Thursday a.m. Rangers stuff

PrintA very blah game yesterday. Max Scherzer was on, and it almost seemed like the Rangers were satisfied having taken two in Detroit, and were looking towards this big four game series against Anaheim that starts today.
Jeff Wilson's game story identifies the fourth inning as the key to the game, when Michael Young was left stranded at third after a leadoff triple.
T.R. Sullivan's game story quotes Josh Hamilton as saying it felt "flat" in the dugout yesterday.
Evan Grant has a story up about Cliff Lee, who he identifies as being the key to this upcoming stretch of 7 games against Anaheim in 11 days.
Jeff Wilson also has a story up about Lee, and his assuming the role of the Rangers' ace.
Sullivan's notes talk about the status of unsigned draft picks, and Darren Oliver's plan to pitch in 2011 for the Rangers if his option kicks in.
Wilson's notes include some quotes from Thad Levine, about the Rangers deciding to forego signing any international free agents in order to dedicate that money towards helping the major league team in 2010.
Barry Shlachter has a story up on yesterday's bankruptcy hearing, including highlights of the testimony of Chuck Greenberg and Nolan Ryan.
Meanwhile, Jennifer Floyd Engel has a column up urging the fans to rally together, get a lawyer, and show up in court to do...something, I'm not sure what.

I have tickets tonight in section 325L
Anyone know what the “L” means? Someone on the last thread guessed it meant lower, but was just wondering if anyone knew. Thanks.

325 is in the upper deck.
The “3” is the deck number. I think the L means it’s in the lower portion of section 325.

I bought tickets for tonights game (in section 236)
specifically to see Lee pitch for the Rangers. I may try to see a few more of his games. I’m not sure if it’s a good thing he’ll pitch twice against the Yankees or not.

uh
85% of my job is as a “driving secretary.” I drive 100+ miles a day and take a handfull of reports that tie up most of my time. I’ll get into something physical about once a week MAYBE. And usually it’s not that physical. That’s why you see a lot of fat cops…this job reallly is just as sedentary as one you’d find at Initech or Inertrobe. The difference is we can drive our offices to the McD’s drive through, so we get fatter faster, have bad backs/legs/knees AND every once in a while, we have to wade out of the hamburger wrapping papers and empty french fry containers to sprint 200 yards jumping fences after someone and then fight them into cuffs at the end. Which is a big reason why I try to take care of myself….the most commong “In the Line of Duty” cause of death? Heart attacks. I’m not going to die in my car at age 50 with a Whataburger sack in my lap. If I’m going to put in the time working, I’m going to try to live as long as I can so that after I retire, I can wake up every day so that I can stick it to the City by drawing another day of pension. And so I can enjoy myself…that too, I guess.

Interesting
My roommate is an M1 at Southwestern, and is always telling me that a computer could do what doctors do fairly easily.
He wants to program said computer, and that’s when I zone out.
Funny you mention that
I just finished reading a sort of goals update type thing from Francis Collins (NIH Director) in the New England Journal of Medicine and they are really going to be pushing genomic (personalized) medicine forward. I don’t see any way that computers don’t become much more highly involved in the life of a practicing physician.
One way I can already see is dosing of drugs. I imagine everybody will have an extensive gene profile done (you can already have basic ones done) that gives a profile regarding clearance of drugs, etc. There’s no way a doctor can know all of these, it’s going to come down to inputting variables into a computer and having it spit out a dose based on algorithms. Hopefully more electronic medical records means we can keep better tabs on the effectiveness of drugs and this gets added to the algorithm.
I don’t think you’ll ever replace a doctor with a robot…there’s too much of medicine that’s still an art. But I do think computers are going to, in the near future, become much more involved in how medicine is practiced.

Yep
See, this is a similar zoned out feeling I get when my roommate talks to me :).
He also just discusses how certain blood counts, etc., can completely dictate in an ER what the course of action is, so there is no point in relying on a doctor’s memory for that sort of decision, when a computer can just spit out the right answer.
He worked with the NSA before going to med school, so has the programming down; I really think he’s going to try to get into this.
I've at least switched over to sugar free
So, I’ve got that going for me, which is pretty ok.

