I love Emergency, it allows you to use all your skills on a frequent basis and it often pushes you outside your comfort zone. The biggest part to get over is knowing that half the people in your care are just using you as their PCP. Easy money though...

I used to be really into cardiology. I figured I'd try to get some experience to see if I really liked it. I worked as a stress tech for a private cardiology group... and man, was that boring. I'd definitely want to work in Cath if anything. I'm kinda turned off from the whole specialty now though. I've recently been inspired by physiatry, but I think I'd still go towards emergency or IM anyways.

Y'know, it made me think of the same thing. Honestly, that's not totally unreasonable; if you were going to model the growth rates of a company and a virus, you'd probably want to use pretty similar mathematical models.

I third this line of thought.

uhhhh eskews me... Grand Forks, ND had a Target LONG before the Super Target came in 2002. I know because my grandmother and aunt both have worked there for over 20 years. and i started working there in high school when they expanded from a regular Target to a Super Target.

Thank god for google define! Also thanks for those flowing data links, they were amusing to say the least.

I was amused a few years ago to see a "Spread of Kudzu" entry next to a "growth of Walmart" entry at the National History Fair (theme was Migration In History). I think there were a couple of KFC and McDonald's entries that year as well.
