My Mother went to Tulane med school when I was a small kid. She said that NOLA was a great place to do ER rotations because of all the violent crime there. I guess that aspect of it hasn't changed for the better. I think that we packed and left the day after she graduated.
Her favorite Tulane story was "revirigining" women with a couple of shallow stitches so they would bleed and hurt a little the first time that they had sex with their husband. Stitches and a lemon juice douche to tighten things up down there. Always good for a laugh when she drank a little too much Johnnie Black and told about a woman who was six months pregnant and insisted on being revirgined.
