I wonder how long they changed the name from UHS to KCUMB, I was bored this summer since I'm off of my preceptorship for the day...and I found this. I bet they changed the name already last year...weird...that was Nov. 2003 and they had that name change for the school.

Wow that is crazy! So I guess our name has been changed for quite some time now.

Well hope boards studying is going well for you all. I have been told by a fellow SDNer, that I will score the lowest in my class. So I guess I can just quit studying. It was very nice of him. You can view his post under USMLE/COMLEX I-III, Last year's comlex questions if you would like. He seems like such a smart and nice individual.

Anyway, I guess off to the beach..........

Don't worry Chris. I posted a reply to that idiot's post. I hope he says something back. I love verbal jousting with unarmed combatants. Board studying has me so pissed I would love a good fight right about now. How's someone from LECOM gonna talk smack about Boards?? That's like ODB talking smack when he scored that touchdown. J/K ODB :)

What did this clown from LECOM say? And by the way, I scored TWO touchdowns this year. If you want a good fight, Bama, you know where I live...it's a slow walk back to the ninth floor.
a fired up ODB

ODB,
Don't let yo' mouf' writes checks yo' butt can't cash. I forgot about that 2nd touchdown. Get back to studying that Sarcoidosis, boy! I took the night off to watch my Lakers DESTROY the Timberwolves. Shaq-Daddy rang em' up for 27 and 18. You can't stop the Diesel! He's from the SEC. Nuff said.

11 days until me and the USMLE Get-It-On, Woo-EE!! Your gonna die clown!!(USMLE).......ok,ok studying for Boards for 10 hours a day has made me a little crazy. I have mentally turned the USMLE into a person who is my mortal enemy. On the June the 2nd we will fight to the death and the streets of Montgomery, AL will run red with the USMLE's blood. I know that I have a psychiatric condition, but I don't know which one because I haven't study BS yet. :)

What's this about someone talking smak to Chris??? Who does this punk think he is? Aight, boys (DrChris, ODB, Bama) let's get it on!

Thanks for your backing obecalp. Who are you by the way??

Well physiology is almost knocked out....gi and endo to go. Then on the the "little critters".

Hope everyone is having fun!!!!

Peace out!

Please see my post in the thread "KCUMB class of 2007". I'm not trying to cause trouble, just trying to give you a heads' up!

Little late for those of us in the Class of 2006. We couldn't change our rotations sites if we wanted to. Luckily, I'm going to the Sunshine State for my rotations :) Right, Des?

Is it August yet? I had a dream I was lying on the beach then hopped on some hot guy's waverunner and sped off............................................... ...

Doctordes,
I don't have a waverunner ;) . These boards are really getting me down... for some reason I don't think that a 44% on the Kaplan Comlex will get the job done.
ODB

What's wrong with you people? I get on SDN to see what's happening with my peeps and I have to scroll to find our page at the bottom of page 2. Come on, get in the game!! You act like we have a test coming up or something......I survived USMLE Step 1 yesterday. I felt okay about it. The only thing I wish I'd spent more time on was anatomy. I had about 25 total I would guess. Most of them were pretty easy but I missed some stupid ones because I pretty much punted anatomy. At least 2 or 3 brachial plexus questions. The neuro was pretty basic even though I tanked on a couple. The one MRI I had sucked really bad and I even had an EM! Hopefully the anatomy won't hurt me too badly. There were a lot of graphs which tend to give me migraines, but I guess I survived it. First Aid is money for pharm. Know that mug like the back of your hand and you will rock on the pharm questions. BRS Path is also money. Biochem was pretty straightforward, Kaplan Biochem was awesome for that stuff. Genetics probably kicked my butt.

I finally got to ride my Waverunner today. Me and my nephews took it down to the river and opened it up. I got it up to 58 mph, but that was with a nephew on the back. If I was on it by myself I'm sure I could have hit 60-65. It is pretty sweet though. I don't think the dudes who were in the B.A.S.S. fishing tournament liked me buzzing around while they were trying to fish, but oh well they'll get over it. :) I mean come on, they are freaking professional bass fishermen. Well, guess I better go pack for my return to KC tomorrow. Holla'.

Bama--
Glad to hear you survived the big dude. I realize I haven't been doing my part in keeping us on the page. I apologize 'bout that. Just figured no one was on and I would be the only one posting so I just said 'whateva.

Hold on guys.....only four days to go!!! Yikes......

I think my panic button is broken from pushing it so much!

Holla back yo

To my brothers and sisters who are taking the COMLEX tomorrow: GOOD LUCK!!! I'm sure you guys will rock the exam. In the words of an old Korean proverb: "May all your wrong answers be of the experimental type." jp

Thanks JP for the good luck. After taking the USMLE today I'll need all the luck I can get! Now I know why our allopathic counterparts call it the USMILE because its pretty rough. Now I know why Wash U is ranked the number one med school in the country. When I see one of their students I guess i'll have to bow to them and exclaim I'm not worthy. I didn't want that residency at Barnes anyway.
A distraught ODB

Wow...awfully quiet in here.

Yeah JP unlike in classroom b the last 2 days. See my thread titled "if you have a really bad cough" under the usmle/comlex thread.

Can't believe this test has come and gone!!! weeeeeeeeee... :D :D :D

bring on the usmle!

People scoffed at my three day test taking marathon but I'm done!!! I wish my UHS brethren who still have to take the USMLE good luck :luck:. MJ, how's the Gulf? See you guys Tuesday.
ODB-the med student formerly known as Disco Dave

Hey guys...
Haven't posted for a while, so I thought I should do my part. Started class today....had DMac, and Med Spanish, I mean Espanol. Then played frisbee golf with Goodin and Sramek. It was kind of weird not to have to go straight to 164 in phys rooms and read read read!

Good luck to all y'all taking the U-smile this week. I am so glad I am not taking that one!!!

Peace

-C

ODB,
The Gulf was awesome! We got up at 4 and we were catching bait fish by 6. We went about 50 miles out in the Gulf. We were on the water for 12 hours, but I could have stayed longer. They had to drag me to the car Friday night because I didn't want to leave. I will show you what I caught tomorrow. Let's just say that you won't see anything like it in Missouri.

I am so glad to be done with COMLEX and USMLE. Now we have to sit back and wait for the good news (eternal optimist). Does anyone know when we are supposed to get our rotation schedules. I would like to know what my life is going to be like for the next year. I mean besides kickin' by the beach and chillin' in the Gulf. :)

SUMMER SCHOOL SUCKS!!! I say we just stop going.....who's with me?

...I can't take it anymore...between ODB licking his face in front of me and Grant's seizures, I may not make it six more weeks...By the way, are we in Ft. Myers yet?

Des:)

I'm with ya Des!!!!! Let's just pretend to go to class, but just go bar hopping everyday......what do ya say??????

:thumbup: :meanie: :meanie:

New summer schedule.....
Tuesday-class meetings take place at Harpo's for quarter draws
Wednesday-class meetings take place at Kona grill for Happy Hour and studies will continue into reverse Happy Hour
Thursday-class meetings to be announced
Class objectives: To really discover this biochemical process known as alcoholic fermentation. To do research into the social development of medical students getting ready for the wards. To have FUN!!!!
Professor: the ODB
Assignments: as dictated by said professor but extra credit can be earned by buying the said professor drinks.
Unfortunately, back to the grind Tuesday
ODB
PS. Doctordes, not only will I be back in the grind Tuesday but so will my tongue. UMMMM!!!!! :p

ODB,

1. Have you tried to cut down on your drinking?
2. Do you get annoyed when people ask you about your drinking?
3. Do you feel guilty when you drink?
4. Do you need an 'eye-opener' to get going in the morning?

Your persistent nose-licking may be the first signs of hepatic encephalopathy. You do seem to have some degree of asterixis as well as some cognitive clouding indicative of alcoholic cirrhosis. How 'bout laying off the gin and tonics for a whle you big Lush.

I know this is summer and I shouldn't be thinking about this, but I was thinking of buying my neuro books now? Does anyone have any suggestions to what is recommended or helped you the most last year? I wanted to get them now while I still have some sort of money in the bank before I go on vacation?

Hi Yield Neuroanatomy--by Fix

Your Netter's.

Those are what I used. Stevens supplies a series of handouts, which is like a text in itself.

Maybe others will suggest additional resources other than these.

Required items for surviving Neuro:

1. The Bible
2. voodoo doll (preferably like Joeboo from Major League)
3. lucky rabbit's foot
4. 4 leaf clover
5. live sacrifice
and last but not least....
6. naked pictures of Dr. Stephens and unidentified student to use as blackmail

My cognition is clear and my balance is good......................................... Uh sorry about the pause I just fell out of chair.

Dr Chris, Dr Chris....paging Dr. Chris to the sdn STAT.

Dr Chris, Dr Chris....paging Dr. Chris to the sdn STAT.

We don't need Dr.Chris, I'm on call for SDN tonight. Stop trying to usurp my authority, Mary.

ODB, admitting you have a problem is the first step.

