March Madness
So march has been good. The Nephrology rotation means 3 weekends off and good hours. The only downside is being pimped up one side and down the other. To all of my non-medical friends, "pimping" has nothing to do with money or sex, it simply refers to attending physicians asking difficult questions of us residents in an effort to educate. More practically to humiliate. Despite the pimping, its been a great rotation for these reasons:
1. Usually woke up at 6:30 am.
2. Usually got home by 3:00 pm.
3. Five days of vacation on top of the 3 weekends.
4. Visited 22 different people in 2 states during the aforementioned 5 day break.
5. Spent most evenings having a fun hanging out with my girlfriend.
6. Played tennis several times.
7. Had visits from family and friends to Tulsa.
8. Feeling better about my future career as an internal medicine hospitalist.
9. Being in love.
Well, what can I say, I do feel blessed.

P.S. More on "pimping." Evidently this one Dr. we'll call "Dr. X" enjoys pimping to the extreme... and has been known to hurt people's feelings. Well, at one point, I got tired of "trying" to get the right answer, so I simply replied, "I don't know," to about 4 questions in a row. For some reason, Dr. X thought he hurt my feelings. Later that day, I some how bring up that he should take us to lunch, and he felt so afraid that he hurt my feelings that he took our entire team P.F. Chang's... his treat! Guilt is a powerful motivator.
P.P.S Even more on "pimping". Evidently I still know how to read a pathology slide. I have no idea what it means, but i dazzled my senior residents by nailing four nephro histology questions in a row simply by describing what I saw... it made me feel smart (but only for a few seconds).

So what you're trying to say is that you want to be a pimp?
