Just saw a woman walking with crutches and holding a beer...the two just don't seem conducive to one another to me.

I've always heard that new Dr's, PA's, etc are told they should be reading an hour a night...so I try and emulate that. I bought this for $5 used: Pathophys and try to read it often. I also listen to EMCrit, and some 12-lead stuff

Lots of issues in that tracing Off the top of my head. Sinus with the PACs and a LBBB. I think I also see Wellen's sign too. I also doing this because it may make me look like an idiot...but it could also be a 3rd degree with junctional tach and a LBBB. I feel like a moron sometimes...

So apparently my students are not to blame for their showing up weeks early. My class dates where changed without notice to me and outside of the printed course catalog for the semester. sigh.

Lol perhaps :wacko: On a serious note: I'd love to read any input or thoughts you have on any of it if you have the energy.

Took the night off which makes two consecutive days off from the gym. I've not had two days of in a row in 5 weeks so I think I'm due. I also didn't get much sleep the night before. So I hit the jacuzzi for 20 minutes, stretched, and am going to hit the hay early.

It's a lot of posts where people describe when people first discovered/realized they were schizophrenic. Some very interesting reads http://www.reddit.com/r/AskReddit/comments/1l4wi8/schizophrenics_of_reddit_when_and_how_did_you/
