We are indeed! At least right now. Ophtho people are awesome, as are neuro, radiology, and emergency. We'll see how things go when we hit derm next week.

Law professors are nowhere near this entertaining.

That said, I totally understand about the tiger picture.

[cjsmith]

Yeah, the most entertaining thing our law guy says is "I don't understand this stuff". ;-)

Tiger picture was pretty cool! Way better than most ophthalmology lecture images, I have to say.

[hitchhiker]

i love that it wasn't just a picture of a tiger but "can you guess why this is here" :)

[cjsmith]

He did go on to point out that the tiger's eyes appeared healthy, with no dry eye or excess tear flow. :)

I'm so you using "the fun back in fundus" the next time I see my GI.

[cjsmith]

Some specialties just don't lend themselves to good puns. Neuro: Put the _______ back into cerebrospinal fluid! Just doesn't work. And think of internal medicine! Put the ill back in ileum! Put the wreck back in rectum! Naaah... ophthalmology wins on this one. :)

[hnybny]

Or stomach :-)

[cjsmith]

Oh, good point!

[ladycelia]

You have awesome professors.

[cjsmith]

Ophtho people are amazing. I am definitely making sure I get a rotation through there next year.

heh. i learned first-hand how the lacrimal drainage system works, when my eye doc used the Smurf Blue rather than the yellow-orange Eyedrops of Doom on me. fun times!

i love hearing these tales. i hope this means youre still having fun.

[cjsmith]

Ha! Did you get it out the nose or in the back of the mouth? Or both? :)
