Miss Teen South Carolina as an orthopaedic resident ...

Question: What are the treatment options for treating this elbow fracture?


"I personally believe that the distal humerus elbow is difficult to treat because, uhmmm, some elbows people have are different and uh, I believe that elbows, operations like such as uh, the knee, and uh, the spine, everywhere like such as, and I believe that elbows should, uhhh, our operations of the elbow should help the distal humerus, uh, should be like the knee, it should help the spine and the shoulder so we will be able to place screws and rods, for the fixation."

I think we may have interviewed this guy ....

I was catching up on my blog reading and ran across this on Scalpel or Sword. please don't try this at home.

Imjussayin ...

As I have proposed previously, I think that there should be the additions the Webster's dictionary. Words such as FFT (fan-f#%k!n-tastic) and EFT (enter-f#%k!n-taining) should have their place in Websters. I can see I have a chance of making Webster's seeing that the word ginormous has just made it into the new dictionary. My next push will be for Imjussayin. Jump on the bandwagon now. We are about to make history.

Ode to the intern ...

(I'm no poet, just feeling bit little silly)


It is the beginning of July and the hospital is a scurry.
They all walk in such a hurry.

With their clean new badges, and long white coats;
they come with plans of how to complete all their notes.

The nurses all worry about interns running amok;
and raise questions about when to have the next pot luck.

The residents all glow with their present new positions,
ready to send their team on exciting new missions.

The chiefs set the rules and seem quite nervous;
showing them how to keep the patients off their service.

The rules of engagement are what they explain;
because a sense of order they must maintain.

So to the all new interns, you will see
as you walk through the hospital with your new MD
your training hasn't ended, it has only just begun.
In the next year, you will have a lot of fun.
There will be ups and down, highs and lows
and hopefully you can keep coffee off of your clothes.

So I wish you all good luck on your present quest,
and now please go home and get lots of rest.

It's like peanut butter, cheese, and bacon ...

“Believe me! The secret of reaping the greatest fruitfulness and the greatest enjoyment from life is to live dangerously!”

~Friedrich Nietzche

You know there are some things we do and say that make everything better. Like for example, peanut butter, cheese, and bacon. Add any of the scrumptious items to a dish and it is ten times better. This also goes for fake cheesy powder or spread. I think it may be even better if you have to lick it off of your fingers. (mmm mmmm good)

There are a few words that have this effect as well. They can make something great even better, like a pan seared scallop wrapped in bacon. In slang or in speaking with the unsophisticated folks like myself, they can be used like gerunds and participles. One such word is fuckin'. Notice this is not the curse word, f!c(ing. This is like bi+(h verses Biatch. A word like f#%k!n' can make something that is already great so much better.

So, in the future I predict that there will be a trend to introduce some of these new words into the Webster's Dictionary. I can see thinks like fan-f#%k!n'-tastic (FFT) or the very orthopaedic ana-f#%k!n'-tomic (AFT) used as freely as many other word are used today. People will answer questions like "how are you" with answers like f#%k!n'-great or or ff#%k!n'-awesome. It may even be added to high school education once everything is done on-line and no one has to go to school anymore.

This is the future of language as I see it and our time will come. This is the Nuevo English language. But for now, we will have to keep these words to ourselves and use acronyms like a teenage text message.
