Who would have thought...

[Pierre.Suave]

that the University of Minnesota Medical School would TIE with Harvard University for 13th place in the rankings of the top Medical Schools for Primary care?

I am flabbergasted. I will be starting Med School in August at the University of Minnesota.

YAY ME!

1. Wait...YOU are gonna be a doctor?

[Pierre.Suave]

2. yes

hopefully.

Why?

[flvegan]

10. I think you should

reconsider your engagement and marry me, poopykins. You AND your 'script pad.

:rofl:

What kind of medicine are you interested in practicing?

[Pierre.Suave]

15. See Below.

Trauma and Pediatrics.

Edit: I think Leftymom would beat me up if I did that. ;)

[flvegan]

18. Via the Navy?

Cool.

My college roomie did the same thing (USAF though) and went the trauma route. He does gastrointestinal somethingorother now.

Can I call you Dr. J?

[Pierre.Suave]

19. I guess

I have been called worse.

[Parche]

3. Are you Studying Proctology?

:shrug: :hi:

[Pierre.Suave]

4. No

actually, if the Navy pays for it, I will be a Trauma Doc.

[quip]

7. Trauma doc; proctologist.... same diff

:rofl:

Mooooon river!

[quip]

5. Jason always said he'd get you in the end!

:hi:

[Pierre.Suave]

8. LOL

Can I get a cool License Plate like Kramer did on that particular Seinfeld episode where he pretended to be a proctologist?

I think it was "ASSMAN"

[quip]

16. Or "2POOCME"

:rofl: :hi:

[Pierre.Suave]

17. Ah yes

like the Urologist you mentioned before...

[quip]

20. Hey, I did post that before (I couldn't remember if I had)

hehe a little kaka variant, because..... kaka pasa. :thumbsup:

[Pierre.Suave]

21. well

I remember almost everything, it is just the way my brain works.

[trackfan]

6. Well, Minnesota has a history as a center of

great medical care, doesn't it?

[Pierre.Suave]

12. Yes, it does

We have the Mayo Clinic and the U, but I never thought the school itself would tie with Harvard.

9. My dear jasonc!

Congrats on your incipient medical career!

Trauma, huh...

Good luck with that, sweetie!

You have to be agile: both mentally, and physically...:scared:

Best of luck with all your studies!

:hi:

[Pierre.Suave]

14. Thanks Peggy

yeah, Trauma. Or Pediatrics, which I think would be more fun in the long run, but the Navy wants to pay for my school, and I am thinking I will let them. So trauma it will be, at least until I am done in the Navy and can get into a Pediatric residency.

11. Congratulations! I applied there years ago...

but they didn't look too kindly on my bombing the organic chem part of the MCAT.

[Pierre.Suave]

13. yeah

that would not be a good thing to do.
