Today, a friend of mine moderated a panel discussion entitled "Faith and Choice." I got permission to leave the hospital for a while to attend. The panel consisted of 8 local religious officials, 7 from various Christian denominations and 1 rabbi. Half espoused pro-choice views; the other half . . . didn't. The first 45 minutes consisted of each guest giving their personal views on...

fucking memes

1. I got a relatively late start on almost everything into which people seem to rush at a young age. . . sex, drugs, tattoos, etc.

2. I have a birthmark under my right buttock. Its kinda shaped like a spaceship.

3. My primary negative emotion is anger. I rarely feel sadness.

4. I am a very picky eater. I...

I'm fine now. Whatever hit me stuck around less than two days. I've heard a few others have come down with something similar. I'm still a little tired, but that's to be expected.

By the way, 2 liters of lactated Ringer's solution feels pretty damn good. No buzz. No drastic changes at all. You just feel subtly better. I should buy that shit in bulk.

What in the world is Ringer's solution?

Dude, everybody's sick...Some guy coughed on my shoulder while I was on the train today and I almost karate chopped him in the head...

Tomorrow I plan on suggesting to every person that I meet that they might have renal failure, but it's cool because I have some Lactated Ringer's Solution in my car...

Yesterday sucked. SUCKED.

I woke up at 3:30 AM feeling terrible. Long, disgusting story short . . . for the next 4 hours, most of my extraneous water and electrlytes left my body. At first I thought I had been infected with salmonella after the grilled chicken I'd eaten the night before. Then I noticed the chills and body aches.

I was supposed to show...

Monday, I begin my surgery rotation, specifically neurosurgery. It will last 4 weeks. After that, I begin general surgery. During the neuro portion I know I will have no call, and I've heard rumors that I won't have to work weekends. However, I also know that I'll have to study almost constantly.

I've spent the last week and weekend preparing for the complete upheaval of...

It was nice to meet you. You know I did have a point about pyometra-I like to think it doesn't occur in humans as often as it occurs in cats and dogs, thanks to good gynecological care...please tell me it isn't common!puke

And thanks for the ride again.

Tomorrow is the last day. I'm gonna miss this class so damn much.

More Random Shit

me--"Despite our best efforts, the patient lived."

teacher--"I should warn you. This technique has a 0% success rate."
me--"Wait . . .what?"
teacher--"No patient has ever survived to discharge."
me--(flabbergasted)"Then why don't we just smother them instead of hooking them up to the expensive death machine?!?"

I am on my last week of Respiratory Care. No call. No patients. No homework. Just 4 hours of class 4 days a week. It's been heaven. The class is very informal, and there's a lot of joking around. I have developed a reputation as a smartass, and the teacher will occasionally go toe-to-toe with me in good fun. Today someone brought up the topic...

Last night in Athens was a blast. I got to see a some old friends, a few of which I haven't seen together in years. I also got to meet two of their significant others. Everyone got along, and before long we were all giving each other shit like old friends. After dinner and downtown drinks, one of the couples split off to get some...