No, just healthy.
In September, I weighed 130 lbs. Very thin, lanky.
I started eating right (and working out), and, as of today, I have put on 30 lbs on lean muscle. No crazy protein shakes, no supplements (ie, creatine, nitric oxide) and I feel better than ever. I have tons of energy, and (i must say) I look damn good.

The intense amounts of sugar and caffeine in the canned energy is not natural
and your body was not made to process it in a normal, rational way. That’s why you get the jitters.
5 hour energy is completely loaded with Vitamin B12 with a little bit of coffee.
But, I’m telling you — all-natural foods are the coals for your natural power plant. Bananas, raw almonds, raisins, greek yogurt, stuff like that. You will feel better, longer. I promise.

please refrain from offering any further medical advice/opinions
until you at least take some clinical rotations, and preferably until after you earn a degree. Textbook knowledge will never trump clinical experience.
Also, if I would strongly consider dumping the PhD part. There are far too many disadvantages:
1)you will be equally loathed by PhD’s and by MD’s. Neither will consider either part of your 2 degrees to be equal to equivalent to theirs
2)any research you do will be many years out of date by the time you finish your residency and you will have to start fresh. The discontinuity will hinder your ability to publish vs being a regular PhD candidate
3)you will never be able to recover the years of earning potential you are throwing away staying in school many extra years vs being just a practicing physician
4)there are few niche fields where you can have a successful combination clinical and academic practice. Unless your interest is in oncology, ID, etc you will paint yourself into a corner as far as practice options.

Mal: well, I'm all right
...really?
I think most people here know that I am not a licensed doctor. We’ve had a few on here clear up details that I only know a little bit about. But the first two years of medical school do involve time in clinics now, especially the second year. It’s not a lot, but between a month-long Preceptorship in family medicine and weekly time in the clinics, I’ve had more than an afternoon of clinical experience. Plus, what I’m commenting on here is just basic nutrition, and I fail to see how much clinical experience is necessary for that. When I comment on things like this, I’m just passing on information I learned, not writing scripts.
Let’s take these in order
1.) I don’t think there’s loathing by either PhD’s or MD’s. If your point is that you’re never fully accepted by full time basic science researchers or full time private practice types, there’s probably some truth to that, but it doesn’t bother me. Being able to speak the language of the two disparate fields is why MD/PhD programs get funded.
2.) Do you have any idea what type of research I’m doing? How can you say this? While it’s true that techniques and capabilities change, there’s two problems with your statement. First, in some fields (like biochemistry), the techniques adapt but don’t really change as much as you’re saying. Second, you’re assuming I want to do research on the specific thing I’m currently researching. That’s not really the point of any PhD. Sure, you stay in the general field, but the most important thing you learn during graduate training is how to be a scientist. How to think like one, what problems are worth studying or can be studied, what set of experiments you need to do to prove something, etc.
3. What makes you think that this is all about earning potential? If all doctors were concerned about was earning potential, most are in the wrong field. A pediatrician goes to 7 years of training after college and average $120K. I’m not doing this to make more money; that would be dumb. Financially, it’s not awful because they pay all of our tuition costs and give us a stipend. Assuming I didn’t want to do research going forward, I don’t think 3 years of doing research in a more laid back environment than medical school is a terrible ‘cost’ to coming out of medical school debt free.
4. Every single specialty wants researching clinicians, especially if you want to work at an academic medical center. Every. Single. One. Medical research is what drives fields forward, so they’re all looking for people who can combine both (with or without a PhD). Many fellowships (after residency) require 6-18 months of research now. Is it hard to combine basic science research and private practice? Absolutely. But most MD/PhDs end up working at academic medical centers that give them time to do both; there really is a wide variety of options. I know MD/PhDs who have gone into everything from dermatology to emergency medicine.

