I haven't posted in a loooong time, so thought I would attempt to derail this thread immediately.
Today at the supermarket I saw a very gravitationally challenged, lipophilic and big ass woman (my PC switch just blew a fuse) on one those George Costanza golfcarts. She rammed it into a produce island (miraculously no classic avalanche like in the movies). She dismounts her steed, and goes about straightening her ship's course (most likely to the ice cream freezer). So, this 'handicapped' woman, who probably scammed some FP into writing her a handicapped parking pass to park closer - when she should have to park 100+ yds away- is just REEFING on this machine to get it straight. She looked like a WWF bruiser..those things are heavy..the whole place was rocking.
I'm sure she has metabolic syndrome, ice cream anxiety (so do I!)..whatever. Europeans don't spend 15 min circling a parking lot to find the closet space. Actually they bike a lot.
Ok, my rant is over. Flame me for my insensitivity, agree with me, but certainly wanna hear yaah's take 🙂
Happy New Year Andy...still have to see that Southpark movie. Saw Aviator yest, some douche who clearly had no idea what the movie's premise was (I think he expected non-stop flying action), blurted out in the quietest most somber moment: this movie is too ****ing weird!"
Ok, I've never been a poddy mouth before on sdn, so am waiting w/ baited breath to be censored for first time since Catholic school.

In this era of being over politically correct, I salute you! 😀

Happy New Year to all! Party safely.

Say, I have a question: what will everyone's drink of choice be this evening? We're going to try mixing a little Chambord with Vanilla vodka.

Pure vodka. Straight. Unadulterated. Unflavored.

I shall not censor you, my friend. I enjoy your observations. Some may take offense, indeed. But nothing you have said is personally directed at another member. Political correctness is certainly not a requirement here.

In regards to your movie moment - when I went to see Mel Gibson's Passion it was right at the "Last Supper" flashback scene and he states, "drink this, for this is my blood, the blood of the new and everlasting convenant..." etc. Now to preface, if one is not catholic, one may not realize this - but right at this moment in a catholic mass one of the altar boys or someone else rings a bell right after "so that sins may be forgiven" when silence takes over. The bell always clearly rings out. Anyway, so I guess anyone who has ever spent any time in america will know what happened - right when Jesus finished his speech and the time came for the ringing of the bell (which did not happen in the movie), someone's cell phone rang. Out of the silence. "HELLO?!? OK HOLD ON" and she ran up the aisle to continue her important call. I almost had to leave the theatre because I was laughing so hard. I think if it hadn't been a movie about Christ and suffering that people would have slaughtered her right there. But instead I believe they all just prayed for her.

As for the new year? 2004 saw Pats win Super Bowl, Sox win series, Yaah graduates med school, Yaah's sister gets married, Yaah's stock portfolio makes 25%, Yaah begins an enjoyable residency, moves to a new state and starts a new life. Let's keep 2004 going. 👍 👍 Happy new year? The old one's doin' just fine. I'm pushing 30 dammit I don't want any more new years.

That's the spirit! The force is strong in this one.

Kudos for being a potty mouth. I think having the courage to truly express emotions is laudatory. Me. I'm not the biggest fan of political correctness or sugarcoating things...but I do it anyways because I'm just a big wussy.

Yo yo wasup fool...it's been a while since we've seen you in the neighborhood. Happy New Year! Tonight, my choice drinks involved Maker's Mark (either straight or mixed with ginger ale). All my friends were drinking this when the festivities started at the restaurant so I figured I join in...then I got hooked.

Here's my rant for the evening...my blazer and the rest of my clothes reek of cigarette smoke...damnit! I'm gonna have to air them out before I can wear them again!

I know--all thanks to surgery; everyone's favorite rotation! It's actually not that bad, but each and every day reassures me that Pathology is the correct choice!

I thought surgery was better than medicine at least. On my medicine rotation, everyone acted all tired and exhausted...they also collectively had the personality of a wet fart. On the other hand, surgery was entertaining...maybe it was because of the team I was on. A bunch of guys with dirty, childish humor talking South Park all the time. Me and my Cartman impressions...I thought I fitted in quite well. Then we'd play basketball at some point every call night and /or post-call afternoon.

 

[Brian Pavlovitz]

Yeah, I'm having a better time on surgery than on internal medicine; I'm not a fan of getting up so early and sleeping at the hospital while on call, but it's not so bad. I'm on urology now--no call, and I don't have to be there until 7! Woo hoo!

 

[EvoDevo]

May I join in wishing everyone a happy new year? 🙂

You know Yaah, you've and the rest of the folks on this forum have actually given me hope that I can have a medical career *and* a life. What a gift!

Keep on keepin' on, I say. 👍

Yeah, medicine ain't all rectal exams and post call naps. Now about this "life" you speak of...where may I acquire it?

We-ell....I thought that the life of a pathology resident was one of beer, babes (or bimbos if that's your thing), and bacchanalia. Am I incorrect?

 

[stormjen]

I once again failed to stay up past midnight on New Year's. I think the latest I've managed was 11:15 pm about three years ago. Pathetic old person, I know.

Yes, but I tire of this life. Even I get tired. I would like to settle down in the country with a picket fence, 3 dogs, 2.6 children, and a hot wife.

Gotta run - they're doing kegstands in the chem lab to honor the new playmate of the month.

I don't know about path residency but yaah, the hyperthyroid alcoholic in denial, can tell you more about drinking beer during residency.

There certainly was beer drinking to be had in med school though 👍

Yaah, I'm gonna hopefully try out some Boston microbrews tonight. 😀

Who do you think provides all the control samples for the positive alcohol tox screens? That's my job, for pete's sake.

OK negative nancy, so you clearly are the negative control right? Fine, you're dry now. But didn't you say in the Lounge that this was not the case in college and that you had to go through AA and drug rehab back then? I'm sure mushy can back me up on this...

I was a loser in college! I was the RA on the substance free floor my junior year. Senior year I drank a bit but far from a regular occurrence. A couple of bar crawls through downtown.

Now, however, I am a relative lush.

When you come back here let me know. I will buy you a wine cooler.

Dude, if you buy me a wine cooler, I will so grab a ladder, crawl up it and smack you!

Your college had a substance free floor? What the hell? Did you go to a college where the majority of students did drugs? I bet you confiscated the crack & weed and smoked it all yourself didn't ya?

I was a winner in college.

No the sub free folks were actually sub free. They all chose to live there, with the exception of two young men who clearly had their mothers fill out the form. They were fairly decent about it. One moved out halfway through the year. The other had beer stashed under his bed and we made him get rid of it but he was never obnoxious or real drunk on the floor anyway. When I applied to be an RA they asked for a volunteer for the sub free floor and I said what the hell why not, it doesn't mean you have to be sub free just no drugs on the floor. I figured it would be quieter but in fact it was louder because they all just sat in the hallway and did drama scenes or something. And there were some mental problems too - a couple of real drama queens and people struggling with depression, some had been through rehab even. Scared me off of psych right there!

I thought you might like the wine cooler suggestion.

Both pre- and post-holiday intake. I've been on a major nutrition kick lately and felt I should publicly acknowledge it.
