I just finished watching Juno for the second time today. Given my former life, I couldn't help but notice the glaring absence of an OBGYN (or any medical personel, for that matter) given that this is a TEEN PREGNANCY MOVIE! The ultrasound tech and the pair of hands holding up Juno's baby are as close as they get. This disappoints me. I think Diablo Cody could've gotten some great comedic mileage out of a scene where Juno visits her OBGYN.
Juno's OB: How many times have you been pregnant?
Juno: Unless someone creamed in my jeans when I wasn't looking, this one would be, well numbero uno, señor.
Juno's OB: How long have you been sexually active?
Juno: What does that even mean? Are you asking, 'when did Juno's vag dot com go live?'
Juno's OB: Ok, now we're going to need to do an internal exam...
Juno: Yeah, I know. Spread my legs so you can use that gunk to open up my junk.
I had originally intended this post to be about something else, entirely. Anyway, here's a pretty funny Olde English parody of Diablo Cody.
So, in general, we at jamesloganmd.com will try very hard to publish our own content and to shy away from simply posting links to other people's content while we bask in the reflected light of their creative brilliance. But when I saw this youtube video, I couldn't resist - a parody of Nickelback's I Wanna Be a Rockstar that would make Weird Al Yankovic green with envy. Thanks, Gruntdoc for pointing me to it!

I'm not sure how much I've related in previous posts, but here's the scoop. I left my previous job as an OB resident back in mid-February. My decision had as much to do with subjecting myself to another two and a half years of OB residency as it did with needing a change in career path. I think both reasons were equally vaild. It was around the beginning of November that plans began to coalesce. My girlfriend was subletting a place on the west coast. I would go live with her while I continued interviewing for family medicine spots and studying for Step III of the medical licensing exam. I'd have a nice little vacation coming up because residency programs universally start at the end of June. By the end of November I had my plans in order and I went to inform my program that my last day of work would be January 1st. They, of course, had been gracious enough to provide letters of recommendation so they knew I was leaving. It was certainly no suprise to them.
They went BALLISTIC. The department chair actually accused me of being "unethical" for leaving with such short notice (i.e. 30 days). I'm not sure how much notice I was required to give. My contract specified 30 days. On what day would it have become ethical for me to leave? We had a long argument about it. In the end, not wanting to leave on bad tems, I gave them another 6 weeks and left in mid-February.
And now I'm enjoying myself on the beautiful, sunny west coast in anticipation of starting over again as a family medicine resident. We start June 16th.
Last thing - until I figure out where to put my contact info on this blog, you can email me here: jamesNOSPAM AT jamesloganmd DOT com. Make sure to get rid of the 'NOSPAM' part :)
So, I've been spending hours over the past couple of days making some improvements to my site. Since I don't really know what I'm doing, it takes a long time. It's almost to where I want it; there is light at the end of the tunnel!
Been a long since I published anything! I'm going to start blogging regularly again but, in the meantime, here is a map of all the countries I've ever visited:
