Quotation of the Day for April 16, 2012"Often, despite our best efforts, inotropic challenges and systolic impairments, combined with multiple retrograde flow enablement syndromes, will lead to the decline in function of many of the body's organ systems. To apply the term 'multi-organ failure' smacks of the judgmental and paternalistic. Better to apply the term 'metabolically challenged.' This state all too often proceeds to the state of the patient's being 'metabolically different', or 'entropically enabled', in other words, dead." - Thomas Michel, cardiologist, from his 1993 tongue-in-cheek article, The Guide To Politically Correct Cardiology.
