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.
Still haven't seen that show. I guess there's probably no point in trying to watch it now.

Damn I think I should go to bed!

Lost was totally lame tonight. It was supposedly a "new" episode so I was looking forward to it all day. But all it was was a recap of old stuff. There was not a single new moment on the whole show. 😡

I never actually ate the sea lion. The dream ended with me chasing it around the house with a large knife. It was a fast little bugger.

The sea lion represents two things: the lion, a strong virile, manly animal. THe sea, symbolic of sensuality, the unknown, and sometimes catharsis.

The dream is getting you in touch with your innate homoerotic tendencies. You boght the sea lion at a supermarket, a place where one goes to fulfill basic needs (in this case, love). The homoeroticism comes in when you go for a walk with the sea lion. Were you leading the sea lion, or were you walking side by side? What was the mood between you and your sea lion? Now, I'm confused. You said you cooked the sea lion, but ended up chasing it.....

Cooking the sea lion (essentially killing it to satisfy a basic need--in this case, a psychological need to put an end to the homoerotic stirrings) and eating it would destroy all evidence.

But you ended up doing the opposite: chasing it around with your phallic symbol (long knife), apparently trying to penetrate it,thereby reaffirming the innate sexual tendencies.

diagnosis: you are secure in your sexual identity and would probably like moonlit walks with large sea animals with no appendages suitable for walking.

Well, the analysis is excellent, however it does have some incorrect statements.

I was chasing the sea lion around the house with the knife, but I never did cook it. We bought it in order to cook it. And when it was outside it was basically me walking around, with the sea lion running crazy all over the place. There was no leash or anything. It was just like a happy dog running everywhere.

But see, I am not sure if I buy into the interpretation that the sea lion represents "sea" and "lion." I think it represents a large barking animal.

I have no doubt that this dream had something to do with repressed sexual tendencies, because that is what they are all about, unless they are about being petrified of something.

Mere technicalities! 😉

The true test would be whether you agreed with labrat's final statement - "you are secure in your sexual identity and would probably like moonlit walks with large sea animals with no appendages suitable for walking."

it's the overall message that you must look at. not the mere details.
 
On my dermatology rotation they treat us like we are three years old. After every single clinic, every lecture, anything, we have to take a little attendance sheet to the resident and have them sign it to prove that we were there. :meanie:

yes, this is incredibly lame. the way you are treated at the end of grad school vs. the way you are treated when you start clinical rotations is like night and day. on one hand, you're eating filet mignon (i had this for dinner tonight so this is on my mind). on the other hand, somebody cuts off your head and sh*ts down your neck.

Heh. Don't lose that piece of paper.

On Peds we each had a little logbook. Each page would detail a particular systemic history or physical exam e.g. examination of the head & neck, examination of the abdomen. We were supposed to be supervised doing each of these things and had to get the entire book signed off by the end of the rotation. On Peds Teams. Fat chance.
 
I had one of those things on my IM rotation but they didn't collect it at the end.

Throacentesis? No
Paracentesis? No, but i did hold the bottle.
IV? No
Intubation? No
Arterial line? No
Foley cath? No
Blood culture? Regrettably yes
ABG? Regrettably yes, twice
Central line? :laugh:
LP? :laugh: :laugh:

I already did my IM rotation and did NONE of these things! 👍

We all have to do an anesthesia rotation at my school though and supposedly it is impossible to get through that without doing at least a few IVs and intubations. I will try my hardest though. :laugh:

Yeah, I remember my anesthesia rotation. We had all these cards that we had to get signed by residents. Half of the cards had concepts that we had to discuss (basically it was an opportunity for residents to teach us didactic material). Now this was kinda dumb because my roommate was an anesthesiology resident so he went through the cards in like 10 minutes and he signed them all.

The other half of the cards involved procedures. For instance, one card had to do with intubations numbered #1-10 which meant that we could get up to 10 signatures. I made an attempt at one intubation and I failed miserably. The resident decided to sign four of the lines saying, "let's see, this is your last week in the rotation and this was your first attempt at an intubation...hmm only having one line filled isn't gonna look good so I'll put a couple of signatures here for ya." Then he asked, "So what other procedures have you not done?" I gave him all my blank procedure cards and told him, "yeah, haven't put in any central lines, art-lines, LMAs, etc." He then proceeded to take the cards from me and signed them too.

This is why this logging system is absolutely ******ed. We are being treated like kids and like kids, we are mischievous in getting around it too. 😀
 
The logging in system continues though into residency, have to do a certain # of procedures before you can get certified. For path it isn't nearly as bad as other fields. I saw the medicine residents' logs and it included a certain # of intubations, central lines, LPs, centesis, etc. bleck .

