Student Doctor Brotsky--
I thought you were going to bed??? LIAAARRRR!

Inferno.......I took a pole and the whole class agreed on your comment.........at least the majority of the male population and the freaks!!

Peace

C-Dawg

Des,
You forgot one of the best all-time finishing moves-the Honky Tonk Man's Shake, Rattle, and Roll.:cool: The Dudley Boyz are definitely a tag team to reckon with. I cringe every time I see a table because of them. :scared: How's the studying coming?
Disco Dave

Chris I thought you are the girl!

Nope....I was the guy with the shaved head, telling you to go up on stage. Sorry to disappoint you!! I was kind of taken aback by your PM.

So now that we know who we are.......

Thanks everyone, I think I somewhat figured out how I should study efficiently. I thnk I should relax a little more and I'll probably remember more stuff that I study.

Where does everyone go to get haircuts around UHS? Any good barbers, I usually like a barber who can just shave off most of my hair within 15 min. Is there a supercuts nearby or anything around 10.00?

Thanks,
Anthony

Anthony--
I shave my own hair, so if you want, I will do yours for free!!

Chris

Hey gang--
Well only one more day before the first big quiz. Man I am not sure if I am even studying the right stuff. I guess I will use this first quiz as a guide. If I do poorly, then obviously I did the wrong stuff.

How are you all studying?? I condensed all Stephen's notes to three pages front and back, and am just concentrating on it. Hopefully it will be good enough.

Nothing else to report.......C-Dawg signing off

Peace

-C

Chris, you ruined my life and now you are going to pay for it!!!!! :)

Sorry to ruin your life. Let me know if I can do anything to change it!!! :)

-C

Chris,
I don't really shave my head, I just cut it short so it's almost shaved, sort of a 5 on top and 1 on sides blended, according to my barber of 18 years...hmm. Its tough looking for a new barber.
Anthony

Well the first quiz is over!!!!!!! Honestly I didn't think it was that bad. I was expecting harder questions from Stephens. Not saying they were easy, just expected more detail.

Anyway, i will be struggling to stay awake throughout the rest of the day. All my orbital mm are getting a great workout!!!!

Chris

Anthony, on the fifth floor library, there is a CT edited local listing. I think there is a barber shop right inside CT. It is room 822 I believe. But you can check it out for yourself.

Who else is having a great time studying??!!!

The more I read, the less I remember.:mad:
M.

I agree, Mary!! I think my brain has reached it's capacity and now I am just erasing something from week 1 everytime I learn something from week 4.
MADNESS I TELL YOU!!:)
:eek:

Do you think it is bad if you are reading something from the first four weeks, knowing you have gone over it four or five times, and it appears you have never seen it before??

Do I have a problem here, honestly!

-C

What if you still have 6 or 7 lectures that you haven't even looked at once? Is that good??

What is a preganglionic postganglionic parasympathetic presynaptic postsynaptic prevertebral parotid automonic peripheral somatic afferent efferent special general central nervous system neurotransmitter that is involved with adrenergic nicotinic ganglionic muscarinic sympathetic catecholamine pheochromocytoma in the nucleus?

Huh?:eek:

Mary,
Tough one. The answer of course is the internal branch of the superior laryngeal nerve.

Is it a ganglioside????

:) :mad: :eek: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

-C

Mary,
Bama knows what I think about anatomy....minutia!!! I want to extend the olive branch to Doctordes and Kendra in regards to the cheerleading skirt comment. Disco Dave was out of line on that one:) My condolences to Bama on the football loss. Good luck tomorrow!
Disco Dave

Who else loves Histo????

:mad: :mad: :mad: +pissed+

Just updating our page....we dropped off the first page!

Can't wait till neuro is over.....my tracts are all decussated and I dont know where they are going!!

-C

Dude I know! I heard the final takes FOREVER to take because of all the cases and stuff... I just want it to be over! But just think...only 3 weeks of class left and then the test and NO MORE NEURO (until boards of course). Poor us.+pity+
OH also nice of our lecturers to show today...I'm totally okay with that just as long as we get NO questions from it (like that's gonna happen!)
Peace out
Des:)

Just bumping us back up to the top, where we rightfully deserve to be...
Hey Bama, you haven't talked ****e to me in quite a while so let's get it rollin! You got about 3 days to talk like a big man before you try to back it up and miserably fail during the flag football game on Saturday. :mad: :laugh: ha ha (in Nelson voice)

Des:love:

Sure Des don't respond to my PM.:( And on top of all that you don't even invite the Disco Inferno out dancing with you!!! Boy, do I feel like a Hefty bag of human garbage. I'm all verclemt (sp)
talk amongst yourselves. I'll give you a topic, why do they call it a kidney bean when it's neither a kidney nor a bean. Discuss.....
I'm back.... I think Bama is saving his energy for Saturday.
:spam: Disco Dave

aaaaarrrrrrrrrggggggghhhhhhhhhhhh! Just wondering, does anyone else feel like that or is it just me. I cant wait for this to be over.

mmmmfffsgmsffffthththtppth:sleep:
that's how I feel.
But most of all,

I'm just so proud of our shiny doorknobs.
:p
M.:love:

I think Hugh and Mary have pretty much summed it up!!!!!
Man I feel like the Dumb Truck ran me over, backed up, and did it like 20 more times today!!!!!!!! Stephens is just a machine!!!

Hard to believe the 8th week is starting.....feels like FOM all over again, yet I would give anything for it to be FOM again!

I am sure since it is close to exam time, I will post about four more times.......so stay tuned!!

-C

To any 2nd year,
I had a question, we just got over our FOM final and I just noticed we have a quiz next Monday. I was wondering, why they do that? Also, I noticed it was an hour long, do you remember approximately how many questions they could give? It seems like all the FOM free time we had disappeared...I wonder how I'll have time to do anything anymore...anyway, I should be out drunk, but I feel worn our from that 4 hour test to do anything else. Good luck to you guys/gals on your Quiz monday.
Anthony

Wolverine,
Who knows why they put quizzes after one week sometimes. It will happen randomly in different sections, but the quizzes are extremely short obviously because it's only one week's worth of material. It seems like we only had like 40-50 questions for a week's quiz. Don't worry about your free time disappearing; you'll get into the routine before you know it and you'll have time to get everything done! There is plenty of time to study during musculoskeletal-- your afternoons are very busy with dissections, etc. but as long as you keep up with the material you'll do totally fine. I don't know if you already know this, but the actual 3 hour dissection time is not required to be at; you only receive points for being at the one hour review at the end of the week. Last year quite a few people just skipped out on a few dissections and got a tutor to go down to the lab with them --- it makes learning the anatomy a TON more efficient. Hope this helps!
Des:)

Now Dr Des what kind of advice is that to give a first year; telling them to skip out on their labs! You are so NAUGHTY!

Yeah listen to Des, she was right on with everything. I personally liked dissecting, so I DIDN'T SKIP! :) :)

Hope your final went well first years! Our quiz will be a doozie!

-C

Don't listen to Des she is a slacker! Eveybody knows that skinning and removing fat off the gluteal region for 3 hours is vital to becoming a competent physician. :) No, seriously musculoskeletal is pretty straightforward. Just learn all the muscles and their innervations and you're good. Not a lot of pathology in the musculoskeletal system, except for some autoimmune stuff and maybe DMD. I think the only pharmacology we did was NSAIDS, maybe we covered corticosteroids I don't remember. My brain is full of decussations and lateral spinothalamic tracts, blah, blah, blah, pllllllllllllllh!! Sometimes I wish I had a prefontal lobotomy so I would care about this stuff. :)

By the way, our flag football team served notice today that we are a force to be reckoned with. We are a defensive juggernaut. 14-0 and we only played a half. Player of the Game: Ms. Desiree!!

Wolverine,
Take Bama's advice, Don't listen to the class slacker, doctordes!!
Although, to be perfectly honest with you I think I picked up a scalpel five times total in a year of dissection. I tried to tell some first years that they should enjoy the free time in FOM because your days start getting jammed packed afterwards. I agree with BAMA about the MS section it was pretty straight forward just a lot of anantomy minutia!!!! Watch out for the Riddler!!!
Disco Dave

Rock on Disco....

MS was one of the best sections during first year in my opinion. You learn a crap load of information, but you will see it will overlap in later sections and plus helps out a ton in OPP. As for cranial....different story........

I am sick of studying....anyone else??

You boys better watch your backs....DrDes can be sneaky and will get you when you least expect it!!

Peace

-C

blah blah blah blopia.:cool:

Dudes...
That's REAL cute, little boys -- bashing me for telling it like it is. For your info, I was at every dissection last year (not to mention I was frustrated cuz I didn't know what was going on!)!! And Disco, a lot of nerve you have chiming in, considering I was the only girl to show at 9am yesterday....you'll all pay.....
Bama, I insist that you were playa of the game. Count 'em TWO sacks baby! Now if only we could get crackbaby to stop laughing hysterically everytime he runs with the ball....
Well I suppose I should get back to studying...I'm either doing that or just staring at some big words. I can't really tell the difference at this point.
PEACE OUT!!

Doctordes,
I guess you have been studying too long.... You forgot that Amanda and Erica were both at the game as well. I know how we can stop crackbaby from laughing ever time he has the ball.:idea: We could hire the dirtiest player in the game, Ric Flair, to hit him over the head with a crowbar. And Doctordes, don't sing it, bring it.
Disco Dave
P.S. Good luck to my favorite flag football player on tomorrow's "quiz", Ms. Desiree.

I thought Grant S. was the class slacker :laugh: .

Ah ah ah, Disco Dave....somebody's not paying enough attention to detail...you'll notice I said at 9am. HAD the game started on time (or at all) you would have been screwed until Amanda got there at approximately 9:10 and then Erica at 9:20. HA!! No disrespect to the girls at all; I'm just making sure you appreciate all we do. THINK BEFORE SPEAKING NEXT TIME, SUCKA!!
he he he
Des:)

Well well well ladies and germs....
That was the most fun I have had with my clothes on in a long time!!! I just loved that quiz this morning......

Doctordes,
We missed you at Kona tonight. Can anyone give me any reassurance about today's quiz? I think it was my worse at UHS! If I stop posting, you know that I've started rodeo clown school.
Disco Dave

ODB,
Here's a link for you: http://www.sankeyrodeo.com/html/clownsch.html

Watch out for those horns. YOUCH!!
I would hate to see you visit the preeminent proctologist, Dr. Des in a few years b/c of an unfortunate goring accident.

J/k Des, don't hurt me :(

Des would make a great proctologist!!!!!

Man, only six days of lecture left in Neuro!!!

