Pimp of the Week, Volume II

Today I was pimped on greek mythology. My staff anesthesiologist wanted to know the origins of the words Morphine and Atropine (two commonly used drugs in anaesthesia). When I looked appropriately confused, he hinted that they came from the words Morphea and Atropius (or something like that). I was incredulous... he seriously wanted me to research greek mythology and get back to him? Yup. But at least he was impressed that I knew they were based in greek mythology.

I can only hope that this means I know everything I need to know about medicine and the staff guys are running out of things to ask me.
