They’re Gonna Git You Sucka…
Posted by isntshelovlei on August 19, 2011
So someone made a comment to me that “they’re gonna git you…” in reference to some of the things I say on my blog. I’m not exactly sure who “they” are, but “they” can find me right here at TDAMCP…I’ll be here all day…
I admit that my posts can be a bit snarky. They drizzle with sarcasm at times. But Sarah Good of social media I am not. The things I blog about such as coming to work sick, bedside manner, test taking, CPR, health statistics, professionalism, med math—just to name a few—are very relevant topics.
I don’t violate HIPAA, I don’t demean or disrespect patients, and let’s face it—I only say what most of you are already thinking (or have thought) anyway. Oftentimes I poke fun at the system—which we all know is far from a perfect one. But in order for things to change we need to shine light on the issues—not ignore them or sweep them under the rug. The light I shine just happens to be a sardonic, slightly mordant one…
So will I continue to blog? Yes. Will I cut down on my snarkiness? Probably not.
A closed mouth doesn’t get fed. And we have a lot of work to do—so open wide.

I agree…what I post on my blog is my opinion. People tell me all the time that what I blog about might bite me in the butt…also another reason I had to pack up and start another blog too…

I’ve actually recently been toying with the idea of starting a new blog (with a new alias to boot) and have decided to start one as a new grad. So there will only be a few more months of TDAMCP…