Can't wait

-C

Good Luck to you all with Neuro...
Anthony

Hey guys..
getting closer to exam time, so I anticipate the number of postings to double to triple from the number we have done in the past few weeks. I am sure I will be on here a lot.

I am retarded.....thought I lost my cell phone, but it was in my backpack. I guess neuro does drain your brain.

Peace out my homies

C dawg

Well, well, well......
I guess everyone is actually studying and don't have time to post. LOSERS!!! No actually you will all kick my A#% tomorrow on path so I guess, I should get to cracking!!!!!

-C

Man guys, everyone must be hardcore now, because I am the only one on here. Just wanted to say how happy I am to be studying all week for this awesome test!!!!!

Hope everyone shares my sentiments!!

-C

I am slowly losing my mind!!! Okay, maybe I was already half way there, and you are thinking 'Surely he can't get any crazier.' I can get crazier and don't call me Shirley. I had a dream last night that Jay Leno tried to kill me. Luckily I was only shot in the right flank and I managed to take Big Chin down with a 9mm I had under my pillow. Did I mention that I was staying at Jason Kidd's house for some reason? He was asleep and didn't even try to help me. True story. No, I have not taken Ketamine lately. Although I did score some fentanyl from Rush Limbaugh.

That is a good stress test. If you dream that you are being shot by a late night talk show host while you are staying at an NBA star's house, you might be too stressed, or perhaps there's neurofibrillary tangles in your putamen (whatever that is). Maybe tonight I will dream that me and Dave Letterman got in a sword fight while I was staying at Britney Spears house. The brain (or maybe more specifically, my brain) is so weird!!

Des, Des where are you??

I'm here! I'm here! Chris, no offense but your freaky deeky dreams with Britney Spears and some sleeping bag/pillow fight evening you had with another man is one of those dreams you might want to chalk up under "stuff not to post on the world wide web..." Just kidding! That is hilarious, actually and you know I love Britney. NEURO SUCKS!! And just for the record, I feel dirty everytime I say putamen. He he he!!

Hey!
That was my dream!! Don't give Chris credit for my freaky deaky dreams. It was a gunfight, not a pillow fight. My pillow fight dream involved Des and Britney Spears. I was just caught in the middle. :)

Bama,
Losing your mind? I think that's a forgone conclusion. Damn these baseball playoffs!!! I cannot seem to motivate myself with all this baseball going on. I hope that my neuro grade doesn't reflect it, although it felt good to see the Cubs lose. Oh and Bama, it could be worse you could have dreamt that you were being power slammed to hell by the Undertaker moments after Doink spritz you in the eye with acid. Speaking of dirty....after Des' comment about the cerebellum, I can't help but laugh every time I see a picture of one. :D If cerebellum comes up as an answer on the test, old man's ba%#$ better not be an answer choice. She's got me so confused! Even when's she's not here, Des is playing with my mind.
Disco Dave

Oh yes, I am evil and plot to play with the minds of my classmates....he he he!!
Can I get a holla from you guys for the new section? AWESOME!!
Much needed after neuro....

I'll take the initiative and give Des a holler. Where were you Des... I knocked on your door to give the money I owe you for scribing, but there was no answer. Oh well, I'll give it to you tomorrow. It is refreshing to be done before 5pm the last two days!!! I think MJ is on a quest to find the answer to the most pressing question of the section-Dr. Geenens or David Bowie?
Disco Dave

I'll give a shout out to my homie hunny Des-a-ray. I too believe that Dr. Geenans is really David Bowie in disguise.

Being done with neuro is great. I don't feel like I am drowning anymore for the moment, other than re-learning the muscles of the forearm and hand, as well as the rest of musculoskeletal in order to be a decent TA and tutor. Damn that stuff is kinda tricky.

Well off to bed.......

C-Money

I too am struggling to relearn my musculoskeletal to enlighten a few minds....not working out so well for me...
Not much going on here, gang -- I'm ready for Thanksgiving already!!!

Peace out!!

I hear ya D, I hear ya......

Someone on this thread has an incredible amount of pazazz and natural charisma! And that person is............you fill it in!

Back to the books.......

That person is...........Mr. Rocky Balboa!!!!

Mr. BOJANGLES!!!

and........ME!!

This is a thread about one dog.....and one Dirty Dog .......

Today we are joined by Mr. Bojangles. Mr. Bojangles is dressed as a chinaman, as he has recently returned from an extensive visit to the far East....

Thank you, Ms. Colleen.

Mr. Bojangles is really a girl.........

Des,
You realize that nobody has any idea what we are talking about

eh eh eh-eh-eh eh eh eh eh DOGSHOW!

Got my new computer today....will never have to leave apt. again!
:p

Greetings from the Lou.....
I got to look at my Neuro final today and UGH!!! it was not as kind as I would have liked. Damn Bud Selig for scheduling baseball's post season during our neuro finals week. Des, I thought Mr. Bojangles was Sammy Davis Jr. Please educate me on this. Bama, have fun at home. Go Fish!
Disco Dave

Well we all finally received the good (or bad news) about the damn neuro final. I have to say I was displeased, doing worse than I usually do. Damn the man!! So tonight I will get sloppy drunk to aid in the erasing of the painful experience from my mind.

Have a good weekend and good luck on Monday!

Chris

Someone had to bump us back to the top. The quiz on Monday was a bit tough. It is hard to believe this section is almost over! Poor Bama, his collegiate team lost a heartbreaker! I feel your pain. How bout them World Champion Marlins? I may be paranoid but I have a sneaking feeling that Doctordes is plotting against me. I wonder if David Bowie...ah Dr. Geenens can help me on that one.
Disco Dave

What up--
Well neuro grades are out. Went decent I guess, would have liked a little higher grade but I guess a grade between an A and a C is ok.

Who else loves Biostats?????????? :mad: +pissed+

:D

-C

What up yo--
We were almost off the first page so I had to do something. Man I will be glad when this section is over......wait.......till Renal is over......wait......till the whole damn year is over. But then there is boards.......

How many disorders did you find in yourselves/family?? I think I am borderline on about five of them. Thank God I don't have one more symptom in each category or I would need therapy!!!!!!

Pharmacology Rocks!!!!!!!!!!

Damn the drugs!

DMC,

Help me out here. Wasn't it in one of Dr McCandless' lectures that he said when using certain drugs that if we took a holiday.....some time to celebrate........ that it would be..... it would be sooooooo nice? Or was that Pefley?

CD

McCandless bustin a move to holiday. What a great follies video that would be!
m.

I had a question, I hope everything is going well for everyone. I was curious. Are all exams for MS 1 going to be case-based? All the other exams in FOM and 3 quizzes in musculoskeletal were easy compared to the Musculoskeletal final...but I'm trying to decide if I should modify how I study to adjust for case-based questions which take too long to read. Or will they revert back to the question-answer, sort of like a memorization test where you just spit facts back out to them? Also, do you have any tips for surviving Skin , blood, and lymph it seems impossible with the dseases, drugs, etc. I can't believe we have all this information in 4 days of lecture...it seems more like 2 weeks worth, and all the quizbank there is...
Anyway, thanks,
Anthony

I am sure that my classmates will tar and feather me for this, but SBL was my favorite section last year. I believe one of the keys to SBL is doing quizbank, Yes, there a 1.6 million quizbank questions but after doing them enough you start to actually learn things from just doing them. Plus, on the final you will instantly recognize a ton of questions. Concentrate on Hubbard. He has a lot of lectures and his questions aren't normally that difficult. You just have to learn the pharm, Sorry. The skin stuff is not that hard. Just learn the diseases and how they are treated. Dr. Mathys' questions are pretty straightforward. Try not to get too down in the section, It is tough, but it is pretty important stuff. Good luck!

I'll save the tar n feathering for the football field next week :-) but I must say Bama has spent one too many summers in the hot Alabama sun w/o proper hydration.......

I have to agree with my esteemed colleague from Alabama. Even though you'll hear SBL sucks and that it's hard, I thought SBL was one of the most enjoyable sections of the first year. My advice: Do quizbank early and often and when in doubt on Hubbard's or Matthys' questions choose all of the above.
Disco Dave
PS. Tar and feathers clash with my white disco suit.

Good grief - what is wrong with Bama and ODB?!! YOU LOVED SBL? Oh, right - let me guess, you also wished neuro had lasted a little longer. Suckas.
SBL sucks but it's all about prioritzing. Don't spend tons of time on Hubbard's stuff....be familiar with the lecture but the fact is almost all of his answers are E. Spend your time doing quizbank and knowing the basis of Buxton's stuff. Know the clinical characteristics of the main diseases (impetigo, pemphigus, SLE, etc.) and the cases will be way easy...no need to practice questions preparing for them.
As for my football buddies, I am ONLY KIDDING! You are both MVP's of the two games this weekend in my eyes. Bobby, too I suppose. Our focus now must be to annihilate the Chubby's crew. Yes, there are a couple of preemies on the team that whine at every play - ahem, you know to whom I'm referring...but I truly believe we can take em.
:):):clap:

Des,
Why are you all up in my grill about SBL? I guess you liked musculoskeletal with its exciting array of arthritis, gout and sprained ankles. Yeah, Whateva!

As far as football goes, I think I either sprained my wrist really bad or fractured a carpal bone, b/c it hurts like a MOFO. I can barely move it. I probably should get it X-rayed, but I'm not. There is no way I am missing the championship game. I would consider cutting it off before I let that happen. I know, I am a sick individual. As for Chubby's and their neonates, I'm not too worried. Our team has a lot more fire. It was cool to see someone besides me get fired up. It's about time! Don't mess with Uncle Kenny, he'll beat you down!! Now if we just had a girl who could get fired up and bring the pain............ :)

Des, I heard that Chubby's likes to beat up tea cup poodles in their spare time. And they said that you whine too much.

Bama,
I thought it was your jaw that got hurt. And speaking of Musculoskeletal don't forget all the anatomy minutia. I enjoyed learning about arthritis and gout but the muscles of the hand. Give me break!! When a patient of mine dies because I did not know the muscles in the hand is the time I get out the ouja board and talk to Harry Caray about eating the moon if it were made of spare ribs! Uncle Kenny was fired up. Des, I hear Team Chubby's kills tea cup poodles...I guess Chubby's doesn't serve E. coli burgers after all?
Disco Dave

Man, I have really been slacking. There have been like 10 conversations since I have posted last.

Good luck to all of you in the "big game" this weekend. I think the Chubby burgers are actually made out of Tea Cup Poodles! Yummy!!!

I just have a question for ya: What is your favorite planet?? Mine is the sun!!!!!

Peace out

Chris

"I like the sun because it is the king of the planets."

"Its actually a star, Harry."

"Well, all I know is when that thing burns out we're all gonna be in trouble."

Cubs Win!

