cranquis replied to your post: Who Wants to Play a Game?
I’m having trouble coming up with literature titles — but how about the famous Jackie Chan movie, “Borborygmi in the Bronx”?
Great one! It’s even more perfect for ZDoggMD’s “GastroenteritisMovies.”
Hey guys! Welcome as always to the new followers! Remember that the ask/submit box is always open (feel free to ask me wacky questions like Doc Cranquis does :))!
If you’re following me, it’s most likely because you love literature, the humanities and medicine as much as I do, and love the mission of intertwining them.
That being said, you’ll probably enjoy Dr. John Whittemore’s blog too. I found him via Doctor D on Twitter. Dr. Whittemore is a physician and writer based in Atlanta, and he’s working on his Great American Novel!
Doctor D is also an online persona of a real doc (like Dr. Cranquis!) and he’s hilarious - he tweets and rambles about various doctor-patient relationships.
So, what are ya waiting for, go click those follow buttons! (Oh yea, and if you care about following my meanderings on Twitter also, here’s the link ;))
cranquis replied to your post: You are in an exam room, waiting for the doctor. There are three drawers: one with tongue depressors, one with bandaids, and one with surgical lube. You have 60 seconds to wreak havoc. WHAT DO YOU DO?
The bandaid on the otoscope is a nice touch. Perhaps a dab of lube around the eyehole, too? Well done, you have advanced to level 2.

cranquis asked: You are in an exam room, waiting for the doctor. There are three drawers: one with tongue depressors, one with bandaids, and one with surgical lube. You have 60 seconds to wreak havoc. WHAT DO YOU DO?
Open all the drawers and keep them open. Squeeze out all the lube in a squiggly squaggly design all over the room. On the floor. On the walls. On the bed (I mean why am I even there? Havoc is my first, middle, and last name).
Take the tongue depressors and stick ‘em on to the lubricant, spelling out my initials (well, only the initials of my alter ego). Break the rest into halves and just throw ‘em around and see wherever they land and stick.
Open as many bandaids as possible and stick them on the walls.
Oh, and since I’m in the exam room anyway, throw all the instruments out of their respective places. Put a bandaid on the otoscope too.

Hahaha, you’re next Dr. Cranquis!… just kidding :p
