TGIF

whew. i know i really can't complain but I feel like this week has been forever long. new year's eve was great but it was hard dragging ourselves back to louisville. it was even more difficult waking up and having class from 8-4 on wednesday, class from 8-5 then clinic from 530-730 on thursday, and class again today from 9-445. Even though the days have been long, one thing i actually love about med school are the absolute random comments and conversations i've heard in between the team based learning sessions, and covering over 95 pages of pharmacology in 3 days. i'm convinced you can't become a doctor without having a twisted sense of humor. you have to delight in the smallest moments.....i know it's what gets me through the day. here are just a few comments i've heard the past few days...

whatdya ya studying over there?..... the Uvula?
the what? which section are you in?...the Uvula....are you sure?
Oh! HaHa! It's the Vulva! wow.
Are you dyslexic?
Not with letters, just with numbers.

during a pharm lecture:
What the hell did she just say?
i have no idea, i'm not sure she's even speaking english.
i'll i've gotten is....uh hum. *cough* sorry (tap tap tap)
what did she say?.......Apocrine.
What?....Apocrine.....why did i not hear that
that's the only word i've gotten so far.

did anyone understand any of that? there was like 38 equations.
well atleast we dont have to know those last 5 with the stars by them.
that lecture. wow.
yeah uh steve.....how many tutors are we going to have available for pharm?

you know they just aren't getting it. you cant take these doctors on cocaine who've been junkies for awhile and treat them like doctors while they're in rehab. you're never going to help them.

do you think if someone is coming in for the results of their HIV test, you're really gonna sit there and chat it up for 15 minutes before you tell them it came up negative?

it was good that you picked up on that. i probably just by passed it and figured he was someone who sticks things in his ears.

why is it when we come to medical school we have to learn how to be pharmacists....dentists...nurses.....the nutritionist...counselors.....i'm not gonna remember this crap, i'll just call the pharmacy or refer them to someone else.

I hear the elderly population has the fastest growing rate of STDs.

So we really don't get to use a calculator on the quiz. i CANT do natural log in my HEAD!

So are you and your wife going to have another baby?
yeah probably this time next year. then that's it if it's a girl.
good luck with that, i've heard there are different positions to try that guarantee a girl.
yeah right. there's like thousands of sperm. i might as well be cheering "come on X"
you know you could always have those spun down and implant an X to get a girl, but i dont think that's very natural really.
sure it is. natural selection.

a condom for that? really? that never would have even crossed my mind. I mean who is really going around doing that to random people?
15 year old high school girls. that's who.
well, i'm not going to ask some old guy that. people shouldnt be allowed to have sex once they are like 65. that's nasty.
what? that's so wrong. it's not like you have to watch them or anything. so you're saying someone like brad pitt...when he turns 65, he cant do that anymore?
well.....him i'll allow.

are you and matt gonna have a baby when we graduate?
uh...probably sometime during residency.
good. you guys will make cute babies. short. but cute.

.......and finally, to end my week with a comment from my wonderful husband.....

e: i wouldnt kiss me, my breath stinks.

m: oh! wow!....yeah that's real heavy...smells like morning breath...and cheese.

i hope you're able to enjoy those special "moments" during your day ;)