Hey UHSers,

I have been accepted to UHS and will most likely attend there next fall. I got the grand tour of Century Towers on my interview day. They looked fairly nice to me, but it was a tour! Do you any of you live there? or have any opinions about living there?

Dubbya

Hey Dub,

CONGRATULATIONS on your acceptance!

I and many other UHSers live at CT. It's been a good experience for me, essentially saving gas for the car and having the school right across the street. I'll be leaving in July. I'm thinking of selling a lot of stuff. If you're interested, stay tuned.

The apts are about 500sq ft, perfect if you don't have a ton of big furniture. The 5th floor is always packed with UHS students right before quizzes and tests. It's basically all about convenience.

Some friends don't live at CT and are happy. Mostly those with families or husbands/wives. Any other q's email me. You should start a UHS 2008 thread if there's not one already.

Best to you!
M.

Happy Thanksgiving everyone!! Dubya, if you like convenience and like having your friends extremely close then look at CT. I absolutely love living there; it's cheap, it's convenient, and saves me gas money. KC traffic bites in the morning, too.
SO....regarding the flag football game as of last weekend. Who's not happy? It's me. It's me. And to subdue my temper for a bit, I shall recite the following humorous lines:
Ladies and gentlemen, my name is Sally O'Malley, I'm proud to say I'm 50 years old. I'm not one of those gals who tries to hide her age unlike some other gals, and I like to KICK! STRETCH!!! AND...KICK!!! I'm 50!
It's not a difficult question...would ya eat the moon if it were made out of ribs? Just say yes and we can move on.

But mark my words: one thing I will NEVA!!! move on from is our heartbreaking loss to Lucifer's team himself (note the red t-shirts: coincidence? I think not). No doubt that some homosexual championship t-shirts will be made which will aggrevate me even more, but we all know who the real champions are...

The Kansas State Wildcats.

Peace out,
D:)

Hey, this is for all the second years. Is JoAnna seeing anyone right now?

Pretty Mean -
As a friend of Ms. J's, I cannot disclose this information to you without proper identification. I'm not for sure anyway. Sack up and just ask her dude! I promise she'll be nice either way.

D:):laugh: ;) :love:

Happy Thanksgiving Desiree!!!
:love:
M.

Thanks. But can you edit your post so that her last name isn't posted on the internet?

Good call, dude. We wouldn't want anyone stalking her on the internet....

I hope everyone had a happy Thanksgiving and are enjoying the rest of their break!!! I don't know who ended up more stuffed-me or the turkey! Pretty Mean, I think there are several second year gentleman who would like to know the answer to your question.
Disco Dave

No, I will not make out with you!!! I'm here to learn, people.

Hey, I was wondering if anyone knows if Jennifer Garner is seeing anyone right now. Oh, wait I meant Jennifer G. I wouldn't want to reveal her identity. :) Did you see Daredevil? YOUCH!!

Hey, is this SDN or Loveline? "Let's go to the phones. Steven from White Plains is worried that he loves himself so much that he might go blind. Is that true Dr. Drew?"
"No, its not true and stop calling Chris M., we know it's you."

Hey, if you were a hotdog and you were starving would you eat yourself? Come on, it's a simple question. A baby could answer it. I know I would. I would smother myself with brown mustard and relish. I would be delicious!

Des, I don't think you should talk about that team of Lucifers we played last weekend. I'm still a little verclempt (ok, smarty you spell it) about it. Talk amongst yourselves..... I'll give you a topic: The chickpea is neither a chick, nor a pea; discuss...... Ok, I'm back.

Man, I ate so much this week that if I wanted to haul ass, I'd have to make two trips! I guess I'll have to join Des down in the CT fitness center at 3 in the morning to burn off all of my Thanksgiving weight. :) Hope everyone got their fill of tryptophan. It's the poor man's Prozac, you know. I'll holla at ya'll back in the KC on Monday.

Doctordes,
Since you ignore my pm's:( :( :( :( :( i thought I should remind you that Disco Dave needs to turn in his leisure suit and disco ball for some polka dots and an accordion. I only have about three weeks to learn to polka so mold me ole' great Desiree ...I mean D (I don't want to have any internet crazies(ie MJ) harming my tutor.
Disco Dave
PS. Polish Power 4 life!!!!

Hey,

I hate to interrupt your thread, but I could use some advice. Does anybody have any experience or know anyone that has experience with the waitlist at UHS? Is there normally a lot of movement off of it as the year progresses?

The reason that I am asking is that I recently interviewed there on the 20th, been waitlisted :(, and really want to go there.

Thanks,
Willlie B

p.s. Drchris33, I think that I was in your group on the 20th. I was the one that made to comment about surgeons appreciating honesty during lunch:D

Dang it......I thought I kept it pretty low key that it was me calling in.......
Bama, is it true that if I shave my palms, I won't go blind???

Hope so........

Hope everyone had a good T-Day. Mine started off crappy.....vehicle problems, plus my princess puking in my back seat, that was awesome (didnt know a 1.75 year old could puke that much!) Where's the Dramimine????
I ate quite a bit.....now I definitely have "Fat guy little scrubs!"

Well I should be off to bed........Peace out!

Oh and to answer the question, I think Jo J is a les*&%#!
Ha ha

-C

Willie,
I'm sure someone else on this thread, such as an ambassador, aka CHRIS would know better than I would to answer this question. However, a few people that I've talked to in my class got waitlisted and I've heard from them that it was suggested they get an alum to write the school a letter - all of them did, and all were obviously accepted. This is just a few people that I know though so it is my only suggestion. I would think if you were waitlisted this early you wouldn't have that difficult of a time getting in. Hope this helps and GOOD LUCK!!
D:)

Doctordes,

Thanks for the reply and encouraging words:). I thought that Chris would be one of the people to answer this question, which is why I addressed part of my post specifically to him. I imagine that he hasn't had much time to check into yet, considering that you guys probably just got back from Turkey Day break.

Also, I don't think that I have an alumni from UHS that lives in my area:(. I did however email the admissions office and express my desire to goto your school.

Willie B

Willie--
Sorry to disappoint you bro. I just had no real information on the matter, so I didn't want to even try to guess. My humble apologies again.

Man is Dr. Dasouki the man or what?? I absolutely love genetics now. I am not going into ER/FM now, I am working on becoming the foremost expert on genetics!!!!

LMFAO!!! :D :D :D

-C

Chris,
I agree. The genetics lecture was both riveting and explosive, sustaining my attention for the full hour. It really tied the past year and a half together for me and I feel even more intelligent having sat through it...
Either that or it's a clean PUNT.

:D D

Hey Des,
How 'bout you sack up! :)

WOW people, that's all I have to say!
I can't believe that I haven't read this thing since Sept., and it has turned into the WWF (I mean WWE) singles connection. What is up???
How do you have time for this smut when there is medical informatics projects, biochem equations, and FCM directed studies to attend to.
If I were to perform a fisher exact test on this group right now I would say that at least 72.096% of you were in need of a group hug (P<0.05).

Okay, since I have nothing better to do, I will reply to my own post.
Yes, indeed Eurodocmom (clever name by the way), we could all use a group hug.

By the way Dr Chris, what happened to being to online ambassador. What's up with the slow replies? Cut down on the palm shaving and start doing your job!

Willie B, I am sorry I don't know anyone in our class that was wait listed, but I am sure at this early date you will hear some news soon. Keep us posted.

EuroDoc Mom or L (I wouldn't want some internet crazy to know your true identity),
How you doin'? Welcome back to SDN. How's the studying coming? I can say with a lot of honestly it is not going too well, thankfully there is not too much info on this quiz.
Disco Dave
PS. I guess since I know your identity, an internet crazy does know the true identity of EuroDocMom.:D

Eurodoc--
Boy you have some gall not being on here forever and then all of a sudden popping up and telling me how to do my job and inform me about my person hygiene habits!! :mad: :mad:

J/K

Welcome back.....good to see someone else post on here.

Yeah my give-a-crap factor is pretty low right now......probably should get it going today unless I want to flunk Renal!!

Been kinda quiet around here lately......waz up??

K I need to get to the school and starting hitting it.....Fo shizzle my nizzle

-C

Oh, Dr. Chris you know you are the studentdoc best post-er of all time (at least as far as this thread goes!)
Hey, what is all this shizzle my nizzle stuff? Have you guys been reading too much Dr. Seuss.
I am WAY out of the loop!
Hey, how bout those physiology questions on the quiz this morning...WWWHHHAAATTT are you asking ????? I literally got dizzy on the H+ question!

Hey, what is all this shizzle my nizzle stuff? Have you guys been reading too much Dr. Seuss

That is one of the funniest quotes I have ever seen!! Big Steve, you've outdone yourself this time.

Don't worry EDM, I had egg on my face yesterday when I asked DeJizzle Sizzle about it. Something to do with Snoop Dogg.

I'm WAY outta the loop!!
M.

Hells Bells,
What language are yall speakin? What is this, RUSSIA?!

What the hell is this Russia?

You folks are nuttier than a toddler turd after a box of caramel turtles.

I can't top that Michael Jackson (MJ)!
Is anyone having buyers remorse on the big Kaplan purchase?

EuroDocMom,
Buyers remorse, already? I have to see the course, first. HOPEFULLY, we will rock the boards because of it.
Disco Dave

EuroDocMom,
Does your name mean that you are a European doctor and a mom or that you are a doctor for european moms? Or maybe a european doctor for moms, regardless of nationality. Perhaps you are telling your mom that you are a european doctor. Maybe you are not a mom at all but are proclaiming that you are a european doctor in a Jamaican accent. "I'm a European Doc, Mon." It's all very confusing.
Is being a EuroDoc sort of like being at EuroDisney, b/c I heard that placed sucked.

I'm thinking about not taking Kaplan after all. First of all, I'm currently more broke than that little kid from Webster. Secondly, I think I am just going to get the Kaplan books from my cousin and buy the Q-bank. And C, I don't like the once a month weekend format. So, that is my current Kaplan course thought process. I will update everyone again in a few days. :) Well, I'd better go study. This section has me more frustrated than Michael Jackson trying to get into the Chuck E. Cheese.

im going to be part of the classof 2008 at uhs. Does anyone have any opinions on where to live. Im looking at ct, pinnacle and walnut tower. any suggestions or comments are much appreciated.

Hey Osteo,

CONGRATULATIONS on your acceptance!

I and many other UHSers live at CT. It's been a good experience for me, essentially saving gas for the car and having the school right across the street. I'll be leaving in July. I'm thinking of selling a lot of stuff. If you're interested, stay tuned.

The apts are about 500sq ft, perfect if you don't have a ton of big furniture. The 5th floor is always packed with UHS students right before quizzes and tests. It's basically all about convenience.

