In this ridiculous CNN report, Isiah Washington, the former Dr. Burke on ABC’s Grey’s Anatomy, shows he’s quite the victim:
“Well, it didn’t help me on the set that I was a black man who wasn’t a mush-mouth Negro walking around with his head in his hands all the time. I didn’t speak like I’d just […]
This is the first in a series that will let everyone know what’s going on with me, at least as much as I’ll let on publicly. I’ve been posting here and there, yes, letting people know I’m still alive and kicking (not necessarily a given, as I’ll go into later), but not really writing […]
I am shocked and appalled, I tell you, that my account was cancelled due to DMCA copyright violations. FOR CLASSICAL MUSIC VIDEOS. In every case, I was just posting what was publicly broadcast on TV at some point, not “bootleg” or other content that would understandably cause a problem since those watching didn’t […]
Grand Rounds 3:39 are up at Code Blog: Tales of a Nurse. Geena is, amazingly, a 4-time hostess! Enjoy a refreshingly creative edition in a unique Q&A format.
No, I don’t get a new Tag Heuer watch (I am partial to Movados, myself), but I have been tagged by Dr. Rob over at Musings of a Distractable Mind. So the meme is “8 Random Things” whereby I list 8 random things about me and tag 8 more people in chain-letter fashion.

We still have quite a bit of classroom/didactic learning. Too much, in […]
I’m exhausted. I had an 8-hour simulation Step 1 Exam today, my last hurrah with Kaplan. (well, I was really done in less time than that, but that’s because there was a little too much “hell if I know”-type responses.)
So, I have LOTS to say, and a little breathing room in which to say it, […]
…is up at Inside Surgery. Succinct and to the point.
I noticed outside today as the sun was starting to go down that the sky was an unnatural orange-yellow color. Sometimes with cloud formations, the reflecting setting sun can produce some striking hues this high up with the dry air, but as I peeked out the window, it was a normal, partly (barely) cloudy sky–certainly […]
This post has been a draft for weeks, but I thought I’d finally get it out there. A few weeks ago, I finally had my certification exam. This exam is a 2 hour exam with a real patient which includes a hand-written write-up (in Spanish, of course) on the spot without reference materials […]
