You are YOU CAN'T DO THAT ON TELEVISION.
Sometimes, you wonder why you couldn't just be
Canadian. Some people say you are weird. You
have an interesting sense of humor and a
meaningless life. But, you're nearly Canadian,
so did you expect better?


Which old school Nickelodeon show are you?

Had a so-so day at WW today. Only lost 1.4 (which is a good number), but it felt like more. :(

Outrageous

Had a back-porch discussion with Peter, the cute med student boy, and he told me that at UCD Medical School, aside from student-run electives, they've never been taught how to perform abortions. He said it's the ONE procedure that he never learned to do and never had the opportunity to see. They just don't offer it.

He also said that getting a residency (even if it's in OB/GYN) where you have the opportunity to perform/sit in on abortions, is really hard to find. In fact, if you express the desire to be part of one, it can effectively rule you out as a candidate depending on the philosophy of the group you're interviewing with.


And I ask, what the fuck? Last time I checked, abortion was still a legal procedure that's performed with a certain frequency on women from every racial and socio-economic group. Even at a public medical school, it's not offered as part of the official curriculum. I find this incredibly disturbing.

Does this trouble anyone else?
