My first go with the Needle involved a 10-second crash course while walking to the patient's room. This wasn't a mosquito-esque immunization shot either; it was a big honking hip needle, and to me (the uninitiate) it looked like it could gore a rhino. It went fine. A large part of medical school is deep-end moments - just over the concrete precipice, there's the dark blue of the 12-foot deep end in front of your flexing, nervous toes, the water made ominous by uncertainty. You got no way of knowing what's going to happen, and you got to jump in. There is another deep-ender looming on the horizon soon. I speak, of course, of the urogenital/rectal exam.
Best thing about August? Halloween is only two months away. Golly Moses, do I love costumes. If you read this, send me a message with your favorite costume - one you've worn or seen or wistfully hope to wear some day - IM, text, email, reply, doesn't matter. I'll check the vitals for your answer. One of my favorites: two guys roped back to back, wearing the same clothes and doing/saying the same things. They were a Palindrome. Exactly good!

my favorite halloween costume was by annie - she wore a clear trash bag and filled it with different colored balloons.... she was a bag of jelly beans!!
a close second would be one of my brother's combo costumes, such as, the ninja-dino-clown. the oversized green with white polka dotted bowtie was pretty much always part of his costume, no matter what.
and ps, i think you should submit your caps lock cruise control thing to threadless. they would TOTALLY print that on a shirt!
