Look at me, I'm funny

Well, not really. But this seemed to amuse the people in the room, so I thought I'd share. Today I was sitting in the conference room in Family Practice (obviously, because that's my rotation right now - why would I be anywhere else?) and one of the doctors there was perusing a website, which I didn't pay close extreme attention to, because that would be weird.

That's not the whole story.

Other doc in the room DID pay attention, and said something like, "Oh, are you thinking of another specialty in physiatry?" (Or something similar - I was writing a SOAP note on someone with a problem list numbering eleventy billion, and I wasn't really listening.) The other guy said something like, "You can't pull a Rich Rodriguez and leave us!"

And I said, "If you do, make sure you leave when there's only ONE PATIENT left to see!" Hardy har har.

If you don't know who Rich Rodriguez is, he was the West Virginia University football coach until recently, when he left abruptly (for the money, obviously) to coach at Michigan. He didn't leave when the team had finished their season, though (well, I guess they had finished their season, but they still had a bowl game about two weeks after he left.) The ESPN article linked above has quotes like this that make Rodriguez look like a real skeeze:

"The players are upset because he said he's going to leave before the bowl game," James Dykes, the father of West Virginia defensive tackle Keilen Dykes told ESPN's Joe Schad. "At least coach them in the bowl game. James just called to tell us and I know he is very upset about this."

Assistant head coach Bill Stewart and Magee ran West Virginia's one-hour practice on Sunday. Rodriguez was not present. "We tried to be excited," Keilen Dykes said. "We're all hurting right now, but we can't cry."

But WVU went on to win the Fiesta Bowl on January 2nd anyway. Boo-yah.
