[...] 21, 2011 By Chris Nickson Leave a Comment Print PDF You may remember that an interesting snapshot was taken of Mike Cadogan in early November while he was at the 2011 Essentials of Emergency [...]
“Moments later -- when he was on the big stage at the Essentials of Emergency Medicine -- Mike discovered he was aphasic, and suddenly regretted getting an emergency chiropractor to manipulate his neck just before he was due to speak.”
“The pimple on the back of Mike’s head was bothering him all week. Fortunately, Mel Herbert’s official pimple squeezer was on hand at Essentials to save the day.”
“Yeah, I know, most people don’t realize that you have to reach all the way up here to get a really good assessment of the prostate”
GUARDS! Defibritaze(TM) that chiropractor.
“The clinical study results of the Vulcan neck pinch being used during rapid sequence intubation are pending.”
“Mike, I can insert a conduit just HERE under local, and then we can tap DIRECTLY into your genius at the brainstem level!”
Just like commander Data … Mike can sometimes fall prone to energy discharges, computer viruses and other forms of A.I. that temporarily take over his neural net. Thankfully his “reset switch” was back there.
‘You see, sir, here at the Hair Club for Men we offer the complete package. While others might just offer the mullet, or even mohawk, our “Full Monty” therapy will recreate what was once the hairline on the nape of your neck.”
I’m sorry Mike, you really should have used duracell batteries…
“In all patients noted to have a body temperature in the lower range of normal, a full examination should be performed. As you can see, the skin unzips at the back here, revealing a fully grown Lizard man.”
Unfortunately, Mike tested positive to the Dubowski Reflex…

The real, impressively hairlined Mike Cadogan showed up at EM Essentials showing off his ‘Bald Mike dummy’ puppetry skills.
Mike bravely volunteers to demonstrate the ‘waiter’s tip’ position of an Erb’s palsy by having his right C5/6 upper trunks severed in a hands-on anatomy masterclass at EM Essentials.
Dr Cadogan, yessiree, my company can install a neural data link right here at the base of your neck, so you can be directly plugged into social media 24/7. By the way my name is Morpheus…do you ever wake up wondering if you ever woke up?
“If he was going to maintain eye contact with his audience, ‘Eagle-Eyes’ Action Man knew he’d need some help…’
Dr. Cadogan, I’m going to clip your microphone here. You’ll be going on next. Here is the “on” switch.
What? It’s funny cause it’s true, people!
“Yes that’s right if you rub my neck, I’d be happy to cup your…”
Just can’t get these damn heads to stay on, ah, there we go!
“Look Mike, whether you like it or not, as Steve Job’s illegitimate love child it’s up to you to get on stage for the new iPhone launch”
“Is that your shirt tag Mike? Have you been drinking again? Your shirt is on inside out!”
“And when you get up on the stage…just try and be interesting”
Steve Jobs was supposed to be here to introduce “One last thing” -- The iCadogan. This will revolutionize the emergency department.
