Upon hear­ing of such grand doc­torly names as “Galaxy” and “Omar”, at my time at Sun­shine Hos­pital (where the weather is determ­inedly over­cast), I began to feel that my own title was per­haps inad­equate. It was at this point that I began to see the tech­nical lan­guage of my chosen career, that of medi­cine, as a treas­ure trove […]

As it turns out, I was wrong. There is some­thing worse than the afore­men­tioned scen­ario. You could also have a chocol­ate milk addic­tion, and as a res­ult, also require a Swaz­arian Sec­tion (where they take the baby out through an incision roughly the size and shape of Swazi­l­and), and your baby gets born with cocoa crav­ings.
Howwible. Tewwible. Nightmawish even.

In a cel­eb­ra­tion of Post #102, I have decided to com­pile a list of small humor­ous bits and pieces which on their own would not be worthy of a post! Many of these are almost, in them­selves, follow-ups to past posts, and thus, almost a retrospective! Yay!

Med­ical terms that I have been called recently:

Tylenol

Just when the idea of being awake at 5:30am study­ing for an exam in four hours became truly unbear­able, a clas­sic quote emerges from my Psy­chi­atry text­book:
“Frot­tage is where men rub them­selves against women, becom­ing sexu­ally excited pos­sibly to orgasm. These men are the scourge of mass transit sys­tems dur­ing rush hours.”
–Found­a­tions of Clin­ical Psy­chi­atry, Bloch […]
