Not allowed to attend orientation?
Posting this for a friend...
Signed a contract, contract stated something to the effect of this being a tobacco-free program, and evidence of the contrary would result in termination.
So, urine gets dipped and is positive for nicotine and metabolites.
The program director is notified and informs the orientee to not attend orientation until further notice.
What's your guys' take? I think the orientee should wait until further notice (reportedly at noon the next day) since it's a hassle...

Modern Medicine does little to extend life
Elsevier: Article Locator
Great article discussing how life is really only extended through smoking cessation, physical activity, stress reduction, weight control and good sleep.
CABGs, Stents, Statins, etc have done almost nothing to extend life despite spending 100s of billions to trillions on this stuff.
Interesting to think about. (Source: Student Doctor Network)

Attendings... were you absolutely smoked after residency?
The flogging has finally caught up to me. It freaks me out bc I'm about to graduate and have zero energy. Between working my ass off as a resident, research, studying for boards, and moonlighting to pay off the mountain of debt I have little in the tank left.
Now, I am trying to get motivated to hit the ground running as an attending and it's a little intimidating to say the least.
You guys catch your second wind after you transition to attendinghood? (Source: Student Doctor Network)
