Quotes: Round #3

Another random one I found written down in my lectures.

In reference to seeing air-fluid levels in supine vs. upright abdomen x-rays and why this is important...If it (gut) can’t sort out liquid and solid you wouldn’t be able to fart safely - L

Quotes: Round #2

These were just reminded to me by a fellow student.

Sympathetics control the 4 Fs...fight, flight, fright, and sex. I actually had a female student ask me why the 4th "F" was an "S" - L

THINK ABOUT IT

Also, last year one of the lecturers played a bit of a trick on the students. For a class there was an option of buying one of two copies of a text, the Bate's Pocket Guide to Physical Examination And History Taking, or the complete version. He proceeded to tell the students to go to the bookstore and, if they wanted the full copy, to ask for the "Master Bate's". And don't you know it, some poor soul did just that.

First post of quotes I've collected

So, if you're not sure, I'm a female student. First year actually. And while in class, I have discovered that there are some quacks out there, as well as some absolutely awesome docs. Here I have decided to write down the quotes that some of said lecturers have given. I hope you enjoy. They help me get through the day.

Oh, and just to make things easier, I'm leaving out who said them, when, and what the school is. And since I'm new to this whole thing and not sure if others can make posts on here, I'm going to say this now. If you have quotes you'd like to contribute, throw them up. We all need a good laugh once in a while. Or, as a lecturer told us once, we need to laugh to "jog our innerds".

Let the games begin...