Your exposure to clinics in 2nd year is minimal at best
even though it is more than any other medical school that I know of. That is one of the advantages of BCM, but only because it allows people more time to figure out what they want to go into. By year 3 you pretty much have to commit to a future specialty if you want to set up your away rotations early to help get interviews for residency.
1. No PhD thinks your 2-3 year PhD is equivalent to the 5-6 years they spent, and most MD’s will regard your background with some disdain. Even the more mundane ramifications are losing track of your basic science classmates and when you go back to clinical rotations you are an outsider with no established allies.
2. PhD programs help you to learn how to publish and get grants. You should have learned how to think like a scientist in college. If you are doing basic biochem then you won’t be out of date after yrs 3,4 of med school plus another 3-6 years of residency, but for almost everything else that is 5-8 years out of your current research. The main focus for MD/PhD has been studying the genetic basis of disease – gene therapy, gene sequencing, etc. 5-8 years is an eternity
3.if you wanted to do research, you would have a stipend and costs for plain old grad school and come out relatively free of debt. If you wanted to practice medicine, you have lost 3 years of income which at a minimum would be $360k as that pediatrician, and more like $1.2 million as a radiologist. Your MD/PhD school expenses saved will not even come close to offsetting that.
4.reading through any medical publication, you will find that the primary authors are maybe 75% MD’s, 25% PhD’s. Very few if any are combined MD/PhD’s. What “problem” is the MD/PhD program a “solution” to?
I’m not here to bust your balls, but to give you some perspective outside the narrow box you are stuck inside. If it helps open your mind at all, I was a BCM MD/PhD student, published with 2 Nobel Prize winners at the Whitehead Institute and Mass Eye/Ear, worked with Gene Anderson and Paul Overbeek at Cullen.

And he’s not an employee of the Mariners and Seahawks, but he works with them a lot and gets to know a lot of the players and goes to a lot of games and such.
Unless Eclou tells us his connection, I’m going to decide that’s it.
It would be very unlikely for someone to finish medical school
then become a physical therapist, when you only need an associates degree to achieve that goal.

That does help (knowing that you did it)
I’ve heard this line from medical students who didn’t get into the program and I always wonder about biases.
1. The PhD portion of our program is dramatically different from that at UTHouston and, from the sound of it, from BCM as well. UTHouston I know doesn’t require any classes, focuses on clinical stuff and most students go into it after their 3rd year of medical school. A&M’s focuses more on basic science research, most students go in after the 2nd year of medical school. We get credit for the first year of classes (since those are mainly of the introductory type that you cover most of in med school classes), but after that we still have to take 3 semesters of classes, take qualifying exams, have committee meetings and defend our dissertations. I’m pretty critical of a 2 year PhD as well. I understand the social difficulties, but it just doesn’t seem as important to me. If I decide to not do research, I don’t picture myself as being a member of a large group either.
2. I simply disagree with that. PhD’s think much differently about medical problems than MD’s do. If by learning how to publish, you mean learning how to approach a problem in a way that can actually answer the question and result in a publication, then sure…but that’s not exactly an inconsequential thing. Learning how to combine low hanging fruit research projects and high risk/high reward projects is one of the things I’m learning. Even in fields that are rapidly progressing, the basic concepts are still the same. Our tools just get better. I’ve been doing research in some manner for almost a decade now and I don’t think you can so quickly dismiss those who are out of a field for 3-5 years. Some fields’ tools are rapidly evolving; some fields aren’t.
3. It’s. Not. About. The. Money. Do I look at my good friends who are going to be ortho’s and think, yeah, that’d be nice? Sure. But it’s not for me. Nor is radiology. Nor is peds for that matter. It is my personal opinion that all doctors should give back in some form. Whether that’s serving in free clinics, a leader in their community, international aide, serving in the armed forces, research, or some combination therein, I think that doctors have a greater variety of ways to give back than most people and should subsequently give back. Research is how I choose to do mine.
4. A large portion of research done by MD’s is crap. It’s the sort of stuff that gets published because it’s relevant, but the actual science is suspect. MD/PhD’s are a solution to the problem of a lack of communication between basic science research and clinical medicine. There are PhD’s who run clinical labs and MD’s who do basic science research who also provide answers to this solution, but I think the dual training plays a pivotal role in it.
You seem to have a bitter taste from your experience; I understand that. It’s a lot of years and I’ve met more than a few who regret it. There is decreased earning potential, especially if you want to spend more of your time doing research, years lost and less free time. But there’s also the opportunity to contribute to the future of medicine, to identify the causative factor of a disease, to find and/or test new drugs, to identify vaccine targets and see them implemented, even to understand some of the basic nature of physiology and pathology. Physicians help a lot of people, but clinically relevant research has the chance to help a lot more.

