How does becoming a doctor work?

Oh come on, people! Help me out here, will ya? I haven't gotten any in months!

errr, well the only thing i know about residents is that they usually don't have a lot of free time

oh, and they're science nerds

and don't necessarily have great social skills

but that's just my experience

but if you want one, go for it. maybe cute blonde's another kind of resident

she probably wouldn't be a resident yet. she must be only in medical school. which she has 5 years of, after college. after med school, she becomes M.D. -- a physician. Then she goes into residency - from five to six or seven years, depending on specialty. then she gets a license, becomes 'board certified', then she might do another fellowship or two in her specialty. by the time she's done with training, she will be ready to retire. the Monster (ex of 8 years) is 35 now and has another year of fellowship ahead of him. but your girl could be, ummm, 25, 26? ask her if she's 24, she'll be flattered.

where did i get blonde? musta been those bush belle yawning photos.

Kicky- Med school is 4 years. If she is in her third year, she is not yet a physician. She had to college for 4 years. If she started at 18, and graduated at 22, she would now be 25, give or take a year or so.

Aah, good info. Thanks! She's probably too young for me then, huh. I can still give it a shot though. Why not?

ehBeth, she is blonde! How'd you know?

maybe i'm a psychic?




terry-do and i used to be pretty good at guessing what kind of underwear online people were wearing

maybe i'm gettin' it back

What kind of underwear am I wearing? I bet you knew I was going to ask that too, huh.

she could have taken a year or two off after college.
i met doctors that were funny, smart, handsome, intelligent, adventurous.....but also commitment freaks, unfortunately.

but they can lay hands on plenty of ky and rubber gloves.....

Dag, what do you mean, commitment freaks? Was it that they were afraid to commit, or that they wanted to commit too much?

and can stitch up a wound right in your bedroom!

just the Monster. ya know the deal.

Oy, don't talk to me about med-school chicks! Ok, do. I have lived with 2 of them. Maybe tomorrow when I'm sober I can articulate why I don't think they'd be good to go out with.

hey, you're drunk and i'm not? howz dat?

Sister's 40th bday. I should have inited you. I hang my head in shame.

i don't drink :-) only one lite beer a week is the new rule, though i'm going to break it this week again. come out tomorrow? in haaahvahd sq.

Dag - we continue the 2-week birthday party tomorrow night in Arlington, but maybe after dinner and the-shooting-of-the-cat, I can meet you out. We'll have to talk.

please speak to me of this shooting of the cat....
