Doctors who lost chemotherapy clinic finding ways to continue patient care

A few more lighthearted stories today:

Oncologists at the University Medical Center in Las Vegas lost their chemotherapy clinic this year due to budget cuts. In case you wondered if those doctors care about their patients, have no fear. They are literally passing the hat throughout the county to get money to pay for chemotherapy costs for patients and have waived their physician fees for these patients and are treating them in a chemo room they created on their own (which, the article points out, was an old storage space in the hospital). I can only imagine the intense feelings that those doctors felt when they were told that they would lose their chemo room. Kudos to them for actively working towards a solution.
I am in love with the new-ish blog NCBI ROFL (stands for "National Center Biotechnology Information Rolling on the Floor Laughing"), which lists really ridiculous or funny Pubmed citations. So I couldn't pass up this one, an article titled "Why are modern scientists so dull?" (Speak for yourself!) Anyone who has gone through medical school knows that what the author says is true: "... the science selection process ruthlessly weeds out interesting and imaginative people."
KevinMD asks, if you do Facebook or Myspace, should you "friend" your patients or their families? Although I have reluctantly started using Facebook (and sheepishly admit to kinda liking it), I do not friend patients or families. In a bit of a paradox, I know some patients and families do follow me on Twitter, and that does not bother me. I tend to keep my tweets to a more medical/less personal nature. (Related: I don't think I would want to "friend" my doctors, but maybe that's just me.)
Do cancer clinics have quieter waiting rooms, and is this a bad thing?
