This Could Be a Job For Mulder and Scully

Greetings!!!

November 7, 2008

Back in med school days every transcribers’ dream and every readers’ nightmare is this tiny portion at the end of each transcription called… Greetings! Fonts and paragraphs and spacing allotted for the actual lecture transcriptions are meticulously arranged in such a way as to make a lot of excess room for… Greetings! Not knowing of course that such greetings will document… heartaches!!! Heartaches, indeed, for those who found love in the anatomy dissection table and lost it all afterwards. Because truly, all that formalin must have distorted everyone’s concept of love or something. Such greetings also document a multitude of cringe-a-thons. For instance: DETOX, anyone? Anybody want to go DETOX in ROB after the ANATOMY EXAM? Speaking of which, is the term DETOX still in current use? Or did it just die out the way of CS (Counterstrike), Diner’s, and Backseat Boys?

So in the spirit of those old transcription greetings, here are some rather kitschy… greetings!!!

Hey, Myra and Ditz! Can’t believe you watched Coldplay. And in such close proximity to the stage too. I should go there sometime, then we can watch Keane and Coldplay, and in the summer go to Cabo! Cabo!!! You know like we can go to the prom and all and I can introduce you to Stephen and stuff and then you’ll probably make out in the car and stuff! Hey, Jeff and Tin, can’t believe you’ll be starting in December already! I hope you don’t test positive for syphilis the way I did! Hey, Mar, shall be lugging around that huge green audit bag again soon to FT, hope you’ll still be W&A to FT in GJ. Hey, Kathy and Jhana! I would just like to say that I quit lurring as of ten minutes ago, but I’ve just changed my mind and am lurring right now!!! Hey Mrs. Therese! Hope you’re all well-recovered and sound, we should eat isaw and kidneys again soon! Hey, non-Kathy IM residency batchmates! None of you is reading this, so I can freely write about you in this blog!!! In gossipy non-integrity!!! Haven’t done it before, but the potential for callroom dirty stories is endless!!! Hey Len-Len and Abe! May you continue to live the American Dream! Hey Les, Rain, Calvin, Niko, and your entire block! May you all find love in some bookshop in Germany or Vienna or something like Donna!!! Heya, Queenie! I am yet to look for a bowtie and bling bling!Hey, Netty Jao! I’ve been looking all over—where the heck are you?!?

There. Kitschy much, eh?
