Kirmy,
I heard about a crazed murderer who was adopted (as an adult!!) by his wildly wealthy attorneys--first they adopted his pit bulls, then him. Wonder if I could arrange that without actually harming anyone?
Surgeons are a breed all their own. One of my twins had 2 open heart surgeries as an infant. The surgeon was world renowned. He was convinced my son, Gabriel, had to be a girl (Gabrielle). He didn't figure it out until he undid Gabe's diaper. ANyway not long after Gabe's second surgery a biography of this surgeon. It was called "Walking on Water". I kid you not.
Some Family Practice docs can be egotistical nightmares too. However, my favorite family doc not only is very well-versed in the DH but has a very cute ass, not a pompous one!!

Aha! It looks like it posted. YAY!!
ETA: I'm on disability, so I haven't worked since 2003. I really miss it - or at least big hunks of it. I guess staying home and contemplating your navel or something would be fun if you didn't HAVE to do it.
I didn't have any attendings that I didn't get along with, and I'd generally cull the newbies early on and explain the "protocol." Oh well, I tell a lie. I did have one hospitalist who wanted me to intubate and sink a DobHoff and feed and breathe for a 97 y/o person who had literally coughed out an internal organ. We had a going around about that.
