up the left side in the hopes that you might feel something. Here's how you do it. Remember when you were about 16 years old and you took a date to the movies? About 45 minutes into the movie, you put your arm around her shoulder. Then, in another 15 minutes or so, you let your arm creep down her back. And then, after a while, you let your hand creep around to the front. If you're lucky, you can just barely cup her breast in your hand. Gentle, soft and slow. THAT'S how you feel for a spleen."
Can you imagine that happening today?
But, back to the Cajun' Cueball...
I may disagree with much of what he thinks, but he's not stupid, and he can read the tea leaves. Good article.

The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.
