That piece of paper took 8yrs, and $250K+. Its weird to think I started in the online 914 community back in early undergrad. I have known many of you since then.

Dr. Mike - Congratulations! If anyone deserves that degree you do I know it was a lot of hard work and sacrifice on your part. Now comes the next phase residency. I hope you will get what you want and where you want to be.

Posted by: Dr Evil Jul 22 2009, 12:09 PM

Thanks for all the kind words, all

I am currently taking a year off to get my MPH on line. That is why I have lots of time to BS on the boards. That is also why I am living off of my transmission work

I will be applying for residency this Sept. I would like to do emergency, but I may have to go into family (my second choice) or even psychiatry (my third choice, but I kick ass in psych) due to the current market. This last match cycle found many new doctors scrambling for positions and getting their 3rd pick of career. This is due to the fact that programs have not increased their numbers of slots, but med school have significantly increased their number of students. Really dumb. Most programs are operating in the red in that they are paying out of pocket for some of their residents. The way residency works is that medicare pays for places to train residents. Thus, they determine how many you "need." This is dysfunctional. Most emergency departments are under staffed and even after paying to train some residents out of pocket they are still understaffed. With my MPH I should have an edge over the competition which will make it more likely that I will get what I want. The board scores for EM used to be from 185 (passing) to 210. This year it started at 210 as people who had aspirations of being surgeons were relegated to being EM docs. Everyone loses in that deal as now you have doctors who are unhappy and those that wanted the job are going to have to settle for another field where they will be unhappy, etc.

Congrats Mike,I hope it all works out.Will you be going back to the left coast.

Posted by: Borderline Jul 22 2009, 12:36 PM

Michael Daniel Lesniak M.D. who's that?

Funny, I don't recall a whole lot of people ever calling you "mister".

Congratulations Dr. Mike! You should be proud. It is quite an accomplishment.

Hershey School? chocolate doctor?

I think the price of trannies just went up!

Congratulations Doctor.

MPH = Master of Public Health

The Master of Public Health (MPH) degree is the most widely recognized professional credential for leadership in public health.

Posted by: ClayPerrine Jul 22 2009, 10:20 PM

Congrats Doc....

Now you can go to work and cure Dirk Wright's Disease.


Betty said "Now you can legally work on trannys... human and 914!"



And Elliot is right... they don't call the Beechcraft Bonanza the "Doctor Killer" for nothing........

So Dr. Evil is there a Carrera GT site? As soon as the school loans are paid off we might not see you anymore.

Posted by: Randal Jul 23 2009, 01:06 PM

That is simply a fantastic accomplishment Mike.

Congratulations.

Congrats! Higher education is a good thing. Put it to good use!

Titles are overrated in my book however. If youre a good Doc your work will speak for itself without title. Save title for dinner reservations, hotel upgrades etc.

Congradulations to the Evil one! Way to go!

Now you are actually liscensed to operate on trannies.

Posted by: swl Jul 24 2009, 05:11 PM

congratulations Mike. That's a huge accomplishment.

Posted by: charliew Jul 24 2009, 06:24 PM

Congratulation Mike. You have a great amount of sticktoativeness. I have known a few DR.'s but not really on a personal level and don't remember any that also play with transmission grease and 30 year old transmission parts.

It really won't hurt my feelings if you end up with a few carrera gt's in your life. After so much hard work it should be a thing that makes you feel like it's a reward. My GP actually let his corvette motor go bad from not changing the oil.

It's interesting that the mumbo jumbo in the political world is that there aren't enough doctors to meet the new health plan agenda yet it seems like some organizations aren't planning ahead at all.

It sounds like the MPH is an administrative position.

It seems like I remember the guy that wrote the motor oil 101 article was a Cardiologist. He knew the human blood system so he got interested in oil systems as a side venture. Maybe it was the similiarity of the fluid dynamics part or something.

Now if you could just make the 901 into a CV Tranny that would support about 700ft lbs. while you are resting.

Posted by: Rleog Jul 24 2009, 09:42 PM

Knowledge of the intricacies of the 914 and the human body/psyche.......what a unique combination.

Congratulations, and where will you be doing your residency?

Posted by: Travis Neff Jul 24 2009, 09:56 PM

So.... what's next?

Posted by: tod914 Jul 25 2009, 10:47 AM

Congrads Mike, now you can really give people the 3rd degree.

Posted by: smontanaro Jul 26 2009, 07:20 PM

Thank goodness! With Mike out of school he can devote more time to transmission repair!!! (Congratulations just the same.)

awesome achievement, Bravo Zulu!
from transaxle mechanic to meat mechanic is quite a leap. gears are less suseptible to infection. I think ER would suit you well
