Yin Yang Weekend

Apparently it's Halloween this weekend. It's a weird mixture: gonna be costumed up in the evenings, all fancily dressed in the mornings. The former involves a Filipino ninja (complete with eskrima sticks) tonight and South Park's Satan (heaven and hell theme event) tomorrow. The latter involves learning some clinical exam skills: today was abdominal exam on each other, tomorrow is female pelvic/breast on standardized patients. Yes, we have clinical skill workshops on the weekend. At least tomorrow's is at 1030. Next week's is at 830. And male genital/rectal. Uncool. We practice most of the physical exam on each other, except for the genital stuff. You couldn't pay me enough to have clueless med students poking, prodding, and groping around aimlessly. Imo, you have to kind of like that stuff. The money's just an extra perk. Either way, I'm glad we have standardized patients for that.
