AN ODE TO TIMOTHY FLOOD; A REMARKABLE SAMPLE OF MEDICAL CRUD!
There once was a doctor named Timothy Flood,
A remarkable sample of medical crud!
First time I saw him he turned me away,
Saying I was a lawyer who’d sue him someday!
I thought it a weird sense of humor at work,
But I sadly earned better — was I ever the jerk!
When I asked why I needed these shots in my eye, ,
“Because you’re on Prolia” was his reply!*
I thought he knew what he was talking about,
He turned out to be just an ignorant lout!
But I still didn’t get then that he was a fool—
So I skipped a Prolia shot - the outcome was cruel!
Just several weeks passed and some vertebrae cracked.
The pain was the worst I’d ever had in my back!
And now every step is with plenty of pain,
Even though I am back on Prolia again!
By the way —- did I think of a malpractice suit?
I thought many hours and called classmates to boot.
Bottom line it would not get what I wanted the most:
That his horrid career would burn up like toast!
I’m sure that though careless and dumb he may be,
He must have the best insurance there be.
And I’d not get the outcome I’d most want to see,
That he’d live out his life in pain just like me!
How can a patient trust a doctor so dumb?
This one had a skull empty as a drum.
Like a drum it could make a lot of loud noise,
But his noise made no sense — it only annoys.

HE MAY STILL BE IN PRACTICE!
Today, April 3, 2024, I see that this dangerous pile of medical ignorance still seems to be in practice.
This is what I found at this University of Chicago website:

Ratings & Reviews
Why does this provider not have a star rating?
Our goal is to provide our patients and visitors with correct and useful information. We only post provider satisfaction information from clinic surveys when they are returned from patients.
This provider has not had surveys returned that meet the necessary sample size
About Our Star Ratings and Comments:
Randomly selected patients are sent patient satisfaction surveys after their visits. We get thousands of survey responses each year. The responses are used to improve patient experience and. recognize staff members for the care they provide. Patient survey responses are also used to make star ratings for each provider.
For the star ratings and comments, all feedback on the provider web page is posted as it was given from patients. Comments that do not apply, risk patient privacy, or are not appropriate are not posted. Star ratings and comments come from a number of survey questions. A star rating is not given if a provider only has a small number of survey responses.

Since he is apparently on the respected University of Chicago Medicine staff as of this date in April, 2024, I certainly hope he no longer tells people with macular degeneration that they have this condition because they are on Prolia!

HOW EMILY DICKINSON MIGHT RELATE THIS! AND A BIT MORE!
https://www.blogger.com/blog/posts/5152345338722870195 HOW EMILY DICKINSON MIGHT RELATE THIS!
When lawyers screw up they may be disbarred.
Comprehending this fact should not be so hard!
Clients will pay and give trust unalloyed.
Never expecting that they’ll be destroyed!
Per contra: When when docs’ words leave patients in tatters,
They just go right on as if nothing else matters!
So I drowned in floods of horrendous advice,
From a careless physician! The results were not nice!
This was my reaction to being carelessly told by a retina doctor — Dr. Timothy Flood (now thank goodness retired) that my eye condition — macular degeneration — was because I was on the osteoporosis drug Prolia!
This caused me, fearing for my eyesight, to skip a Prolia shot, resulting in three painful vertebral fractures!!!
In fact, as I learned too late from what turned out to be a more reliable authority (a friend who was a fellow at the National Eye Institute, and now on the faculty of Harvard Medical School) this eye condition was related to osteoporosis and not to Prolia!
So once again I shared by reaction:
When you're dumb as a sack full of hammers,
You should only treat eyes from a spud,
But, pardon my verbal bad manners,
That rule washed away in a Flood!
What more can I say of these matters?
I really was plain out of luck!
That doc left my body in tatters!
No question he was one dumb f---! ###

Never expecting that they’ll be destroyed!
Per contra: When when docs’ words peave patients in tatters,
They just go on and on as if nothing else matters!
So I drowned in floods of horrendous advice,
From a careless physician, at least once or twice!
This was my reaction to being carelessly told by a retina doctor
— Dr. Timothy Flood (now than
k goodness retired) that my eye condition — macular degeneration —
was because I was on Prolia!
This caused me, fearing for my eyesight, to skip a Prolia shot,
resulting in three painful vertebral fractures!!!
In fact, as I learned too late from what turned out to be a more reliable authority
(a friend who was a fellow at the National Eye Institute,
and now on the faculty of Harvard Medical School,
this eye condition was related to osteoporosis and not to Prolia!
So in a few verses I shared my little reaction in rhyme!
When you're dumb as a sack full of hammers,
You should only treat eyes from a spud,
But, pardon my verbal bad manners,
That rule washed away in a Flood!
What more can I say of these matters?
I really was plain out of luck!
That doc left my body in tatters!
No question, he was one dumb f---! ###

WAS THAT BRAIN OUT TO LUNCH?
When I read about this physician and his distinguished history -- I am dumbstruck! How could such a well-educated, experienced physician have given me advice that was totally wrong - and that left me in pain for most likely the rest of my life!

A PARADOX! MANY ACIDIC FOODS CAN BE ALKALIZING, BUT CAN BE HARD ON TEETH!
This article is worth reading! If you are trying to stick to an alkaline-forming diet and avoiding acid-forming foods, know that many foods that are acidic may actually be alkaline-forming in the body.
But be careful, because some acidic foods and beverages -- while they may be alkaline forming -- can be hard on the teeth!
The article by a dentist posted in the link above offers lots of good ideas to protect your teeth while eating alkaline-forming foods that are acidic.
