Random non-pathology and only peripherally related to pathology thread

This forum made possible through the generous support of SDN members, donors, and sponsors. Thank you.
I just went to the BK website and they have a new 36-pack of chicken.

We ALL need to start posting to prevent that from happening!! :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

No we don't. Post counts don't mean crap. For the longest time, there were more posts in EM than here, then it reversed. It will probably go back again soon. Either way, it doesn't matter.

I was wondering how long it would take the "you doctors are heartless" crowd to show up. A large portion of the general public thinks all doctors need to be rigid, unemotional (except for crying with you when you are sick), and that all patients never do anything stupid.

Agreed. Let them have their fun. Then when they're done playing with their keyboard and pass us in post counts, they can go back to diddling with their weiners.

Yeah WE'RE NUMBER ONE (at least for now)

YEEHAAAAAAAAAAAA that means our specialty is #1 and also that everyone in our specialty is superior to everyone in every other specialty, and by association we are also more attractive, richer, more well liked, and more talented at non-medical things. Too bad we only have another couple of weeks/months before we are no longer any of these things. 🙁

Maybe we should create a thread about all the hilarious things we have seen during autopsies and how stupid some people are in the manner of their death. Then it could be linked to by the CSI fan forums and we would be NUMBER ONE AGAIN YEEHAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!11!!!1!

I'm having people over. I am in the process of making an ungodly amount of food. I'm making Beer Cheddar soup, chili, jalapeno rolls, hogs in a sleeping bag, fruit pizza and Valentine's day cookies. I made the dough for the cookies last night. I also made caramel corn from scratch last night. Plus we have the obligatory chips, pop, beer, mixed drinks etc. My fiancee is grilling Brats and burgers when everybody gets here. It is my goal to make everybody who comes over gain at least 3 pounds.

God I love 4th year. This is the first time in ages I have had time to actually cook/entertain.

Ok- back to slaving over a hot stove.

I'm staying home alone to watch it. One, because I have "homework" which consists of antibody identification problems that I have to do. And second, because only at home can you mute the national anthem and change the station during commercials without someone getting mad.

Wow, that sounds like an awesome party!! Can I come? 😉

When I have parties, I usually buy some beer and put out a bowl of Doritos or something. That is my definition of entertaining. 🙂

arent you like a 2nd year resident yaah? crap, it really does never end.

We basically have a living textbook in the blood bank here who gives residents antibody problems when they are on service. Most of the sessions consist of him asking questions, residents saying they don't know, and him responding with, "We went OVAH this last year, don't you remember the source of this antibody for testing? Pigeon egg white! Not pooled guinea pig urine!"

sounds annoying as hell
 
Yeah, having a few residents over my place to watch the game. One of them helped me out HUGE during the dissection for my second (yeah, it sucks ass that I got 2 autopsies on call today) so that I could get out of the hospital with moments to spare.

Hope you got home in time to see Aaron Neville "singing" something that defies understanding.
 
I had a productive Superbowl. It was slow at work, so I rearranged all of the pseudoephedrine products and labeled their spots. It isn't my job, but it was a mess. It was either that or dust, pull outdates, or return old prescriptions to stock. 😴

That was unfortunate. I couldn't help but stare at that big mole he has on his right upper eyelid.

6 beers down and I have yet to write my 2nd autopsy report. Guess I'll be working on that now.

C'mon over! I still have 3 metric tons of food left. I am still full from last night! *rubs belly*

Did anybody else watch Gray's Anatomy after the game (yes, I actually watch that show)? How much would you love to scream somebody's face the way Alex did? That was awesome :laugh:

I watched it too! I have only seen it once before, and didn't like it, but just had to see what the Code Black was about. :laugh:

When I worked at the county hospital as a tech, we used it to denote a bomb threat.

If it were an episode of ER, they would have given away the entire plot in the trailer following the previous episode.

Nah that's OK.

Back when I was a lurker, I remember you were totally pumped about path being #1. And wanted people to "post away". Now that path is about to be completely destructed like the Enterprise by a Borg machine, you guys are acting like it is no big deal. Well it was a big deal when you became #1.

E-med belongs on top as most emergency residents and attendings are all about drinking hard, smoking weed, and banging hot rotating med student poonani all after 12 hours of saving lives.

While most path attendings want to be locked in their offices listening to boring ass classical music and trying to figure out how to avoid interacting with clinicians/surgeons let alone patients and definitely not hitting any hot med student poontang while spending 120 minutes trying to figure out if it is rare myxofibro variant of a fibroma or the rarer fibromyxo myxoma when either way it don't matter.

But yes, i'm going for path anyway!

Dude, poonani ? that is one moniker I have not yet heard :laugh:

I don't recall AT and I ever thinking it was a big deal. I know we called attention to it because it was a curiosity and it didn't make sense at the time, but we had nothing to do with the cheerleading or post padding specifically for that purpose. I seem to remember posting "it doesn't matter" on many occasions. But whatever. Selective memory always rules the day. The fact remains that it doesn't matter and the sooner they pass us the better. I'm tired of this.

I think you have a warped view of the ER. In my experience, time in the ER is spent trying to get out of the way of various people running through, trying to ignore either phone calls or angry patients and their families, holding your nose to block out the smells, doing mind numbing procedures, or ordering tests that you will never see the results of. There was very little poonani banging going on. But maybe I have been in the wrong ERs.

I'm sorry you find classical music boring ass. That means that you have no culture, patience, or listening skills. But if you want to go ahead and have repetitive modern crap on your ipod, go ahead. I'm certainly not jealous. 😛

I gave a bottle to my roommate's b/f for Christmas and he left it in our liqour cabinet. Maybe I should just drink it. :laugh:

(somewhat related info: My roommate and I were supposed to exchange gifts this Christmas but mine has yet to be purchased. Oh well! 😛 )

Thank God the ER people finally passed the path forum.


I second that

seriously, that +pad+ symbol they kept using in every post was seriously annoying

At one point a long time ago I asked if we could have one of two things

1) A minimum character limit for posts or

2) not counting any post that had +pad+ in it or had more text taken up by smilies than actual words.

Obviously, not practical.

I was always amused by the posts that said something like "strong work" or the like. Because typing in +pad+ and then hitting submit is highly challenging and stimulating. :laugh:
 
Just an aside note...

Can we unsticky the 2005 Interview post? While it was helpful, I think we are all far enough along now.
 
If we unsticky it, within 5 days someone will PM me and ask me where it is, or even create a new thread. It isn't really in the way so I will leave it for now.
