STALK ME
Just wanted to point out something that was happening on another blog:
http://blog.timesunion.com/mdtobe/ask-me/806/
“39. 25 years teaching physician…..
Agree with Cris. The analysis on foreign MDs simplistic and inaccurate. I wouldn’t even begin to make a statement in a blog about the subject without a firm background in public health. Further, it is novel to recount your exploits in med school, but the commentary on your crooked stapling job and being left to remove a malignancy on your own is largely exaggeration and misinforms the public. Please attempt to be more sober and circumspect. You are not living an episode of Grey’s Anatomy.

For those who have never worked in science or medicine, let me translate:
“25 years teaching physician…”
Translation: “This is a very small field, and I know your professors.”
“Further, it is novel to recount your exploits in med school, but the commentary on your crooked stapling job and being left to remove a malignancy on your own is largely exaggeration and misinforms the public. Please attempt to be more sober and circumspect.”
Translation: “Don’t talk about problems openly.”
Dearest Kevin –
I am not one who usually corrects people, however this is such an important matter that I feel compelled to do so after sitting with this for three days. The title of this blog post is “Captain Crunch & Dog Pee Edition”. Kevin Kevin Kevin … it’s not CAPTAIN Crunch, it’s Cap’N Crunch. Please try to remember this for future reference, it’s important. Thank you ever so much.
Your faithful reader (and a Cap’n Crunch connoisseur),

My deepest apologies, Liutn’t HomeTownGirl. ;)
