Who here has worked lately?

Gastroenterologist in the greater Boston area. Hit me up if you're looking for a colonoscopy.

I went to medical school in southern California primarily to surf and was logging 3-4 sessions per week toward the end of that tenure. That was incredible, but the call of family and friends brought me back east. Now I'm married to an east coast lady so it looks like I'm back for good. Between a busy work schedule, two young kids (2.5 yo and 6 wk old), and living at least a 45 min drive from waves, I'm down to about 15-30 sessions per year, which I try to convince myself is not that bad... I just cried on my keyboard as I wrote that haha

I'm jealous of all you guys with remote work situations and flexible hours, but I've come to realize that the patient-facing part of my job is what I like best, and that keeps my hours more rigid.

 

Oh man, I just had my ass checked recently...have to hook up with you next time I suppose lol

 

no homo

 

Hence, "Tubdoc" I suppose?

Really?.... Patient-facing? Rigid?

 

did he just say that looking at people's asses make him hard?

 

I believe "rigid" was the word.

 

But if you are doing colonoscopy you are not "facing" your patients. Unless, it is another primate species we don't know about......martians?? Maybe he has confused his specialty with gynecology??? Inquiring minds want to know.....

 

Or maybe his reach around skills are just that good! Nothing like looking your victim,... er patient in the eye when violating,.... er examining him!

 

thanks for your service!

 

Tubedoc's polyp searching skillz would turn Soulrider's tenor into a falsetto

 

Tubedoc was a founding member of the butt hole surfers haha

 

God this is exactly why I keep coming back

 

For the hard dicks?

 

I’m in a similar boat:
Eligible for a pension after 25 years but didn’t start teaching till I was 38.
That means I’ll be in my sixties too if/when I retire.

 

It’s the part of the patient he’s facing that he likes, meaning the shfincter.

 

That time will come sooner than you think. Enjoy your days now, as you teach. A lot of my friends that I grew up here never made it to 55 or 60. Of the myriads of friends from Puerto Rico where I grew up, only ONE survives with me. All others are dead (drugs, alcohol, AIDS)--I hung around a rather raucous group of morons. I was on an island--it was them or nobody else. Now, nothing has changed--it is nobody else.
Moral of story--enjoy today; tomorrow may never come (and get rid of bad habits.)

 

Gracias, amigo.

 

Good to see that the GI jokes are alive and well here at SI! This thread was getting too serious anyway...
