Another year, another relocated public figure

A new year of medical school has officially started. I'm actually quite excited about that: working with real patients, learning about diseases and treatments, playing on the internet in class. I think this is will be a good year - better than the first, which is saying a lot.

Anyway, I'd like to hit the ground running when it comes to identifying professors for who they really are. Let's start with Dr. Lane Johnson, one of the leaders of the preceptorship program.

I'm sure you see exactly what I see. Way too obvious.


Former leader of the Union forces and president, Ulysses S. Grant!

I've known for years that the government has an immortality potion. Just one of the many perks of being president; read the Constitution, it's in there. But it's kind of hard to conceal such a public figure, especially after the advent of the daguerreotype. And it's especially hard to disguise a hard-drinkin' military leader such as Mr. Grant. But I suppose medical doctor is the perfect hiding place for a cussin', drinkin', Rebellion crushin' political figure. Who knew? Plus, when limbs start falling off (which is inevitable after 120 years of living death), he'll be able to sew them back on.

Little known face: Ulysses Grant/Lane Johnson loves scatological references and humour.
