    What do fellow men prefer here; blonds, brunettes or redheads?

    Not on my primary list of issues. Need someone I can talk with – without getting a head cramp trying to figure out the conversation.

    Between med stu blonde-head Drew and book ed red-head Becca I would have to choose Becca. Both women are cerebral, without doubt, but Becca seems more mature, more confident in her skin, and more worldly wise.


    Drew seems more innocent, more vulnerable, perhaps more frightened, She said med school doesn’t give her time to date, but I go to a med school as an obsserver, a patient, and to participate in discussions that are open to the public, including many students.


    Most seems to be dating, or to have significant others, or to be already married. That’s why I think Drew my be psychologically frightened of a full-on female-male relationship. She seems not to be ready.


    That’s why I would choose the juicy Becca over the equally juicy Drew.

    med students have no life. it is all about work and study. good thing too, since they will be fixing us up when stuff happens. after med school, rotation, internship, residency, fellowship, passing the boards, and finally get that license.

    That has to be the dumbest line I’ve ever heard.

    Unfortunately, many of them also find the easy access to drugs too much to resist … especially given the workloads and stress they are expected to endure.

    Ever hung around a med school for ten years? Ever noticed all the couples in the student gym? In the internet cafes round about? In the movie theaters? In the American Indian run casinos for whole weekends and vacation breaks of gambling and “dating”?


    The key, says one professor, is FORGETTING. You learn the anat, the phys, the pharmacol, etc. with near photographic memory, regurgitate it out on the tests, deliberately forget it all while you take a break, then start the cycle all over again.


    I have a nephew who is now an M.D., a specialist in anesthesiology. He went through med school with a wife and three little kids — WITH WHOM HE DID SPEND QUALITY TIME EVERY DAY. Now he’s been out for several years and engaged in very successful practice in the Portland area.

    “It was a very bad breakup. In fact, she killed herself. She texted me all about it. And I never got to meet her in person.”

    Jeez, the poor kid. In med school.

    Why did such a smart young woman go into the profession of medicine with Obamacare grinding away to destroy not only the economy in general but the health care sector particularly?

    She may have aced the STEM curriculum at M.I.T., but if she had any economics courses, they had to have been thoroughly Thurow’d into gaping idiocy.

    She was going to go into cartooning, but then she realized she’d have to put up with trolls who politicize everything, so she decided to try something easier.
