I found this over at MedStudentGod’s blog via Vijay’s blog.
Surprise, surprise for me:
The medical specialty for you is…. Psychiatry
Psychiatry is the best of all specialties. As a psychiatrist, people may claim that you went into the field because you yourself are crazy. But only you know the truth, which is that you are crazy. Enjoy the ride.
To find out what specialty best fits your unique personality, go to:
Okay, this is my day of making short meaningless posts. While making my morning (aka go forth and be functional) tea, I was asked, “Who do like for the Superbowl this year PA?”
*stares vacantly*
PA knows at least something about many things in the world and well, she “gets” North American “football” but truth be told, she’s much more a fan of European “football” or “soccer.” In fact, she used to hang out at a Manchester United pub! Hey, it was a fun place!
PA: “Well, really, I haven’t been following “football” at all this year. Who’s playing?”
Man: “Chicago and Indianapolis”
PA: “Oh, the Bears and the Colts.” (at least PA knew the teams…)
PA thought for a moment.
PA: “Well, my money’s on the Colts.”
Man: “I think you’re right. They’re a much better team and I think Chicago needs the colder weather to slow down other teams to get the advantage.”
Oh dear, where’s my tea.
Honestly, I really don’t know who’s funnier, her or me. We make a great team. We don’t talk often but thankfully there is email. She also has the url for this blog but I don’t know if she reads it. Well, if you do, Sis’, you’re absolutely the best! Thank you for keeping me SANE (relatively?) even though I know we wonder so often whether we both are ourselves.
She’s my only sibling and the only person in my family that I can talk to.
Had to go to partner’s mother’s for dinner. It’s not quite as traumatic as visiting my mother. Apart from other things, what is key to mention at this moment in time is she always has relatively good wine.
After a couple of good glasses (goblets?) Patient Anonymous became suitably relaxed. I haven’t had a drink since New Year’s Eve.
Patient Anonymous tries not to drink–it messes her up and her partner does not like it. Not that her partner is “the alcohol police” but Patient Anonymous’ drinking has led to some…arguments. Partner does not drink. Rarely, if ever.
Not that Patient Anonymous has done anything bad while drinking. But for some reason, it’s a sore spot. Patient Anonymous actually thinks she’s quite fun when she’s had a few…or a quite a few. Perhaps that’s the problem.
No matter. Tonight, some decent red was exactly what was needed.
When stated to partner, partner said: “Needed?”
Patient Anonymous jokingly retorted (ah, the English language…) “You know I’ve been stressed out…and Hypnotics don’t work like the Benzos used to!” (i.e. I’m off benzos now.)