So sorry Dr. Chris is not available.
Look - I don't think I'm supposed to be divulging this information across the web, but I can't go on pretending like I don't know Chris's whereabouts and the reason for them. The truth is, Chris hasn't been on SDN for some time now due to his recovering from a recent surgery. I know what you all are thinking: "Oh, no biggie, it must be that vasectomy procedure he's been eager to do for months." On the contrary, my friends. Quite the contrary.
Chris is beginning the synthetic change of becoming a woman and he is in the first stages. This week he underwent bilateral breast implants but has been taking horse estrogen for quite some time.
I'm sure he'll still be the Chris we know and love, and will be able to answer any neuro questions when he is feeling up to it.
.....ok, so I can't back that up..................... :laugh:

Hey Chris,
Who's doing your gender reassignment work? Is it the same guy who did Des' work. She used to be a pretty big dude. It was amazing work. Now she only has to worry about shaving a couple times a day and having her back waxed once a week. I think I would be a hot chick. If you become a woman can you make out with yourself? I guess there are no easy answers in life.

Here is a pic of Des about midway through the process. She sure has come a long way.......

Bama,
I'd keep the barbs about Doctordes to a minimum....she's got corn in her stool tougher than you, buddy. I know from experience....I don't have this glass eye by choice. Doctordes when she was a big dude was known as Nailz in the Kansas State Pen. Fear her. :scared:

ODB,
2 questions:
1. How does it feel to be a woman trapped in a man's body?
2. How do you know what Des has in her stools?

Everyone knows how you actually went blind. Didn't your mom ever tell you that would happen if you did that too much?

OK, so apparently I skipped over a few posts about my whereabouts. I am really upset by this because I wanted it to be a surprise to everyone when the metamorph was complete! So thanks to Dr. Des, my secret is out and all now know the true nature of my being.

I just want you all to know that I will be one sexy chick when this is all said and done. I may even surpass the shear beauty of the Polish Princess aka The Dez, so she better watch out cause "I feel like the prettiest girl in the whole development"

I thought I better post since I know Bama is studying hard for tomorrow's quiz and can't be bothered. And Bama, Doctordes cut out my eyeball and ate it as sushi, she said the sushi at Kona was getting too bland....that is how I became blind. I don't think DrChristine69 (the med student formerly known as Drchris33) could surpass the shear beauty of the Polish Princess.
ODB
PS. The ODB Tidbit for the Day: Don't pound on the desk during class if you have a soda nearby...it makes a mess.

Careful ODB, if you get any closer to Des' butt you might just fall in!

That was mean, jerk. :thumbdown

Bama,
In case you haven't figured it out, Doctordes has total control of SDN and when she takes control of the world,yes, the world... don't come crying to the ODB when she destroys your beloved state of Alabama and puts a deep freeze on the Gulf of Mexico. Somewhere in CT, I can here Des doing her take over the world laugh.

ODB's Tip of the Day: Quiz grade of 25 %=pass of Medical Decision making.

ODB,
I have previously addressed your drinking problem. I think it is time we discussed 2 additional issues.
1. Your obvious crack habit
2. Your newly obtained stalker status
I know that you are from St. Louis and everything, but do you think you could spread out the vices a little. I mean you're gonna burn out dude. Why not just focus on being a crackhead for now and in a couple of years you could take up the stalking. I'm afraid if you start stalking Des now your crazy crack rants are going to suffer and then what would I read for entertainment? I mean, who will tell me that Hulk Hogan is going to be the next president? Or that Albert Pujols is better than Barry Bonds?

Hey Des,
Get over it! Don't mess with me girl, I'll throw you to the sharks. :meanie:

Hey, I say that Bama and the ODB duke it out, bare fists and all. I personally don't think that Bama has a chance. Des and I saw the new and improved ODB take his shirt off and flex for us in the central line lab today. It was quite impressive. Just wax the old chassis and you'll be set bro...

:eek:

Hey Bama - if you have anything else you'd like to say, see me tomorrow.
ODB was the perfect physical specimen today in lab. I just wish we would have been able to put a real central line in, that's all. ODB, why aren't you more of a team player? I think to make it more realistic, ODB should have taken his pantalones off, too.
ACLS tomorrow! See you there!
D:)

Things are gettin' a bit rowdy up in here.....I think we all need a little Prozac and then everything will be great!

The new and improved ODB...good job Dave.....keep it up; lookin good......in a non-homosexual kind of way of course.....
But then again, since I am going over to the other side, maybe I will be paying a little more attention to the Ol' Dirty One!! :love: :love:

HAH! I've swatted Alabama mosquitoes bigger than the ODB. He'd be better off sending his stalkee Des to do his dirty work. At least then I'd have to get out of my chair (albeit for a brief moment).

Ask not what your country can do for you, read my lips, the only thing we have to fear is fear itself, Mr. Gorbachev tear down this wall, we're gonna smoke em' out of their holes and get them on the run and speak softly and carry a big stick. That should clear up this situation.

I know the identity of the perp. but out of respect for their family I cannot reveal their identity. Unless someone were to give me a sweet deal, then I would rat them out like there was no tomorrow.

What's up guys? Can't let our school's thread go to the second page. Must...keep...posting...

Dr Chris, sorry to get back to this SDN so late, I was in Florida...anyway, I checked my PM and it said no new messages?
How's the summer session classes going? Is it easy? or tough?

The ODB thought he would post. To all my SDNers out there a belated happy Fourth of July. To all fellow baseball fans out their how 'bout them birds.... three starters in the All-Star game and a four game lead over the Cubs. To all the Cubs fans out there... I guess there is always next year.(Although the Cubs have been saying that since Roosevelt was in the White House...Theodore Roosevelt that is.)

ODB,
History is being made in this year's All-Star game and all you can talk about is the Cardinals. What about the ENTIRE NL outfield being members of the 500 home run club? That is the real story. What about Mr. Bonds, the greatest player of all time, as he makes his march towards the Great Bambino? I'll give your Cardinals credit they are doing pretty well, but they don't give pennants in July my friend. This year's Cardinals could be last year's Royals.(Oh no he didn't!!) What am I talking about? Everyone is just waiting until the end of August when College football season starts anyway. My preseason #1, The Georgia Bulldogs. They have an awesome QB, a tremendous D line and the best head coach/defensive coordinator combo in the country.(Hard to believe they are one of my rival schools, huh?) Check back here in late December to congratulate me on my tremendous football prognosticating skills.

On a completely unrelated note, if I don't get my USMLE scores this Wednesday I am going to choke someone! And I don't mean that figuratively, I will find someone and apply posterior cricoid pressure until they cease to be.
Sorry, the suspense is getting to me.....

I guess we'll all try to stay out of your arm's reach then...I was in the registrar's office today and they said no scores were posted this Wednesday...bummer. I guess you'll have to wait one more week! Good luck when you hear the results though. I'm sure you did great!

Waaahhhhh!! Is that a stinky diaper I smell? I will help you, all you gotta do is ask. See, you are axing the wrong people. I fixed President Dawson's Palm just the other day. But I do charge 1 million dollars an hour, or free food (cookies) whichever you have handy. :) Call my secretary, she'll set it up.

Supposed to be in Medical Jurisdiction right now. Just thought I would see if I am the only naughty one here.

Everybody just CALM DOWN!! Des' Palm Pilot situation has been corrected. It is working properly now. I know that this has been a source of despair and consternation (look it up, ODB) for everyone on this board. The above quote is tough to read, but I think it shows someone crying out for help. It has been a rough couple of days for all involved, I know. The Palm just needed a little TLC. Des has been quite verbally abusive towards her Palm so we had to work through some trust issues with it, but everything is okay now. Des has learned not to project her problems onto the Palm and that calling it "a worthless piece of crap" is very hurtful and causes the Palm to question its self-worth. The Palm has learned that withholding Sync is not the proper way to deal with its anger towards Des. I think with a little time they will both be able to function together properly and have a normal home life. Thanks, of course, to the Palm Pilot Pimp!!

Hey Mary, what does your signature mean? With whom are you tired of fighting? Are you also having problems with your Palm?

From the beck song...tired of fighting for a lost cause....that song was going thru my head the other day. :thumbup:

Everybody just CALM DOWN!! Des' Palm Pilot situation has been corrected. It is working properly now. I know that this has been a source of despair and consternation (look it up, ODB) for everyone on this board. The above quote is tough to read, but I think it shows someone crying out for help. It has been a rough couple of days for all involved, I know. The Palm just needed a little TLC. Des has been quite verbally abusive towards her Palm so we had to work through some trust issues with it, but everything is okay now. Des has learned not to project her problems onto the Palm and that calling it "a worthless piece of crap" is very hurtful and causes the Palm to question its self-worth. The Palm has learned that withholding Sync is not the proper way to deal with its anger towards Des. I think with a little time they will both be able to function together properly and have a normal home life. Thanks, of course, to the Palm Pilot Pimp!!

Hey Mary, what does your signature mean? With whom are you tired of fighting? Are you also having problems with your Palm?
Hey Bama,
I'm vastly surprised people in 'bama use big words like consternation. You sound like Dr. Phil-maybe you should go into psychiatry. Based on my board scores...I think I'm relegated to FP, oh wait, you actually have to pass your boards to do that one. I got a plan :idea: How 'bout rodeo clown school? Hey James, How 'bout them Cubs a cool ten spot below the Cards...what's that I hear? Sounds like a big toilet flushing the hopes of all Cub fans.
ODB

Dang You, Odb!!! Dang You!!! : (

I wanna give a cyber high five to the ODB. He did a good job on his endocrine case! Not sure if he smoked some Endo to do that good of job, but keep it up Ol' Dirty One!!

