You know, there are the days when I ask for specialist advice, and I nod and I ask at least vaguely intelligent follow ups and I write down all the investigations that they want me to arrange and I say thank you and I hang up the phone.
There are days when that comes with a side of nerding that’s based in never having seen That Really Cool Thing before in real life.
And then there are days when I ask for specialist advice and they know things that are so weird that I nod and I ask follow ups about spelling and I write down all the investigations that they want me to arrange and I say thank you and then the conversation is over.
And then I say, “Soooooo, just for my own education. WTF?”
The Road Less Travelled 
Hi!
I stumbled across your blog a while back and really enjoyed reading your unique take on the life of a medical resident. I finally decided to drop a comment (under a pseudonym, of course! I never could summon the courage to blog under my own name, or the creativity to make a snazzy name up…). Just wanted to let you know that when I decided to take the plunge into the blogging world myself, I thought of leaving you a note to let you know that you have, in part, inspired me to take up this avocation. Hope to read more from you! Cheers, MedUtopia.
