Caffeine & Memory

This probably helped me, at least a little this semester. God bless you Red Bull.

But, while helping memory in short supply, 137 cans in a row of the caffeine in that stuff would kill me.

About The Blog

Medicine, healthcare policy, and random commentary from a medical student still on the naive side of the fence.

More About

I'm a third year medical student in Texas.

I did my undergrad work in USC's School of ~~Cinema-Television~~ Cinematic Arts. I have a Bachelors of Fine Arts in Writing for Screen & Television. I loved it, but a future of waiting tables and taking meetings with B-List producers was not for me.

This blog is ostensibly to discuss healthcare policy and maybe educate a few of my fellow medical students. But it will stray into current events, politics, and other science topics when they draw my interest

Other odd notes about me:

I've skied half the resorts on this list (Squaw Valley/Lake Tahoe, Snowbird/Park City, Whistler, Taos, Vail)
I "played" lacrosse in high school and through a club level team in college
I once stood at a urinal next to George Lucas
My favorite (if not the best) films: The Godfather, Dr. Strangelove, Peking Opera Blues, Monty Python and The Holy Grail, Hackers, Anchorman, Ikiru, Gladiator, Collateral, Slap Shot, Aliens
I'm a pretty good cook
The part of my brain allowing me to assimilate new languages is atrophic or broken or something
"Therefor I Travel." I've currently been to (if for too short a time): Mexico, Australia, Britain, France, Belgium, The Netherlands, Germany, Austria, Italy, Canada
I'm a big sports fan, especially college football and NBA basketball. My teams: USC Trojans, San Antonio Spurs, Texas Longhorns, Dallas Cowboys, Houston Astros, Duke Blue Devils (Lacrosse), West Ham United
