The Life of an Egg

"In every child who is born, under no matter what circumstances, and of no matter what parents, the potentiality of the human race is born again." -J.Agee

Name:
Location: Los Angeles, California

I am addicted to Flamin Hot Cheetos, goat cheese, rainbow sherbet, and hummus. I want to meet Paul Farmer. I can't touch library books because they smell. I have a tattoo of the tree of life on my back. I have a problem with picking at my nails when I'm nervous, stressed out, or bored. I am irrationally proud of being from California. One of my main goals in life is to be a good person. And finally, please don't ask for medical advice, especially if it involves any sort of discharge.

pharmaceutical persuasion

it's a common dilemma in the medical profession. is it ethical to associate with pharmaceutical representatives and accept their fancy lunches, dinners, pens, mugs, post-its, ID holders, wireless mouses, etc., the list is endless.

today was our first day of orientation. at the end, a pharm rep came and gave us a spiel about infant formulas and then gave us "goody-bags" filled with "solid research" about their products, along with other Stuff. they gave us free shiny pink Harriet Lanes (the peds reference guide).

but they also gave us 5 Soft gels of Expecta Lipil, the DHA supplement for Pregnant and Nursing Moms. A free sample. You know. for all of us who are pregnant and nursing. and all of us who are MEN in pediatrics. :)
