Oh this was THAT guy?! I still remember his “pearls of wisdom” because the advice was basically all how to be the weird student no one likes on rotations

These surgeons aren’t working at reputable hospitals. They are working for shady strip mall clinics where every corner gets cut, and in South Florida they are competing with cheap Caribbean plastic surgery practices so their margins are thin. The Florida BOM is slowly starting to crack down on...

I would maybe let the Board know about that, especially if this “fat transfer” is going into her derrière. These people are insane. If I killed a patient during a cosmetic procedure I’m pretty sure I would never do that operation again. If it happened a second time I’m honestly not sure...

I was surprised at how challenging the written exam was. I did ten years worth of old inservices and the Pearls book for prep. I don’t know anyone who took the prep course.

AAAAGH WHAT IS THIS I HATE IT

I was about to sail in with guns ablaze in defense of cheap white wine but I see I’m a little late to the party.... Taking notes on that sangria recipe though. Also @RustedFox glad you lived. I enjoy your rants.
