View Full Version : Things graduate school has ruined for me Kajika 12-05-2004, 11:58 PM 1. Placebos: Chicken soup and orange juice no longer do anything for me when I'm sick other than make me use the bathroom. ;) 2. Science documentaries: PBS shows about DNA aren't nearly so nifty when you know more than the narrator does. EvoDevo 12-07-2004, 10:22 AM Watching "scientists" on TV/movies. The things they say sometimes.... *shakes head* jk5177 12-21-2004, 10:19 AM Lol QofQuimica 12-21-2004, 05:43 PM popular movies. Anyone here see Jurassic Park and want to puke??? jk5177 12-22-2004, 02:51 PM I stopped listen to my parents advice about what is good to do for my health. Kajika 12-23-2004, 08:21 PM I was watching Farscape last night and noticed that their syringes (analagous to hyposprays on startrek?) are the same micro-pipettemen that we use in our lab. I cringed when I saw one of the characters draw up liquid without a tip. For some reason all the bad physics does't bother me so much.

Heh heh, I had a fight with my dad a few weeks ago because I was sick and I didn't want to go sit in the waiting room at the student health clinic all morning just to be told that I had picked up a virus. He said to me, "You haven't finished medical school yet." :p jk5177 12-23-2004, 09:46 PM Heh heh, I had a fight with my dad a few weeks ago because I was sick and I didn't want to go sit in the waiting room at the student health clinic all morning just to be told that I had picked up a virus. He said to me, "You haven't finished medical school yet." :p You can be boldly defiant and echo what he said by saying... "you haven't started medical school yet." QofQuimica 12-23-2004, 10:30 PM You can be boldly defiant and echo what he said by saying... "you haven't started medical school yet." <gulp> That would be a very hubristic move on my part....he's a GP with 30+ years of experience. :scared: I haven't even APPLIED to med school yet. :eek: Anyway, I'm more the passive-aggressive type, I guess, because I ended up telling him "ok" and just not going. :D xanthines 01-04-2005, 09:40 PM Maybe you'r experiencing the "reverse" placebo effect! :) http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/entrez/query.fcgi?cmd=Retrieve&db=pubmed&dopt=Abstract&list_uids=11035691 -X 1.
