This forum made possible through the generous support of SDN members, donors, and sponsors. Thank you.
Yeah the wonder years! I had the theme song right in my head. Fred Savage, that crazy sumabitch.

corky was on life goes on. haha.
 
I'm not laughing at corky, I'm laughing with him.
 
M2s... what is with all your classmates coming in and harassing my poor VA patients? Every day, I get someone's preceptor oming by the room and saying "I need a good patient for some sophomores." Forget good patients... you can have my cranky guy who hates everyone but me. I have to give him his meds and shots, even. Go examine him... grrr.

I'm cranky because my team went home since we're post-call but I have to stay because I have lecture at 3. I'd rather be at home sleeping. 🙁

Q: Where's the feeling?! The raw emotion?! Where is the man behind the man that I have grown to ___.

A: Love
B: Despise
C: Loathe
D: Membranoproliferative Glomerulonephritis, Type I
 
There was no hint, there was near jubilance when the resident handed me the scalpel.:clap:

Just FYI: You are never allowed to come near me with a scalpel. Ever.
 
Even though I like talking about penile warts as much as the next person...


Happy early Birthday Funk!!! :hardy:

I'm off to DC tonight for the AMSA national conference. Have a happy birthday weekend. I hope you get a new TV. 😀

Muchos gracias! Have fun out in DC, and don't let those hippy AMSA folks take away my future paycheck with all of their socialist ideas!

(Just so you know, I'm totally kidding. 😉 )

Update: I have it on authority that the TV Fairy may be visiting me during the next few weeks. Hoorah.

Bye bye.
 
Happy birfday funkdizzle!
 
Just a quick note to anyone who intends on going into anesthesiology. Do NOT pimp med students on the way to the OR about the drugs they're about to receive in surgery, even if they are in pharm. (Vecuronium, fentanyl, propofol, or even drugs they're not going to get because they're not anxious -- midazolam). That is all. I heart percocet.
 
Succinyl Coa is a mild muscle relaxant. That is all I know.

You had surgery?
 
Sí, yesterday morning. Which is why I havne't been around SDN or school, except for being in Froedtert.

So you've been taking the truth serum? Tell us a story about ashers!
 
Hit it with some acetic acid then shine a black light on it...

Had to rule out cancer. If not, he gets a degloving procedure with a skin graft. If so, then bye bye birdie.😱

Hope you're okay, and that you have a speedy recovery.:luck: :luck:

I wouldn't wish that on my worst enemy. How large was the lesion?
 
Don! When I was rounding on the 7th floor today, I saw you hard at work on the computer. If I'd had mayo in my pocket, I would have thrown a packet at you.

Is it so hard
to satisfy your senses
You found out to love me
you have to climb some fences
Scratching and crawling
along the floor to touch you
And just when it feels right
you say you found someone else to hold you
Does she like i do?

Tell me does she love you like the way I love you?
Does she stimulate you, attract and captivate you?
Tell me does she miss you, existing just to kiss you like the way I do?
Tell me does she want you, infatuate and haunt you
Does she know just how to shock you, electrify and rock you
Does she inject you, seduce you and affect you like the way I do?

Can I survive all the implications
Even if I tried could you be less than an addiction
Don't you think I know there's so many others
Who would beg, steal and lie, fight, kill and die
Just to hold you hold you like I do
 
aaaaaahhhhh. that's horrible. what's degloving? 😳

imagine a glove on a hand. imagine peeling it off. for a closer likeness, imagine it just being on finger.


or, imagine a condom on a penis. and you take it off. only it's not a condom. it's skin.
 
Thanks. =) I should be fine soon -- according to Dr. Lund, I should've been fine today, but I am still in pain.

i'm not surprised. most doctors are liars and cheats and care more about seeing you in pain than they do healing people.

hmmmm, only tried a condom like twice.


uh, so do they put anything on after they remove the skin?

Hmmm, were you talking to the lady that I took an H&P from yesterday in CER? Because that was pretty much her chief complaint, based on how much she bitched about doctors to me.

I swear that if I have to hear too many patients bitch about physicians like that I am just going to go off on them with a Dr. Cox from Scrubs-like rant about how annoying interacting with certain types of patients can be. That should shut them up, or at least make them find another doctor to annoy.

On my way from my room to surgery, some patient or patient's family was complaining about doctors. My transporter was like "I should've told him you were studying to be a doctor, just to make him shut up."
 
I've always wondered why people think doctors are liars and addicts and asses. Maybe they have us confused with lawyers...

Agent Splat hears Melissa Ethridge (had to google it, I don't listen to her) when Donny and Xandie look at eachother. I hear the Fray or that Dawson's Creek song, "i don't wanna wait for our lives to be over". That song actually reminds me of souhtpark.
 
Man, I just found out that one of my co-worker's sons, who also worked for us for a bit, died of meningitis at age 20. We all knew his dad fairly well. He hadn't been feeling well, and he went into the ER yesterday, and had an MRI done. I'm not sure if they could tell what was wrong or not, but he ended up going home and died in his sleep last night. Really shy guy, wouldn't hurt a fly. His parents must be in absolute shock right now. 🙁

sorry to hear the news. meningitis can be scary stuff. 🙁
 
I love this. I had a mutual/trust fund thing set up that was used to pay my undergrad tuition each year. It was finally closed last year out as the last bit of it was taken out, which was maybe $1,000. What does the IRS do? Well, those wonderful a-holes apply the entire net value of money taken out from the fund over the years and tax me on THAT this year. PLUS it looks like I have (which I don't) close to 50,000 to my name because of that fund....sure...sure. Even better, this was looked at by a CPA and pretty much, yep...that's it. I'm getting taxed on it even though the majority of that money hasn't been around for awhile. Oh, and of course now I don't get any refund and have to pay out.

So thanks to apparently having money that I actually don't, my EFC per FAFSA is like $22500. :laugh: I've never had that much money in my life. Financial aid better still dish out this year.
 
My first day off this month and I couldn't sleep in. Fudgesickles.
