Patient image at Pulmonary contusion FAC

I was looking through the images on the FAC for Pulmonary contusion and noticed that one of the image states that the uploader had a consent form on file. Since nothing is identifiable I would think it is ok, but I was wondering if you had some time to take a look at that. -Optigan13 (talk) 06:38, 17 July 2008 (UTC)

Barnstar

Hello Steven

Many thanks for the Barnstar.

Doc James (talk) 14:24, 21 July 2008 (UTC)

Well done

Congratulations! You have captured WikiProject Medicine's Missing Article Trophy by creating exhaled nitric oxide. Enjoy it as long as you can! JFW / T@lk 22:09, 23 July 2008 (UTC)

GA review

Thanks for your comments on mental status examination. Could I interest you in completing the GA review, which is awaiting a second opinion? Anonymaus (talk) 11:29, 24 July 2008 (UTC)

New simple tension free inguinal hernia repair

Dear Steven,

I hope that the post in user talk about this new repair for inguinal hernia is as per wikipedia style. The first appearence about this repair in wikipedia was a surprise for me because it was not done by me. But some body later deleted that. I tried to repost it but ofcourse with some mistakes about references etc. Then again it was deleted. It was re-posted probably by 'Marschatalk' with proper modification. I am thankful to him. But later again it was deleted.

If you feel that this is worthy of a place in the wikipedia, then please do it in the interest of those millions of patients suffering with inguinal hernia and thousands of patients suffering with mesh complication every year.

I personally thank you very much but certainly can not accept comments like 'Desarda Joker' or 'suspicious' from any body who did not bother to read my published research articles before passing such comments. Opposition from mesh or endoscope supporters is natural because my operation does not need both. I will be happy to read your response about this post.Desarda (talk) 18:00, 24 July 2008 (UTC)

Bad-faith oppose

Hey Steven, not sure if you've seen the last oppose on your RfA, from User:Sfd1905. I've looked through his contribs and you two don't even seem to have interacted before. Do you have any idea what he's talking about? Also, do you feel that his oppose should be stricken? GlassCobra 14:42, 26 July 2008 (UTC)

You are now an administrator

Congratulations, I have just closed your RfA as successful and made you an administrator. Take a look at the administrators' how-to guide and the administrators' reading list if you haven't read those already. Also, the practice exercises at the new admin school may be useful. If you have any questions, get in touch on my talk page. WJBscribe (talk) 22:08, 26 July 2008 (UTC)

Congratulations! Remember not to delete the main page and you'll get on fine. Tim Vickers (talk) 23:11, 26 July 2008 (UTC)

Well done, Steven—now get to work! :D Fvasconcellos (t·c) 23:29, 26 July 2008 (UTC)

How did I miss this? Now it's too late to support. Anyhow, I would have supported had I been paying more attention to the RfA board. You'll do great, and I'm glad to see this go through with overhwelming support. Please let me know if I can be of any assistance, and keep up the good work. MastCell ^Talk 03:40, 27 July 2008 (UTC)

Congratulations on your successful RFA... Best of luck as an admin ..you may delete the main page occasionally ;) -- Tinu Cherian - 05:47, 27 July 2008 (UTC)

The admins' T-shirt.

Congratulations on your successful RfA! Do everything you're supposed to and nothing you're not! :) Make sure to check out the new admin school. Good luck and feel free to ask me if you have any questions. I'm glad the bad-faith oppose didn't hinder anything. GlassCobra 06:01, 27 July 2008 (UTC)

• Lol, I think you're the first one to have the balls to thankspam using AWB. cheers mate =) Take into mind those things I pointed out to you about second chances... we never know when someone like that "hypothetical" vandal might turn the corner and become a good contributor. (trust me! it can happen). –xeno (talk) 14:34, 27 July 2008 (UTC)

DYK

On 28 July 2008, Did you know? was updated with a fact from the article exhaled nitric oxide, which you created or substantially expanded. If you know of another interesting fact from a recently created article, then please suggest it on the Did you know? talk page.

Survey request

Hi, Stevenfruitsmaak I need your help. I am working on a research project at Boston College, studying creation of medical information on Wikipedia. You are being contacted because you have been identified as an important contributor to one or more articles.

Would you will be willing to answer a few questions about your experience? We've done considerable background research, but we would also like to gather the insight of the actual editors. Details about the project can be found at the user page of the project leader, geraldckane. Survey questions can be found at geraldckane/medsurvey. Your privacy and confidentiality will be strictly protected!

