I Love You Martini, But You Gotta Stop...

Airclaims abound...did you learn that in eyeball school too?

No, in eyeball school I learned that when a really fat person comes in to your exam room before they sit in the chair, release the arms and raise them or else the person may get stuck.

Did you ever notice when you go to a doctor the arms of the chair are up? Now you know why.

That's awfully peevish. You sound upset.

It's a good thing you're an eyeball doctor, I mean how would you know how to use the chair properly otherwise?

I learned on the job @Lily. But you already know this, and you know I'm right about the arms of the chair.

I bet as you read my post, the lightbulb came on, even though you didn't want it to.

Anecdotal story.

A fat person did actually get stuck in between the arms of the chair once. By the time the paramedics got her using the jaws of life, we had already canceled the next two patients. She could have been your sister for all I know.

Where did you practice? Was it in California?

There are only two fat women in America, right? Myself and my sister, and you met us both.

I can see why you didn't make it to medical school...

Why would you ask me if I practiced in California?

Sort of an oddball question and I'll answer it if you tell me why you asked it.

To have met my sister, you would have to have practiced in CA, duh.

Then it wasn't your sister.

No, she's not.

She has a doctorate, but she's also not really a doctor.

Only douchey people that aren't actually doctors take the title seriously.. Yes, they are out there.

Somebody should have pulled Jill up when she was demanding others refer to her as Dr.....


Lol

Yeah, embarrassing.

My boss was a doctor, I called her by her first name. I respected her as a professional and as a person, but she didn't stand on titles. She was fairly well-grounded, imo.

Well yeah, my staff called me by my first name as well, but not in front of the patients. In front of them they would say "the douchebag over there who calls himself doctor will see you now".

At first I didn't like it very much but I sort of got used to it towards the end.

I remember after a conversation I was having with her about some health topic she said to me:

"You should have gone to medical school." She was an internist by training. I knew to her it was a compliment, but I can't handle oozing, blood, and bad smells...nothing much more could gross me out.

I just smiled and made some noncommittal comment. I know I had her respect. And she went to Stanford as an undergrad and Yale for medical school...she wasn't an intellectual lightweight.

Its just a jumble of letters and numbers

You know that you mean the world to me, but I cannot sit back and watch this fiasco any longer. Martini, dear, no one is going to come running to read any of the garbage here, or any of the posters. There's absolutely no redeeming value in any of this. It's like eating cotton candy all day without the sugar. I think it's very sweet you think grown ups and young adults would find this entertaining, but stop. No one in their right mind would spend the their evening reading admin's last gasps of homosexual insanity, as he tries to stuff as many cocks as he can down his throat.

This lot is hopeless. The problem is there are no posters in their 20's, everyone here are old fucks. I guess that's a good thing, seeing that admin and rancidpervo-O reside here.

That there Poofter isn’t still selling the same ol’snake oil is he? I likes dat about him.

You sort of get used to it. Or, when you experience it, you find it's not nearly as bad as you expected.

They had us working with cadavers in eye doctor school. Yeah, you're probably thinking, what's an optometrist need cadavers for. Well, they needed to fill a 4 year curriculum and keep the professors employed.

Anyway if someone told me I'd be looking inside dead body cavities and picking up sawed off pieces of heads with brains on one side and a moustache on the other (not kidding) I would have freaked out.

But when you do it, there's nothing to it.

Poofy is one of my favourites…he reminds us all that a cautionary fail is still pertinent in the context of our own modernity!

Maybe you're right. I actually don't think it's quite right that you have to 4 years of optometry, podiatry or even dental school to function as eye doctors, podiatrists or dentists.

Seems like a scam. I say a bachelor's and two year programs would do the job. US medicine has a tight lid on what anyone that's not an MD can do.

Did you have to do internship and residency as well?

The perneous longus can take quite a while to study and master lass, and there are plenty more tender tendons in the foot that can end up in the mouth.

Only an internship. Choice of working in a hospital or clinic for 6 months during the 4th year.

The entire curriculum could have been condensed to 1 or 2 years. How to flip lenses, fit contact lenses, how to diagnose ocular pathology and how to either treat or refer a few dozen eye conditions that you're likely to run into during 30 years of practice. Child's play, really. No wonder it's become such a popular profession. That much said, I don't miss it.
