menometrorrhagia

    I can’t tell if my account is working now.  I want to test this out.  Thus this lame post.

my blog looks to have been disabled.  i’m wondering if i post something if the old posts will show back up.

sorry for the string of crappy posts.  this is just a quick note to say: prepare to update links — menometrorrhagia is moving to an awesome, as yet undisclosed site!  i’m just trying to iron out a couple minor details in the design (and completely learning how to manipulate css) and once those are done i’ll make the switch.  i suspect this site will stay up, but just won’t be updated.

Today marked my return to the clinical realm after a hiatus of about five months.  I was understandably nervous.  Perhaps all the modest skill and aplomb I had accumulated over the course of my third year had withered away from neglect.  I am quite sure that most of the knowledge accumulated during that time has dissipated.  My fears were all the more pronounced because the rotation I began today was Women’s Health, i.e., outpatient Ob-Gyn.

Going into that first patient’s room and lining up all the instruments was nerve-wracking.  Not only was I sure to fumble with the speculum and cytobrush, my Spanish was far rustier than I had anticipated.  I couldn’t remember how to say “Relax, baby, just let me slide this cold metal alligator up there and do my thing.”  So I reverted to the old standby “Lo siento, senora, lo siento.”

My palms were completely sweaty as I struggled to pull on the latex-free gloves, but I needn’t have worried.  That cervix popped it’s little pink eye right out at me on the first try.  It turns out doing pelvic exams is like riding a bike.  A smelly, disgusting bike, but still.

Lo siento, mi esposa.

1. I’m thinking of moving the blog because about 1/7th of my regular readers cannot access the comments section from work, which is, as we all know, where the vast majority of blog browsing occurs.  If I do move it will be to either vox or livejournal because all the other free blog sites suck.  If I go to livejournal I will change the name, much to the delight of billy and my wife who seem uncomfortable with gynecologic word play.
2. According to an anesthesiologist at Parkland, every time someone vomits in the hospital it costs about $100.  That’s just retarded.
3. I have until Feb 21 to submit a rank list of the residency programs I’d like to attend, but I think I’ll submit it on Feb 7th just like all those high school football recruits submitting their letters of intent.

there’s been a request to move menometrorrhagia to another host.  here’s a list of a few candidates.  let me know what you think.
http://menometrorrhagia.vox.com/
http://menometrorrhagia.shoutpost.com/
http://llogg.lifelogger.com/blog
http://menometrorrhagia.eponym.com/blog

None of the candidates are all that user-friendly or customizable, but then, neither is blog.com.  I might try blogger, but their templates are ugly.

PS. I’d love to use livejournal but menometrorrhagia is one letter too long for their subdomain name.

“I want to put the rumor to rest, I was diagnosed with Klinefelter’s last
year.
Thank you for your support.”

Weird.

That is all.
