adventures in disaster

well..that was certainly awful

Oh England
WTF?

Yes Portugal played like the whiny little drama queens they are..why was that surprising? Why would anyone react to these talentless crybabies that give football a bad name?
Figo and Maniche are ofcourse exempt..Christiano Ronaldo is not .
Rooney when are you going to grow the fuck up? They were pulling on your jersey not trying to murder your girlfriend in her sleep. You stomp a guys nuts for pulling on your shirt?
What will you do when you get an elbow to the mouth? Kill someone?
I love how you play the game but this immature lose your shit stuff is old, very old.
I don't want you roasted on a pit. I don't want what happened to Beckham in '98 to happen to you...hell I wouldn't wish that on al-queda but I think a minor, short lived thrashing may do you some good.
You are being paid millions of dollars to do something you love, you are paid as a professional, you really need to start acting like one. I know you are young but you aren't that young anymore okay?
I still love you but dude? It's a football game..There will always be some guy pulling on your shirt or your shorts or whacking away at your feet...It's their last line of defense...What? Did you think they were going to play fair? It's Portugal.


Christiano Ronaldo is a pussy. I have hated that little shit since the first time I saw him. I applauded when he burst into tears when he got whacked in the shin. This kid has perfected the dive with whiny cry baby face, he makes me want to vomit. He loves to go screaming to the ref over every imagined infraction, he is so obviously that kid in school everyone hated, the school snitch. He has run to Sir Alex almost daily crying about how the older players are mean to him...ever wonder why Keane got the boot? Yeah, he yelled at Ronaldo and made him cry..seems Ronaldo is not a team player and he got told....and Ronaldo promptly ran off screaming bloody murder. Ruud leaving and you wonder why? Ronaldo again..seems he wouldn't pass the damn ball, too busy passing it to himself and Ruud told him to cut out the grandstanding bullshit..Ronaldo ran sobbing off to mommy and Ruud went looking for a new club.
I hate the little prick and it is my fondest hope that Rooney uses his power at Manchester to get the little bastard sold to Juventus.
I hate Christiano Ronaldo for a multitude of reasons. I hate the way he wont pass the damn ball and instead thinks he is so slick and tricky. He has fifteen touches on the ball and by the time he has decided to stop preening the rest of the team is completely out of position. No one knows what the fuck he is doing with the ball, this is ofcourse his tactic for taking the shot..he makes it impossible for any other member of his own team to second guess his next move so he can always go for goal.Selfish little prick.
Next is his preening. This idiot does not make a move unless he sees himself on the television first.During the Portugal game he must have stopped twenty times to stare up at the giant television monitor..checking to make sure he looked just right for the boys I'm sure.
Worst is his bitching and moaning, he makes Rooney look like a member of the clergy. He falls down so often you would think he had two broken ankles, all wailing and crying until he gets what he wants then he is up and smiling. He polices the game with his never ending whining.
If I was the ref he would been red carded right along with Rooney.
Ronaldo belongs in Italy where the whining dive is part of the game and where I don't have to see him ever again.
It is my fondest wish that The master Zidane destroys this brat.

I am hoping France wins the World Cup..I think that Zidane deserves more than anyone that incredible moment before he retires. I also hope Henry scores a ton of goals that shut up those racist bastards in France.

I am very sad to see Beckham give up being England captain. Being Captain has been his dream and it sucks that he was made to fall on his sword because the coaching staff is a bunch of clueless fucking idiots. The midfielders played like amateurs and one striker up front has been a recipe for disaster since the dawn of fucking time.
Boy that Lampard sure sucked. Brilliant move to make him take a penalty kick first asshole..he hasn't been able to hit the net in weeks he was just brimming with confidence. You start with John Terry you dick and then move on...oh lord..my cat could have coached this team better. The fact that McLaren is taking over spells even more disaster. I can't tell you how much I hated seeing that white legged fool in his ill fitting shorts on the sidelines.
He is just going to more of the same except no Beckham. Only a fool would name Beckham to the team after he has given up being captain. He would be an albatross of past failure even if he was playing well.
I think the only person that kept England in the Cup was Beckham, it was his force of will that kept the team grinding away. If anyone had any imagination they would have played Beckham with Aaron, they would have had Crouch and Rooney up front and pulled Lampard off. I would have had Sol and Rio at the back with John Terry in front of them babysitting. Gerrard, Neville and JoeCole for support in the midfield.
They would have been impossible to beat. Think of Joe Cole and Aaron on each side with Crouch and Rooney in the center, think of Beckham, Neville and Gerrard feeding passes through, think of the brilliance of John Terry moving the ball to center and Rio and Sol using their heads for free kicks and corners.
These are all brilliant players...why the hell didn't the coach see where they belonged?
Oh, right..he didn't give a shit, he had already resigned.








