Choice quotes from lecture week
"Have you never felt a clitoris in your life?" -- Dr Adrian Wagg to D, when challenged about erectile dysfunction in women.
"What's the name of that chef who says fuck a lot?" -- Prof Malone-Lee, comparing a colleague to Gordon Ramsay.
"And that is why you should never prescribe diuretics for it, because you'll be dead and I will end up in prison." -- ditto, on giving furosemide in dependent oedema.
"This is the last lecture I get to give you as medical students... that makes me feel very sad." -- Dr Raymond Macallister.
"Wow, this is like being at church." -- RM going through EMQs with us answering in unison.
"So can you get that from trying it just once...? Even if it was a while ago?" -- A, after an anecdote about a 21-year-old popstar with coronary vasospasm after snorting cocaine.
And finally, one of Alex's mates from the Silicon Valley was down visiting and happens to be a director at facebook.com:
Ru -- "So the thing that really bothers me is the fact that you've got all this information about us and our friends and that basically gives you the power to use it for any future purpose that we can't foresee, although we've already been sucked into the great Facebook machine."
J -- "Well, you know... with great power comes great responsibility,"
Ru -- "You mean like Spiderman."
J -- "What? Oh haha. That's funny."
In between propping up my levator palpebrae with a tonne of legal stimulants I have decided on my reading list from the 15th of June:
1. The French Lieutenant's Wife, finally
2. Le Cool Barcelona in preparation for my 5th visit after the Oxford Ophthalmological Congress
3. The Female Nude: Art, Obscenity and Sexuality, for the summer art history course I'm doing in between
Can't wait!!
