This needs to be a bumper sticker or on the letter head for the AMA or something.Kimberli Cox said:Doctors get plenty of chicks (if that's your thing) but not as many as rock stars, even the ugly ones.

DocBrown said:Alright, I gotta do it. If I don't, the world will be deprived of a modern-era "Born to Run" or "Joshua Tree" (a bit of a stretch, but you gotta aim high, right?).
So, now it comes down to 3 options:
1. Go straight into an EM residency, finish it, then take my sweet ass time pursuing my dream at the age of 28. I'd rather pursue my dream at the age of 25...y'know, when I'm a young guy.
2. Go straight into a band for a few years, then applying for an ER residency. Am I correct in assuming it will be insanely more difficult to get an EM residency this way?
3. Finish a year of residnency, get licensed, moonlight while playing in a band, and then go back into residency to finish it. Is this likely?
Opinions?

BTW, he's taken a job in Vegas so be on the look out for a surgeon in black leather pants.

For much of his younger years he was in other bands and was only home 2-3 months a year, the rest of the year was booking gigs wherever the band could.
