What’s NECC?

NECC stands for “Nameless East Coast City,” the place where I reside.  Can’t find it on a map?  That’s because I’m being clever.  See, I’m trying to be fairly anonymous with this blog so that I don’t lose my job.  Hence, me being cagey about where I live.

Can’t you type?  Everytime you reference a neighborhood in NECC, you end up putting astericks in weird places.

Ah-ha!  My brilliance continues. . .see, it’s not that I really want to completely blot out all details of my life, it’s just that I don’t want to show up on google searches and stuff when crazy patients are trying to get the scoop on me.  Hence, me taking potentially revealing information and tweaking it slightly so that it passes under the radar, like spam e-mails for Vi*gr* which will make your p*nis b*gger. 

Hey, I totally know where you’re at!

Good.  You are very smart.  Now be quiet. 

What is BH?

That should be who is BH.  BH is short for “the brilliant husband.”  One day when I was talking to BH about this here blog, he commented that if he is googled, this blog shows up.  So now it wasn’t just my job on the line, but his as well.  And it would be totally unfair for him to miss out on some great opportunity just because he happens to have a crazy wife.  People should never be punished for their crazy wives. 

Did you change my comment?!

Yes, I did.  Lots of people that read this know who I am and comments sometimes have identifying bits of info, like my name, SSN or a copy of my last bank statement.  When that happens, I change it ever so slightly, so I can still be secretive and enjoy your insight on that particular post. 

Why are you so paranoid?

• Student loans from undergrad:  $18,000
• Student loans from medical school:  $179,000
• Mortgage:  Lots and lots
• Cost of losing my job because a disgruntled patient figured out who I am and told the hospital administration about this blog, thus ending my chances of finishing residency and earning an income to pay off these debts:  Well, you do the math
