"Retrospectoscope" is a common colloquial term in medicine.
Basically, when a doctor criticizes someone for using a retrospectoscope, he's
criticizing that person for being a Monday-morning quarterback who uses
after-the-fact retrospection to invariably be correct. As they say,
hindsight is 20/20, but being correct with the benefit of hindsight requires no
brainpower. What riles doctors (or anyone else, for that matter, who is
subjected to second-guessing) is that even an idiot can be right 100% of the
time when looking at the past.
Historically, lawyers, insurance companies, and government bureaucrats love
to second-guess doctors with the assistance of their trusty retrospectoscopes.
Of course, if they were so smart they'd be the ones making the critical
decisions in split-seconds instead of having the luxury to take days, weeks,
months, or years to pore over every word in a contested medical record.
The author of the
essay was provoked to criticize nurses who'd used a
retrospectoscope on him because anyone can be correct in
retrospection. But what's the value in that? Zero.

ContactMeFree is a dream
come true for anyone involved in online dating. If you have your profile
posted on a personals site but don't pay for a membership, you know how
limited you are in terms of being able to send or receive messages. You
probably assume that those limitations disappear if you pay for a
membership. Guess what? You are still far more limited than you realize.
Frankly, if you knew how limited you were, you would be furious that the
personals site was charging you $20 to $50 per month and still keeping the
shackles on you! The person who created
ContactMeFree was so
outraged by those limitations that he decided to do something about it. So
he did!
You know that writer's block you get when you sit down to write the essay
portion of your personal profile for online dating? And you know the
difficulty you have trying to think of a catchy headline? Well,
MyProfileWriter allows you
to create a profile essay and headline without typing, just by clicking!
