Doctors In Training To No
Longer Be On Call
Now required to be "In Da House"
ST. LOUIS, MO--In a stunning announcement made today
by the Intern's and Resident's On Call (IROC) organization, interns and
residents at US teaching hospitals will no longer be required to be On
Call beginning July 2000.
Dr. Mark Paulskey, IROC Vice-President, declared
yesterday that, "given the changing medical environment and the diversity
of current medical students and young physicians, it is no longer acceptable
for housestaff to be On Call. They will, from now on, be required to be
In Da House.

When asked to elaborate on the difference between
On Call and In Da House, Paulskey dropped a set of heavy-hitting
old-school hip-hop power bass & beats, stating "The issue is one of
prioritization: On Call places emphasis on providing excellent
patient care when needed; In Da House implies bein' in da call
room with yo' funky self."
Paulskey concluded by offering "shout-outs to
my peeps on Whitney 5, and all y'all homiez back in the struggle."
Next on the house-officers' list of demands is believed
to involve having cumbersome white coats replaced with trendy, oversized
black LA Raiders parkas.
