It's 100% official- I'm a doctor.

Very well done indeed!

Congratulations Doctor Irishgirl!

I’m sure you’ll be wildly successful. Good luck with the internship and residencies. I don’t know how these folks do it!

Congrats.

Make sure you enjoy July.

Then stand by for action!

Congratulations, irishgirl!

Now come work in Canada, please. We don’t have enough doctors, and we could definitely use you.

We’ll give you maple syrup! Please!!

Congratulations, congratulations, congratulations. Sometimes it seems like forever, but it finally ends.

And now I get to correct a new doctor. It’s properly “my parents treated my husband and me to lunch …” You two are the object of the verb “treated” and you would say “treated us” and not “treated we.” (Clears throat imperiously) :wink:

CONGRATULATIONS!

Congratulations Dr. Irish Girl I’m so happy for you!

BTW. You look nothing like I imagined you. I had always seen you as a thinner, younger Fergie. Now I have to go and recompile my memories of all your posts. But don’t worry, you’re still gorgeous.

Well done!

And fabulous dress, btw. :cool:

Funny sequential thread titles…

“It’s 100% official - I’m a doctor.”
“Everyone I work with is sick”
Congratulations!

Congratulations Dr. irishgirl!

:cool:

Thanks everybody! May I suggest some of you visit an optician? :smiley:

So…
David Simmons, thanks for the grammar correction. :slight_smile:

Queen Tonya- thanks, I wore the same dress to the ball with a big net petticoat under it.

Antigen- some of my classmates are Canadian, and most of them will be going home, you’ll get at least 5 new docs without me!

Cunctator- the whole thing, althought there were only 150 of us.There were 2 more ceremonies later the same day, and many more over the coming weeks- each faculty gets its own. We like it short, sweet and completely archaic.

As a WAG, I would say that 99 out of 100 would use your construction in that sentence. :eek:

Hey, I get to be a 1%er! :stuck_out_tongue:
