While reading one of WhiteCoat's recent posts. I came across his use of the phrase "strong work," and chuckled.

Second Shift: Stories from the ER and Med School: June 2010
http://ersecondshift.blogspot.com/2010_06_01_archive.html
Second Shift: Stories from the ER and Med School. Monday, June 28, 2010. Looking back, it's funny to realize that my interest in emergency medicine began with a flyer for an EMT certification course.

I'm sure med school will produce one or two amusing stories of its own, which I may try to post from time to time. To everyone who has stopped by this blog, thanks for reading. It's been fun.

Second Shift: Stories from the ER and Med School. Friday, April 15, 2011. I Whip My Brain Back and Forth. Dear High School Student,. Welcome to the anatomy lab demonstration. Your extreme enthusiasm for real cadaver parts will make you a great sociopath and/or physician healer. I regret to inform you, however, that you are not Roger Daltrey, and that spinal cord does not lead to a microphone. Kindly refrain from swinging it as such. Thank you for your consideration.

Second Shift: Stories from the ER and Med School: The Bionic Man
http://ersecondshift.blogspot.com/2011/02/bionic-man.html
Second Shift: Stories from the ER and Med School. Thursday, February 17, 2011.

Which means if you happen upon oddly vivd pink gums while bisecting the head, they're probably dentures. Shiny silver prongs poking within a great vessel? Still, I doubt anything will ever top the handicap parking permit. February 18, 2011 at 3:00 AM.

After endless hours studying human pathology, it's not uncommon for medical students to become convinced they suffer from a rare disease or two. or eight.
