About Me

Me am an organization that lets you hang out in cool cities with lots and lots of crazy med students from the rest of the country (really freaking cool); me am a defender of patients and of doctors and their ability to practice the best medicine they know how rather than the most appropriate medicine the HMO thinks they should; me am promoting public health and slimming down rather than BMI-ing up; me am here for you all day every day for you to batch and moan about whatever the heck you want to. Heck yes. Now get to sleep and get out there tomorrow and SAVE SOME LIVES AND REDUCE SOME BLOOD PRESSURES!!!!

My Interests

Helping people and stuff ... just trying to be good guys and/or gals depending on your persuasion.

I'd like to meet:

You, your friends, your friends' moms, their knitting groups, and the president of Malawi.

Music:

Yeah, we listen to it. Awesome music mostly, some kinda average stuff, but mostly awesome.

Movies:

Dude, we have more movies than anyone except for Rob and Jack (names changed to protect the innocent). THEY are like the Kim Jong Ils of movie collecting - LOTS of movies with about 5'3" of spunk behind them.

Television:

We get 3 channels, 2 are snowy, 1 clear one is FOX. Hey - is that a Burger King commercial or a documentary on the raising of hybrid guinea pigs/cheetahs?

Books:

No more books please.

Heroes:

Ummm ... let's see, Sammy Davis, Jr., Michael Moore for not caring how he looks or what he says, Jesus for rocking, Thomas the Tank Engine for being uber-blue, and Dr. Werner for making our lives more confusing than we ever imagined possible.

Oil 1: Supply, Demand and the Futures ...
