What an action-packed week! Sunday I went ahead and splurged on the new cotton/linen suit for summer since I couldn’t beat the price, and picked up another pair of cufflinks as well. Amy invited me over to watch the drunken debauchery of her friends, and when they built their bonfire, I could feel every sphincter […]

Last night I slept downstairs on my couch with the screen doors open since it was too warm to sleep upstairs in my actual bedroom. This morning I received a visit from the local sheriff to check on me because my doors were open all night! Apparently one of my neighbors was concerned enough to […]
It shouldn’t surprise anyone that I’m a bit of a geek. While I read comic books as a kid, I wasn’t into them as much as some of my friends. Regardless of this, I still love comic book movies and will see them in theaters instead of waiting for the DVDs. Lately the movies have […]
One of the neat things about where I went to college is that my classmates seem to be doing well. I just turned on "Mind of Mencia" on Comedy Central, and lo and behold, I saw one of my schoolmates acting on the show! I was in a sketch comedy troupe called The Fifth Humour […]
What a long day! Three cases, a 5 PM admission, and then I waited in the hospital for a patient who was supposed to come into the ER. She arrived at 7 with a burn that was as serious as a sunburn. At that point I realized that I had wasted my evening. And I […]
And by cheap, I don’t mean their services. I mean that as a whole, we’re pretty frugal. This evening I went to a free dinner held by our local Pfizer rep, Barry, at Shula’s Steak House which I couldn’t miss. Of course, a few of us residents came to enjoy free filet mignon, and even […]
Argh! For every one good thing that happens (free drug rep dinner at Scholar’s yesterday, free drug rep dinner at Shula’s tomorrow), eleventy-seven sucky things happen to me. We’ve been crazy busy in the burn unit, as people just can’t seem to resist burning themselves or their kids. Of course, alcohol and stupidity seem […]
Today I got some excitement at work. I had just left after rounding in the morning and was dropping off a load of film (yes, an actual roll of film from an actual film camera - I was using it up) at Meijer when I got called by the ER. Turns out we had a […]
Yay! This is the final weekend call that I have on this rotation. After the Friday-Saturday-Sunday trifecta of pain that will keep me a relative shut-in this weekend, I’ll finally be able to live like a normal person! Well, not a *normal* person, but a "more normaler" one.
I knew I was boring before, but now […]
I was on home call again last night, and as expected, I get a call about someone who burned himself with oven cleaner intentionally (and not his first time, either) who needed to be admitted. So I go to the hospital, look at the burn (not too bad, but may be a little deep) and […]