The questions should only take a few minutes. I hope you will be willing to complete the survey, as we do value your insight. Please do not hesitate to contact me or Professor Kane if you have any questions. Thank You, BCproject (talk) 07:53, 3 August 2008 (UTC)

Congrats on the RFA and being a physician!

I applaud your willingness to volunteer your time and intelligence. I want to be a doctor some day and all your edits benefit people just like me and the millions of high schoolers considering medicine. Thanks for contributing to so many medical articles, and trust me that they are not read just by ordinary simpletons! —Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.4.128.40 (talk) 15:22, 3 August 2008 (UTC)

Dominance (genetics)

You're right, that "disputed" tag is not really a constructive contribution, but I lack the time to do this myself and was hoping that this might get the attention of someone with more time. I remarked on this article being wrong quite some time ago on the talk page. I'll try to get at it sometime in the next couple of weeks, but don't hold your breath... Sorry....

PVED

Hi Steve -

When you say third party sources are you saying sources that talk about PVED?

Thanks MDG 22:33, 12 August 2008 (UTC)

RE: MEDMAT

Huh, I think you're a little confused, but I think it's my fault for I worded it wrong. I awarded peripheral venous catheter with the MEDMAT trophy after you nominated it, I think it's slightly more important than drug eruption. That'd probably come next. I then nominated my new stub (Foster Kennedy syndrome) for the trophy for someone else to review. Hope this clarifies things. —Cyclonenim^T@lk? 20:56, 13 August 2008 (UTC)

Oh I see, yes I probably should have reviewed it. I wasn't sure if I'd allowed PVC enough time to hold the trophy before selected a new winner! I'll get on it now, and nice work on split hand syndrome, seems I was wrong about the lack of new syndromes on Wikipedia! —Cyclonenim^T@lk? 21:03, 13 August 2008 (UTC)

Ah right. Well I just selected drug eruption! And I just watchlisted AlexNewArtBot :) —Cyclonenim^T@lk? 21:11, 13 August 2008 (UTC)

Hi

Hi. I noticed that you voted in the nomination for deletion of the article Inflammatory diseases of unknown etiology. As I don't know you or your motives for voting as you did, and not to insult you or your intelligence, I felt that a misunderstanding occurred during the vote, causing many editors to vote for deletion based on the merits of a strawman argument. Please revisit the AfD (at the embedded link above) to gain a clearer understanding of my issue with this vote and either uphold or revise your vote -- I am not writing to you to demand that you retract -- rather, I feel that some votes may have been swayed by what may no longer apply to the article, and because most of those who voted merely reiterated the nominator's premise, perhaps a review will produce a fairer outcome. Thank you. DRosenbach ^{(Talk | Contribs)} 20:14, 14 August 2008 (UTC)

Tricho-hepato-enteric Syndrome

Hello. I was just wanting to ask you if there was a specific reason you created the page on this syndrome. I live in the US and I had a daughter who was born with this. She passed away in May, at the age of 2, due to sepsis. I had found the article by Olivier Goulet the week before she passed away. They were able to take that article and diagnose her with it after she had passed. So I have been researching and I noticed you created this page and I was just wondering how you heard about this extremely rare syndrome.Rzrbckgrl (talk) 01:25, 15 August 2008 (UTC)

Using undo

Are you sure this edit was undo? Your edit summary does not match the change made. In any case, there is still no support for the most important assertion, namely that gout can't occur in MS. Without a source for this claim, the section is irrelevant. JFW | T@lk 22:40, 17 August 2008 (UTC)

Harharhar LOL hehehe

Great edit summary, but have you any better suggestions for images? JFW | T@lk 18:50, 18 August 2008 (UTC)

WikiProject Medicine Featured Topic Task Force proposal

Hey Stevenfruitsmaak, I've just set up a proposal for a new task force in the WikiProject Medicine called FTTF, or the Featured Topic Task Force. We aim to create a featured topic for medicine, most likely to do with an infectious disease of some form (the proposals so far include polio and bacterial infections in general) and become the first medical featured topic. The proposal can be found here and further discussion can be found at the bottom of the WikiProject Medicine talk page. I've very much appreciate your comments and possibly support of such a proposal, if you'd be willing to take part! —Cyclonenim^T@lk? 13:32, 19 August 2008 (UTC)