On to something entirely different. Maria over at intueri has a post about what to do when med students fail their clerkships. She has some strong points. Medical school is expensive, like buying a big house expensive. Medical school is really hard. The stress is awful.
Sometimes people have a really bad time and don't perform well.
The question is how many kicks at this particular can should they get?
I think I would have to look at specifics.
I don't want to judge on those ridiculous "doesn't perform well within the team" statements.
I would need first hand accounts of each problem. Some people are assholes and label someone difficult when in truth they are the prick that gets crazy when the med student didn't print out their patient list in the thirty two seconds allotted.
A lot of times the "unsafe" tag gets applied when a student makes an error that would never have happened if they had been properly supervised. I cannot tell you how many times our fellows have been left to care for over forty critically ill patients by themselves along with having to reply to the code page. These are experienced doctors and they make mistakes that seem impossible..a med student left to their own devices to collect labs,xrays, medical histories will make errors. In my opinion they shouldn't be left alone.
With our med students we treat them like nursing students, they are never left alone to make decisions, we support them completely..even when their medical seniors wont.
Nurses remember their first days on an unfamiliar unit, scared witless most of the time, half the time unable to find supplies. No one should have to be left alone during that time.
We spend a crazy amount of time talking med students through "practice" rounds. We want them to be able to present our patient to the staff doc well, not just to make them feel a little more confident but to make sure our concerns are well represented. We also hate the ritual humiliation that is dripped over medical students so we do our best to make sure they know the answers to the most obvious questions.
In my hospital I know that my med student will become my resident and then my fellow and eventually some will become staff....I want them trained well.

I think after checking out the facts on why the clerkship went poorly I would then start the student again. I would make sure all parties had a chance to talk through each issue. Staff should have a chance to look carefully at what their responsibilities were in the first failure and understand that if they fail to live up to appropriate behaviour on the second go round the student will pass. If the student fails to live up to the responsibilities of their failure then they will fail.
I think everyone should get a second chance. If gross misconduct was discovered that could be considered pathological..lying about events, failing to show up etc then the student is expelled from the program.

If they fail on the second round it means they cannot be a doctor. There has to be a standard.
Ofcourse extenuating circumstances will apply..serious illness etc should be considered before expulsion. Hating your psych rotation doesn't count by the way..I hated, no I despised my psych rotation but I staggered through anyway, so you have to too.
To be completely fair I did get into some psychiatric illness, bipolar, schizophrenia were fascinating but any of the so called "personality disorders" made me ill. I could understand that the brain is an organ that could fail in it's duties just like any other organ. I could see that bipolar disorders,depression, schizophrenia could all be affected by medication that changes brain chemistry. I could also see that the "personality disorder" patients were mostly unaffected and then I realized they weren't ill, they were assholes. They were blaming asshole behaviour on mental illness and I wanted to smack them daily. Got drunk and killed a group of children? Not mentally ill...asshole. Lost your job and lied to the wife that you won the lottery, went on a spending spree that left you unable to pay your mortgage which you lied about and eventually your wife found out when the eviction notice showed up on the front door so she took the children and left and in retaliation you showed up at their new home and pretended to hang your self in the garage just as your oldest was getting off the school bus, asking her to please cut daddy down from the rope ? Not ill..asshole. Manipulative asshole. I really hated the psych ward. There were about five real patients and twenty manipulative jerks, there only to suck any and all sympathy from any dupe simple enough to offer it up.
They made me really crazy when they stole time from the real patients. Time is a huge thing in hospital. Doctors and Nurses have a limited amount of time to make real contact, a real relationship that may help someone very ill move towards some kind of peace. If resources are sucked up by idiots hiding out from being responsible, sucking compassion like vampires the truly ill will suffer for it.
The truly mentally ill need time and care, they don't get better with a few days of sympathy and an Ativan. They are wary, mistrustful..they don't seek you out and talk for hours about how tough their life is and why wont anyone take care of them..hell sometimes for days they wont talk at all.
They require hard work, not like the assholes that just need to be told they are wonderful four times a day. They don't get better all of a sudden when their disability check arrives.
The truly mentally ill challenge you, sadden you..sometimes they terrify you..they also remind you but for the grace of biochemistry they could be you and that is why I hated psych. No one wants to be reminded daily that your own brain can turn on you so savagely.
Well, not no one..some crazy docs like psych..heh.
