No, and leave your excess 'u's behind.

Seriously though, congrats. :beer:

Well, unless you're holding your arm up into your vagina, its not really my area of expertise

Shouldn't you research that and find out why?

If by my vagina you mean your mom's, then yes.

No no I have. I just think about if I want to put myself through so much more schooling.

I have a desire to go back to grad school. MS at the very least. I would prefer a PhD. But even getting a PhD is a walk in the park compared with a PhD MD because of the time involvement. And it isn't just about getting the degree and then life is good. there is still a large ramp up period with getting experience. i'd be interested in clinical monitoring - especially hemodynamics. Being realistic, till I could be a pimp (ie: publish my own papers, defining the direction), it'll be 20 years when its all said and done.
Of course, it is the same period of time if I work in the industry....but I'm not going to be forgoing as much income being a student and then a post doc.

That, and, most doctors I know tell me they'd prefer their kids doing finance or engineering

edit:

did you lock me? Man I was about to have some fun mods are vigilant today

 

[ShOcKwAvE827]

hmm, what residency program are you doing?

OB/Gyn... intern year isn't too bad, I have 2 weekends off in August to look forward to... Besides, I've only worked 252.5 hours since July first so I can't complain

Stupid question: Why do they work interns like that? It seems like you would retain more information by working a schedule that lets you get some sleep once in a while.
