For those of you craving more more more on the origins, hangups, and favored afternoon activities of the Signout, hie thee over here. Although the ScienceBlogs interviewers call me elusive, I insist that I really am slow-moving, easy to spot, and marvelously accessible, as demonstrated by the thirty pages I received while my intern was in clinic this afternoon.
Slow-moving, I say! Unless good pastry is involved, in which case, get out of the way. I am not even kidding.

I was in the olive department at the local market a few weeks ago, when I heard a voice from in front of the Cerignolas. "Dr. Signout? Is that you?"
At one look, I knew who it was--the father of a girl whose forehead I'd sewn up months ago, near the middle of my intern year. I smiled, made chat,…
Was the interview done by another person or is it a writing method?
Thanks, A.L.
I think people differ greatly on this issue. For example, if it were completely unidentifiable as my own, I would have no problem with a picture of my naked ass being posted on the Internet. Others would be absolutely horrified by the prospect.
