QUOTES

Even in medicine, though it is easy to know what honey, wine and hellebore, cautery and surgery are, to know how and to whom and when to apply them so as to effect a cure is no less an undertaking than to be a [veterinarian].

Aristotle, 384-322 BC

Whenever I watch TV and see those poor starving kids all over the world, I can't help but cry. I mean I'd love to be skinny like that, but not with all those flies and death and stuff.

Keep your wits about you.

Dr. Wally Cash, DVM

Work twice as hard and expect half as much.

Don't be screwin' around, you don't have the genetic potential.

What Dr. Dan's Dad said to Dr. Dan when he went to college.

I'd rather have a terrorist standing next to me than a Frenchman. (~15 min. later) Oh, I forgot about that, that's another reason I don't like the French, they eat horses.

Dr. Dee Griffin, DVM

In the book of life there's only two women, big ol' good ones and good ol' big ones.

Ice Cube, HipHopper

Dr. Sanjay Kapil, DVM

Now you can either stand around here eatin' jambalaya or you can come upstairs and eat my ass!

I'm a McGriddle away from this being the best morning of my life.

Artie Lang, OCCG (overweight comedian, compulsive gambler)

Our scars have the power to remind us that the past was real.

Dr. Hannibal Lecter, CFB

No amount of genius can overcome a preoccupation with detail.

Marion Levy Jr, PhD

It's better to burp and bear the shame than not to burp and bear the pain.

Grandpa Martin, RIP

Well, I want to try everything in life.

When I gotta poop, I gotta poop.

Heather Rose Martin, CFG (crazy freak girl)

It gets right ugly.

Just one of dem days

Just one of dem days

Though today was a holiday, it ended up being crazy. I had to get up at 6:30 this morning to quick get to school at 7am to deal w/ my new horse patient. I ended up being there until 10am and then when I tried to go home my scooter wouldn't start. Luckily Nina was on emergency so she let me take her car home. I ended up falling into a not-so-good sleep dreaming of dumb stuff like hills my scooter couldn't make it up, Oliver the cat (RIP) peeing literally a lake over my bed, etc. I woke up to have some lunch and get Nina's car back to school by 3pm so she could get home. I was going to either try my scooter or go to the rec. I tried my scooter and still it wouldn't start so I walked over to the rec only to realize it was closed so I went back to my scooter and for some reason it finally started. Guess I kicked it just right. Went home and thawed, it was cold outside and when I was warm enough, went outside for my 2 hr. and 20 min. run. The first 2 miles sucked but then it got good. I fell into a decent rhythm and had a good run. I got home just in time to shower and head back to the school for my 7pm check on the horse. Again my scooter wouldn't start so I had to ride my bike to school, after just running ~14 miles and not eating or drinking anything. I ended up being at school until 10pm doing all this crap with my patient, getting fluids ready, doing bloodwork, with lots of difficulties. Now I'm starving!! my legs are tired and I'm tired. So I had to ride my bike home and what do ya know? I get pulled over by a fucking cop, again! (remember when they pulled me over on my scooter? and remember I've never been pulled over in a car or in any other place than Manhattan, KS) for running a stop sign at a 4-way when he was approaching one of the stop signs. Whatever! He didn't give me a ticket, but threatened a $120 one, but it was just enough already after the rest of the day and it was cold out and late and I just wanted to get home. When I got home I finally got to eat: a frickin' bowl of Special K almond cereal. Nothing else at this point seemed worth eating. So what is the lesson for the day? Fuck tha police!
