Yeah, it's certainly interesting and it's one of the few specialties that I think I would do despite the relatively low compensation associated with it.

Holy cow! We've now reached 1,200 replies and 49 pages. Nice job everybody.

Jeff needs to take a lesson from turtle in ing!

Hey now! I'm still in post-padding recovery from my post-pad-binge during the Rose Bowl.

I'll recover. It may just take some time.

Take care,
Jeff

PS, go Turtle, go!

Actually, forensic path was my original 1st choice specialty...until I found out during histology that I don't like spending much time looking through a microscope.

 

[EctopicFetus]

EM baby! EM!

 

[EctopicFetus]

I want to see Jeff pull a patented turtle like string about twice per week! I understand the need to recovery! What a great game!

 

[EctopicFetus]

Man. I am so tired.. Plus the few beers I took in made me even more tired.!

 

[EctopicFetus]

Who is gonna win this weekend?

My picks in Bold..
Pitt @ Indy
New England @ Denver

NFC
Carolina @ Chicago
Washington @ Seattle

Your opinions appreciated!

 

[DrMom]

EM baby! EM!

No worries. I'm a devout EM convert. 😉

This forensic stuff is giving me great exposure to injury patterns along with some interesting medical cases.

 

[EctopicFetus]

I am planning on 10 hours of sleep! I am excited about that. Waking up early for Anesthesia and then being bored has made me real tired! PLus the weather in Chicago has been nasty today!

I was so bored on my day off from the ICU that I spent it redesigning my website. Yes, I'm a dork.

The link is in my profile. Who is your boy?

 

[DropkickMurphy]

I bet Indy will win.....although I'm hoping Pitt wins just so that my family and neighbors will STFU.

 

[EctopicFetus]

I cant give his name out.. You know.. But he is very very excited about interviewing at Yale (right?). Just be kind to all the applicants your have coming in.. 😉

We EM folks are very efficient.

 

[southerndoc]

Dude nice home page!

Thanks. Very easily done with Apple's iWeb software.

(I'm a former web designer, but I cheated on my personal website.)

 

[EctopicFetus]

Nicely done cheating or otherwise.

 

[EctopicFetus]

Does anyone share a full size bed or smaller with their spouse?

 

[EctopicFetus]

Me and my wife do.

 

[EctopicFetus]

still alive.

 

[EctopicFetus]

And still happily married!

Side note.. Watching South park.. the one where they find out Token is rich. and then Snoop, Oprah, Kobe and Will Smith move to south park. Lots of interesting racial undertones..

I think the best South Park episode ever was "Day After Tomorrow." Man that was hilarious!

 

[EctopicFetus]

The Mel Gibson Passion of the Christ one was quite funny. Sadly Southerndoc I am not familiar with the episode you mention.

The Mel Gibson Passion of the Christ one was quite funny. Sadly Southerndoc I am not familiar with the episode you mention.

It was based on Hurricane Katrina, except they made fun of how people kept trying to find someone to blame. Cartman and Stan crash a speedboat into a beaver damn, causing Beaverton to be flooded. The geniuses in South Park decide it was global warming that caused the flood, and they start barracading themselves in a gymnasium because global warming is striking the day after tomorrow. One scene has the town people running from global warming.

I guess you will have to see it to truly appreciate the humour.

 

[EctopicFetus]

Yeah, Im sure it will be on soon enough. Tremendous humor! Stone and Parker are quite excellent..

 

[yaah]

You guys realize that anesthesia and IM (maybe others, I dunno, didn't look) have more threads than EM? I hear that # of threads is a more important representation on a forum's popularity. 😉 Better start creating new threads if you want to be truly prestigious!

 

[EctopicFetus]

That is interesting since as EM docs we should have more threads with fewer posts, (know a little about a lot) whereas our IM friends should have like 5 threads with a lot of detail? (greater depth?) Isnt that the word on the street? Very interesting

That's pretty nice software! Those flight medicine pictures made me very jealous. 🙂

Hoping that Indy wins and Pats win..want to see Chicago win but doubt it..... and way to go Seatle!

 

[pm2do]

Like the website Southerndoc...

 

[pm2do]

one more post pad....to make up for time spent studying ...

question for those applying for residency or in residency:

at what point in time did you know that you wanted to go in EM, and how many wanted to do it from your first year in school on?

just curious..thanks

 

[southerndoc]

I love being on a helicopter. Maybe I'll take a flight physician job with MetroHealth's Life Flight program after residency... who knows.

 

[Jeff698]

Damn, that was fast. It's been out for what, four days now?

When are you getting one of the new dual core machines? Those laptops look pretty sweet (although the name is seriously dorky...it sounds like I should be ordering fries with it).

Take care,
Jeff

I knew, without any doubt whatsoever, the exact minute I decided to take the MCAT. Seriously, the only reason I applied to med school at all was to be an emergency physician and an EMS medical director.

Take care,
Jeff

Sounds like me...except who knows whether or not I'll still want to be an emergency physician after I finish med school as "they" say you change your mind 50 times after you do clerkships...