Who cares about the cards and cubs?? They both suck at soccer.....

ODB,
You say what you want about me, but I'll be damned if I'm going sit here and let you trash the United States of America. (Hums America The Beautiful as he stands up and walks out.)

I think my fave Chris email was "Where in the Hell is that and what does it do?" :)

Well fellow classmates, tomorrow is the big day......the day we have all been waiting for!!!!! I cannot believe it is here already...man the last two years has flown by.

I am gonna miss you guys next year. Everyone better find time to keep the ol thread going.

I am also sad to say that I won't be graduating with you guys. I was accepted for the OPP Fellowship position for 2005-2006! While that is exciting, I am sad that I can't walk with you all. You guys have been great. Each and every one of you will make great docs.....we have a great group!

Well enough of the mushy crap. Just keep in touch!!!!!

Peace

Don't worry, Chris, cuz I'll graduate with ya! Congrats on getting the OPP fellowship, bro! Yeah, I was getting kinda sad as I was sitting there listening to Oleklaus talking about small bowel obstruction. This was the last lecture that I'll get to sit with you guys. We've come a long way. Wish that I could go with you guys to the next phase...

Who misses me already? Show of hands......anyone,.... Bueller.... Bueller.......

I interviewed on Jan 23rd and found out yesterday that I was accepted!! I feel as if I am not treading water anymore in the sea of life. I am on the road to becoming a doc!!!

I am so pumped for the upcoming years ahead!!

Congrats to everyone else in the class of 2006!!

Chris

I thought I would revive the very first post from our thread. It brings back a lot of memories. Man, were we so GAY back then!!! We were so clueless!! No one remembers my UHS Class of 2006 thread that I started before Chris' took over. That's okay, I'm not bitter.(angrily slams his fist into the desk and looks to the sky,'Why God, Why?') I look at the incoming 1st years and I feel so sorry for them. Like lambs to the slaughter. Oh well, it has been a fun couple of years. It is time for us to stand around and look stupid for a year! Hooray for the scutmonkeys!!

Good luck everyone. I know you will all be great docs....except for you ODB, you're gonna kill somebody!! :laugh: ....Just kidding, you are going to make an awesome geriatric gynecologist. :love:

i'm getting tired of all this goodbye propaganda. :rolleyes: :(

i'm getting tired of all this goodbye propaganda. :rolleyes: :(
Dr.Mary C How 'bout one more? It is hard to believe that two years have come and gone! DrChris and Obecalp (How 'bout them Cubs) you guys will do us proud when "you strut that aisle" come 2007! Hopefully, we can keep in touch and keep this thread going. From being informative (DrMaryC and Dr.Chris in my Early UHS pre-kcumb days) to the sheer antagonizing of Bama and Doctordes-you guys have been helpful to me and I have enjoyed sharing medical school and having fun with you. Wherever you go-Good luck!
Hopefully this is not goodbye but fare(fair)well.

DANG YOU, ODB!!! DANG YOU!!! :mad: :mad: :mad:
The Cubs will rise again!

Well guys--
Board scores are in. I am sure everyone that reads this board has passed! Congrats to all!! It was a good feeling to get that letter in the mail today, knowing that I don't have to re-study all the basic science crap.

How is everyone doing?? Hopefully the break is good. I got to do some surgery the last few days. Did a Burch procedure on Friday and a hysterectomy today. Very cool!! I had my entire right hand in this woman's abdomen today, scanning her omentum and felt her liver as well. Pretty neat....also got so sew up some fascia and drive the colonoscopy camera. I will be doing a two week family med rotation during the last two weeks of August, so hopefully I will look a little less idiotic on my first day!

Good luck to all and keep us updated!!!!!!!!

Peace

Anyone use BRS Neuro last year vs. HY Neuro?

Nearly everyone in our class used High Yield Neuro. It is a pretty good book. I haven't heard much about BRS. I personally used neither. I used the "required" textbook and Clinical Neuroanatomy Made Ridiculously Simple.

well, hey guys its me (hugh) you know....your classmate that was banished to the nether regions of northern ohio. well i had to call to see if i passed or not and :eek: ......i passed. i am gonna be back in dixie for the month of august so i guess i'll have to wait to see my score. honestly, i dont really care what i made. i am like chris, i am just glad i dont have to study that crap all over again. well good luck to everyone. holla

Congrats Hugh!! Feels great doesn't it??

I really liked Crossman for Neuro. I used it a lot. It has real pics, drawings and a chapter summary at the end of each chapter. It is a thin, purple book over in the bookstore. I am keeping mine for rotations just in case! I actually also used Clinical Neuro Made Rid Simple and BRS for Neuro. I did use High Yield Neuro for boards and thought it was a great book too!

So really....all of them are good, just depends on what you are looking for!

Chris

Hey everybody! How's your break going? What are you all up to?

Hey everybody! How's your break going? What are you all up to?......Sorry Des, I HAD to mock you. It has been about a week since I have properly harrassed you and I am going into withdrawals. Hey, I got a new car. Yep, I traded my Jetta in on a Chevy Trailblazer. I gotta have something to pull the WaveRunner, don't I? :) Oh yeah, it is on like Donkey Kong now. About a week and i'll be tearing it up in the Gulf. Yeah, I did it. JEALOUS???

Hey all,
I thought that there might be some KCUMB-COM students using this forum while on the road 3rd and 4th year. Seems like almost everyone is at least happy to have their COMLEX scores, good, bad or indifferent.
Hugh, take care on that ride to OHIO. Don't veer into oncoming traffic!

James

BANISHED?!?! What up, Hugh?? Come on, it won't be that bad! I want you guys to come up in September, OK? Did you move yet? How is it? We move into our new place tomorrow.

I'm so freaking bored. However, I know I should enjoy the time off, since we really won't have this kind of time off again. :(

Hi James...I'll be sure to post my experiences if you will! Good luck!

james, yeah i made it to ohio in one piece. it sucked driving a 24 ft uhaul almost 900 miles, but i didnt hit anything but a wooden fence backing out of my drive way to return the truck. anyway i am planning to enjoy my time here in mississippi while i can. ohio doesnt seem that bad but it is going to take some getting used to. just interested...........does anyone know what our pass rate for the comlex was? take it easy everyone.

I spoke to some faculty at school today and we had 12 students fail out of the 222. I also heard that one of our faculty went to the meetings on scoring this year and they made the tests harder than in the past. Therefore, our pass rate was not as strong as the class before us, but relative to everyone else in the country we did about the same.

Glad to hear you made it over there to OH alright. Enjoy the Delta and keep in touch.

JAMESY!! Let's go eat pho. I want some spring rolls, too.
Bama, way to call me and talk smack...but oh, what is that I hear? ODB sold my Netter's cards to a smart customer who bought mine over yours? Hmmm. No comment necessary, I know your JEALOUS! And my one leg can go ALL NIGHT LONG.
Hugh, did you ever buy the puppy?
I'm busy being the "filer" at the neuro center I've worked at before. It's not great fun, but I'm getting paid for $$ to move, so that helps. No break for me, though which sucks.

Miss you all and talk to you soon!
DES:)

ODB is back in the HOUSE!!!!! Des and MJ, I have a potential book suitor looking at some books at 1:00. James, how 'bout them Cards-10.5 games up on the Cubs and Larry Walker! I guess you have next year....and the next year....and the next year etc. Keep us posted on how rotations go.

What up y'all.........
Hope all is well. Went up to Nebraska this weekend, hangin out with my kiddos and brother. Had a lot of fun.
I start my two week Family Practice rotation a week from tomorrow, so definitely looking forward to that. Already done a Burtch procedure and a Hysterectomy.
During the hyster, the woman had adhesions. After the doc freed them up, he had me put my whole hand inside this woman's abdomen!!! I was sweeping her omentum with my palm and I felt her liver with the back of my hand! Very cool!!! Also got to sew up the fascia layer in both cases. So been fun so far.

Well better get to bed! Later

OK, who were the toolboxes that got "HONORS" in medical decision making?! :rolleyes:

Anyone else here forgetting that they actually attend med school?

Hey, I don't appreciate being called a toolbox! J/k, I wasn't even close to making honors, but I bet I can name one of the four....paging Student Doctor Stearns, Student Doctor Stearns to the SDN STAT.....

Hey Des, I guess I had the last laugh since the ODB sold my flashcards for $35. Booyah, in yo' face! That's what happens when you try and undersell me. I'm like The Donald, I'm starting an Empire. Buhhhaha....

I was wondering if anyone on SDN ever has seen/ used Slice of Life Year 2, which is on a CD?

Also, forgot to ask, what are all those neuro videos for from Dr. Stephens?

