All right, I’ve heard all of the urban legends about people’s behavior on the interview trail… But let’s hear the real deal! I want to know about all the dirt you are dusting off of yourselves now that interviews are done. Anything goes here… sex, booze, odd goings-on in hotel rooms paid for by programs, etc… This is a once and a lifetime opportunity to purge your soul anonymously! Take a break from all the serious posts have some fun! Take it away…

Dear Penthouse Forum,......

all kidding aside, there was a resident a year behind me...less than average looking....glasses too big for his face...ended every sentence with "....YA KNOW?"

EVERY year that Glenn went on a residency sponsored trip, dude ended up with a hottie in his hotel room, with one particular year in Tampa said hottie being a stripper. And the dude could audition for best supporting actor in Revenge of the Nerds.

Hence his legal name change (at least as far as we were concerned) from Glenn to

THE CLOSER

since he always closed the deal.
 
C'mon, brother, I find that story beyond belief....he actually went to bed with a stripper. No, really--a stripper!?! Wow....that's impressive, I am sure that's never been done. Let me guess---he picked her up at the local "gentlemen's" club. No, wait a second...I bet that she danced for him ONLY and he felt so special because she was giving him all of this attention (all while he was helping to put her into another tax bracket). That's a great story--this young man is a tribute to our highly esteemed profession!

Sarcasm appreciated. Wasnt implying what he did was some great feat, rather that what happened was entirely unexpected from this dude.
BTW, I thought this was a lighthearted story intended to put a smile on your face. Lighten up Mr Proper!
 
Okay, I'm game. Interviewing for a smaller program in midwest...an older woman (~45yo) at the front desk of the hotel hit on me like crazy...said I had a "cute butt". Talked for a while, said she was in a "open" marriage with her husband. I didn't do anything cause she was fat as hell. 🙁 But maybe somebody else had better luck.

Am I the only one who finds this thread offensive? The rules of this forum CLEARLY prohibit discussions of a pornographic and / or offensive nature. Rules aside, I find the content to be objectional at best and disgusting at worst.

Here's some advice: spend the time you would have spent replying to this thread contemplating your rank list, instead. This is a serious time and requires serious thought and introspection. Let's stick to discussing pertinant matters of anesthesiology rather than this filth!
 
Great thread...those who find it "offensive" or "intimidating" can chose not to click on it. Bustin out all the forum rules and stuff just makes me want to vomit. It refreshes me to know there are old pervs like Jet 🙂 to offend the I-take-myself-too-serious folks. People also got pissed about the wallstreet threat; I just don't get it. In my opinion, we spend wayyyy toooo much time thinking about rank order, interview procedure, and the entire matching process. There comes a time when there's just nothing left to say about the match, just time for it to happen already. It's kind of like the Superbowl; you can only talk about the game for so long. Eventually, it comes time for the Steelers to just go out and kick the Seahawks ass. That time has come.

Two words for the Seahawks fans...Joey Porter

What? Just because I have the courage to express my opinion I get made fun of? Sorry that I don't objectify women like you feel the need to, but it happens to be against my beliefs. While you may not, I view women as EQUALS to men. We're all God's creatures and should be respected as such.

And to the person who feels we don't need to abide by the rules, I disagree. Rules are important to respect, in this case to protect the integrity of the forum. They have been broken before and the threads have deteriorated from intellectually stimulating to downright mean.

Please don't be offensive.
 
Every interview i was at we would either ALL hang out at the bar the night before and/or go drinking at the Airport after the interview. It was good times 👍 LOL...wish i went on more of them.

OK -- I wan't going to say anything to tool-boy here, but now I can't hold back... First off, no one is objectifying women here. Get that strait. Secondly, if you are sooooo offended then why do you keep writing?

Now for the confession!!

I actually got a new screen name for this one (I'm a long-time poster under another name) to ensure my anonymity! I tried to be cutsie about it... Anyway, I was at an interview on the west coast this year and ran into another applicant for the second time. After the program dinner a bunch of us hung out at the hotel bar and drank more. Well, as you can guess we were the last ones at the bar and -- yes!! -- we ended up back in his room.

The long and the short of it -- I can't believe I'm going to write this -- I gave him a BJ!!! 😍

The next morning was definitely way awkward for me, but what the hell! We both had fun and no one's feelings were hurt! Definitely out of character for me, but I guess that's what a little (or a lot) of wine will do!!

Hehehehehehe 🙂 🙂 🙂
 
And believe me...she was terrible!!!

Your implication that women are being objectified as you so eloquently put it is just plain wrong. And your subsequent lecture-like reply is over the top.

A girl coudl've posted first about some funny run-in with a dude...would that be "objectifying" dudes? Would that have also offended you?

Sorry, I don't feel the need to scold people about the way they choose to live their lives. Your replies are incredibly judgmental. And reflecting on comical experiences in life and sharing them with other people, most of whom will get a chuckle out of it, is not "morally wrong".

And your initial remark about thread pornography... huh???? Sorry, after reviewing the posts, I dont think the words/phrases stripper, hotel room, tight butt, THE CLOSER are anywhere near your distorted accusations.

Borrowing a line from the movie classic Stripes,

"Lighten up, Francis."
 
