Wow, you bought a syphgmomanometer.
Remember to take the carotid pressures of your friends, it is more accurate that that brachial stuff.

I wonder if that word will have the same effect on this forum as it would in an emergency department?

It had the same effect with my classes this week...didn't even get lunch break today...had to go from 8-3 (longest time I've had in a classroom in a long time).

Post pad for the night.

Class? Who goes to class?

Since we were talking about piercings, what are some of the "bad ass" tatoos you people have? Or is some people's case, "super sexy" tatoos?

I don't have them yet, but I'm getting three tattoos (and possibly a forth).

The first is an outline of a pentagon with "9-11-01" inside it and "Honor those who died" above it and "Remember those who responded" below it. This is going on my left pec.

The second is an angel holding a baby and a sword and standing in front of the Earth with a scroll bearing the words "Damit Anderen leben koennen" ('So that others might live' in German). This is going on my left upper back.

The third is a weeping angel with the words "Bear through, some day this sorrow will be be to your benefit." That is going on my right upper back.

If I don't go, I feel completely lost and it takes me twice as long to learn it on my own. I am one of the unfortunate ones who benefit greatly from the boring lectures...

Hey, we're all cool with that. Unless you're one of those that asks questions. As in, more than 1.
And you never know, it might be because your teachers are better at teaching than ours.

We pissed off our administration one day, because a guest lecturer waited around for 10 minutes before leaving because 0 people showed up.

I'm actually one of those that sits in the back row and observes everyone else. If I ever have questions, I ask the people next to me and don't disturb the entire class. Most of the profs are really good here, so that also helps.

Thanks. I know I liked it. It sounded like something I would say to a person just to see their reaction. 😛
 
Random post.

The guy at the pizza place called me "Bella" today. It made my day.

To add to the random post...we went to a pizza place to get pizza tonight. They forgot to give us something, so we asked if they could deliver us their mistake. Their answer: "By rule, we don't deliver to that neighborhood." Go figure...poor med students live in a bad neighborhood to be close to the school. 🙄
 
strong UC shift.. me and the attending saw 38 patients in 9 hours.. included were lacs. I&Ds etc
 
tomorrrow an evening shift.. bring down the drunk college kids 😀
 
Computer is going back to the shop...again. I don't think electronics like me. Post pad!
 
So I just cooked dinner - steak, onions, and green peppers. I got leftovers 🙂. Anyone want?
 
"So do I need to call you a cab, or are you just going to whistle and have your flying bellhop monkeys come pick you up?"
 
That was me to my ex-fiancee's mother (my daughter's maternal grandmother) this morning......after she told me that her daughter doesn't need her medication for bipolar disorder
 
Because apparently "People will start to talk" if she takes medication! (And somehow, this is my fault :laugh: )
 
"And people won't talk when she climbs the nearest clock tower with a high powered rifle?"
 
Other great retorts I've used or heard in the past:
 
"Should I just talk slower or do I need to find a translator who knows fluent idiot?"
 
"That man could make 'Happy Birthday Mom' sound like the prelude to a severe beatdown."
 
"Don't worry, there's nothing wrong with you that couldn't be cured with some Prozac and some quality therapy with a polo mallet."
 
"You think you're hung over? You don't know anything about hung over!"
 
"If you can lay on the floor without holding on, you're not drunk."
 
Overheard in the ED:
PATIENT'S FAMILY MEMBER: "What's wrong with the world today?"
DOC (under his breath): "It's got people on it."
 
Our medical director at an audit and review meeting:
"You know why I hate meetings? Because they never amount to anything. Rome did not build an empire by sitting around having meetings. It accomplished that by killing all who opposed them."
Response from yours truly:
"That is just one more reason why I never cross you." :meanie:
 
"He's not dead....he's just electrocardiographically challenged."
 
"Well, you know the expression, everyone loves a bastard."
