Because I want to be surrounded by beautiful people. Duh.

Because I like the feeling of "knowing everything" in medicine...because I like to ask why and understand how things work...because I want to have a significant say in patient care decisions...because I like being a consultant...because it's a broad field with many career choices...because I like continually learning new things...because I have many interests outside medicine...because I like the laid back personalities in path...because I don't care to be in the limelight...because I want to wear jeans to work...I could go on and on! :love:

1. Pedro does offer you his protection.
2. Whatever you do, don't drink water out of a water fountain.
3. Harbster, have some compassion man...the dude is in a WHEELCHAIR!

Did you interview in a wheelchair?

No. It was Andy's painfully politically incorrect ploy to guilt LADoc00 into spilling his beans of wisdom.

and it worked didn't it?

it wasn't painful for me one bit on this end at least. can i have my wheelchair back now? i haven't left home ever since i gave it to you. immobility is a b*tch!

Hmm...think I'll keep it. I kinda like how it fits with my "Masked Machine" image.

Spilling his beans of wisdom? :laugh: :laugh: I like the way you mix up your metaphors! Somewhat like casting beans to swine.

Doesn't "Masked Machine" connote some degree of slick well-oiled movement? Sure isn't going to happen with a wheelchair!

Hey now. Luke Skywalker had a robotic arm and was pretty damn good with a light saber. And I've seen those dudes play basketball on TV. Pretty sure they could kick my ass.
 
I'm the only one who has no patience for patients?

Odd. I thought hating people was the whole basis for this field. :p

I have no idea wtf deshutes, cytoborg, and Andy are talking about. They are like a bunch of thugs loitering on my thread. Scram ya hoodlums!
 
Dear Harbster,

I am waiting for "all of the above" to be made an option in "Why do you want to become a pathologist... Part Deux". And don't cures vary with the type of cancer?

Sincerely yours,

deschutes.

Dear Thug,

Please depart from my thread. If you chose to stay, I am forced to let Yaah take care of you.

Sincerely,

Watch out, I've got a light saber too. You don't mess with a thug with a light saber.

i'm having too much fun picturing this...a dude in a wheelchair yielding a light saber...
 
It must have wings.

There is something the matter with Darth, but I can't put my finger on it. Could it be that the weight of his head has crushed his neck into his body?

it's Dark Helmet, played by Rick Moranis.

Ah well, Harb should've known we'd stomp all over his thread in his absence anyway :rolleyes:
