A Jolly Company: Science and Religion
http://jollycompany.blogspot.com/2006/02/science-and-religion.html
Life, the universe, and medical residency. Saturday, February 25, 2006. A very smart friend of mine, who is more widely read on this topic than I, recently posited several questions to me. I'm going to selectively quote her below, followed by my thoughts. Yes, I'm lazy in just quoting some emails, but also I think the questions are important, and well-phrased by Apollonia. What does that mean for the scientist? In that sense, science is utterly subordinate to religion, or more properly, to faith, for rel...

Behind the Scalpel, Scores, and Textbooks: Rank Order List Advice
http://medstudentspouse.blogspot.com/2010/02/rank-order-list-advice.html
Tuesday, February 23, 2010. Rank Order List Advice. On her blog, Marissa Nicole. Has discussed oh she and her husband have used their parents as a resource when creating their list. I think this is wonderful, but Mr. and I didn't opt to involve our parents much in the decision making. Part of this is because I already basically know the advice. So, who have we actually gone to for advice? While there are better schools in other cities on our list, they tend to train attorneys to work in those states, and...

Addicted to Medblogs: April 2012
http://medblog-groupie.blogspot.com/2012_04_01_archive.html
It is as though someone has drilled peep holes into the walls of emergency rooms, operating rooms and doctors' offices. I can't look away. Tuesday, April 17, 2012. I Dream of TBTAM. Leave it to Beaver. I am a boarder in this beautiful house. The house is bright and sunny. My room is gorgeous, filled with fresh flowers. Everything is white. I wake up and smell cigar smoke. I go across the hall, and TBTAM. Is sitting in a rocking chair smoking a cigar. Then I wake up. Freaky, huh? Friday, April 06, 2012.

Addicted to Medblogs: Dr. October is ...MDOD
http://medblog-groupie.blogspot.com/2007/10/dr-october-is-mdod.html
It is as though someone has drilled peep holes into the walls of emergency rooms, operating rooms and doctors' offices. I can't look away. Thursday, October 25, 2007. Dr October is .MDOD. When I started the Calendar Doc series, I knew the MDOD docs were going to be Drs. October-Halloween Edition. I’ve always thought the MDOD site was. Post, I asked for 911DOC’s permission because I was afraid to send my 15 readers over there unannounced. Q1 I think at least one of y'all is a girl. Am I right? Censored-so...

It is as though someone has drilled peep holes into the walls of emergency rooms, operating rooms and doctors' offices. I can't look away. Tuesday, December 25, 2007. Dr December is . . . GruntDoc.

This wasn’t the picture I originally chose for GruntDoc, but 10/10 called him Grandpa GruntDoc. Twas the Blog Before Christmas. Here’s my interview with GruntDoc:. Q1 On one post. You are supposed to...

A Jolly Company: Growing old together
http://jollycompany.blogspot.com/2008/04/growing-old-together.html
Life, the universe, and medical residency. Monday, April 07, 2008. Twenty years hence my eyes may grow,. If not quite dim, yet rather so;. Yet yours from others they shall know,. 60 years of gentle harassment? Before the husband could say anything else, his wife replied: "Best decision I ever made. And I figure we're good for another 15 or so.". I've been smiling all week remembering the look they gave each other at that point. Monday, April 07, 2008. April 07, 2008 8:37 AM. Grow old along with me! A fam...

A Jolly Company: Hope
http://jollycompany.blogspot.com/2008/07/hope.html
Life, the universe, and medical residency. Monday, July 28, 2008. My one question is, can I have this at home? Those were almost the last words he said before we put the endotracheal tube down his throat and started breathing for him. Mr. Baker was an old, old man with lungs that had pretty much given up on him. Thanks to the miracle of modern medicine, he now has at least a few weeks of drug-induced sleep ahead of him before he can rest eternally. I wanted to write about that. About how I've been fo...

A Jolly Company: Parenthood
http://jollycompany.blogspot.com/2006/04/parenthood.html
Life, the universe, and medical residency. Monday, April 24, 2006. I recommend reading it all, it isn't long. But this struck me first:. Your children] come through you but not from you,. And though they are with you, yet they belong not to you. It was that line which pointed out the essential silliness of my conclusions. Children, any children, even mine, should I ever have any, belong only to themselves and to G-d. Gibran follows that thought with:. For life goes not backward nor tarries with yesterday.

A Jolly Company: Patients I don't like
http://jollycompany.blogspot.com/2006/01/patients-i-dont-like.html
Life, the universe, and medical residency. Tuesday, January 24, 2006. Patients I don't like. The Zen Master is a really good doctor. Despite his unassuming manner, his constant mention of what he doesn't know, and his cynical commentary about patients like this, he considers closely the cost of what he orders, he considers the patient as a whole, and he takes into account the quirks of human nature. And he is always learning new ways to improve. Tuesday, January 24, 2006. January 24, 2006 9:16 PM. Into t...
