@qingdom: I think all of the above apply to this hack job. Well, maybe not "microsoft".

I'm looking for a word here, it means "the opposite of elegant".

So we are sticking with this "money shot" title thing then.... great.

@Curves: Ah parents, all the same.

@petecuba: My thoughts exactly. In for 1.

@ProudGeek: It is actually only 2 years of classroom study to get an MD. Then you are an intern and on the wards.
