He's as outrageously talented and as masterfully in command of that talent, in his way, as Flynn was in his, but alas he buckles no swashes in the OR.

Now that I pointed it out, the attending surgeons is kind of in love with the typo and doesn't want to change it. Since it's only in the written narrative and not the billing documentation, and he's only second assistant, she may be able to get away with it. This is, after all, the same university where a lab chief's golden retriever has eight second-author publications to his name.

A friend's father was a doctor. When my friend was a kid and the family dog sick, her dad took it to the hospital and had an MRI done. Later, a friend of his used the MRI data in a class, in a "What is wrong with this patient?" thing.

Eventually the class did figure out it was a dog.

My parents have goldens. Sweet but not the smartest. You'd think that poodles would be more likely to be published. Goldens are like the stoner slackers of the canine world.

Cass, heh!

OTOH, a stoner slacker dog is much more likely to just loaf around in the lab doorway amiably snoozing and much less likely to careen around looking frantically for a Job To Do and ploughing into centrifuges and coolers of dry ice and such.

I dunno - a stoner dog might get the munchies and eat the dry ice.

I've long had my suspicions about some of our authors...

Timelies all!

Hmm, my old boss at Duke used to bring his dog into the lab from time to time, but as far as I know he never put the dog as an author on his papers.

You have not met my sister's Golden. There's a reason she is called the Demon Dog. If you don't give her something to do every moment, she will invent something to do, usually something associated with food on the counters, dirty underpants, or footwear.

She is ridiculously pretty, I will grant you; but she's a demon under that glossy coat and big brown eyes.

So cute!

An organization here, Catholic Charities, maybe?, sent a team of 10 stoner slacker dogs (with handlers) to hang with relatives and victims in Newtown.
