There’s a storm brewing, brewing all around. The snow is falling; it’s covering the ground.
I’m working on the SSRI post. I hope to have it done this weekend. Sorry about my basketball rant on Monday. And sorry about the picture of me in the previous post. That cannot be pleasant for the eyes.
Matt Sims, son of the NFL Hall-of-Fame quarterback Phil Sims, took an official visit to Michigan State this past weekend. The Spartans need quarterbacks after Keith Nichol sold out State. Sims was an Army All-American and would add to what is turning into a surprisingly solid first recruiting class for coach Mark Dantonio.
Some studies have been released showing circumcision may be as effective in preventing HIV in Africa as a vaccine. This is potentially another reason to have a baby circumcised.
Speaking of viruses, several patients in the ER have been asking about Gardasil, or the vaccine against cervical cancer. Human Papilloma Virus (HPV) causes cervical cancer, but it also can cause genital warts. However, different serotypes of the virus cause different disease. For instance, HPV 16, 18, 31 and 35 cause cervical cancer while other strains cause genital warts. The vaccine is only protective against two of the HPV serotypes that cause cervical cancer. If you already have HPV the vaccine will not eliminate it from your body; the virus will always be there. The vaccine will protect you from two of the HPV serotypes (16 and 18) that can cause cancer. Currently most insurances are covering the three series of Gardasil shots for females between 9-26 y/o.
Chris Webber is a Piston and he will wear the number 84 jersey. Odd.
Saying someone is sick to another doctor is different than hearing patients tell you they are sick sometimes. For instance, a woman with a perforated ulcer in severe sepsis is sick. A woman with breast cancer with mets to her brain and liver who currently has a blood clot in her lung is sick as well. A man who states his feet hurt or a woman who feels fine enough to sit in bed, laugh and text message and talk to her boyfriend about how slow the doctors are are not sick.
I’ve talked too much about medicine. Maybe I should ask for topics to discuss for these Wednesday ramblings.
There aren’t a whole lot of movies I’m interested in seeing right now.
Just because I like Kate Spade, enjoy matching ties with outfits, have credit cards to Macy’s and Nordstrom’s and have fun thinking about how to decorate my future apartment/home does not mean I don’t like women. I really like women. A lot.

first, i'm still anxiously awaiting the SSRI discussion. note: i said "anxious" which implies i have anxiety disorders, and that's a true fact. i'm not ashamed to say it here "in cahoots". well, a little.
second, i tried to investigate getting this hpv vaccination thing, but since i'm almost 30, i am outside the cusp for my insurance to cover it. then i reassessed and realized, i'm not even having sex nor are their opportunities on the horizon. thus, i'm good to go.
third, i think in order to prove how much you really do like women (A LOT), you should buy me a kate spade purse, take me shopping to macy's, and redecorate my apartment using a budget of $1,000. that will prove to me you are hetero, and i think that is what we both want here.
