Signout is hospital slang for the transfer of information between patient care teams. It is also the name of this blog, which represents one of the less dysfunctional ways in which Dr. Signout copes with her participation in a U.S. medical residency program.

I love this*:

To the left, next to "Paediatrics," I'd add, "Hates adults and children and self" > "Med-Peds."

Also need Hates males -> OB/Gyn and maybe Hates females -> Urology.

Maybe too: Is an asshole -> Proctology ;-)

My result was paediatrics...

BTW, I published the first issue of Gene Genie, a blog carnival on genes and gene related diseases, in case you're interested.

Good to see you here!

Hmm - dunno if I agree, I was more thinking along the lines that
Hates adults and children and self = family therapy

Hates Everyone - that'd be a category I'd add.

When it came time to make my choices, I chose technology over medicine. But I'm lazy like that.

It worked perfectly for me. I'm Emergency Medicine. :-)

Hmm...according to this I should have been an opthalmologist. WRONG

My result was psychiatry.

It works!

I suppose that Nephrology is included in medicine. So it also worked for me.

I have to disagree with this. I could never get to ob-gyn ('cause it's not in there). I think it should be somewhere under crazy. ;)

For the record, a friend of mine is in psychiatry, and he's actually the sanest of our group of friends. I think the overal sanity level of psychiatrists is just a well camoflauged secret. They have to keep it secret. It's written in the Sanity Claus... (sorry!)
