I just spent the last two hours talking with a good friend at Starbucks about how I’m in the process of getting screwed out of another two papers that I’ve done work for. Why am I asked to do work for a research “publication” if 1) there’s no intention of ever publishing it or 2) someone else is [...]
Four call nights and one GI virus in the last nine days and I’m done. That’s it my peeps. I am officially done with all call nights (and viral infections) for medical school. The next two weeks should be smooth sailing. Knock on wood–because right about now is when the bottom drops out. Anyway, I [...]
I’ll be at the hospital until 5pm today but otherwise wanted to share some Valentine’s day love to my readers:
Uh oh–the end of the month is nearing and you know what that means! That’s right: back by popular demand a-gain, it’s Final Countdown by Europe. Take 5 minutes, sit back and enjoy…

So I’ve been at the blogging thing now for almost 3 months and I can’t believe it, but people have actually been reading my blog. In particular, I have noticed a group of readers who check in on a regular basis to see what’s going down on mudphudder.com. Maybe like 5 people, 4 of whom [...]
What is it about professional wrestling that makes it the common denominator for every red-blooded male regardless of age, race, socioeconomic status or health? From the lowliest of lows to the highest of highs, no male can help but to crack a smile at the thought of professional wrestling. And you know why? Because no matter who you are, [...]
What is it with people who put their arms on your seatback while you are sitting in the chair? This is one of the Mudphudder’s pet peeves. Whether it’s on an airplane, theater, whatever, I find it to be a pretty darn annoying violation of my space when people decide to grab a hold of my [...]
If you want to see hot shoes, go to Dr. Isis’s blog and her shoes of the week. If you want to see shoes that are not hot, continue on for my ratty hospital clogs. From less than a year of clopping around the hospital, note the lovely asymmetric heal wear on my Dansko clogs from [...]
Am I the only fourth year medical student interviewing for residency who is concerned with the fact that some birds took down a U.S. Airways A320 plane? Everyone’s probably heard about this, but a flock of geese blew out both engines on this plane and forced it to land in the Hudson river today.
To make [...]
You know, the mudphudder is not a mean guy. I think I’m pretty nice. My friends think I’m pretty nice. Maybe. But I really don’t like traveling for work and I definitely do not like traveling for residency interviews while I am on clinical rotations and have active research projects going [...]
You know me. I can see you eyeing me as the P.I. gives me a tour of the lab. The P.I.? Yeah–that’s the individual slobbering at the thought of my joining the lab. That’s right…you know who I am. I’m a producer. I don’t talk much–I let my work ethic do the talking–but when I do [...]
I’m sitting here watching the movie My Cousin Vinny for the 562nd time, lip-synching to every line in the movie and I’m thinking, this is the greatest movie ever made. Classic lines:
“Whoa! Wait a minute!”
“It’s the south–they’re all inbred–they sleep with their sisters… Some of them do”
“You wah serious about dat?”
“You’re in Ala-f’in-bama, you come from [...]
And I wonder how it can be that there is a worldwide obesity problem amongst children of all cultures, including those that have traditionally embraced exercise and healthier foods.