I was wondering if anyone on SDN ever has seen/ used Slice of Life Year 2, which is on a CD, not the laser disc version, but a version where someone creative made jpegs of all the slides on ERF's notes or used a digital camera to take those pictures. I was given Slice of Life Year one by my big brother, but I'm just curious if there is a SOL Yr 2? If its out there, can I pay someone to burn it /or I have old morning reports to trade from my preceptorship over the summer in IM from MCI?

Supposedly, the folks at University of Utah came out with a new version of SOL this past year. I don't know if that is what you are talking about. Personally, I find SOL pretty low yield. I have used it many times, but I feel that WebPath and a really good Histopath atlas are all that you really need to do well on Erf's tests. Contrary to popular belief his pics are of pretty basic stuff. Now his bonus questions are a different story.

Also, forgot to ask, what are all those neuro videos for from Dr. Stephens? We started today and got our notes, but are they required to watch or optional?

Good question.

My head was up my ***** the first four weeks of neuro and neuroanatomy flew right over my head. The videos came in handy to rescue me before the practical. They were not required at the time. Good luck :luck: and enjoy the ride. Also, I heard that Dr. Stephens is the proud owner of a nice new vehicle. Does anyone have any details?

Hey Mary,
Doin' ok. Finished the first week of neuro - 9 more weeks to go. It isn't so bad yet...just alot of anatomy. It's wierd not seeing all of you guys in Richie anymore. Who are these kids???

I dont' know if I could stand being in that room with a bunch of strangers. But you only have to do it thru december, right? Are you still sitting in the same seat? Is 2007 a lot different that us?

I got my first rotation info; it's family medicine in a suburb that will be about a 1/2 hour drive. I'm excited!

Hey,
Guess who decided to move to Fort Myers on the exact same weekend that the first Category 3 hurricane has hit Fort Myers in 60 years? That's right, ME! I was supposed to move in today, but of course everything is locked down. I am not even sure if I can move in tomorrow since there will be massive power outages and storm surge up to 12 feet. For all I know my apartment might be floating in the Atlantic by 7 P.M. tonight. I usually like hurricanes, but this one is pissing me off! Damn you Charley!!!!!!

Wow dude....you picked a great weekend to move. OOps forgot about the hurricane factor, huh?

I hope your apt complex survives, after all I need a place to stay when I visit!!!

DEWD.... so like, how are you connected to the net?? :confused:

hehe anyways, you like water right? :D

Because I am still in Alabama. I'm not moving until next Friday now. Maybe they will have it cleaned up by then and fish my apartment out of the Gulf.

Hey Bama,
Sucks to hear that you're not able to move in to Ft. Myers. If it helps, I'll do my patented curse. I'm not too sure if it actually works, but at least its cathartic: DANG YOU, CHARLEY!!! DANG YOU!!! (with both fists pumping in the air) :meanie: :meanie: :meanie: Hope it helps. Keep all of us posted, and stay safe.

Oh, is anybody else from our class actually down there yet???

Hey Mary,
Yeah, it's really wierd. No, I'm not in the same seat. Actually, I think I've taken your seat! But I'm only there till December. I've heard that most of first semester is really just neuro, so in reality its only feels like nine more weeks. The longest part of neuro is the first five weeks with all the dissections, so if you really want to think about it, it's feels like five weeks. And the hardest part of dissection is the brain, which is two weeks from now. So, if I hang tight, the semester should really feel like it's two or three weeks long...ok, who am I kidding :( It really stinks without you guys here. Ok, enough with the venting. I'm still getting to know 2007. They seem pretty nice.

Good luck with your family practice rotation! I know you'll do well out there!! :luck:

James,
That really sounded like an episode of Seinfeld, my brother. Yeah, i think Erica and Brent are supposed to be down there. Maybe I should call them, huh?

Well the official Pan-Asian of 2006 is back to school!!!!
Hey bro what's up?? Glad to see you are back in the saddle full swing. And I am sure you will be ready to get out of the saddle too eh?? Well Clyde is boring. Been trying to run everyday, and that is about it. I will be starting at my old hospital on Tuesday to do a two week rotation so I am getting geared up for that. I feel like I should be reading something right now instead of this computer screen. I think I forgot a lot of the stuff I studied a few months ago. Anyway, good luck and remember that stuff I gave you....it should come in handy!

Well hope everyone else is doing well.

Bama, sorry to hear about the hurricane dude. That royally sucks!

Peace out!

HAHA!!!! Blows the TWINS AWAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!

The ODB is back in the house!!!! JP, how 'bout them Cubs? Only 13.5 games behind the BEST team in baseball-the Cardinals. How's neuro? Think of it this way only nine more weeks. I'll probably see you tomorrow because I've got some books to scam... I mean sell. I agree with Mary...Go Indians!!!(It doesn't matter who comes out of the AL because they'll get smoked by the Cards in the Series but at least the Indians are a fun bunch to watch.) Calling Doctordes... Doctordes are you out there?

By the way...Stephens drives a Benz

I agree with Mary...Go Indians!!!(It doesn't matter who comes out of the AL because they'll get smoked by the Cards in the Series but at least the Indians are a fun bunch to watch.)

HEY now! :mad:

Hey I could've said Go Twinkies but I'd rather see the Indians win the Central.

Hey I could've said Go Twinkies but I'd rather see the Indians win the Central.

You're just saying that! The Tribe has been known to surprise. And if I recall correctly, the AL beat the NL in the all star game. So therefore, don't be all sayin that the cards are going to beat up on the tribe. Watch out, Disco!!!

What up y'all
How has the break been? I started my two week Family Med Pre-rotation this week. Been doing quite a bit. Yesterday, put in a central line, drained a sebaceous cyst, and been helping in surgery all week, being first assist. Done a few colonoscopies solo, with the doc standing by. Pretty cool stuff. The clinic has been pretty cool as well.

Anyway, good luck to all on your first rotation. I know I am getting pretty nervous. Gonna try to read the pertinent info in Mosby's this week and maybe a little pathophys.

Later guys!

You're a gunner.

I know I haven't posted much at all, but I had to take this opportunity to agree with Mary. Chris you are such a gunner. Before we know it you're going to be graduating the year ahead of us instead of after. They'll give you an honorary degree and you won't have to do a residency because, heck you already learned everything in your prerotation.

Keep up the hard work though.

Chris isn't a gunner...he's a sniper and he's deadly from 500 meters. Don't mess.
And ODB, the only twinkie here is ME (yellow on the outside, and white on the inside)!!! Get that straight, bro

Oops, sorry :meanie: My brain's just a little fried from studying neuro.
Hey, isn't there an understood rule that one can make fun of their own race. I mean, just look at Harold and Kumar goes to White Castle... :idea:

You're right. Carry on.

I appreciate the gunner comment. However, I am just taking advantage of my opportunity. It has been a blast though. Today had a lap chole, extracting a gallstone the size of an egg, no sh#@. Then did a breast biopsy and then another central line; however this one was very very tough and took like 45 minutes.

Hang in there JP. I enjoyed the twinkie analogy. I laughed out loud in the library and got a dirty look from the librarian. No humor in the Clyde library I tell ya.

Anyway, next week is the big one!!! Have fun!

Don't be worrying about Tavarez... you know it's a NL conspiracy against the Cards. The ODB has been bored out of his gourd in CT. So you'll either find me in CT 503 twindling my thumbs or you'll find me in CT fast asleep. And leave poor Mary out of this, she has enough on her mind with keeping the Cleveland KCUMB contingent in line. the bigger question... Where's doctordes?

Chris IS A GUNNER! But I'm just jealous!! As he's in the hospital learning, I'm sleeping in and going to Target daily. Fun stuff!! Hey, did you ever find your way out of Wichita? Maybe you're trapped.

Bring it on, ODB - you wanna talk some crap to me again now that I'm online?

Calm down, people!! Borophyll's up here talking about who know's what and there's like five stalkers tryin to make out with me!! I'm here to LEARN people, I'm here to learn.
I've been stalking MJ as of late, actually - I have found myself in dire need of his digital thermostat capabilities. We're having a blast in Ft. Myers!! The beaches are getting cleaned up and we've all been hanging out everyday. Yeah, I did it. Jealous?
ODB, thanks for selling my books! You can stop banging your head against the wall, I'm back online.
JAMESY!! I miss you, the PHO KING!! Grant is good, except he's picking his nose an awful lot and then eating it. But he's saying HELLO with a giant smile. He's singing "Big Montana in my mouth", too. Y2KHAI RULZ! If you find new pho buddies, it's on. Miss you!
Chris IS A GUNNER! But I'm just jealous!! As he's in the hospital learning, I'm sleeping in and going to Target daily. Fun stuff!! Hey, did you ever find your way out of Wichita? Maybe you're trapped.

Bring it on, ODB - you wanna talk some crap to me again now that I'm online?

DES:)
I'll talk crap to Doctordes starting...............now. Your thing says en route to Ft. Myers but aren't you already there? mmmm...seems like your on line just off the mark. I guess you don't miss the ODB... getting all lovey dovey about James and missing him. I see how it is...just using the ODB for his book selling capabilities. What a tangled web we weave or maybe Doctordes has already baked too long in the Florida sun. And it's not Target it's Tarjay. Calling all the people of Florida...If you think Hurricance Charley was bad you haven't seen the whirlwind known as Doctordes. Doctordes, I think I've beat you in the sport of sleeping in...got up at 1:35 a couple days ago.
ODB

Hi Mary!
Glad to see that you're back and posting again! How was Fort Myers? I'm guessing that everyone there is pretty settled in. Did Charley cause alot of damage there?

Des, how you doin', girl??? Hope that you're doing ok out there. Tell Grant to stop eating his nasal secretions. Miss you guys alot. Learn alot and have fun.

Hi James :love: I sure do miss ya! Ft Myers was awesome. The gang picked a great place to do rotations. I went to the beach and got a lot of sun. Ft. Myers beach was a mess from Charley. They are still cleaning up, and there's a lot of damage. I had a very relaxing time and it was so cool to see everyone again. [Sorry Bama I didn't stop by to say bye... :( ]

I start fam med on the 13th--finally! It's taking so long to get here. But OTOH, I am so nervous to start. I feel like I know nothing. How's neuro James?

Keep posting
M.

Hey Mary!
Great to hear that everyone in Ft. Myers is doing well. How's Kendra?
Things here are busy. Neuroanatomy practical on Friday and the midterm on Tuesday. It's been ok, so far. Don't worry about your Fam Med rotation. You still have two more weeks! You'll be fine, and the stuff that you studied will all come back to you, I promise.
Did you get to ride on the waverunners? Did Grant flex his bony waif body on the beach? LOL!

Hey everybody! James, I can't believe neuro's already half over. Yay! I'm doing good, thanks for asking. Started internal med this week with a hospitalist and love it. It's really busy, working about 10 plus hour days, but good good stuff. It's like First Aid hands-on style. Very cool. Florida's nice, but I'm still settling in. I'm just thankful a group of us are here to lean on each other. Miss you LOTS!! I met an internist from Chicago today and thought of you. My JAMESY!
ODB, please don't get jealous again! Hopefully you're not still twiddling your thumbs in CT and are out doing something. You better still be exercising. You know it's good for you. Not so much bad, but good. I'll email you back soon.
Hope everyone else is doing great; Mary it was great to see ya and good luck on family med!

Hey everyone...hate to butt into your thread. I just had orientation here are ccom and the first thing we did today after taking the pledge was to watch the video produced by the AOA, about SOMA and osteopathic medicine...just wanted to make sure that everyone was aware of the movie star in your class...a fellow Hoosier, and now a proud MSIII Dan Roth is a big star in the movie!!! Check it out!!!

Ummm...Hey HoosierDO, I don't know a Dan Roth MS-III. But I do know a Dan Roth MS-IV from KCUMB. I don't think that he attended IU-Bloomington. I'm pretty sure that he's an ILLINI :thumbup:. Thanks for the heads up on the video. I'll try to get my hands on it.

What the heck is going on up in here? I haven't posted in a while so it looks like the UHS Class of 2006 thread is going to hell in a handbasket. I guess I need to get back here and lay the hammer down. Things in Fort Myers are rocking! The hotties down at the retirement center are smoking!!!

James, my brotha' how goes it? I trust that you are keeping those young whippersnappers in shape. They are all punks you know. Slap Matt B. upside his head for me and give him a big Roll Tide! NO, the Waverunner has yet to see the water. We tried to take it out once and I won't get into the details as to why that attempt was unsuccessful. We'll just say that I received some bad intelligence, right Des?

I, like Des, started IM this week. However, my rotation has mostly been outpatient so far. Pretty cut and dried stuff. HTN, hyperlipidemia, diabetes, blah, blah, blah. My preceptor is an awesome teacher and it seems like his patients and all the other docs in the are really like him. I told him I was interested in Path and he was really cool about it. I really wish there was more hospital stuff, though.

Mary, I was hurt that you didn't come by to goodbye, but I have recovered. I am moving on with my life now so I guess that is all that needs to be said about that.

ODB, you are a punk. You have always been a punk and you will always BE a punk. Just wanted to let you know where you stood. By the way, thanks for selling my books and the Rams suck Rhino.

Alright, I've got a stress test to prep for tomorrow and Des and me are supposed to go "workout" in a little while ;) No, I will not make out with you!! I'm here to learn, people!! Proceed with the Borophyll!!
Holla' at you fools later.

:laugh: LOL!!! Quite possibly the funniest post I've seen in a long time. Thanks Bama, I needed that. :thumbup:

ok guys give me some encouraging words here. i am fixing to start my FM rotation (9/7) and i am about to stress out :eek: . i feel as if i cant remember anything from my last two yrs of med school. i just hope i remember to show up on time. surely they dont expect you to know everything right? what the hell do i even need to take with me for those of you that have already started i.e. pocket fillers and other crap. anyway somebody holla back. :D

Hugh....what's up? Are you in Ohio yet? I am also petrified about starting my fam. med rotation. I stopped by the office yesterday to look around and wrote down a whole bunch of things I need to look up. I'm in deep $hit. By the time I start it will be 9/13. We ended 2nd year approx @ the end of April, right? jeez.

I'll keep my ears open for the pocket fillers. Look in the clinical rotations forum.

-M. :eek:

Hey guys, I'm actually glad to see that you all are nervous for your family med rotations. It makes me feel I'm more justified in being nervous for my surgery rotation that I have first. Just be happy that you're not going into the OR as first assist quite yet. I think I'm going to have a great first rotation though!

I definitely feel like I forgot everything though. There was some residual cobwebby knowledge in the back corner of my mind when I took boards. Now even those little tidbits have gone.

I am excited to get back into a routine though and get going so that I can see what third year is really like. It's so weird to think of how varied our experiences are going to be.

Even though I was glad you were nervous, I wish the best to all of you on the first rotation. I think they'll understand that it's our first rotation.

Those of you on the beach...have fun, but remember not to wear your bikinis or thongs to your rotation. We don't want to hear about the "3rd year wearing the itsy bitsy teeny weeny yellow polka dot bikini" in Dr. Desai or Dr. Willsie's talks.

Believe me, you only make that mistake once. That was one crappy day.

Hey guys,
How are you riding out Frances down there? It seems like the trajectory of the hurricane is heading northwest, but I'm sure Ft. Myers is getting some of it. Not sure if you guys still have power/internet access. My prayers are with you. Stay safe.

jp

well, i just thought ohio was bad. i guess i could be in florida. anyway ya'll hang on down there and try to stay safe.

Thanks Hugh and James for the prayers and concern. Things have actually been fine here; just some wind and rain but nothing I haven't seen before. Personally, it's been pretty sad hearing the hospital pts talk about the damage from Hurricane Charley. There was this one homeless guy from the area who actually rode out the hurricane lying in a ditch, then was admitted to the hospital like the next day for slipping and falling when he was helping people clean things up!! Crazy stuff. Anyway, thanks so much.
Hope rotations are going well for everyone! I'm doing Int. Med. and really like it. Peace out!!
Des:)

The Rock has come BACK to the WWE and the ODB has come BACK to SDN! It's a relief to know that our Florida contigent is safe and sound. I was really worried because Doctordes didn't respond to my email I sent her. She didn't respond not because of the hurricane but because she was avoiding the ODB. That damn Doctordes back to her old tricks. MJ will be pleased to know that the ODB observed an autopsy last Friday. JP, how bout them Cubs. Not only is their stadium falling apart so is their team. I thought that Wood and Prior were so great...they are no match for pujols and company! I guess there is always next year...and the year after that..etc. for the Cubs.
The ODB is chillin' like a villain on the river Vermilion.

MJ will be pleased to know that the ODB observed an autopsy last Friday.

ODB!
You are now officially a REAL medical student. But don't tell anyone about Path. I don't want the word getting out about the hidden jewel of the medical world. Where did you see the autopsy? Topeka, with Dr. Mitchell?

Hmmm...path, huh? Thanks MJ! I'll start doing research on it right now! J/K! And ODB, the season's not over yet, my friend. And in the words of a very wise man, "the Rams suck Rhino!"

What up my UHS/kCUMb homies!!!

Not only is ODB back on the scene but so is C-dawg! Can I get a holla? Man I have been working my nuts off here in IM. My doc has patients at all the hospitals in Wichita plus does clinic and a few nursing homes. So I have been getting done at like 8-830 pm! So that is why you haven't seen the likes of me

How is roations for you all?? I am sure it is good. We just got internet a few days ago, because they are a little slow down here. Seen some cool stuff.

And that stuff about DrDes......I have called her three times and she hasn't returned my calls....so I am sure that sneaky little minx is up to something! :)

anyway, I am due to get to the nursing home for rounds, so I will let you guys go. JP, stay strong bro....I think a pan-asian once said..."He who stands on toilet high on pot!"

Peace out

Anyone else out there in culture shock in surgery?

Anyone else out there in culture shock in surgery?


Hey TAM, the only shock for me in the last few days is the Irish win yesterday :luck:

And, no, my team is not on probation (not this year anyway-- give us some time for other investigations to be completed please).

Hope surgery is going well.


carpe

Surgery is a bit like an entirely different culture, isn't it?! TAM, where is your rotation at? I'm doing a surgery rotation right now in Richmond, MO. I love it because it's really laid back and the nurses are fantastic. I got really lucky with this one. Next I'll be with Dr. Arnold and I know that will be a different ball game. Do you have your own patients to round on? Do you have to be on call? Surgery is a rough one to start with, I agree.