Some friends don't live at CT and are happy. Mostly those with families or husbands/wives. Any other q's email me.

Good luck!
M.

hey 2006ers,
how easy (or hard) is it to get a 3rd year Preceptorship you want? Specifically, Florida. How much do grades and scores play into the process.

Dubbya--
The way our third year works is by a match process. Grades, scores, class rank, etc are not even a factor. Here is how it works:
First off, we did a "straw pull" putting down our top three choices of where we would like to go for rotations. Then a computer program went thru and gave us info of the sites that would be full after first round, based on the straw pull.
Then on Match Day, you have turned in a sheet with your top three choices. A computer will go thru and do two different processes. Everyone is assigned a number. First way is for the computer to go thru and randomly select numbers. If your number comes up, it will look at your first choice. If that is open, you get it. if not, then it goes to your second choice. If that is full, goes to your third. So that cycle goes thru 100 times. Second, the same process takes place except this time when it gets to a number and if your first choice is full, the computer comes back to you later, and then assesses your second choice. And so on. After that goes thru 100 times, a few students assigned to this will evaluate the stats, looking at the class as a whole. Which ever method produces the best stats for the class is what they go with.

This year, 88% matched to their first choice; 94% matched in top three choices. This left about 14 people unmatched. So they had to go thru another match process, based on the sites that were not filled.

It turned out really good this year, and the majority is happy. As far as Florida goes, I believe there are four sites there; maybe three. But I know it is one of the more popular sites, so it tends to fill up fast.

I hope this helps. Sorry if it was vague.

Well back to the books....got finals this week!!!

I am assuming my classmates will be posting more as the week goes on!!

-C

Posting more. Yeah right Chris, unlike you a lot of us don't have time to be screwballing off on SDN.

My favorite word right now:
Juxtaglomerular.

M.

Chris left out one thing about the match process. Only the COOLEST get to go to Florida! So, all you dorks out there who are dreaming of rotating in an awesome locale, such as Ft. Myers, forget it. You should just plan on staying in Kansas City with all the other losers! :) Or maybe Loserville West: Wichita. Okay, so I am trying to avoid studying by inciting my classmates, Get off me!! It is hard being a pathological procrastinator.

Seriously, there are 3 Florida sites: Ft. Myers, St. Petersburg, and Orlando. Orlando only has 2 spots and is a smaller hospital. St. Pete has a couple of residency programs and Ft. Myers is where all the bad asses like me go. Just the luck of the draw. That's why they call it a lottery system. I was kidding about kewlness being a pre-req for Florida. I mean, they did let Des go down there. :) J/k, Des. Love Ya'. Don't hurt me.

I'm am a little confused about how the 4th year clerkship assignment works. The match process is just for you 3rd Year Cores right? Do you get to choose your 4th year clerkships in a similar way?

4th year is set up on your own. The third year you have nine or ten months of core rotations and one elective. Then the fourth year you have four core and six electives. you can set up your electives anywhere you want. So basically you are matching just for third years.

I guess I am one of the Losers in Loserville West!!!! Bama be sure to send me a pic of you on the beach in your thong!!

-C

The doctor of all european moms will be joining the other non-southern shizzle-nizzle Dr. Seuss loosers in the great City of Kansas, that is really in Missouri (I love this place).

Dear Ft Myers Hospital,
Please do not hold UHS responsible for the students that will be rotating with you this fall. How one whole role of wild/crazy/silly/loud students could all end up going to a relatively small slot available location via a lottery system is statistically unrealistic (oh, that would be a z score of 1000, and a p value of .00000000001.... and they thought I didn't learn anything!!).
Sincerely,
Class 2006

I guess I had to put my two cents in this "match" process. As a dual DO/MBA, I was guaranteed a spot in beautiful KCMO ... so not all the cool people are leaving for the beaches of the Sunshine State-EuroDocMom and Disco Dave are staying right here. Oh and Chris, what are you trying to do elicit my gag reflex...Bama in thong. UGH!!!!!!!!! Now if MJ would get a hold of pics of Des and Kendra in a thong on the beach ...better get the paddles because Disco Dave is in D-fib.
Back to the kidney and the cave,
Disco Dave

Chris,
I didn't mean to imply that everyone rotating in KC or Wichita are losers. OK, that's exactly what I meant, but I mean that in the nicest way possible. :) I don't know about Wichita, but there will be no male thong-action in Ft. Myers. Now females, that's a different story. In my mind Ft. Myers is a magical place where it never snows, the women all look like Jennifer Garner and they all walk around wearing thongs. The nurses at the hospital look like they walked out of a Aerosmith video and the cafeteria has fresh shrimp and crab legs everyday. What?? Shut-up!! Stop trying to ruin my dream!!

I guess all this studying pee-pee has me a little loopy! Does anyone know how to treat nephritic-nephrotic, rapidly progressive, membranoproliferative vesicouretal reflux with a twist? I know it is diagnosed via transrectal ultrasonography, but I can't find a treatment anywhere. Probably corticosteroids.

Current favorite term: Henoch-Schlong purpura

Ou est OH58D?! ;)

Dear Ft. Myers beach bums,
Get ready to move to the land of blue hair and wrinkly people who wear flamingo pink lipstick and slop it up at Crabby Bill's. Why do I envision this site closing after next year?! They're gonna go nuts.
Yours truly,
Cleveland-mistake-on-the-lake-bound.

Fave word of the day:
Terazosin:mad: :mad: :mad:
M.

Let me give you some helpful advice for rotations...go to places were RESIDENTS and INTERNS are...they tell you what you need to know, they help you learn procedures, they guide you through the jungle of the PRE-RESIDENCY experience. No sense in making a decision on residency if you ain't even around residents!
I had 2 great friends that went to Ft Myers (the land of old people and car dealerships...don't let anyone tell you different)...DON"T STAY THERE YOUR 4th Year.
If you plan on being in a competetive residency, diversity in education is necessary. Being around other medical students, being involved in good didactics, being on call are ALL necessities.
Hey you guys should have a good time, but clinicals need to prepare you for residency (first and foremost).
I was in St. Louis during my 3rd year, and while it snowed alot, I also had a blast and learned a ton from residents. It payed off.

Overall "the match" process at UHS sucks, and has little regard for student education but rather fulfilling negotiated contracts with hospitals. Make the best of it, read Ferri or the Washington Manual and figure out what you want to do with the rest of your life. Enjoy some beer along the way too!

:clap:
Good advice, Doc! Got any friends up in Cleveland?
M.

Correct me if I am wrong, but Mary, didn't you tell me you don't have time to post on here?? You have been posting like a fool!!!!

:) :)

-C

Who you callin fool? Foool!
:p

Guys, Guys lets not fight. This is not the time to be turning on each other. Now is the time to put our differences aside and take on the real enemy: Dr. Kirilla!! :)

What's all this shizz about thong-wearing and Florida getting louder? Y'all are just jealous -- and yes, I AM going to hurt you for saying I wasn't cool, Bama. Come on. For real. Why you gotta be all up in my grill? Pay you will.
In Ft. Myers next year it's on like Donkey Kong. I know you all agree wtih me, too. You'll be getting a lovely Christmas Card from "The Real World Ft. Myers" crew next year, with Bama in his hot pink man thong and all. Contain your excitement ladies. Don't let him fool you; he's just a tease and will leave you the first chance he gets.
:)D

Speaking of being hurt, Des....
Disco Dave is calling you out. You were supposed to teach me the polka but I guess you were too busy watching the constant police chases down Indy Ave or doing something more important like study anatomy minutia. Disco Dave is hurt, perturbed, and taking aback. :(

ODB,
Dude, why don't you just go out to your local Blockbuster and rent 'Polka For Dummies'? Or perhaps 'Dorf on Polka.' I even hear that there is a book entitled 'polka made ridiculously simple.'

because Bama,
It's more fun to call Des out on SDN.
Disco Dave

It's all fun and games, ODB until she pokes out one of your eyes. Oh yeah, I've seen her do it. Not pretty, not pretty at all.

Dude she will pop out that eye, roll it in rice and seaweed and eat it like sushi. Then she would make me try it too!! No offense ODB, but damn.......

Well I am so excited about this exam tomorrow.......and Friday........Renal Rocks!!!

"Medicine is fun....hahahahahahaha.......SHUT UP!!!!" (direct quote from the midget)

OK I am going to bed.....so I can cram for path!

-C

OK...FINE, ODB - you win, but I'll have you know that it was the constant nagging and not the goodness of my heart that has made me cave: I will teach you the polka.;)
I was thinking Friday after the final because I really don't think it'll take more than an hour. Email me and I'll let ya know which room I'm in. OR you can ask J the B or Bama as they spy on me daily through their apartments.
Beware, boys. All that is being said about me is quite true: I am in fact an aggressive sushi eater and combine the fine art into killing others.
Watch out now!
:eek:
D

Who else totally sucked it up on the Path practical??

-C

That path practical was crap on a stick! I bet we are the only medical school in America that has black and white path practicals. What a crock! Why don't they just write all the exams in braille? We need a little extra challenge.

Don't mind me, I am pissed at the world at this moment.

MJ,
The path god has fallen?! Tell me it's not so. My world is turned upside down...next thing you know someone will tell me that wrestling and Santa Claus aren't real and the moon isn't made of cheese! I don't think it was so much the photos as much as more bad ERF questions than normal. MJ you know it is pertinent to your path training to know what a "glitter" cell is.+pissed+
To all my Class of 2006'ers out there, good luck tomorrow.
Disco Dave

Right now I have the worst headache of my llliiiff...........:spam:

oh oh oh....i know this one.......SUBARACHNOID HEMORRHAGE!!!!

-C

Exuse me, but I was wondering if the MSII Renal Section Final was at 0800 or at 1230 today. I showed up for the 0800 test, but the questions on the test were not from the same section I studied :-) All..... have a great break!! LKD

YEAH, Hopefully the guy in the question who uses bad form while rotating to the side while lifting heavy packages recovers over the holiday!!! WTH??!!
Happy Holidays
M.:hardy:

When do we go back to class?

0800 on 05 JAN 2004 for those hard chargers who don't want to miss a single minute of endocrine!!!! Make sure you study hard over your break so you're ready!!!!!! HAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!

Hi!
Only 1.75 shopping days left. Although, on my budget, there isn't a whole lot of shopping going on.

So how much OMT have you guys utilized on your loved ones so far? I'm already getting a clientele here (j/k, just the b/f.:D )

Have a good time everybuddy.
M.

Hey guys!
I don't know about you, but Christmas shopping is REAL easy for me this year...I think UHS should have given us like $1000 of our tuition back just to say "Merry Christmas." Yeah. Anyway.
Hmmm...got a new pair of running shoes today but that's not where it stops for us short leg syndrome folk, oh no - the lift is yet to come.
Peace out!

