Where is everyone? I guess you are all not losers and studying like I am.
 
my grandma FINALLY got forced to go to a carehome by a dr. Mind you, she should have been there at least a year ago IMHO. Found out they are keeping everything at her house 'just in case she goes back home after she gets better.' Her mind is really starting to go, and she is determined to stay at home. Wonder how her first night in the carehome is going for her.
 
And now for a little post-padding before I settle down after a nice shift
 
1st soldier with a keen interest in birds: Who goes there?
 
King Arthur: It is I, Arthur, son of Uther Pendragon, from the castle of Camelot. King of the Britons, defeater of the Saxons, Sovereign of all England! :bow:
 
1st soldier with a keen interest in birds: Pull the other one! 🙄
 
King Arthur: I am, and this is my trusty servant Patsy. We have ridden the length and breadth of the land in search of knights who will join me in my court at Camelot. I must speak with your lord and master.
 
1st soldier with a keen interest in birds: What? Ridden on a horse? 😕
 
1st soldier with a keen interest in birds: You're using coconuts! 🙄
 
1st soldier with a keen interest in birds: You've got two empty halves of coconut and you're bangin' 'em together. (you ain't got no horse :meanie:)
 
King Arthur: So? We have ridden since the snows of winter covered this land, through the kingdom of Mercia, through...

1st soldier with a keen interest in birds: Where'd you get the coconuts?
 
:laugh: And on it goes. Have you ever wondered about the air speed velocity of an unladen swallow? See this website

A few years ago, our hand surgeon brought in his new puppy to my wife's clinic. The story was that on sunday the puppy had been playing outside and fell over unconscious. they took him to the AEC where the puppy was thought to have been stung and had anaphylaxsis. Treated with epi and roids and got better. 4 days later puppy playing in house, falls over unconscious.

MsBKN examines him and finds him normal. Suddenly he takes a whiz on the examining table and covers it. Turns out he's been drinking about 1/5 his weight every day. Diagnosis?
 
Namaste, greetings from Vellore, India.

Ever since that day we cut off his water so he can sleep through the night. It has been working like a charm. BKN thanks for the advice by the way.
 
I think we will see success when it comes to closing this thread very very soon

I NEED A RESIDENCY PROGRAM!!!! 😡

I am outta here! 😡
 
Time to shower and go study! **doing the sarcastic yay excited dance**
 
I guess I'm new at this, but this seems to be the place to +pad+.
 
In honor of one of the earlier topics on EM haikus, here's one (not med related) I saw on a shirt the other day.

Haikus are easy
But sometimes they don't make sense

Here's to celebrating my last day in the FP ambulatory clinic. I think half my pts were only there to get lab values😴
 
So... it seems like I'm about to get hit by a hurricane...
 
Anyone in coastal locales have any advice to improve my chances for survival?
 
The good one I can think of is "don't get hit by a hurricane." but that seems too easy.
 
I suppose I should get back to studying...
 
But just thought I'd do my part.

welcome to the most fun place on the internet! keep up the +pad+

too tired to study...taking a short nap 😴😴😴😴😴😴😴😴😴
 
As for your other Q's i'm an MS3 at UTHSCSA (in San Antonio) and right now EM is at the top of my list (and has been for some time).

I'm still early in my rotations (doing medicine now) and right now am doing ambulatory med in a little (~75000) town down along the border.
 
There... bumped the roll call with a little more about me.
 
Ok... back off to studying... until the next break.
 
For you consideration:

If I lived back in the wild west days, instead of carrying a six-gun in my holster, I'd carry a soldering iron. That way, if some smart-aleck cowboy said something like "Hey, look. He's carrying a soldering iron!" and started laughing, and everybody else started laughing, I could just say, "That's right, it's a soldering iron. The soldering iron of justice." Then everybody would get real quiet and ashamed, because they had made fun of the soldering iron of justice, and I could probably hit them up for a free drink.

deep thoughts, by jack handey... they're the best:laugh:
