Signout is hospital slang for the transfer of information between patient care teams. It is also the name of this blog, which represents one of the less dysfunctional ways in which Dr. Signout copes with her participation in a U.S. medical residency program.

Mrs. Scrotum is the kind of person who, after she is served lemon butter instead of parsley butter with her lobster at the club, asks to speak with the manager; has the waiter fired; writes a series of angry letters; forms a community coalition; hires a lawyer; and still isn't satisfied after she wins, because it's the principle of the thing.

Maybe it's tuberculosis. Maybe it's Crohn's. Big damn deal. We have medicine for that.

YES! Send me a free issue of Seed.
If I like what I see, I'll receive 5 more issues (6 in all) for just $14.95. That's 50% off the cover price! If I'm not completely satisfied, I'll simply write "cancel" on the invoice and owe nothing. The free issue is mine to keep.
