Congrats to Eel
R. Alex Whitlock
A month or two back Eel took the Series Three medical exam. The first is apparently taken during medical school, the second on the way out of medical school into residency. This test determines whether or not she can "moonlight" (contract to a rural clinic) and prescribe certain medication without an "okay" from a certified doc.
Anyhow, she was sick as a dog and they wouldn't let her take in a facial tissue because they were so worried about cheaters or somesuch. We'd been anxiously waiting for the results since she took it and finally got it this past week.
She not only passed and now is another step closer to being able to hang out a shingle, but she passed by a considerable margin and also each of the 15-20 areas of competency (they only look at the main score, but it's great nonetheless).
The only test remaining are the state certification exams (which would allow her to put out a shingle and start her own practice).
In any case, excellent news!
Observations
Congrats! Moonlighting is great, BTW. Really enhances earning income while giving the choice to the doc of how much to work.
Thanks! Now if I can just overcome my paranoia about being a great test-taker but a lousy real-life doc. . . moonlighting will be groovy. :)

Comment spam is an ongoing problems that we're trying to address. Previously we required people to create accounts and log in. I am thankful to say that is no longer the case. We're giving Captcha another try and are playing around with a text-based Q&A variant of Captcha. So bear with us as we try to figure out how to best get a handle ont he problem. Please note that any comment on a post more than 30 days old will go into the moderation queue, where I will get to it when I can which could be once a week.