I hope everyone can keep in contact on SDN. I like to check it out every now and then to see how everyone is doing.

what is an er rotation like?

Warm apple pie.......

First day in family med clerkship. I survived. It is very intense and the doc is somewhat of a freak. He doesen't bother me yet. I think he likes me! I drew blood on an 11 year old indian girl today. Saw sore throats, and back pain. This guy moves fast!

And what do I get pimped on? Pharm, pharm and more pharm. Damn brand names.

Glad to hear everyone's OK.

My poor state is getting blasted by Ivan right now. :( They say that Gulf Shores is a disaster area. The whole town is flooded. My mom says that they already have about 7" of rain and the eye is still just south of them.

Hello old friends! I have been watching all these huricaines and hope everyone is okay!
KC has been it's sunny midwest self most of the time. I'm in psych at the VA this month...yes, it's everything you are thinking that it is and more!!!
All inpatient, so we do get to do a tiny bit of medicine.
Hospital day is tomorrow, we'll miss you! I will get the cheap pens and leftover, stale, 1/2 danishes for you!
Is everyone behaving themselves, bathing daily and brushing thier teeth as we were instructed to do in the summer program. Oh, yeah, don't forget to be nice to the nurses (I never would have though of that on my own!)

Hey friend!

I sure do miss seeing you around! I'm sorry you've had to start with psych. I have it over Christmas. Perfect. Lots of holiday suicide attempts....

I've been pimped so much in pharm this week I'm going to throw up. I hate pharm. I'm just going to put that in every post. I hate pharm.

Another doc pimped my small group today on a 13 y.o. girl presenting with twitching on rt. side, all other H&P negative. Long story short....it's Sydenham's Chorea. wtf.

Miss you Dr. S!!!!! Have fun in KC. Eat some bbq for me.

Hey MJ,
Yeah, I've been keeping a close eye on what's been going on in Bama, and Louisiana. It's pretty sad. Is your family ok? I think you said that they live in Birmingham, right? Hope you and yours hang in there. The scary thing is that there's another one on the way from what I watched on the weather channel. Is there anything left of Florida to raze to the ground? :(

ps. Tell the rest of the guys to keep safe. Thinking of you guys often.

Save yo Confederate money, boys cuz the South will rise again!

Hey, Everybody!!

How are things? This is my first post ever. I started my family medicine rotation this week. My doctor has been keeping me very busy. He works all the time. But I am learning tons and having a good time. Ohio is a fun place to be. Hope you are all doing well!

Miss you all so much!

Shalin

What up what up..... Greetings from the Land of Oz.......
Glad to hear everyone is doing good.

Things are going well here in Wichita.......still busy as hell. Logged 160 patients already. But I am learning a lot and having a fairly good time.

Welcome to the board Shalin.....and welcome back to some of our silent members.....Dr Sims and Eurodocmom! Glad to hear from you ladies.

JP, keep our house in line will ya....dont let the '07ers take over.....wait, crap I just remembered that I am on '07er now!!!

Well gotta go read and then hit the hay! Peace out

Sorry it took so long to reply to those that had questions about surgery. I'm currently trudging through it at Mercy Suburban, in Norristown, PA. I mostly see biliary surgery and hernia repairs, although for some reason, the students also scrub in with a plastic surgeon once a week. I assisted with liposuction and an abdomenoplasty (tummy-tuck). Interesting stuff, but the surgery lasted over 5 hours. As for rounding, I usually round on a patient if I assisted during their surgery, plus one or two other interesting cases, as they arise. For pimp questions, I get hit mostly with stuff related to perioperative care, lab values and diagnostic tests, since they can only ask me so many questions about the layers of the abdominal wall and pancreaticobilliary anatomy. Basically, my residents want to see if I know the "whys" rather than low yield esoterica. I got my boys roasted over an open fire the other day for knowing nothing about ERCPs when one of my patients was scheduled to have one later in the day. Good luck to anyone else doing surgery next, and say good-bye to sleep (and regular meals) for a month!

ODB!

Sorry I have not posted in awhile. Mj, I did the autopsy at home...a pathologist comes in from time to time to the funeral home my dad works at. Started family med this week and have logged about 12 hours per day between hospital rounds at MCI and the the UHS clinic. Seeing A LOT and learning a lot more but am feeling a bit overwhelmed between long hours for rotation stuff and MBA sh&t. Get 'er done!
ODB

Just wondering how you guys/gals like rotations so far? Also, when did you start studying for the boards...

I miss you guys! :love: Does anyone miss me yet?? :laugh: I know it is hard for you guys to make it through the day without seeing my smiling face! Oh by the way, for all of those who sat on the Left Side of Ricci, I would like you to know that I am ALWAYS on time for rotations. Please someone pass this message to Keir, I know he will be happy to hear it, since I disturbed him coming in late from the cafeteria every hour.... A sistah gotta eat!!! It disturbed me to find out I didn't win the "always late for class" award since I tried so very hard to get it during first and second year. I don't think I have ever even sat in any class longer than 20 minutes. Oh! that's why I didn't win, you guys didn't even notice that I had been there.

Mary C - You know dr. mathews probably will email us and make us send him a copy of our updated CV next month...he's just waiting for us to get settled into rotations!

Dr. Chris - thanks for the welcome home message, It's good to be back

MJ- I know you miss your sexual chocolate. Did my grandma ever send you those chitlens she was suppose to mail to you? :laugh:

Take care everyone and I'm praying for all your success!

Just wondering how you guys/gals like rotaions so far? Also, when did you start studying for the boards...

You must have just had hospital day. Rotations are good. If you need the Ohio scoop, feel free to drop me a note.

What's happening back in KC? How's neuro? I'm giving a patient reminyl. Dr. Hon will talk about this probably. Are you at CT? How are things at my old home? Any fights in the library?

Have fun :thumbup:

Hey Mary, I hear interrogations go better if you have a heat lamp close by. :) Please limit your posts to no more than 20 questions. J/k Mary, you know I luv you.

Dejarra, my sista'! What's happening? I know you miss me, don't you? Do you want me to send you a poster size picture of me for those lonely nights in Okie Dokieville? Your grandmomma didn't send me any chitlins' but them pigs feets sho' was good! Put some hot sauce on there and Um, um! Blow ya' head off!!

We're kickin' it here in the Fort as we like to call it. Actually, no one calls it that but I'm trying to start a new trend. My preceptor has been gone a lot so when he is gone I usually just hang with Des' and her preceptor at the main hospital in town. We have good times, fun times. Just saving lives, one after another. You should see Des in action. She's pretty stellar. Our first rotation ends this Friday. We're pumped.

Ya'll take it easy and remember you can't out-pimp a true Pimp.

MJ

Glad to hear y'all doin good! Same ol' same ol' wit me.

Pimpin' ain't Easy......but it sho is fun!!!

Can't think of anything intelligent to say. Will post more later.

Wolverine.....I started seriously studying for boards during Integrative. If you want, you could start reviewing a bit before, but you will probably forget it anyway. Use either First Aid or Step Up as your bible and know it well. I liked First Aid better. And be sure to write in it all the time; extra tidbits that they go over in class. I would have mine out during class everyday and jot stuff down in it!

Well later y'all......gotta workout then eat....then read!! Drat!

whoa whoa whoa, now wait a minute. If I recall correctly you were helping me with my follies videos back in late January, and we sat and fretted together about boards. I think you started in Aug. 2002. :laugh: :love:

Hey Mary, I hear interrogations go better if you have a heat lamp close by. :) Please limit your posts to no more than 20 questions. J/k Mary, you know I luv you.

MJ

Go play on a highway.

Hey, Everybody!!

How are things? This is my first post ever. I started my family medicine rotation this week. My doctor has been keeping me very busy. He works all the time. But I am learning tons and having a good time. Ohio is a fun place to be. Hope you are all doing well!

Miss you all so much!

Shalin

Hi Shalin!! *waves

Check everybody out...an SDN reunion! I am about to cry. Not from happiness, just because didactics was so painful today!
You outliers are really missing out on stuff here in KC.
...group hug...

The Eu-D-MOM is back! I just replied to my own post so I would get an e-mail that I had a reply. Is that sad?
I think the psych dept is getting to me.
HEY... Mary & MJ need to play nice or we will have to subject you to a mandatory KC didactic film-a-thon.

Welcome back EuroDocMom who is neither in Europe nor a doc (yet), discuss..... Seriously, maybe you should change your screen name. Get over the German techno days and live in the now! Maybe you could switch it to AmeriStudentdocMOM. Don't you miss me bothering you a regular basis? I know Pres. Dawson does. Where is she anyway? I don't feel like the Fort Myers constituency is being properly represented. No taxation without representation! Don't make us throw tea in the Gulf. We'll do it!

I finished up my first Internal Medicine rotation today by hanging out in the pathology lab! My preceptor let me go down and hang with the pathologist some today because he knows that cranks my tractor. He's a cool guy and I had a lot of fun on my first rotation. Big Steve, you will be pleased to know that my first surgery rotation is trauma surgery. It is supposed to be really cool. They let you put in central lines and chest tubes and do internal cardiac massage, etc.

