Welcome erdoc85

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.

  5. erdoc85 actually continued in this line of research while attending a reknowned research land grant institution, prior to med school.

    However that research involved, uh, "punching" sheep, if U get my drift..It is research he contnues to this day....

  8. I have heard it referred to in that manner, 911...U must be experienced in this research yourself!

  9. in my defense they were very good-looking sheep.

  10. Maybe 911 can enlighten me. I learned in Advanced Ovine Appreciation 301 that "they're all good looking from behind".

    You challenge one of the basic tenents of my college edukation.

  12. erdoc85 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.

    Consider him volunteered for any such research.

  13. Allllllright! I love the sheep jokes!

    911doc please tell me you aren't a friggin' Aggie too...I'm afraid I can no longer read this blog.

  19. Could 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?

    ReplyDelete
  20. Hard to explain. I've got a fence, come on down to the Great State of Texas and I'll show you!
