Face Of New Orleans

I’ve discovered that those involved in the medical community, although great people, are just a smidge pompous. I haven’t determined this from a bad or series of bad experiences with those in question, moreover from reading medical textbooks. Currently, my literary choice is limited to Histology: A Text And Atlas. Now, I am one to enjoy the use of “big words,” however there comes a time when one must ask oneself, “do I sound intelligent, or merely a royal prick.” Here’s some examples just so you will be enlightened: reniform and erythrocyte. Reniform-Having the form or shape of a kidney. Erythrocyte-a mature blood cell (more specifically red). Now, I’m well aware that saying “reniform” is somewhat shorter than “kidney-shaped,” and “erythrocyte” sounds a bit more intelligent than merely stating “red blood cell,” but after about 400 or so pages of pompous jackasses making me get out a dictionary for non-medical words, I grew a bit tired. It would be one thing if it were to take more time to understand the creation process of a red or white blood cell, but it takes more to find out what “granulopoiesis” means. Barg……….that’s how I feel about these people…..just barg. “It’s a monochromatic blending of calcified ectoplasm” a.k.a. “it’s eggshell.” Just something to ponder.