OK...so apparently everyone else is having an exciting break with no time at all to post. So, I can just have conversations with myself online!! Yes!
ODB, let me know how the polka fest 2003 goes.
Goin to see Lord of the Rings tonight...the highlight of my whole year! Besides Big 12 Conference game, of course. That was SWEET.
OU punks need to know their role!!! WHO'S WITH ME?!!

Des,
Since you are obviously missing me terribly I'll talk to you so you don't look AS crazy. You shouldn't taunt the poor Oklahoma people. They are still a little sensitive. I think they are afraid of LSU. The Superdome is going to be like one big drunk-tank. Those LSU people are nucking futs. I've been down there for a game, not pretty. Oh, well Geaux Tigers! Never thought I'd say that in my life.
What up people? It was 65 friggin' degrees down here in God's country. Can you believe that? I'm loving it! I'm going to see Big Fish tonight, the awesome Tim Burton movie that was filmed right here in my hometown. Anyway, I've been reading up on my endocrine, haha...I couldn't even finish that sentence. ODB said that your lessons were weak and he had to resort to Denise Austin's "Slimming Down with Polka" series.

Hey, Des if you were a hotdog and you were starving, would you eat yourself? It's a simple question; a baby could answer it. Just say yes and this thread can move on.

Just thought I'd throw some random Harry in there for ya.' I know you're missing it. ;)

Do we get Spring Break? When is it?

Spring Break is 3/15-3/19.
Thanks for livening up my break Bama you knew just what I needed! Hey -- the important question is not would you eat yourself if you were a hotdog, but could you move yourself if you were a bookbag? Hmmm....
What about that Waverunner? Get on it, boy.
Good news yall - I'm working on getting a karaoke machine for next semester -- ah yeah, party in my apartment (with or without other people) ALL THE TIME. Watch out now.
D:)

What up y'all--
Dont have internet at home so I haven't been keeping up wit da UHS homies!!

Break for me has been pretty good. Love seeing the kiddos. Travelled alot to all the Christmai. (That is pleural for Christmas).

Anyway.....started studying today for endocrine. Lovin' every min of it! Going to Wichita tomorrow to check out the hospitals and dorms for next year. Should be a good time!

Can't think of anything witty to say.....brain isn't really functioning. I will holla lata!

-C

Hiya..
Miss you guys a little bit. It's about 54 degrees and cloudy as usual here in Cleveland. I survived Christmas in Erie with my family. Looking forward to relaxing this week and partying New Year's Eve. I'm @Caribou coffee right now hanging out. Brought my 'puter so I can be the internet-obsessed junkie that I am. Just ask John.

Was Santa Claus good to everyone this year? My favorite giftie was my new Dansko clogs. I only take them off when I shower :) .

For anyone xcept Bama, Chrissie and Des, when is our first "Kaplan" weekend??

I saw Mona Lisa Smile the other day with my niece...very good...a big fat knockoff of Dead Poets Society xcept it's Chicks. And no one commits suicide.

Well, TTYS compadres. Is UHS email down today?
M.

GAME ON!! I learned how to use my new palm today to download fun filled music and other accessories. Plus I got a really cute case for it. It's the cutest ever. And fully functional as an MP3 player - JEALOUS?!! Yeah, I did it.
Chrissie and I are going to lunchie tomorrow - I wish I had time to take him to the many hot spots here in Wichita, but there's just too many (:laugh: ) - I am hilarious.
Mary, I MISS YOU! Call me QUICK! I couldn't find your cell # in my phone again and had to cry myself to sleep...waaaaa....
Hmmm...well, I suppose I'll go watch some TV now. Big Shocker, as that's all I've been good for for about a week now. Worthless POS, that's me. Then there's Chrissie who's getting a head start on endo. I've been spending some time with a different kind of endo, if you know what I mean.....:o
D:)

Fellow UHS'ers,
I'm back from my sojourn to PolkaLand (Green Bay) and Rochester, Minnesota. I enjoyed the polkaing, seeing my sis, and touring the Mayo Clinic. I got back to St. Louis just in time to win at the gaming boats on New Year's Eve. To all of fellow UHS'ers...Happy New Year. Des, Disco Dave is always up for karaokeing (sp?) especially vintage 70's music.
Disco Dave

Hey guys...
Just enjoying my last day before heading back to KC. Have been cleaning like a b#@%* today. Our house was messy, like usual. Thanks Dessie for eating with me. Quiznos is the shiznit!

Man I toured the hospital in Wichita and saw the housing. Very awesome....really getting pumped for rotations in Sept. Yeah Des had some endo the other day; toked it up on front of me without sharing!!

The holidays were decent except for fighting with my wife for most of it. Haven't fought all year, so we had to make up for it I guess. Bought a new computer for our house; one of those HP Wal-Mart specials. It is pretty tight actually. So I have been messing with it....no internet though. Hard to get good service in BFE!!

Well I suppose I should go back home. I need to get some things done, like find all my laundry in the piles of my kids' clothes. Honestly, why do six people need as many clothes to provide for the entire town of Clyde?? I have no friggin' clue!!

Peace out!

-C

Holy crap buckets Batman.....

Nice way to ease us back into school with 60 pages of lecture over I have no idea!!!! Man gotta love it

-C

Dudes....Biochem is the DEVIL!!!
So....let's talk about something a little more entertaining. Hmmm, what about ODB's randomly loud outburst in class today? I'll refer to it as the "coffee cake incident"
Boy....sure am glad I went to Peff Daddy's lecture today since he's giving it again Friday.

10:37am. I hear a horrific choking/snarfing noise directly behind me.
....I turn around slowly, and in awe, observe ODB leaning forward over an empty Entenmann's New York Crumb Cake tray, eyes open wide, cheeks puffed out, powdered sugar everywhere. Knowing that it could blow any minute, I turn back around and pretend that I didn't see what I just saw... and return to the inspiring lecture on the pentose phosphate pathway.

..it is what WILL go down in history as....

The Coffee Cake Incident

Doctordes,
It could be worse... it could be anatomy and all it's minutia!!! I'm glad you guys find humor in the little "incident" today... I could have choked to death and that way I would have become the Old Dead Bastard:( . I've said it all along, I'm just here for my entertainment value.
Disco Dave AKA the Coffee Cake Instigator

Oh, ODB relax - we wouldn't have let you die of coffee cake choking. Now Bama on the other hand....he he he :laugh:
Dudes! This physiologist's notes are CRAZY! That's entirely too many figures to cram into an hour lecture...I opened it up and was like :wow: WHOA. Hells bells. Anyway, who's up for a squirt of oxytocin? Anyone? ;)
D:)

I'm gonna pretend like I didn't read that callous remark...... What's wrong Des, Jealous?! Does anyone else think that the physiologist guy looks like Dr. Treffer and Dr. Phillips' love child? Des, keep your oxytocin pulse generator under control. :)

Doctordes,
The ODB is always up for a shot of oxytocin.;) Physiology, ummmm.... it could be worse it could be anatomy with all of its minutia!!! The horrible thing of it is I haven't read through last week's Physiology notes yet (I guess it's not so bad I did read through his powerpoints.) I'm so behind. I'm still in a state of mourning because of the Shams, I mean Rams.:mad: I know.... lets not go for a TD when I'm on the first and 10 Panthers 15 with 32 seconds left in regulation. +pissed+ +pissed+ +pissed
Oh well, there's always next year.
Disco Dave

hey guys--
we were falling off the page, had to boost us back up. i am hangin out in Clyde all week. My grandma died on Sunday (dx with oat cell a year ago) so I had to go back home to the funeral. That was yesterday (Wed) so I am just staying here the rest of the week. I am at the library now, getting ready to study.

So have a good rest of the week and I will see y'all on Monday

Chris

Chris, I'm very sorry 'bout your grandma. It's never easy doing the funeral thing.

Let us know if you need anything!
M.

Chris,
My prayers and condolences go out to you and your family about the passing of your grandmother. If you need anything don't hesitate to ask.
Disco Dave

Hello class of 2006,
I hope UHS is treating you well. I know that you have already been told where you are going for 3rd year but i just wanted to let people know how the great Grandview hospital in Dayton,oh is. You will start setting your 4th year up in the Dec/Jan of next year and I would highly recommend Grandview. We have just about any residency you could want including radiology, ortho, em, ent etc etc. Its competitive here so do well on boards and try to rotate through. I know that when i was a 2nd year i had no idea what sites were good so if anybody is interested in Ohio send me an email if you have any questions. Study hard and good luck on boards!(take kaplan)

Who else is ready for endocrine to parish????

+pissed+ +pissed+ +pissed+ +pissed+

Die Endocrine, Die!!!! You sick, twisted bastard...... Okay, maybe I am a little too ready for it to be over.




+pissed+ :mad: +pissed+ :mad: +pissed+ :mad:

Me three!!!!!



+pissed+ +pissed+ +pissed+ +pissed+ +pissed+ +pissed+

Personally, I'm pretty excited about taking the 2004 Grandview Hospital Endocrine Final next Friday at 1:13 pm CST, brought to you by the fine folks at Kaplan and Dr Pepper also, according to one of the most recent posters.

carpe

Hmph. I think I'm hypothyroid. I'm freezing (well then again it is 2 degrees out), gaining weight, constipated, my voice is deeper and I have slow mental and physical function.

Or maybe it's just the phillips effect.
+pissed+ I'll join in the computer throwing.

That's hilarious! Our final exams are corporate sponsored now. I can't wait for the Kotex and Masengill Reproductive Final or the Human Development Final brought to you by Pampers and Geritol :)

Bama,
You forgot that the Integrative (Medicine) section is sponsored by Dr. Sun's Acupuncture clinic and the makers of St. John's wort. My motivation is nil...maybe the "big Hulkamaniac in the sky" will give us a snow day Monday to buy me some time.
Disco Dave

Easy, killer.

There isn't an integrative medicine section, it's integrative done by DMc to "integrate" everything we've learned before boards.

This quiz on monday is making me very unhappy.

Easy, killer.

This quiz on monday is making me very unhappy.

How many times has everyone read pharm?? And how many understand it?? I think I have used three sources, read them like five times each plus the notes and I still don't know a damn thing!!

Anyway, I think I will throw a little accu needle in S5 and get to work. Got through week 3 (excluding pharm) and onward to week 4.

Hey ODB, I need to hear about the anatomy minutia at the Bazooka's sometime. Heard it is pretty cool. Were you able to tell the fusion of the urogenital fold into the......you know........

Have fun this weekend folks!!!

-C

:wow:


just for fun.

