Meaning you wouldn't be believed bc it's his word against yours. Kind of like shootings in the hood, and how no one wants to be thought of as a snitch even though many people saw who did it.
Yes. Its different. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bikram_Yoga
According to a section in Benjamin Lorr's recent book, Hell-Bent, increased room temperature correlates with improved physical performance of the body. Specifically, blood vessels dilate and tissue expands improving blood flow and distribution of oxygen throughout the body. This creates an overall sense of well-being. Additionally, other athletes have adopted the heat as a part of their training routine similar to the way some athletes practice at mile high altitudes to improve their ability to absorb oxygen.[22]Furthermore, some athletes and professional dancers claim to prefer Bikram Yoga, as proponents argue it has injury-healing, emotion-strengthening, toxin-flushing, weight-managing, and career-extending effects.[23]

Oh believe me, all the yoga "woo" can get ridiculous. As a matter of fact, when my carpal tunnel was getting bad, one of the instructors told me that my "wrists were weak and that I needed to do *more* yoga". Uh no.According to a section in Benjamin Lorr's recent book, Hell-Bent, increased room temperature correlates with improved physical performance of the body.

Common suggested benefits may include enhanced strength, increased flexibility, improved posture, mental clarity, a balanced blood pressure and improved ability to concentrate.[citation needed] Other suggested benefits include the flushing of toxins and impurities from the body through hard work and sweat,[24] and Bikram claims specific poses can help clean out the veins and arteries.[25]
Sure. But that's not what he said.
I know this sounds stupid, but punching someone for kicking me in the balls might result in me being expelled for being unprofessional. so I wouldn't punch.
Pretty much. "They can always hurt you more".
...and naive. Some things he's spot on with. Some things are things that aren't going to change. ...and others show a lack of life experience. What's wrong with discussing non-medical things in the hospital among coworkers? Is there really something wrong when a hospital employee or physician bypasses the medical students and residents? There's a privacy concern there considering that the more people involved, the more likely for loose lips.
Yeah, I agree, I wouldn't punch either. I've gone through too much to be expelled for one tiny thing. It's just not worth it. I'd take getting kicked in the balls to get my degree.
Your clerkship director is not going to protect you by taking off comments, even if you tell them in advance.
Yes, of course it's not universal, but just bc you tell the clerkship director in advance, there is absolutely no guarantee that he will delete the comments said about you from your MSPE, since subjective evaluations are used to calculate your grade. The MSPE is a letter of evaluation not a recommendation.
Or maybe he's the only one with humanism left in him. Did you even read the whole thing? I'm surprised you didn't go ahead and call him a ****** for good measure.
Qft.
Don't people wear briefs?
I'd always be afraid of inadvertently getting a boner and it being obvious.
There's a pretty wide selection of male underwear out there. Boxer briefs tend to have a lot of flexibility in where things land- if it ends up in the wrong position, you're 90% visible. Briefs keep things in place but if you're well endowed you might as well be rocking a codpiece while your sperm count drops to near-zero. Boxers and going commando both basically have the same result- maximum freedom, maximum flopping about for the world to see. Choose wisely.
Turning your scrub pants into a tent would be pretty bad form but I've literally never heard of it happening. The fear alone should be enough to keep your **** in line.
Never the good ones...
Did I ever tell you (and everyone else) about the PGY3 on Transplant?
Hope it's a REALLY long coat! 😉
Hopkins trained you well. 🙄 I think it's funny that you actually believe the attending's comment about how well he "connected" with patients vs. I don't know, what the actual patient thought themselves, just bc he refused to play Kabuki theater. Also, @Instatewaiter, he graduated with Honors from Tufts, and practices Family Medicine.
Realize when he trained, MS-3s were not as "protected" on clinical rotations as they are now.
And as someone who has yet to even step foot into MS-1, you would be a good judge of that.
I was more referencing being a "tool" (as you said), rather than your ability to judge.
Nvm.
Funny, I read it differently. I read it more as him being shell-shocked at the dehumanizing experience that MS-3 is. Not necessarily of doing things, per say, but the toxic work environment.
