This is a medical weblog--a collection of thoughts about medicine, medical training, and health policy--written by a fifth-year medical student.
I recently stopped blogging, as I graduated from medical school and I'm now a physician in my residency training in New York City. But feel free to read and enjoy!
(To get rid of this thing, just wave your mouse over it. Ta da!
I’ve fallen off my chair laughing at some of the interesting ad/story combinations that I’ve seen on various websites recently.
Less funny, but as striking are the $16,000 wristwatch ads that appear on the SAME PAGE as the stories of the poorest of the poor, on page 2 and 3 of the NY Times Print Edition. “so and so were so poor that they had to sell their children and couldnt’ afford a few spoons to eat with” and RIGHT next to it are the ads describing how you NEED to have this overpriced piece of something.
Or the article on pg 2 (don’t remember when this was) of the NY Times that discussed the civil war in Congo that’s being fought over diamonds, and across from this — the diamond studded necklace for only $50,000.
Yikes.
This is cute – how did you take the picture of the screen? I was once technologically capable, but not so much since med school… My ‘PrtScrn’ button doesn’t do it for me. Can you help?
Nope, not just you… that’s pretty funny :-)
