Hi everybody,
Ever wonder what docs do when the ER gets slow (I know it is NEVER slow on TV)? I'm an ER PA in Maine, and things are starting to slow down after the summer tourist rush. I've been fortunate to spend more and more time each shift (24-hour shifts) surfing the forum. I've been studying and collecting magic for about 10 years, using some of it in the medical field to calm and entertain patients, as well as help them (and coworkers) kill time while waiting for results. It has been quite fun, even though I am still really bad at magic, as people do not expect to be entertained in the ER and most really appreciate the effort- if not the ability. I also give medical lectures around the country (www.roadrunnercme.com), where I try to infuse effects to break up the 7-hour lecture. My favorites are torn and restored newspaper, no tear newspaper restoration, some rope tricks, occasional card trick, a trick with a giant aspirin, etc. I also am trying to get certified as a teacher so I can work during the year teaching math, and just see sick people in the summer and weekends. I'm extremely interested in mathematically- based tricks. I'd love to hear anybody's favorites for math- based tricks, or tricks which have some sort of medical theme. Thanks for your time.

Welcome to the Café, Bob. Sure you will enjoy this place, and share your medical magic with us.
On the other hand, as you said you are a ER PA in Maine, maybe you know my favourite writer Stephen King. He does magic with the horror. He is great. All the best magic, Pablo Tejero

Hi Bob!
Welcome to the Magic Café! There is actually a special forum here for math-based magic. It's called Magical Equations and you'll find it in the Mind Benders section. I am looking forward to hearing about your unique experiences and seeing the great contribution you will make to the Café. Emily B.

OH MY GOSH!!!! Emily, thanks you so much for pointing out the math section of the forum. I can't believe I've never seen it before. I think I always get sidetracked in some group farther up the page. But now I'm in heaven!! I have asked the nurses to close the ER for the rest of the night- only extremely critical patients until I finish reading every post in there. Hope you don't get ill or injured in Maine tonight!
Also, Pablo, I love Steven King- great writer and very interesting medical injuries when he got run over. |
