Thread: r/v excitment from a Iraq Freind of a Freind

[QUOTE="GK";139455]Let me see if I got this right. First this started out as info from a professor. Then it turned out the professor was also a heart surgeon. Then it also turned out that the professor morphed into a trader for M.L from being a heart surgeon. Oh and by the way, the professor turned out to be an Iraqi after all, and was taught by Charles Schwab. Did I miss anything else? Oh I forgot, this is a rumor. I don't buy dinars off rumors.[/QUOTE]

RN and 'Heart Surgeon' are a little different though. Also, my thinking wasn't how young he was when he started...we all know that starting college at 16 is possible for the highly gifted. I just thought that 7 years was a bit of a tight schedule for college AND medical school. I don't know but I would think that it would take quite a bit longer for something like heart surgeon than just a general practitioner. I'm not trying to debunk the rumor...I was just taken aback with the thought that even a prodigy could go from high school graduate to heart surgeon in just 7 years. I sure hope it is possible.

Well, I know of a guy that obtained 3 undergraduate degrees in 3 years and a ******* & PhD a year later. Oh and he was young also. Personally I didn't think it was possible until I'd seen it. They were all in the hard sciences also, physics, engineering etc. Now can we all do that? NO. But some are capable. As far as the rumor goes, time will reveal all. I've got time, how bout you.

WASHINGTON - U.S. Vice President Dick Cheney will travel to Saudi Arabia on Friday for a meeting with King Abdullah to discuss issues of "mutual interest" in the Middle East, Cheney's office said.

Their talks come as the White House weighs a shift in strategy on Iraq amid raging violence there and after huge losses for President George W. Bush's Republican Party in U.S. elections dominated by voter frustration over his war policy.

Bush will go to Jordan, another U.S. ally in the Middle East, next week for a meeting with Iraqi Prime Minister Nuri al-Maliki on how to speed up the transfer of security responsibilities from U.S. forces to the Baghdad government.

What the average person sees as possible is only average at best, until they understand that their abilities far exceed the level of their willingness to perform up to date.

It's possible, in frack in Asia, SW Asia and Middle East, children start school much earlier than in the US. As a matter of fact, my wife finished at 16 and completed college at 21, therefore it's not impossible. Also, my Lab Assistant's daughter graduated last year at 17 here in Qatar and is in Medical School this year in India...5 years to include internship.

In what country?

Let's, also not forget, that Austin Powers was able to become the famed International Man of Mystery in only 4 years time.
