Thanks..I always thought a chief resident was a fairly importamt, and well paying staff position in a hospital..

[Willie Green]

...and I wonder how he was doing in medical school. It's not easy, y'know.

I guess the dummy didn't know he could've made more money in the NFL.

The headline is a bit misleading. It's not the jump that'll kill ya, it's the sudden stop at the end....

"Later that morning, investigators went to a private residence and found the student's wife, Dr. Robin Mitchell, stabbed to death."

It looks like he was living in the dorm and she was living in a private home. It's possible that they had separated and he was having problems with it.

The story has been a big shocker in Little Rock for a couple of days.

Somehow, a lot of psychos have managed to graduate from that medical school. I know of a couple of more who are likely to go on a killing spree at some point.

[shhrubbery!]

Later that morning, investigators went to a private residence and found the student's wife, Dr. Robin Mitchell, stabbed to death.

Maybe the private residence where the wife was found was their home. Or they were living separately, perhaps.

Apparently he didn't do as well with the long jump.


But how about the high jump? If only he had done this in the Olympics it would be a new Olympic record.

are steroids linked to violence?

Yes. Many of them are testosterone analogs. They tend to make makes a bit more agressive. Think of a møøse in rut, or a bull elephant in must...

[ken5050]

THanks..good get.. I missed it..soudns like they were separated..

[Eva]

My guess is that the "dormitory" was more like married student housing for residents.

[gunnygail]

He was against jumping before he was for it.

[null and void]

They tend to make makes males a bit more aggressive.

*sigh* Preview is my friend.

A few years back there was a cholesterol medication that was pulled from the market because too many patients were dying violent deaths.

It turned out that it was lowering cholesterol by increasing the conversion of cholesterol to testosterone. The guys weren't used to the higher testosterone levels, would become more aggressive, and get in over their heads...

[ken5050]

FYI..see #26..sounds like they were separataed..he may have moved into the dormitory..

[SittinYonder]

I don't think it's appropriate, in fact, I know it's wrong. But I'm laughing all the same.

[SittinYonder]

Now why would you think steroids? My first thought, any time I hear of a boyfriend/husband killing his girlfriend/wife is that she probably drove him to it. Women are worse than steroids in that respect.

[gunnygail]

I'm betting: 4.5/3.8/5.1/4.4/3.0 (North Korean judge).

It was his dismount and landing that killed him.

thanks

40-50k.

[eyespysomething]

only after the husband drove the wife to drive the husband to it!

Ah, what We in law enforcement refer to as "rapid deceleration trauma"

Slainte,
