  1. I always thought you were laced up a little too tight! I’m almost afraid to put my name in. Truly strange! But I needed a good laugh!

  2. I don’t know, I like the one about the female ferret an awful lot too! :o) Thanks for your tips about deciding on a specialty. I think I WILL spend some time doing an organized reflection about my future…

  3. So nice to discover your blog. I am a second year resident who has knit since age 8. Some of us from work get together from time to time to knit, but most of us are too busy to meet on any type of schedule. We manage to meed 2x/yr or so. Appreciate your list of blogs of ‘medical types’. It’s good to see the creative sides of us blossom in jobs that don’t exactly allow that.

  4. I really want to see someone sting themselves to death! I have a long list of surgeons…….:)
    I am, as always, half asheep!

  5. Haaa! I hadn’t seen that one!
    And *waves*. I’ve been surfing around knitosphere tonight finding some new knitster friends!
