Well, I changed careers for a day.
I became a Doc. Not a physician, but a dwarf -- as in one of the seven dwarves. Me and some of my classmates dressed out for a school competition, having seven of us afflicted with hypothyroidism, a queen and a witch, the mirror and of course Snow White. We put our own spin on the fairy tale, giving the medical conditions of our dwarves (Sleepy was also called Narcolepsy, Dopey was Overdose, and as Doc I was also known as Obsessive Compulsive).
I think this was the first time I dressed up at all for Halloween in 19 years.
And yes, we won the competition, beating the EMT class that was dressed as a car wreck, some princesses from the medical assisting class, and a pregnant gypsy from dental assisting.
We could have gone with a scary theme, but instead went the Disney route. I think it's because we want to save the scary stuff for tomorrow. Nov. 1 is the first day of clinicals.

Oh my God. The Seven Dwarves with proper diagnoses. That is awesome. What were Sneezy, Bashful, Happy and Grumpy?
Let's see ... Sneezy was Hypochondria, Bashful was anxiety, Happy was Demetia, and Grumpy was Depression.
I didn't think of this until now, but Snow White could have been Pallor, the Queen and Witch could have been split personality disorder and the mirror could have been psychiatry.
"Some princesses from the medical assisting class" ...
Figures!
Congrats!
That's fantastic. You look so cute!
Thanks, cl and Erin.
Oddly enough, I was the only one who wanted to sing and whistle. I guess we didn't need it, anyhow.
And you even beat a pregnant gypsy from dental assisting! You are the only person I know who has ever done that. Good job. It sounded like fun.