I agree 100% Mary. Man Greaseburger's notes are f'in ridiculous. I dont remember learning half that stuff.

Well good luck to all on the final. I am so ready to be done

-C

Dr. Chris,
I'll tell more about Bazooka's but not here...I wouldn't want the average SDN reader to think I'm some sex-crazed lunatic. Canceling that path practical was utterly ridiculous!!! I feel for my classmates who drove through this storm. Not to mention, i'd like to fail the thing and get on with my life.
Disco Dave
PS. To tell you how steamed I was+pissed+ I came very close to dancing to '80's music which would have put the freeze on the Disco Inferno.

That Endo Final blew ...I thought I had blown out my pituitary after I walked out of there. Have fun this weekend!
Disco Dave

I must agree with Student Doctor Disco......that final was horrible!! I felt that I guessed the entire test. Wow.......praying for a high SD!

And now on to Huff and Puff!!!!! Man with each lecture, makes you wanna be an OB/GYN more and more (knee to chest) :)

Anyway, just noticed that we were falling off the page!!!!

-C

We fell off the first page so I had to get us back on.
Hope everyone is having a good weekend and a fun Devil's Holiday (Valentines).

Well back to the studying!!!!

Chris

damn it people......get to work

:)

Pocahontas had breasts.

You can milk anything with nipples....

I've got nipples Bama, can you milk me????

Hey Chris, don't tempt Bama like that. He may just milk your nipples!
Disco Dave

Hey, is it just me or was the video of the doc spreading the dude's butt cheeks totally uncalled for. I mean, come on! Nobody wants to see Father Time's anus. Here I was, thinking that I was going to see a run of the mill pelvic exam and BAM! I'm ambushed by Sphincter Von Assenstuff and Dr. IM Longfinger. I personally believe that all physical exam models should come from the same agency that picks 80's hair band models.(See Cinderella's video for "Don't Know What You Got" for a reference) That way everybody wins. I'm going to write my Congressmen about it.

Hey Bama,

Sphincter Von Assenstuff..... that was your Alabama congressman!!!! Where is my bango when I need it.....

Might want to check by that pile of books next to your computer -- the pile with your dictionary and spellcheck software-- for your bango ;)

Sorry, gotta support 'Bama on this one. Are you following the logic?

Ok, back to my Bon Govi CD............

Hey SDNers! Sorry for my slackagge as of late. I have just returned from an extensive trip to the far East. And yes, Bama, I am dressed as a chinaman.

:)

I was beginning to think that Doctordes thought she was too good for us SDN'ers. I guess that happens when you turn 25:D . Don't you think it odd that one of our section directors is Grandpa Munster? What does he know about PID? STDs? or C-sections? I'm totally confused! Happy Mardi Gras or as they say in France Happy Fat Tuesday!
Disco Dave
PS. Where can I get bango lessons?

Yeah we haven't heard from our Dr.Des in a while. I am sure she has been busy shopping for a tea cup rat or something!!! :)

Anyway, so ready for Huff and Puff to be over. I think the women in the class are killing the average since this is there area

Beware of the Estrogen Rage.........

-C

I'm NEVER too good for my gang! Yeah, I think I agree with Chrissy in that estrogen makes repro a bit easier...hmmm...JEALOUS?!!
I'm too sleepy to be witty. Must go get clean laundry.

Doctordes says now that she is never too good for her gang. But come August when she's basking in the Florida sun she'll say, "who is this Disco Dave guy?" :( Chris is right, Doctordes has the advantage is this section...anybody know where I can get a shot of oxytocin?
Disco Dave

Don't you mean a "squirt" Dr Disco??

Chris,
My bad.

considering my potential close relationship with the generator of the quote "squirt of oxytocin" I was going to correct disco but chris beat me to it.

What's all this noise up in here? ODB, you are confusing your hormones with your adult beverages again. You better cut back on the "shots of oxytocin" or your liver's gonna look like a pumice stone.

I don't think having more estrogen makes you understand Repro. better. That's like saying that ODB aced Mind, Spirit and Behavior because he has advanced Frotteurism.

Wasn't that delivery video today CRAZY? You know, I once saw an Armenian woman give birth in the back of a cab. A beautiful 8 lb. 12 oz. baby boy named Tonzu. Great kid. We still keep in touch.

Hey Bama,
No respect even in cyberspace!!! I guess it could be worse...I could be eating at the faculty table at Follies. Oh wait... I am. Then again with my guns everyone will mistake me for McWhorter anyway.:cool:

GET OVER YOURSELVES!! Nobody around here is getting a squirt of oxytocin - especially now that I've seen the horror of what it causes. I am NEVER having children. That is just nasty.
Episiotomy anyone?

Doctordes is right...Bama needs to get over himself. He thinks he's all that and a bowl of grits.

Fallin off the page again ladies and gents.....

Man I am so sick of girl parts.....I never thought I would say that. Repro sucks!!!!

Can I go back to Mind Body Spirit??

-C

One more time...

I have posted about the Riverside Townhomes and there are only 2 units left. Here in the townhomes, we like to try to keep students in the homes, thus I am letting you know...

There are two 2 BR 1 1/2 bath units left. They are 15 minutes from the school, north of the river, and 5 minutes from Barry Rd. (lotsa shopping). The townhomes are three levels- 2 BR's upstairs with a full bath, kitchen, LR, half bath, and dining on the main level, and a full basement downstairs. The two BR townhome rents for $370 a month!!!!! You can't beat it!!!! If you might be interested, please email me at ahempel@mail.com and I will give you my phone # so I can give you more information. This is a great community full of UHS students and dental students and a wonderful family community as well!

Email me if you are interested!

Amy

Uh, thanks for the info, I guess..... Know of any good places to live in Ft. Myers, FL?

Repro sucks (insert Des' favorite term for human posterior here)!!
How many stupid procedures can they give us? I am sick of studying stuff like the Brotsky procedure for asscrack prolapse or the Ernst method of varicocele ligation!

The Ernst method of varicocele ligation? Bama, why are you studying the male reproductive system? You know better than that....we will spend a whopping three days of lecture at the end of the section to study the pathology, physiology, and clinical aspects of the entire male repro system.:laugh:

The Ernst method of varicocele litigation?

Is that where you sue a varicocele? I'm not sure even the most unethical attorney would take that case.

Hey guys, i was wondering if any of you knew anything about the PRIMO loan program?? is it hard to get into?? i have been living in missouri all my life, and would like to stay here, preferablly in a more rural setting in fp, so this program looks like a perfect fit for me if i can get into it.

any help at all would be very appreciated.

thanks again!

I don't know anything about PRIMO but I would caution against accepting any loan that "locks" you into a certain field, especially a primary care specialty. I know most of us change our minds almost weekly about what we want to do and we haven't even done our rotations yet. So, you may think that you want to do primary care now but when UHS hammers you with tuition to the tune of 30 G's plus, you might reconsider. Just something to think about.

Cool Dreams,
When I started this arduous journey of medical school applications back in the Fall of '98, getting into Primo was not that difficult. For every year of tuition PRIMO pays, you have to give back a year of service in an underserved area of Missouri. Since I have not looked at the program for a while I think the people to ask are the Financial Aid office here at UHS. I do agree with what BamaAlum wrote.
Now on a different note....
I hope everyone enjoyed Follies as much as I did!!! One week until Disco hits Florida.

Almost fell off the first page again.
Not much to say........other than good luck with Path and the Final.

Have a great spring break!

-C

Once again, here to save us from falling off the page!! :)
Hope everyone is having a great spring break. I've been reading BRS for Phys.....man it doesn't get any better than this.

I found out that I have forgotten a lot of the basic crap that we learned some time ago. So I have a feeling that I will really know "Can't Stand ya" by the end of break!!

Hey Des, let us know how France is!!

Peace out my homies!

-C

man, back from spring break and immediately have to break out the Astroglide!!!

Yesterday sucked, today was worthless........

Dr. Samad could have gone a little faster though I think in the path review!!!! :wow:

Just had to get us back on the page

-C

Chris,
Hey this just in....SIADH will produce a DILUTE urine. Man, this is the second time one of those idiot IM residents from MCI has said something during our End of Life thing that was just totally wrong. Then he looks at me like I'm the moron b/c I can't understand why :rolleyes:

?? sooo uhh... u cannot produce a diluted urine sample??

Yeah I thought the same thing. After I said that, I knew it was wrong but I guess didnt want to belabor it anymore.

Kind of makes you think huh?? I have no clue why I said that. I am retarded

Thanks for clearing that up though!!!! :)

-C

No, you will have concentrated urine because you will have too much Anti-Diuretic Hormone, so that means you will be retaining fluid. So you will be saving rather than peeing!!!!!

oh hehe... i thought u were all saying u cannot take a urine sample and make it diluted... man.. i gotta shutup... i have no idea whats goin on............ sorry!!

JUST AN FYI !!!


Yellowstone May Be Getting ready to Blow Now!?

James McCanney just phoned me and said he just spoke to someone at the CBS newsroom and says there may be an announcement this evening regarding something that happened at Yellowstone last night, which indicates that it's getting ready to erupt now. Jim is creating an update about this breaking news as I write this.

http://www.jmccanneyscience.com/

Mark Hazlewood

I don't think I'm in Florida anymore.... where did the break go? Bonjour to Doctordes! I picked up my Endocrine Performance (or lack thereof) Report dated from 3/5 today. I learned two things by it...1. I need to turn up the heat in endo physiology b/c I hear that it is heavily tested on boards and 2. I need to pickup my campus mail more than once a month. Bama, UAB BETTER get the job done against the KU Jaybrows, uh, Jayhawks.
Disco Dave

Hey guys....
We were in the middle of the second page. Totally unacceptable!!

Anyway, I just figured out today that we have exactly 10 weeks until boards!! Oh S*&%! So that means I only have 70 days to learn things that I should have learned in the first two years!

Just thought I would share my anxiety with you all!!

Chris

Hey Dudes! France was great...only a couple of them started raggin on Bush so I had to put the smack down, but other than that....it was great!
OK, OK ODB - I see how it is. Tryin to be shady...I know the game's over, but come on. UAB vs KU? You know, I gotta be honest here; sometimes I just don't know about those folk from St. Louis. Nelly's the only thing that's saving that city. :)
Is anyone else sick of random people MANIPULATING YOUR SCHEDULE?!! We had like four things scheduled over our LUNCH BREAK today and nobody knew what the heck was going on. I'm obviously not over it.
Boards are scary and I am bawling.

D:)

I'm not 'fraid of those stupid boards... Come on, Cletus!!! It ain't nothing but a short walk, boards. You walk over but you're limping back, boards!! Those boards start to mess with me and I'll beat them down like they stole something.

