In the beginning.....

My 17 year old son came up behind me while I was staring at this previously blank page and started to rub my shoulders. He said, "Struck by a Turtle? What's that?" I told him it's a medical code that further illustrates the method by which a patient presents for an injury. I explained that I wanted to create a blog about the ridiculousness of the healthcare industry and it seemed like a good name to start with. He agreed and said, "Well that is stupid. Turtles don't move fast enough to cause anyone an injury.....unless it was thrown or kicked up by a fast moving car. In which case, I think the turtle's injury would be greater than the person's. Is anyone thinking about the turtle?"

Smart boy. I smiled, and started typing. Then I clicked "publish". So a blog was born.