How about having my cell phone ring while I'm interviewing with a frickin' program director? Dammit, I KNOW I turned the phone off. Damn cell phones.

And here's an almost juicy one (Cover your eyes, Father of 2). It would seem that I hit it off QUITE well with one of the residents at dinner the night before. Unfortunately, I was being quite the prude as well. Now that I think about it, all it would have taken was a hand on his thigh after he ordered us dessert for two (it was pretty cozy seating arrangement, so he would have been the only one to know.) Maybe it's not too late for a second look ...

And yes, I'm a chick, and yes, I'm totally objectifying the dude. Any of you boys going to chastise me? (Yeah, probably for NOT busting a move, right???)

After forensic review:

definitely written by a dude trying to get an internet chuckle. Theres not a chick on this planet that would have BJ Queen as a screen name, and post said interaction. The FBI office cracks a mild grin and gives said attempt a 7.2 comedic rating.

Don't think it will be you hard-on. Know why? Because you have never laughed..... 😍
 
I went on a recent interview where I met a girl that was pretty. I asked one of her friends if she thought I was cute and we giggled. During the interview luncheon, I slipped her a piece of paper asking her to circle yes if she liked me and no if she did not like me. She circled yes and we held hands at the movies later that evening. The following day we french-kissed at the mall before her mom picked her up. That's the last I saw of her. 🙁

Any crazy stories like this one?
 
don't know if this counts, but when i was on the interview trail we were in a group-interview style format towards the end of the day. in this small office, there was the program chair (yes, the chair) and about 6-7 of us sitting around his desk. here's this bunch of nicely dressed and nervous applicants listening attentively, all suited-up and whatnot. and, this guy was going on and on about how great the program was and what our future was going to be like, etc., etc.

well, all of the sudden, you catch a whiff of this nasty fart floating around the room. i don't know who it came from, but it sure as hell wasn't me. it was a bona fide SBD variety. now, just picture that we're all sitting in this guy's cramped office and i'm sure as hell not the only one smelling it. NOBODY says a word! how could we? i don't know if it was another candidate making a statement about this chair's longwindedness, or if he/she just couldn't hold it in anymore, but i gotta tell you that i just about died in that room that day.

needless to say, i didn't end up at that program (but not because of that... that was just icing on the cake, so to speak).
 
oh, and Father of 2, i highly recommend that you rent and watch, if you haven't already, the recently-released-to-dvd movie, "40 year old virgin". ebert & roeper, who also loved and gave two huge thumbs up to disney's "the lion king" and "last temptation of christ", said this was one of the best movies of 2005. you should definitely check it out. 🙂

Dude, I'm totally with you on this one. The way women are discussed on this site is dispicable. The only thing mentioned is sex, completely overlooking nice curves, breasts, firm bums, long legs, smooth hair, nice skin, tight pants, low cut shirts, miniskirts, push-up bras, thong bikinis, pumps, black stockings, red lipstick, mascara, tight dresses, or baby-tees. I hope we can stop viewing women as simply objects and realize that they are people with many different body parts.

2 questions:

why do you suck?

This is harassment. What a sad state of affairs when one cannot simply express an opinon without getting berated. You are a bunch of animals. I weep when I think that you are the future generation of doctors.

Who would you rather have taking care of your sick mother... Someone who is morally bankrupt and insensitive or someone who is not willing to stoop to that level and compromise his integrity and beliefs just for a laugh? I wonder if you would all be so caviler if your real names were being used as screen names...

Have you ever heard of sarcasm? jeez man take it easy. I can't believe there are such sensitive people on an anonymous internet board. Perhaps people wouldn't be so cavalier with their comments with their actual names, but they're just sharing some tales (maybe like my Dad's fishing stories) about their interview experience. If you don't want to read it, then don't.

Sorry, Father of 2, but shouldn't you be reading your tenth Intelligent Design textbook instead of browsing internet forums?
 
lvspro said:

Yessss! You know a thread is going well when someone whips out a "your mom" retort. Awesome! :laugh: :laugh:

And Father of 2 is clearly a troll...any reasonable person who truly was offended would have just am-scrayed from this thread by now. Every time he posts it just re-confirms his troll status.
 
As many of you SDN readers know, I am a father of two. However, I am NOT also posting as "Father of 2".

OK, I feel better now. Gotta go, Fish and I have a PTA meeting to attend (Hopefully he'll lend me his Paris Hilton tape 😀).

I sensed the end, so I threw in one last punch at the bottom of the pile.
 
I have a nice one for everyone that I'm waiting for match day to post. Too many PD's around here for me to really cut my own throat... yet.

Sorry Father of Two, I'm Father of Three-Point-Eight (another Chucky coming into this world in March), pretty successful, 41 years old, and continue to enjoy life, rather than succomb to "the right way" to think/act.

Social groups/individuals that are offended by stories of a resident-buddy's memorable-trip-antics with the opposite sex are way too judgmental for me.

I hate arrogant/judgmental people.

Have fun at your tea-party with the 60 year olds from your church, Father of Two.

Me and the dry-wall guys fixing my house are gonna go have a beer at The Cats Meow.

Oh, by the way, the dry-wall guys, and I, are also pretty good people. Unfortunately you are too judgmental to appreciate that.
