I'm taking a Continuing Education course on STD/HIV today and tomorrow.

I'm thinking of calling it 'Continuing Ed-vacation', instead. It's such a relief to have a few days off from the stresses of clinic.

Things are off to a good start. The first lecturer referenced Michelle Bachmann's idiocy regarding Human Papilloma Virus, and I got off a good joke at Crazy Lady's expense. The whole room laughed. It was fun...

Looking forward to some good learning the next couple of days...

1. Lets hope it isn't "hands on" so to speak.

I know, I know - not a subject to joke about.

2. And no graphic pictures either ala the old VD films.

So Aristus, what was the joke? Please share.

3. It was an audience response question.

The question was: "What was the specific virus about which Michelle Bachmann spread so much misinformation last year". The answer, of course, is the Human Papilloma Virus. 100% of the attendees answered correctly. I responded by saying: "100%, incidentally, is a score the Michelle Bachmann has never, ever received on any test."

That broke up the room.

I saw a lot of Obama 2012 bumper stickers in the parking lot this morning...

4. Excellent

Well, someone has to represent the left side of the Bell curve.

5. My dear Aristus!

Aren't Continuing Ed classes great? I always loved going!

Learn cool stuff, and have a great day or two off from work...wow.

Loved your joke, too...

Have fun!

6. I learned some terrific new stuff that will help me in clinic.

New and alternate ways of testing & diagnosing STD's. Plus techniques for obtaining a more comprehensive patient history. Good day all around.

I always appreciate your encouragement, CalPeg...