There is lots of **** there I won't touch.

Jager ----> Yeast infection in a bottle

This is stuff for next week's housewarming party. We helped test the supply. I think they need more of the basics instead of such a breadth of stuff. Then again, most of the people going are not as picky as I am.

I need to think of a housewarming gift.

yes. You're missing Bailey's and Midori. I see a representation of your basic liquors, except for a white rum and a tequila. You have all your basic liqueurs, except for the two I already mentioned. You have triple sec, and I believe a sweet vermouth next to the Bombay Sapphire, but no dry?

You havetwo types of Amaretto; I suggest putting aside the diSaronna (for our wedding night, love 😉 ) and serving the Amore I see in front. You do need some cheap vodka and bourbon, though, since those two things are always getting mixed with something that masks quality of the spirit, anyway.

I'll bring the jello shots. 👍

But see, your origianl intention was to cook it. You intended to mask these tendencies by killing and destroying the evidence.

I was a little hazy about the details of the walk with the sea lion. But now that you say it was running all over the place justifies my theory more; your tendencies could not be contained; could not be leashed, and in the end, you decided instead to go with the flow and try to penetrate the reality of your feelings, rather than cook and eat them. Hence, my last statement--you are secure in your sexual identity, and the fact that you described the sea lion as "happy" tells me that you would, indeed, enjoy a moonlit walk with said animal.
 
Finally after many years, Ypsilanti has an indian restaurant. So I picked up dinner from that place. Lamb vindaloo extra spicy...ooh baby! My colon's gonna hate me in a few hours.

I will not be going to this place. And no, I will not be mentioning it to the other residents at work.

We should go! You just haven't had the right KIND of Indian Food!

Bleck.

You're a bigot. What do you have against Indian people? :laugh:
 
I have nothing against them. Only their food. No doubt they all think similarly of Polish food. But I bet if a place named "Krakow Town" opened up it would not become nearly as trendy.

There is tequila and white rum in the second row where you can't see the labels. They need something besides Cuervo, though, because pharmtard won't drink Cuervo and pharmtard's boyfriend likes tequila shots. It's not my own collection. I do have Bailey's in my own cupboard, if that makes you happy. I suggested that I bring mocha frappe mix and we make irish cream mocha frappes.

Yeah, Indian food isn't for everyone.

The one thing I'll miss about Ann Arbor is the diversity of food here. Unfortunately, no individual restaurant here is spectacular. I wonder what Boston will be like. Boston had good sushi and fried chicken.

And yep...my colon is quite angry with me now. It's a ticking time bomb.

Yeah but physiologically why is spicy food more irritating? Increased acid secretion or what? Pardon my ignorance.

Ha! you got me. I like to think of it this way. Think of spicy molecules as little pacman's. Sure, the acidic conditions in your stomach are not optimal conditions for these little pacman's to work. But when the pH normalizes as the pacman's enter the small intestine, then the pacman's break out of "hibernation" mode and start chomping away. This is what I feel right now. I feel like a million little pacman's are just having their way with my GI tract. It's not pleasant.

It depends on the case of course. For instance, if you're sitting in on an laparoscopic procedure where all you're doing is watching the damn TV screen, you won't be scrubbed in so you can pop in and out of the OR with little consequence. On the other hand, if you're scrubbed in on a Whipple, and the surgeons need you to retract (oh boy, fun fun fun!), then the situation is a bit dicey. In this situation, they actually need your hands so for the sake of your patient and your overlords (i mean colleagues), you may want to bite the bullet and engage in diligent anal clenching when you feel you got the runs. In this case, it's really not about the grade. These are the two extreme situations. OR cases that fall somewhere in between...scrubbing out when you got mudbutt requires grace and clever tact.

I think of it very simplistically. You know how when you have a spicy tom yam goong or anything like that your lips turn red and swell like they're bee-stung and all you want to do is put ice on them?

I think of that happening to the inner lining of the gut. Clearly if it burns coming out then your GI tract did nothing to counter the capsaicin while it was in you.

Why do you do this to yourself? Sounds like textbook self destructive behavior to me. Food and you do not have to be in conflict!
 
I feel old. After all that ridiculous posting last night (and morning), I ended up finally falling asleep at 6 am...only to wake up 3 hours later 😡

Back to work for me...time to make a nice warm cup of STFU, i mean coffee 🙂

That's what June is for bro.

Broke, unemployed, sitting on my ass for a month. I still haven't figured out what to do that month. I know I'm gonna fly back into Ann Arbor the first week of June for the end of the season ultimate tournament. But besides setting up my new place, I better come up with ideas quick or I'll soon be finding myself sitting around with my thumb up my ass twirling round 'n round.
