News
Ok, so I know I haven't posted for quite a while. I've had several reasons:
1. My tablet screen crapped out and I have yet to purchase another one.
2. Rotations have been much more time consuming than I had previously thought, and I wanted to devote my full attention to the learning and patient care therein.
3. I had Step 2 of the boards to take (ugh)
4. I now have residency applications to put forth and work on so time is still pretty tight.
Therefore, I will be updating this whenever possible, but don't expect it too often. I have one of those Google tablet things I use for the wards, and will experiment to see if I can draw comics on that, but the stylus is really not conducive to drawing. We shall see.
Most importantly, one of my comics, Medical Jargon was recently used in a TEDMED talk by Sally Okun entitled "Does anyone in Healthcare Want to be Understood?" check out 1:18 for the appearance of the comic, but really, the whole talk is really quite good. Thank you, Sally, for deeming my comic worthy of inclusion in your discussion on the lexicon of healthcare, and great job on your talk!
That's all for now,
Tommy

A little drawing I
did while on rotation and nothing was happening. Stylized version of the Rod of Aesculapius with some surgical sayings thrown in. Hope you enjoy!

Arm Wrestling

216 Arm Wrestling
I don't know how
that original match began, but he was proud of that win for the next week until the
patient recovered enough and destroyed him in a rematch.

Patient Positioning

214 Patient
Positioning
I had to pause to
maintain composure when this happened.
Then my co-student tried to utilize his
empathy skills by saying, "I completely know how you feel…"
Composure?
Gone.

doesn't see the big clinical picture, huh? He must have been a gunner as a
first and second year.
