Golden Weekend

A weekend in which a medical professional, usually a medical student or doctor, has both Saturday and Sunday to himself/herself, neither working at the hospital nor on call. Often rare, especially among interns and residents.

Just three more paracenteses, two subclavian lines, and one arterial blood gas to finish before I start my golden weekend! Just think how much studying I can do with two whole days!

Nicole Westbrook

A preteen girl on Youtube, who sang a horribly autotuned song called "Thanksgiving" which went viral on the internet. This girl is from the same record company as Rebecca Black, Alana Lee, and Ariana Dvornik. It's obviously, about the holiday Thanksgiving. In the video, she sings into a turkey leg, and has a feast with more preteens. It also makes an appearance by Fat Usher. In all, she's another talentless girl trying to make it big on Youtube.

Oh my god. Did you hear Nicole Westbrook's 'Thanksgiving?'
I know, it was terrible.
Poor girl, another victim of fat usher and his record label.

Nicole Westbrook is the new Rebecca Black.

gentleman's week

A leisurely 3 day work or school week.

Since I was already leaving for the tropics on Friday, I elected to skirt my obligations on Thursday as well and call it a gentleman's week.

William Westmoreland

General William Westmoreland was made permanent commander of MACV and given command of all US forces in Vietnam. Commanding 16,000 men in 1964, Westmoreland oversaw the escalation of the conflict and had 535,000 troops under his control when he departed in 1968. Employing an aggressive strategy of search and destroy, he sought to draw the forces of the Viet Cong (National Liberation Front) into the open where they could be eliminated. Westmoreland believed that the Viet Cong could be defeated through large-scale use of artillery, air power, and large-unit battles. In late 1967, Viet Cong forced began striking US bases across the country. Responding in force, Westmoreland won a series of fights such as the Battle of Dak To. Victorious, US forces inflicted heavy casualties leading Westmoreland to inform President Lyndon Johnson that the end of the war was in sight. While victorious, the battles that fall pulled US forces out of South Vietnamese cities and set the stage for the Tet Offensive in late January 1968. Striking all across the country, the Viet Cong, with support from the North Vietnamese army, launched major attacks on South Vietnamese cities.

Responding to the offensive, William Westmoreland led a successful campaign which defeated the Viet Cong. Despite this, the damage had been done as Westmoreland's optimistic reports about the war's course were discredited by North Vietnam's ability to mount such a large-scale campaign. In June 1968, Westmoreland was replaced by General Creighton Abrams. During his tenure in Vietnam, Westmoreland had sought to win a battle of attrition with the North Vietnamese, however he was never able to force the enemy to abandon a guerilla-style of warfare which repeatedly left his own forces at a disadvantage.
