sadly, this woman never met a good man in her life. Tragedy for her and tragedy for the capitalist society, where everything could be up for sale.

Something tells me Trimspa was the least of her problems.

Not being an dingus. Someone who has a young baby and OD's is obviously not putting her child as a priority. Her kid is probably better off without a drugged-out mom.

Oh, I'm sure, but it was the first thing that popped in my head.

Anyways, neither article said she OD'd, but you're probably right. It is a sad outcome regardless. It's easy to judge someone like her, but none of us have ever had to walk in her shoes....

including all semblances of dignity. whether it be through the whoring of her body in pornography, the shallow marriage for money, her overall materialism, and her complete lack of any sort of decency.

she represented everything that I never want to be. media reports are saying that she "went like Marilyn Monroe," but she was no Marilyn Monroe, no legend will ever be made to remember a romanticized "Candle in the Wind" of Anna Nicole.

Sorry, but I beat you to the Trimspa joke on another thread:

Who wants to bet it's drugs?

If you don't understand humor you probably shouldn't be a physician either.

Perhaps you are confusing the medical profession with something else, because from what I understand the quality of a physician is not in telling morbidly disgusting jokes but in being empathetic. I guess not everybody shares your unique sense of humor.
 
kind of odd because I mentioned her late last night in a story about myself in the 'funny interview attire' thread. Very surreal to hear the news from my roomate. Guess I must have been the cause.

Yes, but most doctors (at least in critical care, surgery, anesthesia and any of the other challenging specialties) tend to share his sense of humor, so it's not unique.

lighten up dude, its an internet forum

I guess you find DropkickMurphy's avatar to be disgusting as well (suggesting med school rejects should commit suicide and all?)

DKM, you forgot that doctors are supposed to be cold, humorless robots that don't understand the common man since the common man is inferior to the physician.:rolleyes:

...the key point being that when he was 89, she was 26...

I confess, I seriously was wondering if it was Trimspa, or if she had the same heart defect that in combination with drugs/alcohol killed her son...

But I thought we were supposed to empathize and be tormented by our patients' situations..... :confused:

By the way, I've sold five of those shirts so far......so apparently more people on this forum are like us than some people would like to believe. :laugh:

Well done DKM... but I'm holding out for a cow. Is there any way your company would do a special order? I'm sure there must be a cow template somewhere that they could get their hands on. :thumbup:

P.S. I've been wondering- is that (relatively) new suicide disclaimer your idea, or did a mod ask you to add it? Perhaps you're a bit more soft and gooey than you let on?...

It is sad, regardless of what kind of woman she was, especially since she left a very small baby behind, and because her death is so close to her son's.

Yeah, it is sad. But alas, it is also more than a little funny :laugh: (not the baby or son part, though. Those aren't funny at all. :( )

It just goes to show, there's a fine line between tragedy and comedy...

Sorry, but I also thought your joke was crude and insensitive, not b/c it was a joke but b/c it was plain disgusting. A woman died and you're singing "ding dong the witch is dead?" It wasn't funny or humorous, just insulting.

Yes, but for most doctors, the "gallows humor" is a coping mechanism.

When young premeds try on that particular walk and claim "doctors do it, too", I can't help but think affectation.

But hey, whatever rocks your boat. Passionate/idealistic went out of fashion in college years ago. Dark/bitter is the fashion now.
 
How is this thread not lounge, by the way? Just curious...

There's a lounge????

Haha, eh, I venture between the pre-allo and allo forums (primarily pre-allo), so naturally I post this non-med related story where I venture most often...

But now that you mention it, it'll prolly be moved... :(

Absolutely nothing, which is why I didn't mention it when I first read it, but since someone else said something and you tried to shout him/her down by implying they have no sense of humor, I felt the need to let it be known that person wasn't the only one who was offended by your "sense of humor."

As sad as I am to hear that a younger woman with a child has died, I'm glad I won't have to hear about her on the news any more....

How did she achieve celebrity status???
Click to expand...

She represents everything that is wrong with our culture. A pathetic woman who was used and abused by the media and thought she was in control. Dead at 39. Her 21 year old son is dead from drug abuse. And she leaves a 5 month old child with two guys fighting for paternity ( uh, money). Wow, makes you proud to be an American. Go George, step up the troop levels by 20,000, it is all good.

hahaha i was thinking the same thing when I read that. I feel sympathy for the child and while I would never wish anyone dead, I'm not so saddened by Anna Nicole's death and do agree with Quantumechanic in the sense that I don't think she had morals and don't find anyhing remotely admiring about a woman who's done all those things he spoke of and that I read online when I looked it up. She kinda disgusted me from everything I saw in the tabloids.

Well, cause of death is medical and as a celebrity it makes it current events....which makes this thread interview prep for our fellow applicants. :) Doubly so if you're interested in plastics. ;)

if I may quote Anna Nicole herself, “It's very expensive to be me. It's terrible the things I have to do to be me.”

Call her tragic, Call her flawed, Call me a coward behind a computer screen (really I don't care what you think about me, this is the internet)...
But we can all agree that she was a fake, materialistic woman who (assuming the pundits are right about her dying of an overdose of methadone or some other drug instead of some natural cause) has just done a great injustice to her baby daughter by being irresponsible and reckless. Through my "offensive " joke, I was suggesting that people's actions have consequences (e.g. DEATH) and that responsibility is a serious matter (unlike making fun of dead celebrities on an SDN forum). In my opinion, American society would be better without marginal, drama-seeking celebrities such as Anna Nicole.
 
P.S. anyone who thought that dropkick or quantum was insensitive, please don't go to the lounge. You will literally die of shock at the content in there.
 
It's sad that she is dead. She had a bad home life and things just got worse. However, I don't think that it is fair to judge her or anyone for that matter (unless somebody actually comes into your life and causes damage-- then they are just asking for it). However, it is sad that if somebody has problems, people just abuse that person. Nobody has the decency to help that person out... instead that person ends up getting used mercilessly. Anyways, I could go on and on about society and the things that are wrong-- it's too big of a topic.
 
Lol....Im not going to move this to the lounge, but I will merge this with the random thread ;) Lol I think your picture of the boobs & t*ts did it DKM :laugh:
 
Also wasnt there some thread a day ago which talked about gallows humor? You'd be surprised by the amount of obscene jokes that go on in an operating room. Thats not to say that physicians arent anymore emphathetic, but every profession has to joke about somethign to keep it interesting, who knows, dont hang me

hmm..i wouldnt mind obscene jokes if they were tasteful and funny. i do remember when i was shadowing once in the OR, they were talking about the movie along came polly while they were operating away.
 
There is a strong possibility that Anna Nicole overdosed on antidepressants. I'm curious to hear the autopsy report. I feel for Anna Nicole's daughter. She had faced a tumultuous state affairs (death of son, media scrutiny etc.) within the last year. She was definitely a modern day Marilyn Monroe.
