New to CF

[scigirl]

Hello,

I'm a medical student in Denver, and an atheist. I lurk at CF from time to time, and I was inspired to register after reading someone's experience with a bad doctor in this thread.

I used to post at the Baptist Board as "froggie" and I remember thinking that a lot of people there had trouble accepting scientific and medical explanations for things they considered sins such as being overweight, drinking and doing drugs, and mental illnesses. So while I'm certainly not here to "deconvert" anyone, I hope to have fun interjecting science tidbits into medical discussions here. To me, religion and science don't have to be in conflict, but sometimes dogmatic adherence to ideas (both religious or secular) can lead to problems!

Well that's my intro. I am truly amazed at the sheer volume of fora here - the mods must stay really busy! I probably won't post a whole lot since medical classes keep me pretty busy. You'll probably see me in the Recipe Exchange, and the Fitness/Health/Medicine fora. I'm looking forward to chatting with y'all about health and stuff!

Scigirl! Woo!

This is a happy day for the board.

Hey seebs!

12 thou posts, seebs, that's impressive. That's quadruple my count over at "that other place!"

So I already have a question or two. Do I get automatic blessings just for posting? Or am I already getting blessed because of my amazingly written posts?? I suspect the former....

And - why is there a brain near my name? Is that for being an atheist, or a med student? Or is this forum psychic and knows that I'm considering neurology?

One blessing per post. The brain thing is the "atheist" symbol.

There's other ways to get blessings. It waffles between showing respect for good ideas and being a popularity contest. You should be set either way.

The scary thing about my post count is that I took a 6-month vacation, and I was probably actually about another 500 posts higher before the database crash last summer. I've only got about 4k at IIDB.

Thanks, seebs.

Maybe I should post my pic - seems to work over at II!

(for the mods - don't worry it's not obscene! )

Hiya and welcome. I'm in to first aid so perhaps we can compare notes

 

[scigirl]

Thanks for the welcomes, everyone.

First aid - cool! Although I doubt we can compare notes - I swear they don't teach us anything practical the first couple of years!

Wow this forum has lots of gadgets and smilies and things.

A Science Tid Bit :
Didn't some one note that our bodies , right after death , seem to weigh several pounds less than they did in life ( apart from the bowel or bladder contents ... ) = ergo , the spirit that just left , weighed some thing ?
