Who is Jon and Kate + 8? So thankful I dont know this.
You must not spend much time in the grocery store check-out line. I don't know how you cannot know who they are but I suppose if you are a surgical resident, its understandable.
<see my comment below for some further insight>
Dogs are great. Training time/commitment all depends on the breed. Key to success if getting them to go outside. Good luck. My advice regarding the attractive people magnet...I'd avoid a dog (when full grown) that fits in your purse. (My guess is this wasn't the type you were thinking about)
Yeah, I'm not the purse dog type of girl. I'm pretty girly but dogs aren't accessories and I have no interest in taking one out shopping with me. I am leaning toward a Shiba Inu or other mid-sized dog.
Why open an office on your own? Why not rent space a half day a week from another doc. I just jump around to different hospitals with 'specialty clinics'. I see the same number of patients but my overhead per clinic session is ~$50 instead of several hundred. Plus I don't have any employees to pay benefits to.
Interestingly, that is what we're considering. My thread was just random thoughts, so I didn't flesh it out but we've got a few feelers out there. One of the "big names" in town is winding down and the other may retire altogether. So we figured we need to capture their market, especially with us being the only fellowship trained in town. AND (and this is big) it would be nice to have an office 5 minutes from my house rather than 35.
Are you only paying $200 a month for 1 half-day a week? Pretty cheap. We figured we could take our MA, a laptop, the US machine and just need 3 rooms and an internet connection.
depends. Are you curious about what you're missing and going to ask about participation? Then curious is the correct answer.
Nothing to be impressed about yet...she cant keep up.
Horrified? seems like an over-reaction...if this horrifies you what emotion do you have left over for being chased by an axe-murderer or a swamp monster? You've allready shot your emotional load based upon her husbands reported prowess...go with curious, find out what you're missing you may then report to us whether the experience was impressive or left your horrified.
Yeah, no thanks. I just found it fascinating that she KEEPS telling me about this despite the fact that it is not something I am treating or really care about.
My post was intentionally a little dramatic. I am quite comfortable discussing sexual issues with my patients, it is something I do every day when talking about post-operative cosmetic concerns.
Why is it that even educated supposedly smart women invest themselves in this? Is there like a part of the brain so riddled with estrogen receptors as to become immune to logic?
The obvious answer is no...you shouldnt care. In the future here's a little trick I recommend for all my female coworkers stuck in a dilema like this:
Ask yourself "what would a man do?" there....that ought to come in handy for similar dilemas in the future.
I am interested because I was Chief Resident on Peds Surgery when those kids were delivered in my hospital and actually operated on one of them.
I do not enjoy watching the show on a regular basis especially with it so clear that they are estranged. I am interested because I have some professional experience with the family. I cannot speak for other women but I frankly don't see anything wrong with watching a tv show and wondering what's going to happen next. How is that any different than men (who supposedly aren't so addled by estrogen) watching "Two and a Half Men" (and insanely bad show but very popular with males 18-35) or a serial like "ER", "Lost" or "American Idol" whatever show you prefer. Doesn't seem any different to me.
