Yes, the exam is finished, hopefully successfully (results available in a mere 2 months!)

Also, it is the Medical Council of Canada which charges $2000 for a test; a test which the overwhelming majority of Canadian graduates pass (in no small part because Canadian universities spend a good deal of time preparing us for such an exam).

Moreover, the test covers general medicine but can only be taken at least one year after the beginning of residency, when many residents training to become specialists are at least 1 year and more likely 2-3 years away from their last experiences managing deliveries and dealing with children and they will never have to do either of those things again.

Who says the system makes sense?

Now, just one more $3000 test left in May. Woo!

Don't worry Albert. I'm sure most women aren't looking for a man who's as reliable as their dishwasher either. ;) They're just dumb pie charts, after all. ... and I also don't think you're supposed to combine different pies and charts like that.

Though, I was amazed at the number of leather jacket references. Not all leather jacket-wearers are scumbags. I have a fair amount of evidence to support that.

I don't think those chart are super accurate or are they?...

I usually if the weather permits wear a leather jacket and drive a small car, what is that suppose to mean?

I thought someone here might enjoy this

So, uh, judging by the, uh, bathing beauty you posted, Par, I'm guessing one of three things has happened within the last three days:

a) You survived your $2000 test with your sense of humour still intact

2) Zantac has taken over your life (ack, please no!)

iii) You have escaped to the beach and are attempting a new life that somehow involves cross-dressing men in surprisingly nice-looking pink one-piece bathing suits.


Here's hoping it was the first one. ... by the way, who charges $2000 for a test? Were you applying to join the ol' boy's club? ;)

hee hee

Par: Good Luck! I'm sure you'll do fine.

Beck: Sorry for not showing up yesterday had to do house stuff. I'll try to see Edison at a later date.

Damnit. Khadr pleads guilty. What a farce. There had better be a plea deal.

Good luck on that exam Par!

Alison, we're out visiting Par (and diving of course) from Nov 6 - 17th.
