“I think Penn is much, much safer than other public schools and I don't know where you would find a school where you didn't find drugs...Actually, we probably have a different type drugs here because we have rich kids. We don't have crack, that's a poor-kid drug. And prescription pills are rich white-kid drugs.” -T. Carroll, spokesperson for Penn HS. full article here.
right, because that makes it all better.
my pathology lab professor, himself an M.D. Ph.D. in anatomical pathology, asked us to introduce ourselves by our name and where we went to school.
as soon as i said i went to "washington university in st. louis," he told the class how washu was a "great school - especially for pathology." then, he tells us that a doctor from washu, lauren ackerman, wrote one of the "gold standard textbooks of surgical pathology" in use today.
i don't know what he expects of me, but i don't think publishing a universally used textbook is anywhere in my future. i just hope i can differentiate between a kidney and a spleen...
thank you washu. thank you very much.
