call

Oh my gosh - I LOVE INTERNAL MEDICINE...I've said that before huh? Well, I'm saying it again.

I just got home from call, and a couple of funny things from the last few hours that I can manage to remember are now stumbling out...

Nurse: "That vaginal culture...did you mean (female patient) is getting that lab ordered for her? B/c it's been ordered for this (male patient)."
My Resident AWESOME: "OHHHH YEAH - I suppose that would be impossible for him to do......"
Me: *on floor*


A page I sent to Resident AWESOME: "New admission - chocolate ice cream coming in for lack of consumption. Remove from freezer STAT."

p.s. I FREAKIN' LOVE PAGING PEOPLE!!!! :D

this one's for you ;)

HAHA - remember how you had to light my bunsen burner for me? I will NEVER FORGET how afraid I was of that damn thing! And HOW BRAVE YOU WERE!!!!!!

And now, a lesson in humor...brought to you by xkcd:

fan of shades...

Play here: Fan of Shades

"I picked a color long ago
To suit my tawdry tales of woe
And now it doesn’t fit.

Well, my friend who’s a fan of shades
Travelled to the everglades,
And asked if I’d come with.
There’s no one I would rather see -
She’s (He's) a special friend to me.
But I feel I’d be leaving you behind.

That’s the game of love and war -
Choose a side your fighting for,
See if there’s a white flag to be raised.
I know it’s not a fair assessment
But I can’t be asked to wrestle with the colors of who you’ve now become;
‘Cause you and I we’re not the same
And neither can be held to blame
It’s just the way the story has to end.

Being here and being there
There’s no space for being where
I feel I should be.

Loneliness is like a drink
I think you’re on the verge of sink-
ing when you tame the sea.

Interims are good for suckers
Feeling like they’re down on luck
And I’m not going to drown in my own tears.

I can’t ask you anymore
To be the one that I adore
Only when the time is right for me.
So lets just be." ~Kyle Forester


:) I can't wait to see the movie!

prayin'

It's that time!!!!!! BRING IT!!!!!



Lord, give me grace and dancing feet

And the power to impress
Lord, give me grace and dancing feet
Let me outshine them all
Is it so wrong to crave recognition?
2nd best runner up
Is it so wrong to want rewarding?
To want more, than is given to you
Tonight make me unstoppable
And I will charm I will slice I will dazzle them with my wit
Tonight make me unstoppable
And I will charm I will slice I will dazzle
I will outshine them all
Standing on the packed dance floor
Our bodies throb in time
Silent on the weekdays
Tonight I claim what s mine
Is it so wrong to crave recognition?
2nd best runner up
Is it so wrong to want rewarding?
To want more, than is given to you

brief...

...enlightenment...(esp. at minute 2:00 to the end)



"You must understand it, go into it, examine it, give your heart and your mind, with everything that you have, to find out a way of living differently. That depends on you, and not on someone else, because in this there is no teacher, no pupil; there is no leader; there is no guru; there is no Master, no Saviour. You yourself are the teacher and the pupil; you are the Master; you are the guru; you are the leader; you are everything. And to understand is to transform what is." ~JK

He's my new favorite - I don't know what to call him, as he would not like it if I called him a theologian, teacher, philosopher - so he is just my "favorite." :)

His words strike a spark in my thoughts. Something resonates, but I can't put my finger on it. Maybe I'm not meant to.

Gears that haven't moved in a long time have begun to free themselves of the dust of random facts and theories collected on them thus far. Here's to wishing they will keep spinning with fresh insights.

Oh, you think you're going to fail boards?  Why didn't you say so?  There's a support group for that.  It's called everybody and they meet at the library." ~Dubs

23rd baby. I pushed it back. haha! :D

Please note: The Backstreet Boys have nothing to do with this post, and everything to do with an epic brain fart.

response

So, I sent that awesome quote to my buddy Dubs (who wants to be an orthopedic surgeon), and here's what he had to say:

"Haha. Very true. And then you realize it's a picture of you, being a podiatrist. "

AHAHAHA! Hilarious.

overload

I've been up since 5 every day...my boards are 30 days away. Wow. Just wow.

This is how I feel about the information overload:
"You get to see every puzzle piece again only this time (after two years) you know what the fucking picture on the box is supposed to be. It’s amazing how much everything starts sliding into place." ~Topher

Those words are absolute perfection. Absolute.

 

breaking

Well, this is ironic. This morning I broke my first wooden board. O.o I'll be honest - I was practicing on a plastic one a couple of times and then got into a conversation about how different it might be to do so on a wooden one (considering which way the fibers run, blah blah). And so, my instructor disappeared and reappeared with a real wooden board and asked me to break it. haha!

I kind of just stared at it in brief horror. I mean - me against SOLID WOODEN BOARD.

I could hear my instructor say "Nothing but confidence." And then I did it. :)

Today, I broke a wooden board. It didn't hurt, it was not half as difficult as I thought it would be, and it certainly was not worth fretting over because despite my insecure feelings about my competency I was prepared.

Now - it's time for me to break The Boards. As Dubs said, "The Board exam is shaking in its boots right now." hahahahaa! :D

tick tock....
