Bring on the Vaginas!

I just completed my Pediatrics rotation. I held on for the first 5 weeks of the rotation without getting sick and then, like a moron, I cursed myself and told people how I didn't get sick the whole rotation. Tada! I got a URI during the last week of my rotation (that's Upper Respiratory Infection or lots of snot in my nose for those of you not medically inclined).
It was a good rotation. I rotated with James Simmons, MD. He's a great doctor and a lot of fun, mostly because he just teases everyone relentlessly. He wasn't able to completely break me of my uptightness (I just can't get comfortable with this being a doctor thing), but he did get me to briefly display my rapping skills.
My favorite moment was when a 6-year old patient was checking out and Dr. Simmons came up to me and told me that this kid had a girlfriend with a bald spot and that the boy liked to suck his thumb and rub her bald spot. That in and of itself is hilarious. The the kid retaliated and said "yeah, well I saw your wife and...". I didn't hear the rest because I was laughing hysterically as Dr. Simmons pointed out to the boy that his wife was standing right there. The boy bolted out of the office. It was fantastic.
Next up 6 weeks of OB/GYN. I'll be sure to let everyone know whether I pass out or vomit at any point during this rotation

RUB HER BALD SPOT?! WHAT THE?!!! Oh, and good luck with the whole vagina thing...they're icky.

Also, here's my quote of the week.
"It really RUFFLES me when some GOOBER tells me I have to spend half of my PAYDAY on a HOT DOG."
TEEHEE!

I swear, if a vagina had teeth it would be a monster. When we got to the reproductive system in A&P 2it frightened me. I am so glad I was done having children or I might never have had kids. Vaginas are scary, ugly. Plus I couldn't stop chuckling when the instructor took the t.v. remote and tried to show us the dorsal side of the penis. FUNNY!!!

I will pray for you that you don't have to look at any vaginas that look like axe wounds!!!

And hopefully all your lady patients use Masingal on their lady bits before they come visit you.
