So, I’ve officially started my new job with Sarasota OB/GYN Associates!

The practice has offices in Sarasota, Bradenton, and Venice, and I’ll be working at all three. There’s also an office in Port Charlotte, but thankfully I don’t have to make that trip.
The office number is
941-343-0609

Annie and I are really enjoying the Florida sunshine. ☀️ We’re still unpacking and gradually moving the rest of our furniture down to Sarasota, but it’s starting to feel like home.

For my first two weeks, I’m spending a lot of time in computer training. I also have to learn the hospital’s EMR system—even though they’re switching to Epic in about three months!

What amazes me is that none of these EMR systems communicate well with each other. Every system is different, every interface works differently, and every time you change hospitals or practices, you have to learn another one. This will be the fourth EMR system I’ve had to learn.

Who decided that medicine needed government-mandated electronic records but forgot to make sure the systems could actually talk to one another—or even work somewhat the same way? 😡

We were promised that EMRs would make healthcare more efficient. Instead, physicians spend countless hours learning different systems and clicking through different screens.

So far, I’m enjoying Sarasota. The sunshine is great. The computers…not so much! 😂☀️

Diagnosing endometriosis typically involves two crucial factors: infertility issues and pain. Significantly, the correlation between pain severity and the extent of endometriosis is not directly proportional, as some women with extensive endometriosis may not experience pain, while others with pain can still achieve normal pregnancies. This underscores the complexity of endometriosis diagnosis. Various factors can cause pelvic pain, which may coexist with other diseases. A comprehensive approach is essential, and treatment should not exclusively focus on endometriosis. Surgical interventions require judicious consideration, with surgeons needing specialized expertise. However, even with optimal treatment, pain can recur. Recurring pain does not necessarily indicate endometriosis, often being attributed to coexisting conditions that were overlooked. Painful bladder syndrome, pudendal neuralgia, and pelvic muscle pain are frequently missed diagnoses. Additionally, patients with pain, with or without endometriosis, often have less grey matter and neurons in the midbrain, allowing pain signals to be enhanced rather than filtered.
