So, I have been shadowing an orthopedic surgeon for the last two weeks and have loved every ganglion cyst filled moment of it. As a pre med I can't be in the OR but I can see outpatient procedures such as Hyaluronan Injections (basically a lube job for arthritic knees). I have been so busy being the over-excited (but totally collected) pre med that it wasn't until the other day when I was standing at the nurses station, shadowing the surgeon as always, that I noticed no physician in that department was under 6 feet tall...and that is being conservative, they were more like 6'3. I have never felt so short at 5'7. I wonder if ortho's have some height requirement I am not aware of... Maybe to get to the job interview they make you climb steps built for a giant and that is part of the selection process...
In other news, my matchmaker sent another client's profile for me to consider... the only problem is, well, his photo. I am sure you are thinking, RP, why are you being so mean, people can't help what they look like. Well, it wasn't so much him as his actual photo. He has straight up demon eyes (red eye gone crazy) in the photo (if I could figure out a way to keep his privacy and post this photo I would, it is truly scary). And it made me wonder, of all the photos this guy probably has of himself, why the hell did he choose demon eyes? Was that really the photo he felt showed who he is? If so, that is a bit...um...scary. I haven't responded back, I am trying to think of a nice way to ask the matchmaker if there are any non-demon photos of him lying around that I can look at... Any ideas on how to say that in a PC way?
