Here's me as a resident. Note the "ER mullet" (scrub top worn with khakis). ;)

Lesse... leaning to this one... Violent enough

I did a screen capture and then opened the resulting image in a graphics editing program and cropped it.

I can tell you exactly what to do if you have a Mac, but if you're using Windows, you're on your own.

Press Print Screen, then open MS Paint, crop and save :thumbup:
 
Thanks Kent.:thumbup:

I think we all have to give you a round of applause! :clap:

Just seeing that you have time to actually post on SDN means that you have a life and that FP is good! I just hope people keep straying away from it so it can be better for me and reimbursements will rise :laugh:
 
She needs simpler instructions...

Press Control + PrtScn

then click on start then all programs then accessories then paint.

Press control + V

Go to the corner and drag the corner diagonall to reduce the image dimensions until only the pasted image is there.

Flip the image horizontally and vertically and do the same (reduce the image dimensions till only the avatar is there).

(On a software like corel photoshop, you can simply crop after you paste.)

Well, "she" actually has a Mac, naturally, so maybe she should get directions from one of her own people. ;)

Command-Shift-3 to capture the screen (the file appears on the Desktop). Open the file in Preview. Choose Tools/Select Tool from the menu. The cursor changes to crosshairs. Draw a box around the area you want to crop. Choose Tools/Crop (or press Command+K) to crop the selected area. Choose File/Save As and save the file as a GIF or JPG. Voila! :)

If you need to resize the photo to make it an avatar (150x150 pixels), you'll need something other than Preview. I use Graphic Converter ( http://www.lemkesoft.com/ ).

Traitor. I find your lack of faith... disturbing.

Does my ultra cool new avatar make up for your disappointment in me?

I seriously can't believe the technical leap I just made. Thanks, Kent! (Granted, my software developer husband was sitting right next to me telling me how to use the file converter...but I'm still quite pleased with myself!)

Don't ask how it is that I am managing to hold the beer while in the straight jacket...I-just-am. It's a metaphor for my current state of being.

Be afraid. Be very afraid.
 
Very nice, Sophiejane! Levitating a pint whilst straitjacketed is no small feat. :)

I can't see Faebinder's picture, though. Must be some sort of Jedi mind trick. ;)
 
Angelfire is a bitchy website server, I redid it though i saw it the first time i posted it..

Shh!


Kent is very atypical! Most FM docs work 65+ hours per week and make no where near $150K...



Nothing to see here...keep moving
 
Ya... stop that please... less people should go to FM.
 
I'm loving this :love:

I think we need to start a thread for the "Downfall of FM" and how salaries hover around $50k and PA's and NP's make more than FP's in the same office :scared:

I think there are a few threads like that already in the Clinicians Forum. ;)
 
My brother's wife's ex-husband's college buddy is a family doc who used to work only 60 hours a week. Because of steadily declining reimbursements, he had to start eating Kraft easy mac, then finally Top Ramen every night just to get by.

Finally, he had to start doing pedicures and dog grooming in the office on the weekends just to make ends meet. :eek:

I don't know why anyone would want to go into FM.

BTW, anyone know what board scores I need to get into a rocket surgery program?

So this isn't the best time to mention all the ads for $160-180K starting salaries in the back of this month's AFP journal?

God Da** it Sophie... please ....

I would like to apologize on behalf of Sophie... all you medical students should just go internal medicine.... no even better... go surgery.
 
I was just browsing some FM job listings and thought I'd post a representative ad:

Are you posting drunk again? This doesn't make any sense.
 
18 more days to go.... It's too bad I don't drink.

An 85 year old female comes to the office for a follow up visit post an anterior resection.

"Mrs McNickels, now that you have had that colon procedure you have to eat in small portions more often."

"Yes doctor, I already spoke with my son. I am having three hot meals delivered to me each day."

As transcribed....

"Yes doctor, I already spoke with my son. I am having three hot males delivered to me each day."

Pay me and I'll do transcription for you and more accurately :D

You forgot to mention the one that offers a salary guarantee of $180k for the first two years plus your choice of either a sign-on bonus or paid student loans (it's in Wisconsin...too bad I can't apply just yet).

Ooops!
 
*Begin Ranting*

Frigging damn journals... I learned my lesson.... High impact factors = more readers = got money to process publications faster... I have these two publications that have been submitted+accepted for a year and 2 months now and we still didnt get the proofs! And yet I have this one publication in a really high impact factor journal, got accepted+publised and is up on pubmed in EIGHT MONTHS! I need a vacation after the match.

*End Ranting*
 
Faebinder...you need to make yourself a South Park avatar. That's some weird ****. ;)
 
Hmmm.. I guess I shouldn't bust out the bloody version of that avatar.
 
So....


Sophie is medicated...
