Working out, Dr Ex in charge Options

[+Ed+]

Ok, guys, not to flood Ray's topic, let's discuss workouts right here and maybe Ex will be able to give us all some advice.

I need some badly. Used to be a professional vollyball player, but after aninjury and fucked up doctors had to give up

used to be playing football each week, but now I hardly have any time to do that.

I need to shape myself a bit up. With my 198 height I weigh only 80 kgs. And feel vry well.

Is there any possibility of a workout for me?

No, I think we're done.

No, I think we're done.

Meanwhile, you're a med student who advised the Atkins diet. Good for you.

Yep, a 4th year med student who is board certified. I advised the Atkins diet for fast, substantial weight loss, which was his goal. It's good advice and I also warned him that the diet is generally unhealthy and will not work long-term. Credentials, please?

Ex, I respect very much that you are in med school. Your animosity towards me is completely understandable, cause it must be annoying to read some non-med guy trying to spit out medical information, although so much of my advice was not really med related. I think overall you would agree that if Pokey followed my advice, it would be good for him and he could reach his goal.

If you read your post, you did not explicitly say that Atkins was unhealthy. And if you know it is unhealthy, it will be your duty to not provide harmful advice, as per the Hippocratic oath. In general weight loss vs. health is a common misconception and it would have been prudent to let him know of a healthier way to reach his goal, even if that meant thinking long term.

You can attack my lack of credentials all you want, attacking me does not detonate that my argument is lacking.

Its amazing that you find time to post here being in med school! Precious little free time you got. Good luck w. those 30 hour shifts getting residency.

Not when you're already a board certified 4th year. I have 6 months of vacation during the remaining 9 months. I'm done, son! There are no more 30 hour shifts DURING residency (not "getting" residency like I'm at fucking Ellis Island). The maximum is 16 in a 24 hour period, with a minimum of 8 hours between shifts and a cap of 80 hours for 1 week. But, in child psychiatry, I won't work more than 40 hours a week anyway. What a weird attempted insult. What are your credentials, though, for the record?
