those free 30 second porn clips

There are free clips, and free whole videos, much longer than 30 seconds out there.

Not that I'd know from personal experience or anything. 😳

Apparently I should be a radiologist, which surprised me because I said I want to work with patients. But I love just about everything about rads outside of the not working with people part (which is why rad onc is only a few places down the list 😉)

Can you believe that once upon a time, when dinosaurs roamed the earth, you couldn't see a pair of boobs just by tapping your fingers on a sheet of plastic keys?

"Why would anyone ever become a colorectal surgeon?"

Uh, because it's surgery, which is sweet IMO. All I've seen that fits in this specialty is a couple cases of internal hemorrhoids on a surgical mission trip I went on, and it wasn't gross at all like the OP (or whoever) apparently thinks. It was pretty much just like any other surgery I assisted on... so long as you are mature about it, that is.

Well, that right there explains why the dinosaurs went extinct.

Diff'rent strokes for diff'rent folks.

I imagine once you've seen a stranger's manky anus more than 10 or so times it's all the same anyway.

This is definitely true, but I bet you still really get some special ones (same goes for any specialty, though).

I took that 150 or so "What Specialty is Right for You" questionnaire which had my tops three as urologist, colorectal surgeon, and OB/GYN. Apparently I like the exits of the human body?

I couldn't do OB/GYN. I could do colorectal surgery. It's not because I'm "immature" or "grossed out" but because I asked a male OB/GYN if he could ever look at them the same way again and he said:

"No."

Now, see, I can't see myself doing colorectal surgery, but I could definitely see myself doing Ob/Gyn. I'm very interested in Ob/Gyn, and seeing as I'm straight, I guess I'm in good shape!

And it also probably means I shouldn't go into urology.

There is something wonderful about being able to put BUTT DOCTOR on your business card for real.

Hey I did my masters in forensics and did a ****load of autopsies at the philly MEs office. Its like half medicine and half detective work in the field...very cool. Once you get over the dead bodies aspect you realize you are giving that dead person their last words in essence, providing closure for families, and potentially helping put a criminal behind bars. Plus no insurance, no real malpractice risk, and the possibility of side work..ie expert witness testomony/private autopsies=big bux!

So as someone previously mentioned...different strokes for different folks!

Kindly get the f*** out of medicine. That is all.

While we're being idealistic, isn't there something in medicine about not being judgmental? I'm not sure why you're smugly telling people to "get the f*** out of medicine" when you're still a pre-medical student who isn't quite yet "in medicine" himself.

 

[MisterVeil]

You're all going to make terrible doctors.

Except for me. I'm going to make a great doctor because I tell other people they'll be terrible doctors.

It must have been a sad, cold, dark time.

And rectal prolapse looks delicious....

I shadowed a colorectal surgeon and saw one of these cases. Lots of blood and flesh. It was absolutely disgusting, one of the only ones I had to sit down in the middle of.

However, the majority of his work was very cool and he said one of the best things about the specialty is that he can cure many of his patients immediately, or at least provide them with comfort.

This guy was pretty much destined from birth

Real mature. I'm sure he's been the butt of far too many jokes already. As future doctors, we should be more sensitive and respectful.

 

[SterlingArcher]

Be careful, or else years of colorectal surgery might turn you into someone like this...

LOL, butt.

Every time I mention something related to porn I get an infraction point. You guys better watch yourselves or the hypocritical mods might come and getcha.

Also, 3-South reference:
"You should be an ass doctor. They make a lot of money cause they have to touch people's asses."

I agree, he shouldn't have to take crap like that.

He'd have to have a good sense of humour about it- you know, not be too anal.
