i'm almost done with my 2nd week of internal medicine. which i LOATHE. it's terrbile. the first problem is that half our patients are old. we're talking how-on-earth-have-you-lived-this-long old. they can't hear and they don't bathe regularly. the other half have a list of medical problems longer than life itself. they're crabby and non-compliant. and some of them don't bathe regularly either.
the second problem is that the doctor i'm with is slow. i don't mean short-bus slow. just flat out slow. he speaks so slowly and deliberately that i think occasionally, i doze off between words. it's bad.
the third problem, which really doesn't bother me until i think about how much i'm paying for this month of my education, is that i don't see any of the office patients on my own. i only get to see patients on my own if they are in the hospital (of which we've had three the past two weeks...) and otherwise i just follow him around all day. horrible!

the other day we had a patient named earl. earl had the hairiest ears i'd ever seen. i couldn't stop staring.

i spent the majority of this afternoon contemplating whether or not it was acceptable to meet a guy in the laundromat. on one hand, he's at the laundromat, which means he probably doesn't live with his parents (because he's at the laundromat) and he probably doesn't have a serious girlfriend (who'd do his laundry for him... or at least with him). but on the other hand, it's the laundromat. and there are some pretty different sorts of people at the laundromat. what's your opinion? (just for the record, he was really cute, and clean as far as i could tell.)

Hey, people have to meet SOMEWHERE. One thing to keep an eye out for...what sort of clothes is he washing/wearing. Are they Goodwill store I-can't-afford-anything and that's why he HAS to go to a laundromat? Or does it look like he dresses nicely and just happens to use the laundromat right now because he can't afford to buy his own washer dryer because all his money is tied up paying for law school. Second case...game on.
I completely agree with Stace...check out his duds and go from there...oh and check out what brand of soap he is using...does he use softner or does he like it rough?! LOL! Let us know how it pans out.
Oh and I laughed out load about the guy with the ear hair...hilarious! Like a car wreck, you can't help but stare! LOL! Awesome!
P.S. What the hell is he eating? Is that a crawfish?
ha! it's a shrimp. a WHOLE shrimp. with feet. and eyes. it was disgusting!
That is vile! I don't think I could do it with the eyes...
Shrimp says: "Don't mind the tear coming out of my eye, just keep telling yourself it's butter!"
haha!
How come Mark looks like he has a "Hitler mustache"?
funny... it's his shadow on the wall behind him. i didn't realize what you meant (i looked at the big version of the picture before the little one - which looks more like a shadow, less like a hitler mustache.)
