It's that ADD thing...I venture around then remember what I was doing, and then it's too late Oh well, I kind of said it!

I wanted to post my first fmf post! This is what happens when you sit around doing usmleworld and studying for step 2 instead of refreshing this page every five minutes...

*sigh*

I agree that hangman would have been a lot of fun, or we could have brought in Vanna and played a little Wheel of Fortune.

Pros: variable schedule and shift work.

Cons: variable schedule and shift work.

Pros: you get a little overlap with almost every other service in the hospital, so what they do all day long, you get to do in little bursts here and there.

Cons: you get a little overlap with almost every other service in the hospital, so what they do all day long, you get to do in little bursts here and there.

There are Cons? Hey, wait a minute guys, none of you told me that! I want out. Perhaps I can find someone willing to trade me an internal medicine spot.

Sigh...at least I'll be training in the safe, beautiful city of Detroit.

Hang with us just a bit longer. The sarcasm will evaporate once you have been initiated and helpful information and links will probably follow.

Whoa.. this is starting to get confusing... pros, cons, pros who are cons, cons who are pros... how can we tell them all apart? We need name badges, dammit!

Nah, simply ask the pros if they ever played football for the Miami Hurricanes. If they answer "yes," they're cons.