Ok, ok just trying to get everyone pumped up. Hey Des, the Boards called and said that you were a little punk and they were going to drop you like a bag of dirt! Yeah, and the Boards all went to BYU!! Oh, and ODB, the Boards also told me to tell you that the entire Cardinals organization were pieces of human garbage and that Hulk Hogan is an over the hill sissy.


See you just gotta know how to motivate people.....What?? The Boards said what about my momma?? Stupid Mutha....... It's on now, Boards!!....

Sure Doctordes,
Rag on my hometown.:( Apparently, I made the mistake of rooting for a team in Alabama....they don't have the "stuff" to get the job done. Bama, the only people that are human garbage in the Cardinals organization are Ozzie Smith and that no good mascot of theirs that damn Fredbird (with his beady eyes..). Hulk Hogan an over the hill sissy? Those are fightin' words. I'd like to see Hollywood give Bear Bryant an atomic leg drop!
Disco Dave

WELL, folks it's official - I'm retiring THE 069. That's right, gentlemen. My dad snagged me a new tag and I'll never get obscene sexual gestures while driving again (until I move out of the hood, of course)! It's sad but true.
Peace out homies!!

WHAT???!!!!

Des how can you do this?? I can't believe it.....

Quick someone give me a topic...I am really reclemptsed!!

Man I am severely disappointed. Who put him up to this??? I want names, numbers, birthdays, favorite colors, etc.

Someone is going to pay!!!!!!!!!


+pissed+ +pissed+ +pissed+ +pissed+ +pissed+ :wow:

Chris,
Due to extenuating circumstances I must inform you that the origin of persuasion must not be revealed. He/she/it is to be kept anonymous at all costs. I realize this is a difficult time for you, but think of well, ME. Having to innocently drive a vehicle to accomplish my activities of daily living and suddently finding myself in the middle of some random, strange porn gesture? How offended do you think I am? I cannot withstand such smut - my clear conscience cannot be tainted!! I must digress. I promised myself I wouldn't cry.

Are anyone else's sinuses shot? I feel like I've somehow paralyzed all smell ability and cilia activity in my nose without ever smoking a cigarette.

D:)

Doctordes,
Innocently drive a vehicle you write. Please! You and innocence are like oil and vinegar-they don't mix. I guess Bama isn't posting because I got his bowels in an uproar (intussception, perhaps?) because of the Bear Bryant comment. Or maybe he's just so interested in this section all he's doing is studying.
Disco Dave
PS. I just wish for Des' sake that Dr. Rushing would have incorporated the word petumen into his lecture today.

Anyone else finding it hard to study for this quiz?? Well I guess for the upcoming week even??

I just think this section is a big waste of time and that we should just get the extra time to study. Then Integrative, then a comprehensive final AFTER the Integrative final. It makes no sense how they have this stuff set up.

Well I guess enough complaining. Just wanted to express my concerns and feelings.........+pity+ +pity+

-C

How can you hate this section??? What other section has taken the time to teach you important stuff like the stages of breast pudding!!! :-) I almost fell off my last row seat when I read that outstanding quiz question!!! And can someone tell me where in the world Dr. "There aint' no sunshine when shes gone" went to medical school........ I've decided this section was constructed just to prove that they can in fact write even worse test questions than any other section!!! LD

Speaking of Dr. Maya Angelou herself (Mary came up with that one:)), what was up with her choices? They weren't even grammatically correct phrases - I want to know if she EVER had an english course in her entire dramatic life. What a tool.
Good luck on OPP, everybody! I'm SO ready to be done with it already!
Des:)

BUMP! We fell off the first page guys. Gotta show some class pride! Oh, this is James Park by the way.

We don't take kindly to strangers in these parts..Just kidding James, welcome aboard. Just watch out for ODB and Des on this board. They are like Iraqi insurgents. They'll attack you and then go hide. That's right ODB. I'm calling you out, you pansy.

Welcome back aboard, Old Yeller , I mean James. Bama, speaking of insurgent pansies, Alabama was part of the Confederacy. Last time I checked they lost that war over 150 years ago, stop crying in your grits and get over it. When Doctordes and I team up and lay the Smackdown on you we'll make Sherman's march to the sea look like a short trot.
ODB
PS. Bama you have awakened a sleeping giant.

PS. Bama you have awakened a sleeping giant.

Yeah, but we were there fighting, unlike Missouri who was sitting on the fence during The War of Northern Aggression. What a bunch of borderstate pansies! I guess I shouldn't be surprised, after all this is the state that produced the St. Louis Cardinals. It must be sad to lose to the Cubs, the perennial losers of professional sports. Don't even get me started with the Rams. A monkey could coach that team and win the SuperBowl. Unfortunately, their coach isn't a monkey (no offense, Dr. Ballam)

PS. ODB, don't bring that weak stuff in here

:laugh: Haha, I really missed this stuff!

Bama,
Just out of curiosity how many professional baseball and football championships have been won by a team from Alabama? ZERO!!! Where was Ozzie Smith (aka human garbage) born? Mobile, Alabama Doctordes, I don't know where you are....but we need to join forces to take care of this Bama clown. Can you smelllllllll what the Rock is cookin'!
ODB

All I have to say is...I may not be so smart with history, but I KNOW that loyal followers to the WWE ALWAYS prevail. Back up your truck, Bama. "Alabama this" and "Alabama did that".......GET OVER YOURSELF. :eek: Yeah. I said it. Jealous? :meanie:
JAMESY!!!!! It's lovely to hear from you my darling. So glad you've come back from the dark side.
Good luck studying this week gang!
Des:)

Oh No!!! The ODB and Des have joined forces to take me down!! I'm so scared!! PLEEEASEE. That's like Truman State and Friends University challenging Alabama to game of football, or any sport for that matter. You're right ODB, we haven't won any professional championships. We were too busy dominating the college football landscape for the past 100 years. We're proud to have the best player the Cardinals have ever produced, Ozzie Smith. We've also produced Willie Mays, Hank Aaron and Satchel Paige. Not to mention current players like Tim Hudson, Chris Mohr, Terrance Long and your Cardinals boy, Marlon Anderson(who won the game for you yesterday). So, you two just better face it. The state of Alabama dominates! I only have one thing to say to ODB and Des, Come on, Cletus!! It ain't nothing but a short walk.

Bama,
Wasn't LSD developed in a Bama lab? That could explain the hallucinations. Bama this Bama that. I'm beginning to wonder if "Bama" is really from Alabama or is he a Tennessee native?... a closet Vols fan, perhaps? Oh Doctordes, Bama does not have a truck to back up only a short bus. Bama, can cry in his grits all he wants but as Des will attest it's called cream of wheat in these parts.
ODB

Leave it to a Yankee to confuse grits with Cream of Wheat. No self-respecting southerner would be caught dead eating that crap! ODB, just be proud that Nelly is from St. Louis and leave the sports and everything else to us better qualified southerners. St. Louis does lead the nation in violent crime, so that is a badge of honor, I guess. I think 12 people were murdered in St. Louis in the time that it took me to type this. Don't worry ODB,there is hope for the Cardinals and the Rams. Phil Mickelson won The Master's yesterday so I guess hell is freezing over.

PS. I'll die before I EVER cheer for the Tennessee VolunQueers.

First of all, Bama, Detroit has overtaken St. Louis in the crime department. We are number two in the nation. It seems we forgot an important piece of Civil War history-the General that kicked the south's ***** had ties to the lou...Ulysses S. Grant and our 18th president. On other notes of interest....The world's largest brewery is where? St. Louis The world's largest stainless steel structure at 555 feet is where? St. Louis (the Gateway Arch). Not to mention that notables like Harry Caray, John Goodman, Chuck Berry, Tina Turner, etc. etc. were born there.
ODB
PS. I'm more of an oatmeal man myself.

ODB,
Since you are obviously a student of history, you know that ole Honest Abe's first choice for general wasn't Grant, but was who? Yeah, that's right Robert E. Lee. I guess it is cool having a second run be from your town. Anyway, we're over that War Of Northern Aggression.

Where's Des? I thought she would bring it. Guess she isn't the same caliber trash talker as you and I.

U. S. Grant may have been second choice but last time I checked it was Lee (who was not from Alabama but Virginia) surrendering to Grant at Appomattox Courthouse. It must be nice to have surrendered on his home turf. Don't worry about Des...she's silent but deadly.
ODB

Don't worry about Des...she's silent but deadly.
ODB

Hahaha!!! SBD!

Boy, Bama - it's pretty sad that your state sucks so bad you have to refer to times when you weren't even born yet to defend it. Besides, you can't even TOUCH having Nelly from your hometown. There's a reason why I've NEVER, in all my life, heard ANYONE say, "Yeah, we're takin a family vacation....we're gonna go to Alabama." Hmmmm....do I really need to say it again? GET OVER YOURSELF!!!!!!!!!!!!! :clap: :laugh: you love it, Bama.
At this point I'd just like to say that we will, at some point before September, have to join forces since we're moving to a completely new state together. You talk trash now, but you're going to have to be nice come rotations.
Good luck tomorrow everybody!!
D:)

Wow, I definitely cannot contribute to this conversation. Dont know much about history, St. Looey or the likes. Kansas pretty much sucks and has no claim to fame. Although I have to agree about the monkey comment made by Bama oh so sneekily!!!!

Welcome back Old Yeller! Good to see yo ol A&$ on here again!!!!!

Man, kind of took a beating on that ol exam today. Guess I really do need to know immuno to pass boards! Damn it!!!

Ok, well I guess better eat and get ready for butt kicking round 2

Peace

Doctordes,
Teaming up with Bama....I thought you were loyal to the Yankee cause. If you team with Bama, the ODB will be hurt, perturbed, and taken aback. Say it ain't so.....Doctordes a Southerner?!!! UGH!!!!! I thought this would never happen along with the Cubs winning a World Series, hell freezing over, Bama being an aromatherapy guru, and the ODB listening to country music.
ODB
PS. My world is crashing down before me. Doctordes, PLEASE, don't join the dark side.

ODB,
Des has always been on my side. She knows I like to engage in verbal jousting. We Ft. Myers folk stick together, most of us anyway ;) And to show you what you're up against, I would just like to say that President Bush rules!!! Take that you flaming Democrat, ODB.

Doctordes, tell me it ain't so. You teaming with Bama? :( :( :( :(
Bama, I'm the master of this game of human chess. First, Jimmy Carter and Lyndon Johnson (amongst two of the worst presidents in my opinion) were Southerners. These three Presidents historically rank among the worst: Grant, Harding, and Hoover. All of them you guessed it? Republicans! Second, a certain late comer is coming to Ft. Myers that will destroy you both! Bama-Checkmate!!!
ODB
PS.Wasn't Forrest Gump from Alabama?

