as a former 'pre-med' and med student, I agree that 3x5 index cards were near invaluable during my studying days. Now however, I find myself relying solely on index card based apps. Much easier to create in batches and the better ones have the added functionality of being able to sort them based on whether or not…

i think you meant to say that you want your docs to come down here to JH to learn how to operate. everything that you endured has more or less been around for 50 years since WWII

I'm a doctor, my degree albeit mandatory hasn't really 'helped' me. it's the only way in but not exactly what it once used to be or what people think it is. We've become service employees with a drive-thru, see as many patients to turn a profit for the hospital mentality with $300k in loans. A degree does not…

is anybody else's gawker website messed up? I can't see any of the pictures before the jump on the main page of any of the gawker sites. I've tried different browsers and work/personal computers including my phone. what the heck is happening??

smoking and poor patient selection were also part of the reason why back operations failed. By health industry standards, relief of about 70% of your low back pain is considered a 'successful' surgery. Smoking delays healing by nearly 10 fold, especially in those operations for low back pain. Since all…

ugh this brings me nightmares

agreed. surgical resident here myself. But to defend dr. Harstein he did say that he hasn't seen any of the scans and described both ends of the spectrum. I see patients in the SICU wake up from this all the time, and other times not at all so very difficult to say without all the facts. It's also possible that…

Very true, my first suit from them def had very low armholes but my second suit was on the money. had some minor alterations by my local tailor. either way if you're not in a rush for a suit then you'd be hard pressed to find a better option

Ah i haven't seen that one before, def going to check it out. thanks!

Suit Supply and Indochino. Custom suiting for well under 1000. Have bought a couple suits from both suppliers and couldn't be happier. Prices can range up to 1k if you're looking for super 130's but you can pick up some super 110's for 4-500 and even cheaper on sale if you keep an eye out for them. They also visit…

Indochino. Custom suiting for 400-500. I've ordered two suits from them after having been fitted when they were in NYC last year and haven't looked back. They offer a $70 credit after you get your suit to have it altered at your tailor, if cost will be more than that they redo the suit and send you a new one. They…

i always have to do a double take whenever i see (albeit rarely these days) a 4-door integra. still didn't understand why they made these things

damn it i'm late with entry, just saw it already posted

Renault Espace, a seemingly benign versatile people mover. Until you drop a 3.5L V10 in to the middle of the car and produce something out of this world

As previously mentioned fully implanted pumps are still in stage III trials, meaning only available to select individuals involved in a large study and not available to the general public just yet. As Shamrock also mentioned correctly is that there are Continuous Glucose Monitors (CGM) that are implanted underneath…

but boy does bacteria love all the yummy goodness that lies beneath your skin...

Timex Weekender. Have a couple of these with different colored faces and couple different bands to swap. And a couple other 'dressier' options for when I'm at work. Anybody have any experience with Parnis watches? I know they're knockoffs albeit quite decent looking ones.

Hmm you may be on to something....(as i quickly google happy hours for this evening...)

I've actually charged my phone many times in a pinch at a bar. Most bars seem to already have the cables and never have to bring one along.

isnt there a good chance that if the little guy has any access to the internet and presumable visits car blogs himself, that he'd probably find out about his tumor recurrence on his own? Irregardless this whole thing makes me proud to be a jalop and will definitely contribute to the cause
