I like the stretch for #6 from Wheatley in the 90s to Walker in the Teens. WD: who else has worn 6 on the offense in those years? Edit: I checked for myself on mgoblue.com as far back as rosters are kept. Here's who's worn 6 on offense since 97: K Nienberg WR Stokes RB Alijah Bradley QB Cleary Not a popular number, but a nice one for a RB.

Big congrats!!! Always was curious what Borges saw in him as he was a two star with very minimal offer list, but wouldn't have it any other way.

a resident (or even most physicians) works compared to other professions.

I will have gone three months of 80+ hours / week straight (without Christmas/New Years) before I see two weeks of clinic (60 hours a week) and then a vacation in May.

 

Michigan undergrad and Michigan med have done me wonders, but please, the hours are different than almost any other profession.

That's nothing compared to finance. Not trying to demean the medical field and all the work its various professionals put in, but finance puts those hours to shame. Particularly bulge bracket investment banks. What they put people through is legitimately inhumane.

In the case of being an MD, step 4 can have a lot of additional sub-categories. For example, one of my young cancer patients who's in remission (suck it cancer) gave me a handmade ornament last week that said "Dr. MGoStretch, world's greatest doctor". That ornament cost me roughly a quarter mil in school debt, but it was still pretty cool. Step 3 is full truth though, but sometimes you gotta pay the cost to be the boss. Congrats to future Dr. Cleary.

I don't keep up with this as much as I used to, but here's a joke I remember from those days:

Q: What is the greatest life risk to a radiologist? (A person taking this seriously might guess something about radiation exposure, etc.)

A: Getting run over in the parking lot by an anesthesiologist on his way to the golf course.

Others are talking about it in terms of roman numerals. That strikes me as a reasonable guess, but a guess nonetheless. As it seems no more or less "old wives' tale-y" than my understanding, I'll share my alternative use:

 

I understand "MM" to signify abbreviated pluralization. Single million is designated as M, whereas that letter is duplicated (MM) for millions.

 

Staying on the topic of medicine, in the field of anatomy, a singular artery, muscle, nerve, or vein is abbreviated thusly ("a.", "m.", "n.", "v.", respectively) whereas plural arteries, muscles, nerves, and veins are abbreviated using duplication of that letter ("a.a.", "m.m.", "n.n.", "v.v.", respectively).