Yeah ODB, but we were talking about our current president. What are your feelings toward Good Ole W.?

PS. Forrest Gump is fictional, but the guy who wrote the book was a UA grad.

Just calm down, ODB. Do I need to bring some rectal Diastat to class tomorrow to stop your seizure? You know, I must admit I'd never abandon a fellow midwesterner, but I'm clearly upset. What's this I hear about Democrat and disliking our W? I don't know about this. I travel thousands of miles to France this spring break to argue with Frenchies about our good president, only to return to the homeland for a fellow Missouri resident to be a Bush-Hater? It's not American to love WWE but hate our pres. What do you have to say for yourself, ODB? :mad: :thumbdown
So...after those tests today turns out I'm not so smart.
Try not to fight over me until my return you two. It's really just very stressful for me. :p :love:
D:)

Doctordes, I'm sorry to have offended you :o All I will say about the current President is that don't blame the ODB for these last four years-I voted for "Hollywood" Hulk Hogan and probably will again. The battle for our esteemed colleague(Doctordes) is FAR from over. And Bama, don't sing,bring it!!!
ODB
PS. Back to studying Neuroanatomy minutia.

Haha...ODB takes the bait. Exposed for the Bush-hating, flaming Dem that he is. Get him Des!!

You done it now, ODB. You may as well not even be a mid-westerner if you're gonna be all democrat about it!!
:mad:
I've gotta be honest with you, ODB - I really beginning to question your integrity. How could you? Nobody messes with my Bush and gets away with it...... :laugh: :laugh: Get it? Geez, what a bunch of pervs....I'm sittin here trying to talk politics and all you boys can think of is, well.....Bush.
EWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW!!!!!!!!!!! :scared:

:laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

Wow, things are getting pretty crazy around here....

Just think......Bush.......what about Du-cock-us???

I love neuro!!!!!!! :thumbdown :thumbdown :meanie:

Hey ODB...this is what you get for bashing the president. Revenge of your twin. :meanie:

CLICK ON THE LINK TO SEE HIS AUDITION TAPE....ODB are you SURE you haven't been to any Ricky Martin concerts lately?

You're just jealous that you don't have a cool twin like me. I hope you found the Final exam today to be better than I did. Hopefully, I got lucky with my guesses. :luck: I guess if i failed theirs always American Idol... She Bangs, She bangs!!!
ODB

Hey everybody! We were slippin' off the page so I had to bring it up.

I woke up this morning with a huge cervical lymph node. It is really tender and then I discovered that there was a contiguous node enlarged just below it. I don't have a cold, sinusitis or an infection anywhere that I know of. Am I going to die?? What if I have Hodgkin's?? Or NHL??I can hardly turn my neck it hurts so much. Somebody help me!!!!

tooth problem?? i thought that large nodes were typically a sign of bacterial infections, and the smaller, but still swollen were signs of viral infections?? im the lowest of the lowly (pre-ms1) so i dont know n e thing yet... hehehe hey maybe you are gonna die... if so can i have your stereo??? hehehehehe

Hey Bama,
I would say it's highly likely that it's a Pancoast's Tumor. Nothin like a little sympathetic chain ganglia lesion to piss you off around board time, huh? I thought I noticed you sweating a bit the other day....could it be.....the dreaded Horny, I mean Horner's syndrome? That's my diagnosis. That or T-cell proliferation secondary to waverunner excitement.
WOOOO HOOOOO! Bama, I say we head up to the Fort about a MONTH early and waverun EVERYDAY!!!
D:)

Bama,
I have a sure fire cure to get rid of the swollen lymph node. I'll have Kelly give you some "lymphatic treatments." :D
ODB

Let me be the first to officially rename this thread Kansas City University of Medicine and Biosciences Class of 2006. This change is to reflect our thread's energy and a more dynamic posture.

K cumb. I just love the way that that sounds. Isn't "UMB bank" in KC also? Wouldn' that be the original KCUMB.

I'll be honest. I'm not happy w/ the change. Why couldn't it just have been named the Kansas City College of Osteopathic Medicine and Biosciences?

We will now be the only DO school without "Osteopathic" in the name. :(

I'm bummed. I can't wait to explain to ppl after I graduate how it is that I have a DO degree from a non-DO school. :(

Oh well, I have bigger fish to fry right now and for the next months. Good luck studying everyone! :luck:

Signed,
Identity Crisis Mary :scared:

Yeah I agree with Mary. The new name of our school is very homosexual. Why couldn't it have been Kansas City School of Medicine??? That would make more sense to me.

Boy sure am loving this section. I think I now need about 30 hours in the day just to get the crap done.

Bama, so NHL......I didnt think Southerns played hockey?? I guess if Jamaica can have a bobsled team.......anything is possible.

Well Scrubs is on in like 10 min so I have to get going........all new episode tonight. I think I will start applying for the janitorial sciences so I can be cool like the janitor on Scrubs!!!!!

Peace

Chris,
I think the Integrative Section is getting to you. We do play a little hockey in the South, but in this instance I was referring to NHL as Non-Hodgkin's lymphoma. I like the new name. I think it has energy and a more dynamic posture.

Hey people,

as far as I know they changed the name of the university, not the college.

Bama--
Samsonite....I was way off! "You got Dr. Chlorophyll up there talking about who knows what......Chlorophyll, more like Borophyll!"

I can't believe it.....the ODB and Bama agree on something!!! I called the devil, strangly its 32 degrees down there so the only thing missing from this trifecta of unbelievables is the ODB studying anatomy minutia (which strangly enough happened today as well). The Earth must not be on the right axis or something! I like the new name as well. Although rumor has it that the name that was not chosen by the Board of Trustees was the ODB's School of Manipulative Medicine.
ODB

We were the last ones on the page, guys! Do I have to do EVEYTHING around here?! Just kidding. Well, off to the anatomy lab to pick through guts, penises, and vaginas. Then lunch....yummy.
Des:)

Well we regressed again. Man anyone else getting a little nervous??? Hope everyone totally sucks on this quiz since we basically have boards on Monday. Haven't been thru all the material yet. and we still are getting azz pounded!!

OK, enough......back to First Aid!

-C

Man, I have just been studying for Boards. I totally forgot we had a stupid quiz on Monday. I hope they ask us Board-relevant questions and not the typical nit-picky UHS questions. Oh well, just have to pass....

Don't worry Bama, there will be more minutia on this quiz than an anatomy lab practical! ODB's new slogan for the Intergrative section- Thank God I took Kaplan.
Disco Dave
PS. Doctordes hasn't posted in awhile...she must really be digging around some Buck's fascia in anatomy lab.

Boards Studying Sucks!!!!!!!

Boards, Smoards!!
I've decided instead of going through this terrible process of board studying that I am going to retire from medicine and race Waverunners professionally. I think that would be cool. Traveling to exotic tropical locations and letting other racers suck my jetstream! (I know what you are thinking Des, Geez get your mind out of the gutter)

Bama,
You don't have anything to worry about-you're the path guru-you'll rock the boards. You're right about Doctordes, she needs to keep her mind out of the gutter. I've unfortunately been slackin' these last two days. Don't forget we have boards, "quiz", on Monday.
ODB
PS. Bama, Kelly says HI.

Are we done with integrative yet?! I can't wait until our last week of class is over....I'm so bringing cookies on Friday. ODB, if you promise to run an extra mile you may have one.:)
Tutoring anatomy has taken over my life lately! I'm so glad to be done with it now.
Well, off to study some path....
Bama, let's get on path this week.
Des:)

So ready to be done with Integrative. Dr. Ivan is pretty cool. I am learning path which is definitely a plus. Still have lots of work to do though. Anyhow....only one more test and we are done with our second year (granted we pass boards; which we will). Doesn't seem like we began this adventure very long ago.

Man.....ok off to dead stuff!

Chris

Day in the life of the ODB:
1. Going to class
2. Studying for boards
3. Exercising
4. Eating/sleeping
5. Throwing drunk vagabonds out of my apartment
How are you guys doing?

ODB,
What's this nonsense? Did Bob try to make a bootie call again after a long night of bingeing? What drunk vagabond came over....I'm assuming it's not a girl (you would never be so lucky). :eek: :love:
Next time I pass you on the highway, could you please not flash me; for the sake of other drivers it's just safer that way.
Control yourself, David. Seriously.
Des:)

Doctordes,
Nonsense?! I actually had a drunken bum stroll in my apartment. I could have been killed...I guess the well being of the ODB means nothing to you :(. NO love from Doctordes. You're just jealous... the ODB is getting buffed and you're not getting the stuff. You know I have no self control.
ODB

Man it sure seems weird that we are officially done with med school, outside of summer school. Didn't think that this day would ever get here.

Now it is time to be a slave to the grind and learn some stuff for D-day. Got exactly 30 days from Monday. Time is tickin'

Chris

Dude!!! What are you guys doing?!???!!!?!! Don't let our school's thread get on the second page! Do, I have to do all the work around here? j/k :D
Seriously, hope that you guys are doing ok and still have your sanity. Hang in there bros and sis'!

Neuroanatomy is kinda hard!!!!!!!!!!
Bama, I can't believe you; of course I'll make you cookies soon.

Keep up the pace, everybody!
Des:)

Hey are we 3rd years now?

that is a good question Mary. But I am not going to call myself a third year until after I pass my boards. Also, we still have summer school, so assuming we are still second years there too.

Hell I don't know.......back to neuro!

What up my Board-studying homies? I spent nearly an hour constructing an hour by hour study schedule this morning. It goes all the way up to my USMLE on June 2nd. I need that level of discipline since I tend to be a slacker. I took the online NBME Self-Assessment yesterday. It costs $45, but it is WELL worth it. It has allowed me to tailor my studying to my current weaknesses and also gave me an idea where I would score if I took the USMLE today(Thank goodness I'm not!) I highly recommend it especially if you are taking the USMLE, since it is written by the same folks and very similar questions have been known to show up on the real deal. I am going to take the 2nd one about 3 or 4 days before the USMLE. Anyway, my 2$ (yeah, that's dollars, I overbill)

Des, what's up with the Path review? We've been slacking. Time to get on it, girl. That Wegener's isn't going to study itself. :)

I know, Bama! Thanks for the advice; I was debating whether or not to take that test. We need to do path, I know - I'll give you a call this week and we'll "get it on."
He he he.
Okay, well I miss seeing you all at class, hope everyone is being productive in studying.
Des:)

The ODB is getting very discouraged especially after getting the results of my Kaplan mock Comlex today :scared: . Any pointers from my fellow SDNers. Good luck studying!
ODB
PS. Doctordes, MJ is right that Wegener's isn't going to study itself.
