Gynecologically Disturbing...

Some things that I heard today during my OB-Gyn lecture on "Dysfunctional Bleeding" this afternoon:

  • "Yeah those ballerinas are dancing their ovaries into oblivion."
  • Something heard from the lips of DeBakey in the good ole days when he still performed surgeries: "What's the difference this hand and your hand? This hand (pointing to his own hand) is connected to this brain (pointing to his own head)."
  • "Guys, don't get a cremasteric reflex when I tell you this..." ((You may access this website if you're not familiar with a cremasteric reflex. I refrain from explaining it here. http://www.gpnotebook.co.uk/cache/228196357.htm))
  • "Dysfunctional bleeding is a physiological event in early puberty, and after your first few periods, you then take off the runway and you'll just fly away..."
Stay tuned for some stories from my interview in Pittsburgh...
