Dr. Cranquis' Mumbled Gripes

I'm an American physician who works in an Urgent Care clinic. I see lots of stupid or funny things that people do with-and-to their health. I cope by mumbling under my breath (and then posting about it on this pseudonymous blog). Thought you might be interested.

(Disclaimer: Questions related to medical topics will be answered to the best of Dr. Cranquis' (and Google's) knowledge, but the internet-delivered wisdom on this blog CAN NOT AND SHOULD NOT SUBSTITUTE for your Real-Life Doctor's personal attention + examination, and your own common sense too! If you think you're having a medical emergency, hang up and go email 911.

Finding pithy quotes in your textbooks.

Honestly, not a lot of great things about second year. If you can think of any, let me know.

I’ve been racking my brains (and reviewing my old post about Surviving 2nd Year), and about all I could come up with was (1) having an easier (but not more-enjoyable) time studying, after accumulating a year’s worth of experience in refining my study habits; and (2) having a mixed sense of pride and pity when noticing the way that new 1st-years admired my “success” at surviving to 2nd year. :S
