I had never met a Texan until I met erdoc85 during a project we collaborated on some years ago. Some of the work we did together spurred further research, the results of which have gone on to improve the quality of care provided by those on the front lines of Emergency Medicine. I am proud to say that recent research from the NIH is, well, a direct offshoot of our research. Please see the video below if you are curious.
Americans are fond of saying that everything is big in Texas though, being from the barren reaches of the Ukraine and remembering well the days of the CCCP I have never really understood this. erdoc85, however, educated me on the uniqueness of Texas to the American psyche, and on the proper use of the term "bullshit". erdoc85 is boarded in Emergency Medicine and currently practices in the United States in a hospital near you. Welcome old friend.

ReplyDeleteThat female "researcher" has a great poker face.
CardioNP
Some o' them there Monkeys were really soft and sweet.
ReplyDeleteThe next study should be to see if lovin' 'em up after stab wounds has any effect.
Geez, it took a second cup of coffee before I figured out it was a joke.
ReplyDeletelynn,
ReplyDeletedo you live in humboldt county by chance? not much sleep last night?
erdoc85 actually continued in this line of research while attending a reknowned research land grant institution, prior to med school.
ReplyDeleteHowever that research involved, uh, "punching" sheep, if U get my drift..It is research he contnues to this day....
as i have heard from someone closely involved with this, Oldfart, it's called 'helping the sheep over the fence'.
ReplyDeletei have supervised and been an instructor in such research. all photo evidence destroyed.
ReplyDeleteI have heard it referred to in that manner, 911...U must be experienced in this research yourself!
ReplyDeletein my defense they were very good-looking sheep.
ReplyDeleteMaybe 911 can enlighten me. I learned in Advanced Ovine Appreciation 301 that "they're all good looking from behind".
ReplyDeleteYou challenge one of the basic tenents of my college edukation.
Gig 'em
ReplyDeletedepends whether one is into romance or not i guess.
ReplyDeleteerdoc85 and Dr X.--If you're going to do further research in this area, especially if you plan to forge ahead to human study subjects, I think my ex-husband would be an excellent candidate.
ReplyDeleteConsider him volunteered for any such research.
Allllllright! I love the sheep jokes!
ReplyDelete911doc please tell me you aren't a friggin' Aggie too...I'm afraid I can no longer read this blog.
I'm kidding of course!
"I learned in Advanced Ovine Appreciation 301 that 'they're all good looking from behind.'" HAHAHA.
dear emergencyemm,
ReplyDeleteno, i am not an aggie, though some of my best friends are.
my team plays in the SEC during but i have another team for basketball season in the ACC. best of both worlds. i also married in to liking a different SEC team so usually i have a good year between the three.
cheers.
jes' remember that 'bullshit' actually has 3 syllables, i.e 'bull-shee-it'; ah lef Texas after 15 years of work and livin' there, and ah do miss it some!
ReplyDeleteKeep up the great writing; I'm not an ER doc but I like your stuff just the same!

ReplyDeletelynn,
ReplyDeletedo you live in humboldt county by chance? not much sleep last night?
I know, I know...thick as a plank.
just teasing of course and trying to show that i am conversant with the left coast culture dude!
ReplyDeleteCould you please expound on the helping the sheep over the fence research? I'm a Jersey girl. Although we do have a lot of horses and cows around - just not many sheep...or maybe they are all on the other side of those research fences you speak of?
ReplyDeleteHard to explain. I've got a fence, come on down to the Great State of Texas and I'll show you!
