If you have not heard the story let me fill you in.... According to Jimbo Moss (who is his 3rd year of medical school) there are individuals out there that use the ER as their primary care facility. In other words anyone reading this blog would go to a local clinic for the flu or stomach bug, but these people go directly to the ER. In doing that they have learned the ropes of how the ER works. They have also learned that real doctors wear long coats and student doctors (Matt) wear short coats. If a "short coat" doctor comes in to see them they immediately ask for a "long coat" doctor! This information has proved valuable to me at the local clinic when I had the flu, the "long coat" doctor left me with a "short coat" doctor and it did not turn out well. It has also proved valuable to Lisha as she has been able to keep the "short coat" doctors away from her baby (no offense Matt). Every time I ask Matt about some medical condition his answer is always "I don't know, we have not gotten there yet." He will be there before we know it though. This first year has flown by, only 10 more to go, but he will be in a long coat in 3 more years!!
