Med School MATRIX, Teens and Drugs, Saving Kids DNA So They Don't Get Kidnapped

Working on pediatrics will make you sick. I know this because those little midget people have given me a nice case of the runny nose, runs, headache, fever, and malaise, all at once. Those little buggers.......

Things that get to me:
1. Classmates who ask questions they already know the answers to in order to make themselves look intelligent even though I see through them and think they are less intelligent for asking the question in the first place.
2. Classmates who ask questions at the end of lecture or on Friday afternoons at the end of lecture when the only thing the entire class wants to do is leave. Get a clue.
3. Classmates who ask questions with a preface, every single time they ask a question.
4. Classmates who ask a question about something that the professor just told us.

Conclusion, don't ask questions if you are trying to look smart or if you weren't paying attention. Only ask them if they are well thought out and are in the middle of lecture, not at the end.

3. Can Antibiotics Keep You From Getting Obese
A study just came out linking obesity to bacteria.......hmmm...........
"The size of your gut may be partly shaped by which microbes call it home, according to new research linking obesity to types of digestive bacteria. Both obese mice -- and people -- had more of one type of bacteria and less of another kind, according to two studies published Thursday in the journal Nature."

4. Parent are Storing Children's DNA Thanks to the TV Show CSI
Wow, America is a crazy place. The media scares people about everything. To be honest, I think that it is kind of sad. See why I think think this......
"News reports about child abductions and television shows such as "CSI: Crime Scene Investigation" are driving parents' interest in keeping genetic records for their children.
As a result, moms and dads across the country are swabbing the inside of their children's mouths to get a DNA sample just in case they need it if the youngster is kidnapped, runs away or suffers a terrible accident. DNA can be used to identify remains, hair or blood."
