You might wanna keep that in...

What up, here's my radiology blog. Hope you enjoy.

Starting the year at Riverside regional working in the ED fast track. It is basically a mini-urgent care center within the hospital's emergency room. Tonight I had the much coveted and highly sought after opportunity to lance (cut into) an abscess (giant zit) located in a dude's inner thigh, about a cm or two away from his junk-bag.

Picture me, some gloves, a dude's hairy nether-region, a very sharp scalpel, a bright light, and pure determination in my eyes as I go in for the kill. As I begin to slice into the skin, this guy floats an air biscuit straight into my face. Unfortunately it wasn't a mild aroma, but rather had a flavor more similar to an overflowing port-a-potty sitting in 100 degree heat for a couple days. Not a good idea to do that to the guy with an extremely sharp knife less than an inch away from your reproduction equipment. I couldn't believe this dude just farted in my face. It was extremely difficult for me to hide my disdain and remain professional as I drained his large junk-pimple, but I am proud to say I kept a straight face, finished as quickly as I could and high tailed it out of there. I think I passed my first real challenge of internship with flying colors.

Also of note, I prescribed a female some antibiotic the other day to which she replied that I needed to give her something for yeast because "that stuff be tear'n my kootchie up!" I think that means she was worried about getting a yeast infection.
