Dr. Burkey
 

Today is graduation day for one of FlyerTalk's finest. I met him at my first ever FlyerTalk gathering in Philadelphia nearly two years ago. He snuck away from his books and making his rounds to show me and Catman a great time in Philly. He's a great guy and has become a friend to me and many others here over the years.

burkey, warmest congratulations.

Congratulations Burkey on this very special day in your life !!

From me too - your help on travel illnesses, your good humor and wise posts help make FT a great place!

Burkey,

I agree with my friend squeakr, dgolds and wife.
You're a great guy and I wish you all the luck in the world.
Maybe Randy can do a special board for travel medicine.

Regards,
Dan

Congratulations Dr. Burkey! My chauffeur's cap off to you as you journey through this imperfect world seeking perfect remedies. I have no doubt this world will be a better place thanks to you and your efforts.

Congratulations Dr. Burkey and here's hoping that it only gets better for you!!!

Congrats! Can't think of a better guy to get sick with. http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/wink.gif But then you don't make me sick, you just make me laugh and be happy.

One chapter closed, another just beginning....

Congrats, Burkey!

Kudos, Mr., eh, Dr. Burkey!

Congratulations Dr. Burkey! Hope to connect with you once you get settled in the CLE area. http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/smile.gif

Clearly Burkey, if that is his real name, is a liar, cheat and fraud. He might play doctor on dates, but he is not a real doctor.

The evidence is clear, while real medical students study, Brent travels and enjoys himself.

Every time I have presented him with a medical concern, he responds, “drink another beer.”

He does not talk about Medical School incessantly and does not make you think that he’s more important that you are.

He refuses to supply me with free controlled substances.

He does not tell every woman that he meets that he is a doctor within the first five minutes.

He does not hate lawyers and insurance companies.

He’s no doctor, he’s too much **** fun.

BEWARE DR. BURKEY IS A FRAUD.

Posted by Jailer:
I thought that "drink another beer" sounded like good advice Jailer. It's actually better advice that most doctors give.

Calling Dr. Moe. Calling Dr. Larry. Calling Dr. Burkey. Congratulations to the latter.

happy graduation, dr. burkey http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/smile.gif

Heres to a great professional career from one Doc to another. Cheers

Enjoy your "new" first name.

Realize that the half life of medical knowlege is 5 years (it may be less now) so 5 years from now half of everything you know will be wrong. Hope you forget the right half.

Thanks everyone, including Jailer http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/smile.gif Just have another beer my brother, or, well, I'll have one for you.

Sorry it took so long to say thanks, but if it wasn't enough going on yesterday, the phone company shut my service off by mistake 2 wks early!! Not a happy camper to say the least.

Dr Burkey....Best of Luck..Love you bunches, and you're one of the best folks I know..even if you refuse to do geriatrics. http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/rolleyes.gif

Who was that masked woman above? Burkey, you're starting the dawn ( http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/wink.gif) of a new career. My best wishes a second time.

Say doc, what about those steaks? Can I still eat steaks? If not, what will flyertalkers eat when they get together?

Dan

Congrats indeed. And note to Mark: So do I!

Uhhh huh... I've read about how doctors handle their finances!

Congrats Brent http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/biggrin.gif.

Congrats Dr. B! I finally have someone to go to for free medical advice!!

PS btw, it hurts when I don't fly AA. -What do you recommend? http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/wink.gif

Congratulations Dr. Burkey (from a non-medical Dr.)

Congrats Brent!!!!!

Just hope your ready for some looooooooooooong shifts. How long till they make that short shift law take effect?

Cleveland should have plenty of cases to get you ready.

On which episode of E.R. can we see you?

Way to go, Dr. Brent! (Do you do telemedicine? My back's killing me, and I thought...)

Congratulations Dr. Burkey

Do you accept Blue Cross?

Dr Burkey-

Sounds like we're the lucky metropolis to have you grace our shores. Hope I can be your welcome wagon here in CLE. Feel free to touch base when you touch down in the RockNRoll Capital of the World!

Dr Burkey....I wish you the best of luck! I hope to see you in Cleveland at the end of June...drinks are on me..Rx on you!

Thanks again everyone... just hardly working these days (in Palm Beach, but not MRKEY's Palm Beach) to "rest up" for a hopefully not too bad of an intern year.

The closest I can do with ER was having my med school mentioned when Benton was thinking of moving to Philly for a surgery attending position. http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/smile.gif

I'm looking forward to CLE, and hope I can get the low-down on all the hot spots...
