“The self-confidence of the warrior is not the self-confidence of the average man. The average man seeks certainty in the eyes of the onlooker and calls that self-confidence. The warrior seeks impeccability in his own eyes and calls that humbleness. The average man is hooked to his fellow men, while the warrior is hooked only to infinity.”

The selection is hard when it comes to the last 24 ...Posted by Staff in Untagged |
|
When you start getting down to the last few, it gets really hard to pick those last few. Some are it's about untapped talent, others a great voice, and still others there is something special, the it factor. You may disagree with some of that Randy, Simon, and Paula choices, but they do have experience. They see something. Sometimes I disagree and others I have to agree. They have been choosing contestants for years and know what works.

My Rank ListPosted by Staff in Untagged |
|
So, interview season has come to an end. Most of you who are in the process of applying for residency are making your rank list. You may have had X number of interviews, liked Y number of programs, and have a list in your head of who you think is the best for you. So, how do you make your rank list? This is very difficult as you probably already know. So, this is my opinion. I think you really need to understand yourself. You need to look at your past and look at what has worked for you. I feel it is more of an introspective process.

Simon Cowell is my boy ....Posted by Staff in Untagged |
|
Music is wonderful, wouldn't you say. Songs inspire; bring back past memories. Both tragedy and joy can be tied to one song. The same lyrics can have separate meaning to different people. Change the vocalist and a crowd favorite can become a dud. American Idol is great, watching all of these hopefuls, and some freaks, get up there and sing their hearts out. Sometimes causing pain to my ears. We love watching people on both ends of the spectrum, the highs and the lows. And Simon Cowell is the driving force behind the whole thing. It is his British brashness and true honesty, sometimes may be a little mean, that we thrive on. I like him because he has the balls to say you suck.

I watched Greys anatomy .... Let's OperatePosted by Staff in Untagged |
|
With
shows like Grey's Anatomy glorifying the life of surgical residents, I
have a feeling that the number of students who choose to go into the
surgical subspecialties will increase. It will probably be like what ER
did for emergency medicine and CSI did for criminalists. Not that
surgery ever needed to be promoted. It has always been seen as a great
specialty but a poor life style. With the 80hr work week restrictions,
it has been less intimidating from the life style stand point, and with
shows like Grey's Anatomy and Dr. 90210, it is becoming more high
profile. I predict the numbers of applicants will increase. In orthopaedics, we really don't need an increase in applications.
