I mean Dr. daBigV!

Woot! Woot! Well done daBigV! Â (Imagine Kazoos tooting and hands clapping)
Where is the newly minted one and his stethoscope off to next? Â And, more importantly, do we all get a half price reduction on the treatment of some expensive and rare medical condition?
Hey, doc it hurts when I do this - Redrum - 05-16-2010
But it hurts worse for the people who read me doing this. Â Is there something I can take for it?

Congratulations, Doc! By the way, I\'ve got this pain in my left side....

Congratulations, indeed! Has it really been four years??? What and where are the residency plans?
Re: Congratulations, daBigV - dabigv13 - 05-16-2010
Thanks all, it\'s been a long time coming but it seems my ability to postpone adulthood is at an end. Starting in July (all new residents start in July; don\'t get sick in July), I\'ll be across the country in New York, beginning my training in Otolaryngology-Head and Neck Surgery at Mount Sinai Hospital.
The residency selection process makes college football recruiting seem almost civil; chairmen promising you the world, then bolting for the next hot job; offers to interview being made, then rescinded if you don\'t respond within 10 minutes; having to tie knots one handed while answering questions about your greatest inadequacies; being told you\'re at the very top of their rank list, then talking to your friend who interviewed and heard the exact same thing. Thankfully I survived this process, and ended up at probably the best program I interviewed at, one where I rotated for a month in September and loved.
Also, I will trade free nosejobs or tonsillectomies for slingbox streams of Stanford sporting events. No DirecTV in Manhattan means I\'ll be watching 1994 Mets season recaps on whatever Fox Sports affiliate they have out there otherwise.
Re: Congratulations, daBigV - Nan3cy - 05-17-2010
Well, that thing about no DirectTV may be the bad news. But does that mean the fact that you won\'t have time to watch any TV anyway is the good news??? :-?
Mount Sinai is a wonderful place. Enjoy!
Mt. Sinai a wonderful place, for Greek monks maybe - Redrum - 05-17-2010
But it\'s a dry heat, so there\'s that. And, of course, the whole trading favorite Stanford sports anecdotes with the burning bush thing. You could ask I AM what was the deal with the whole Screw of \'82.

Oh, so now we\'re back to the whole Yahweh....a-a-a-a-r-r-r-g-g-g-hhhh!

The New York Alumni chapter is very good about putting together events for the viewing of Stanford football--at a place called Molly Pitcher\'s in the Upper East Side, last year at least, so that may be your best bet.
Re: Congratulations, daBigV - Pastor - 05-17-2010
Let me add my congratulations...it must be a relief to be done and on to the next phase, Sinai should be great....and remember, if you need a good lawyer, there are a few on this board!

CI, what\'s your deal?

I\'m sure, but I think I\'m Carroll. However, in this case, as far as I can tell, I haven\'t done anything to bring it on, have I?