How often do you guys have didactics in KC? We have them at least 3 times a week here in the Fort. This week we had them 4 days, not to mention the mandatory DME dinner meeting that we had to attend. I turned down a free drug rep dinner last night because I was tired of going to meetings. It was probably a stupid thing to turn down b/c the restaurant where it was being held is supposed to be awesome. Anyway, ya'll be good and I holla' atcha later.

So, your back to your old love, Path? Man, you are worse than me with the "wheel of specialties".-I'm sticking to my guns now!
I'm going into my last week on inpt psych at the VA. WOW, what an experience. The best thing was that I got to have my own patients, and we did manage them medically, so I got to learn a 'lil medicine. No pimping (except day 2 in ECT) and totally laid back.
Supposed to start surg on Friday. I should find out where sometime before friday!! It's between two places. Just waiting to hear from the doc. One's awesome on KS side, and one is affiliated w/ MCI (YIKES).
We have didactics once a month in KC.
Is the post-test up for you if you are done with your rotaton? Are any "post-tests" up???
Hey, I actually had to pull out the ol' red path book this week! I know, I know, I am a dork. I just have forgotten too much stuff and the fruity tooty clinical "handbooks" just don't gimme the WHY's! You know I have to know the WHYs! (OCD acting up again).
Yes, I have looked up things in Harrison's, too, but it's kinda heavy to carry up to the 10th floor every day.
What books are ya'll using?
The General is doing well, we are working on our top secret research project together. I met w/ Dr. Dew this week about it. Looks promising. She is in IM on the north side. She has officially marked IM off of her spec choices-big surprise for a future carpenter!

Dearest Hurricane Magnet (formerly known as BamaAlum)..... WHERE IS THE LOVE????

Don't let eurodoc fool you with this "sticking to my guns" stuff about derm.... I give her another 3 weeks before she changes again..... maybe to path!! HAHAHAHA!!

You'll be pleased to know some of your more concerned class reps did in fact email me wanting to know how all of you in FL are doing..... I tried to delete the emails and act like I never got them, but I guess there is a way to check that sort of thing... :-) So, I finally asked the occe leader via email to let us know what is up with all you hurricane magnets....... All kidding aside, hope you guys along w/ the folks in gulfport are doing ok....

We had didactics yesterday..... once a month is all we have scheduled. Wish we had your didactics........ that is all I will write about that!!! IM this month and Peds next.... time to go play my bango and listen to bon govi!!! Carpe diem will pay!!!!! :-)

OH58D.....set......hike

Oops. Sorry, was day-dreaming about the title run of the Diamond Dawgs in the 2002 UHS Intramural football league when you juked BamaAlum to get open for the game winning touchdown pass. Just goking.

As you were.

Finished surgery! And what a way to go out! For my last procedure in the OR, I got to witness the ...um... removal of a foreign object from the nether regions of the pelvic anatomy. This object was 12 inches long, vaguely mushroom-shaped and required batteries. The genius who inserted it also waited 3 days until he decided that maybe he should see a doctor. After 4 weeks of seeing mostly hernia repairs and cholecystectomies, this was a bit of a change.

2. *high five, Tom :meanie:

What up my homies.....

IM is winding down. Learned a lot but been pretty busy. Still feel really dumb......

Anyway, I go to FP next...my preceptor does a lot of OMT I guess so that will be cool.

Hope everyone is doing well.

-C

Damn, when am I gonna go over the 1000 mark???

Hey guys! Glad to hear everyone is enjoying their rotations (ahem, Tomas) so far! I just finished IM and this is my first week of FP. It's MUCH slower paced and more relaxing, but naturally not near as much pathology.
MJ fixed my palm tonight...I was like, yeah whateva. My one leg can go all night long.
THE ODB!! Where are ya, buddy? MIA it seems. Tell us how old CT is holding up and if you've chatted with the security guard lately.
CM - wouldn't it be nice if you stopped counting your own posts??! Pure ridiculousness. Some of us are not blessed with the high post number such as yourself and find it offensive that you indeed have posted near 1000 times. This must be stopped. You have reached your limit and now I am forced to sick ODB on you. On a serious note, how is old Wichita holding up? Go eat at Il Vicino and have the Chicken Pesto sandwich....you'll thank me, I swear!
I saw a toe amputation today...pretty nasty...but what a nice view of that flexor hallucis longus. :D

Damn, when am I gonna go over the 1000 mark???

You are going to need to post about 450 more times. Sorry you have not reached sdn-loser status as I have. :D

*waves to Des
Hey little girl. Have fun in FM. Good times!

Thanks for the tip Mary!

Man I actually got home at around 430pm today; that is a record for me....it is usually 7-8pm. Anyway, just wanted to holla!

-C

Hey dudes!
Hmmm...not much going on in good old Ft. Myers today. Bama and I have planned to rendevous at the pool in approximately 10 minutes. I'm in FP right now and can most definitely say that I will not be a family doctor. It's only a month, right?! Nothing new to report here, though.
How's your rotation going, Miss Mary?
Des:) :)

Des.... please watch Bama close.... after his beloved "Role Tide" were crushed by the mighty USC Gamecocks..... at home no less.... well, I'm a little concerned about his mental state..... ok, I'm always concerned about his mental state... but this time, I'm really concerned :-) Sounds like life is treating you rough.... pool, drinks, and chilling w/ FP... take care girl!!
LKD

Hey Des!
My FP rotation is OK. Although I've told my preceptor that I salivate over FP (in so many words) I am not quite sold. It's basically about sending every patient out of the office with a little slip of paper with a prescription for SOMA, Flexeril, or Avelox or debrox ear drops. And the occasional sebaceous cyst removal. I do indeed interview sometimes with the mindset of digging up some pathology, but for the most part, it's nothing like anything we've learned.

4 more weeks to go. Enjoy! :D

Hey pres! *pats pres on the back 'sup?
M.

Hey guys...
2 days into FP. It is going pretty well. I saw my first circumcision this morning. Man, I can still remember mine back in the day; but I couldn't walk for a year after it! :laugh:

Anyway, my doc does a lot of OMT and such so that is cool. Getting to practice that superb cranial we learned.

Well gotta go to didatics soon, so later

-C

FP sux rhino!! Who wants to spend their life treating ingrown toenails, hypertension and sinusitis? My preceptor is cool though. He lets me do everything. I basically do the entire work up, write out my treatment plan and write out the prescriptions. He then tells me if I am right and signs off on everything. I need some pathology people! At least with IM I saw WPW, and a few cases of scleroderma. Oh well, only 2.3 more weeks and I'm back on IM. Des loves her FP rotation. Right, Des?? ;)

Hope everyone is doing well. We're just chillin' down here in the Fort. Well, gotta go to a free drug rep dinner! My favorite part of 3rd year! :)

ODB, where are you my brotha'?

Sounds like everyone is in FP right now! I get to go see a couple surgeries tomorrow, though so that should be more fun.
What's up Pres!? How bad are you making all of us look on rotations? How are the kids? I've thought of you quite a bit with your hubby still overseas and wonder how you guys are.
The Fort is holding up well. My FP rotation is.....hmm.....is almost over. That's the perfect way to describe it.:)
ODB, still talkin trash I see! Anything new?
CM, how often do you have didactics? We have them thrice a week!!! Ahhh! Too early. Too early. I have to do a case presentation tomorrow am, though so that should be interesting.
Des:)

Hey guys,
Quick question...how did you guys go about presenting Stephen's neuro cases? What exactly are they looking for? How do they grade it? I'm guessing it's like the path cases we do for erf.

Anyhow...glad to see that you guys are posting again. Neuro's ok, but it's getting old. I'll be glad when it's over. Looks like everybody's on FM. I'm guessing Mary's coming to the end of FM, though. Glad to hear that you guys are having fun and learning alot. All right, holla!

Bama and Des, are you staying out of trouble in Ft. Myers? Des shoot me an email. Des, good luck on your presentation. I,too, am in FP. Actually, I've learned a lot although the hours have been longer than I would have expected. I am at the UHS Family care center in Independence. Hey, JP, how bout them Cubs? Oh wait...they are not in the postseason like the Cards. I just hope they are enjoying their vacation. The neuro cases...pick a neuro case in one of the Neuro journals in the library. Divide it three ways and present much like a Path case. You'll be presenting in one of the rooms that we do the mock patient interviews. Usually these presentations are free points unless you are lucky enough to get Stephens so don't sweat it! Your final exam that week is a much bigger deal. JP, if you have ?, email me.
In memory of the late Rodney Dangerfield I get no respect.

James :love: :love:
How are ya dude? That whole neuro case thing was kinda crazy. If I remember correctly, you basically have to present it like a patient, i.e. 23 year old man presents with right sided hemiparesis and whatever other symptoms, blah blah blah and you basically have to reconstruct where the lesion is and perhaps possible causes. It's all kind of a blur. Perhaps our fellow colleagues here on sdn can offer more input. They award you points based on your successful completion of presenting the case. You do it with 2 other ppl and you all have to 'work together' on it. So just make sure that you are on the same page as your comrades and it should all be just fine.

