The irrational yet irrestible urge to know or make known. The CC is a "club" founded by a small group of medical professionals, who have made a pastime of turning medical cases and discussions into medically irrelevant history lessons, philosophical rants, and displays of one-upsmanship. The official premise, since the "club" was named, has been to exchange and discuss various books, movies, and ideas. Sometimes we eat sushi.

Man Kicked by Donkey!!
Man kicked by donkey!! Many times a patient may say "it feels like I was kicked in the belly by a ----"mule, horse, and now really a donkey. This friend actually raises donkeys and was attending to a newborn donkette and the mother tried to take him out.
If a patient says the magic words then you MUST think ruptured aorta or at least a tear of the intima from the muscularis in the aorta. Or a real kick.
