That's a generalization, it's toolish to denigrate an entire profession, all I've ever wanted to do is fly but that doesn't make me and arbiter of everybody's hopes and dreams.

 

In that case you can't come down much slower than a Cirrus under canopy.

Just ignore the clown. I keep waiting to see if he'll have anything enlightening to add to the conversation, and... Well, it's been a lot of waiting.

 

Wrong.

I am a member of a medical forum and actively volunteer at a hospital to satisfy my desire to be in medicine. I'd love to be in medicine as an MD or DO, particularly emergency medicine, I find it fascinating. That said, I'm also quite happy flying around the world.

 

Its a funny and tragic place to work--all at the same time. Mostly spend your nights passing out Dilaudid and Percocets to all the crackheads. Occasionally you get to save someone.

 

It was a joke. You guys see the emoji? Sheesh, SNAPs.

(PS, my BS is in Biology, and I passed the MCATS, but decided to not go to med school cause I realized I'd have a horrible bedside manner. And the medical field is better off for it.)

 

An engineer could not find a job, so he opens a clinic, and puts a sign outside that says
“Get treatment for $50: if not cured, get back $100.”
A doctor thinks this is a good opportunity to show up the engineer and earn a quick $100. He visits the clinic.
Doctor: “I have lost my sense of taste.”
Engineer: “Nurse, bring the medicine from box no 22 and place 3 drops in the patient's mouth.”
Patient (doctor): Spits out the medicine and says, "This is not medicine, its petrol".
Engineer: “Congrats... You have your taste back ... that will be $50”
Doctor gets annoyed, and returns after several days to recover his money.
Doctor: “I have lost my memory and can't remember a thing.”
Engineer: “Nurse, bring medicine from box no 22 and put 3 drops in the patient's mouth.”
Doctor: "This medicine is for the sense of taste," protests the doctor.
Engineer: “Congrats. Your memory is back... that will be $50.”
Doctor leaves, but after several days angrily returns for one last try.
Doctor: “My eyesight has become weak.”
Engineer: “Well I don't have any medicine for that. Take this $100.”
Doctor: “But this is $50 note.”
Engineer: “Congratulations, your eyesight is better... that will be $50”

 

Where did you get a Henny Youngman record?

 

Oh, that Henny Youngman!
Which reminds me of a couple of his one liners that somewhat apply to this profession:

Getting on a plane, I told the ticket lady, "Send one of my bags to New York, send one to Los Angeles, and send one to Miami." She said, "We can't do that!" I told her, "You did it last week!"

There was a girl knocking on my hotel room door all night! Finally, I let her out.

My hotel room is so small, the mice are hunchbacked.

I just got back from a pleasure trip. I took my mother-in-law to the airport.

The food on the plane was fit for a king. "Here, King!"

If my mother knew I did this for a living, she'd kill me. She thinks I'm selling dope.

For the doctor side: My doctor grabbed me by the wallet and said, "Cough!"

 

Yeah, no doubt about that. I've done volunteer work in the ED and worked there during my EMT training. Pros and cons.

 

My bad. I'll turn up my emoji sense.
