So, one of the cool things about this big old hospital is that the on-call sleep room for chaplains is with all of the physician on-call rooms. So, when things are a little slow, I can hobnob with the med students and residents. I enjoy the banter. They are fun people.
This also means that I have access to the showers. This is helpful when I am pulling a double or some such foolishness. One evening I was on call and was in the locker room "freshing up" and saw some graffiti. My first response was disappiontment. How could these people who are being trained to save lives stoop so low as to compose fiction (?) about their sexual exploits on the walls? Some of teh vandalism is that. Some of it is more medical in nature. People write about gladular disorders. They tease about how one student has trouble with drawing blood. It is all pretty silly when you get down to it. And doctors are just as likely as the cromagnon to want to write on the walls of caves.
So, I started to wonder what it would look like if the chaplains participated in this.
ALEX OVERSHARES!
or
CLIFF IS A MONTANIST!
Even better?
STAN LAYS ON HANDS!
What do you think?