I'm glad that you have put some thought into it
I thought I did, but the reality was I had no clue. After signing on I started asking the PhD students how long their tract would be, and none were estimating the 2.5-3 year fairytale that I was sold. Most people had been there in excess of 4 years already and did not have a thesis defense date in sight.
My research mentor left midway through to go back to the NIH and left me high and dry. Plus, my research model was based on transgenic mice which had an unfortunately long life cycle, unlike drosophila. Some of the guys that picked a porcine model are still there.
I would be very cautious about finishing the PhD in 3 years, especially at a school that is just 10 years old (I never knew A&M started a medical school). There is essentially nil track record for them to base a claim that you can get out on time.
Good luck. I’d be happy to share my experiences with you
we're from Texas
CJ says "Relax"
Yeah
They don’t have much of a track record. The program is at where it’s at now because of the current program director. Only 13 graduates (2 this year). But they’ve been taking 3-5 students pretty consistently for 6+ years now, which is about the limit for a non-MSTP. (BTW, A&M’s medical school is more than 30 years old; most students do their first 2 years in College Statin and their last 2 at the very large regional center in Temple, TX)
Most end up taking 4 years, but I think I have an advantage in that I’ve done quite a bit of research before I started the program. We’ve had 2 or 3 finish in 3 years at this point, so that’s my goal. I was thinking 4 years earlier this year, but now I’m back to thinking I could get it done in 3 years. I should finish classes this fall, take qualifying exams in the spring and then have 1 year+ to finish. Our lab has also put out grad students in 3 and 4 years recently, so I think it’s within the realm of possibility. I just started the second year and I think we have the basis for 2 papers. Nothing huge, more structural JBC type work. Then again, I’m not trying to make a groundbreaking discovery right now so much as learning the basis for all the different techniques that (structural) biochemists use.
That sucks about your mentor leaving. There was another A&M MD/PhD student who was about to finish her first year and her mentor has decided to leave for UT-Austin. She decided to drop the program…hard to blame her.

I thought about this on the way over to work today, the fact that AJM does not want Cuban. I figure though, at least he’s a somewhat proven commodity over Crane or Beck and he is generally fan friendly, and insert other random good owner cliche here
I just want to know that we can sign players both in free agency and the ones we already have. I want that security. No more of this stuff about scrimping to get guys who we are praying to revert to previous form and overpaying in prospects for rentals.
I need a goddamn security blanket.
by TheHuntforRedOctober on Jul 22, 2010 9:44 AM CDT up reply actions
I agree with that
Greenberg Ryan is certainly the first choice, but I am fine with Cuban. He is a good owner and puts a winner on the field/court. I think he is smart enough to stay out of the day to day baseball stuff and let the GM (hopefully Daniels) run the team. He would also work on improving the ballpark, just look at what has gone up in and around the AAC the past few years. The AAC just got an amazing new video board last year, and it was only 8 years old as is.
If GnR don't get it I want Cuban.

I think we should all make plans to attend the auction on August 4

But I think the reality is that if Cuban buys the team, it will probably only be to sell it again. I think the team is currently worth a lot more than we’re selling it for because of the capitalization issues. I also think that the Judge is horribly naive if he thinks that he can simply order MLB to do anything at all. He can try and order MLB to increase the loans to the team but Bud can tell the judge to suck his dick and Lynn would have no recourse. And the lenders have no reason to fund the team any more either. After all, money going in now may or may not be repaid.
I’m guessing that any revenue the club is making is being used to make interest only payments on the various loans the team has (well, after paying player and front office salaries.)

my point is that, well, actually I have no point. no points at all, totally spherical. but at least I provide a tiny bit of comic relief.
