I'm always thinking about how us nerds need to (seriously need to) get out more often and take a look at parts of the world that don't directly involve code, or AA batteries, or LCD panels, or small robotic dogs that shower you with small robotic love, or whatever.
Now would be a good time to plug my Louvre RSS feed which delivers, on a somewhat regular basis, pieces of artwork from the Louvre along with relevant descriptions, but that's just what a shameless self-promoting schmuck would do. Fortunately, I have more class than that.
No, my friends. What I'd really like to point you to is this emergency room doctor. I was getting my daily dose of DonXML (I miss you, Don - we have to get together and booze it up again (boozing with Don is not to be missed)) when I saw the link to the medical practitioner in question.
I think it's pretty interesting. It's safe to say that I'll never be an emergency room doctor unless I falsify some credentials and put people's lives in danger (unless you happen to know of a medical school that would accept a high-school dropout with a .86 GPA), so getting to read about the real life of one of these people is about as close as I'll ever get.
