Ladies and Gentlemen, big cities are bad news. Yeah sure they have lots of things going on, but they are bad news. I have come to the conclusion that I should not live in a large city, but rather a small metropolitan area. Big cities are good to go to for short periods of time. Any longer than that, they are hazardous to your health. I guess people in big cities would enjoy going to a small area or mountain resort for a vacation. One of the benefits of living in a small city is that you can go to a big city and have an awesome time. You experience things that you dont normally but you dont have to be constantly surrounded by it. Good times folks.

April Fools

Yeah so I know that its no longer April 1 which is why this is an April Fool's Post. The shear stupidity of people often amazes me. In the ER last night there were two 20 something people that came in with Boxer's fractures. Then they proceed to give the most ridiculous history for how they came about with these injuries. I wanted to say "come on people that makes no sense" I don't understand why people constantly lie to emergency room physicians. It not like they are going to be judged for what they did. Well lets be honest they will but it really has no bearing on them whatsoever. The only thing they are doing is hurting themselves because given a mechanism of injury we can evaluate the possibility of other injuries that would otherwise be missed. So people, when going to an ER give the whole story and it is only going to benefit you. Don't be stupid people. Tell the truth the whole truth and nothing but the truth.

More Thoughts

I have come the realization that my friends have much cooler lives than I do. Recently talking with some of my close friends I realized that their lives could make for some very interesting reality tv if not a made for tv movie. My life would be relegated to the bargin bin at Borders. The last time I was walking through Barnes and Nobel, I saw a book written by a surgical intern and several books entitled match day. I didn't realize that others had such an interest in the job market for medical students. So I am going to get a journal and start writing about my journey through my intern year and maybe it will be published. Just a thought.

Back at It

I keep getting emails from my advisor saying 63 days left until graduation. Its like they are intentionally trying to remind me that my care free life is slowly dying. Its like a sick game they are playing. People always bitch about how hard school is. Well at least when you are in school no ones life is in your hands and there is someone responsible for you. Now that has kinda gone out the window. Who decided that we can care for people. Im telling you all now...avoid any hospitals starting June 22 and lasting until October sometime. This is good advice.
