Mommies, don't let your babies grow up to be surgeons

My uncle is a surgeon (one of the dudes who fixes fat people's arteries when they get clogged) and what can I say, it really sucks ass. Rather than working from 9 to 5 every day like most normal people, he gets to work from 5 to 9. Sometimes longer. He got a malpractice suit a few months ago for doing what somebody else thought was the wrong procedure, even though it saved the guy's life. And again for something his partner did that killed somebody. He's constantly stressed out because he almost never gets time off (has to be on call almost 24-7, too) and basically doesn't have any time for things ordinary non-surgeon people do like taking walks in the park or going fishing. Which, kids, is why you should never grow up to be one of the dudes who fixes fat people's arteries when they get clogged. 😐

Why dosent he quit?

you see... grown-ups have a thing called money. We use it to buy goods and services. Without money we can't buy food, or pay for rent. Without food we will starve to death.😐

hello, I'm gonna be neurosurgeon 😄

why does he post crap 😬

plastic surgeon?

Because he needs the dinero and he doesn't know how to do anything else 😐

If you're referring to me... It's because the Pad exists no longer for me to clog with my crap. So I put it here. 😐

The OTF seems strangely empty with out the Pad...

My aunts are both doctors (not surgeons, though) and they say that it's a really sucky job.

And the odd thing is, he's like one of the top fifteen surgeons of that kind in the country... 😑

I am bumping this thread so that KMC can continue to be warned of the dangers of this profession 🙂 😐

And if you do grow up to be one, don't move to Michigan! We're that fattest state you know, at least that's what Mrs. Debrabander tells me.

Really? That's kinda funny 😂