Sure do miss ya bud. FP is done Nov 5th. I'll probably end up missing it. I go to ob/gyn next. Drop me a note anytime, k?
M. :D

Mary,
I sent you an e-mail with some Ohio questions.

Mary,
I sent you an e-mail with some Ohio questions.

Hey...sorry, but I didn't get anything yet. I pm'd you my email address, to make sure you have the right one.

* JP... we presented our case to "sweet lew"... nuff said!!! :-) I will add that signing up for the case you want to present ASAP is important since they aren't suppose to let every one present the same type of cases.

* unlike my fellow comrades who are in the FP trenches, I am in my peds rotation. It is safe to say that had I done a peds rotation before having kids, I may have never had kids:-)
It's not too bad...... only bad part is some kid in the clinic is ALWAYS getting a shot therefore some kid is ALWAYS screaming bloody murder... good clean fun there!!!!

* hubby is due back for his 14 day leave ("vacation" in military terms) 20 NOV thru 04 DEC.... IF all goes well, they should get back (for good) in FEB/MAR '05. He's flying a lot and staying busy..... says it is fun to see all the kids waving to them as they fly over their villages.... they'll take their old plastic drink containers and fill them w/ hard candy and give that out to the kids as they fly by..... not something we'll see on the news, of course.

* BAMA.... how about the USC game!!! Yes, it's a week old... but I have to enjoy the glory since Saturday they'll turn around and forget to "show up" for the Mississippi game!!

LKD

Thanks ODB, Mary, and The Pres for your advice. Just found out that Wayne Newton himself will be attending ours. Oh, the joy.

It's that time again...finals week...neuroscience...I'm sure you all remember it with such fondness...good times. Help a brotha' out! Was Stephen's material killer on the final, or did he compose all of his questions from the very last review?

Anyways, MJ and Des, hold down the FORT! Say hi to Grant and Kendra for me. ODB, the Cardinals will lose the series. Pres...enjoy your time with your husband back home! Eurodocmom, how are the crazies? And DrMaryC, hang in there. Don't get pimped too hard!

jp

jp--

Hey there you pan asian. Neuro was so incredibly easy! It is shocking that not everyone received an A!!!!! hahahahahahahahaha

No, seriously, if you attended those afternoon sessions and you studied hard during the section, you will be fine. I have actually permanently erased that horrifying week from my memory. I honestly can't remember anything about it, other than getting sloppy drunk on Saturday night!!!!!! That's it

We had Treffer, McClain and Desai down here in Wichita today for an all day OPP review. For those of you that aren't too pumped about OPP, it would have been your worst nightmare. OPP from 9-4pm. Inominants, lumbar, thoracics, cervical and some Still's techniques. It was a great review, so I really enjoyed it. But the day was kind of long.

Well off to Starbucks to study before Scrubs comes on! JP, give me a holla sometime.

Peace out my homies!

-C

What is up Dr. Chris33. What's the 33 for, anyway?

jp: the only thing I remember from last year was learning the brainstem lesions like the day before the test based on Dr. Stephens' breakdown of info. I remember trying to print them on the 5th floor of CT. What a hoot.

Hang in! You'll make it I know you will . *hugs* :D

Anyone else out there in extended-UHS/KCUMB land seem to be doing a lot of codes lately? I've done three in the past 2 weeks...

I called a code on my almost dead plant the other day. No one showed up so I gave it some water. We have sinus rhythm :thumbup: .

No, Tom, no codes in the fp clinic--yet. What rotation are you on that you are doing all these codes?

No code here, Mary! I am still alive on the Surgery service out in lovely Blue Springs/ Lees Summitt/ MCI land.
I am loving this month. Of course all I can compare it to is Psych, so who wouldn't love it.
I decided last week that I would rather spend 10 straight hours in the OR than 3 hrs seeing pts in clinic! Does anyone else find themselves feeling this way???
I am now dreading all my office based rotations.

how hard was it to set up the rotations?? did the school do it for you??

3rd year the school sets up your schedule, but you can trade with classmates. 4th year we set up ourselves, but have to do Cardiology & ER with the "school's approved " Docs.

General Irritation,
What are you talking about? That is ALL wrong!!..........Okay, it's not but I know you and the Prez miss arguing with me so I thought I would be confrontational. :)

I'm finishing up my first FM rotation this week and then it is on to my 2nd IM rotation. I can't wait to actually do an inpatient rotation. Hopefully I'll see some interesting pathology. FM has been fun but most of the cases are :sleep: .So, Big Steve is is surgery again?? When are you going to realize that Pathology is the true hidden gem of medicine and come over to our side?
You're gonna do derm and you know it!

ODB, getting nervous? The Cards have a fight on their hands my friend.

So, Big Steve is is surgery again??


:confused: what is this Big Steve business :confused:

Laurel, I am so happy that you've come home to surgery. You are so smart and I think you'll make an excellent slicer/dicer.
M.

Mary, why you so out of the loop? Big Steve has been Big Steve ever since there was a Big Steve. And if a woman wants to be called Big Steve then it is her right to be called Big Steve. This country was founded on the premise that a Big Steve divided against itself cannot stand. That is why Big Steve must return to her roots and embrace her dermatologicalness and cast aside this surgery foolishness.

Mary- I'm on "inpatient family medicine (IM in name only). Anytime code blue gets called, all the docs and students head straight to the room, unless you are in surgery. Yesterday, it was another day, another code, and we narrowly avoided a code today.

Laurel- After a month of getting up every morning at 4, I hope to never see the OR again... You can take those army surgery residency slots, I don't want them!

Felt like our class thread was getting a little too low on the page. BUMP this up!

Has anyone seen the ODB? I'm worried about his mental health after the Cards got pimp slapped by the Sox........ODB, get off the roof! It's not worth it! Think about all your illegitimate children. ODB, there is still hope for the Rams (although not much). The Cards just played like vaginas, that's all. It's not your fault...........ODB, put the gun down. If you are going to kill yourself take some pills like a real woman!

Oh, I almost forgot. The Prez is a Cards fan too. Prez, get off the roof!....

Bama,
I've decided to get off the roof and get therapy. 105 wins and then get swept in the World Series! RIDICULOUS!!!!! I think my hope of a Rams postseason has gone down the tube. Losing to the 0-5 Miami Dolphins! RIDICULOUS!!!! I'm at my wit's end. There definitely is a conspiracy somewhere here. It's bigger than the Kennedy assassination. Where's Oliver Sone when you need him. It could be worse... I could be a Cubs fan.
ODB +pissed+ +pissed+ +pissed+

I've finally had the IV lexapro removed......... still depressed about the cards..... not sure who stole their bats.... but I MUST GO ON!!!! Thanks for caring Bama...... I'm feeling the love.

Hey ODB, let me be the first to welcome you to the Cubs/Bears family. Here in Chicago, we make it a point to have high expectations only to have them dashed against the rocks of reality :thumbdown . After growing up in Chicago, you learn to have low expectations about your sports teams, so that anything remotely good would bring immense joy and satisfaction. Besides, I know deep down you really root for the Cubs. :meanie:

PS. You'll see monkeys fly out of my ***** before I root for the Cubs!!

I put Pontiac Osteopathic Hospital, St Joe Mercy of Macomb, and St Vincent in Toledo, has anyone here heard anything good or bad? I mean I only heard the good side from the recruiters at hospital day but I just went with my gut feeling since the other 2nd and 3rd sites that I put were over full which was Genesys and Wilson Medical center? Also, am I allowed to change my mind later on lets say I get my 3rd choice, but I see another location that was empty? Is taht sheet with my 3 choices all I have besides during the trading period or unless I don't match? :(
Also, are you all in general satisfied with the way our school runs 3rd and 4th year with the online exams and stuff?

Who voted that? The citizen's of Cleveland? In my opinion, every city seems to think it alone is unique in bad sports luck. Look at Boston, crying all those years about the Red Sox, while the Celtics and Bruins load up on championships for decades, and the Patriots go on a tear for the past few years.

Today is the day to cast your ballots for our next Pres. and other offices, Four more years? We'll see when the lawyers work it all out. Just like they have worked out health care for all of us!
Okay, enough politics...you know I am from DC, so I had to say something!

By the way, it seems everyone thinks I am going into surgery. My goodness people, I simply stated that I enjoyed my rotation, as I am enjoying IM now.
Okay, now that I have gotten that off my chest, how is everyone doing out there?
KC has finally gotten COLD! The Chiefs are winning and everyone seems to be happy as ever...

I stand corrected.

In answer to Wolverine's post re: 3rd and 4th year clerkships and the exams...here's a current MS-IV view.

I'm at POH, and I had a great 3rd year. In fact, I haven't talked to any of my classmates who did not have a good year. It is difficult to move again, especially if you moved to go to school and also if you have friends at allo schools who walk across the street from school to go to the hospital. Sometimes I felt like a drove around more than I would have liked.
I enjoyed having an elective and my site also gave us a surgery subspecialty choice for our second GS rotation. That meant I was able to choose from ENT, ophtho, urology, ortho, etc, instead of just GS.

Planning for 4th year really begins in the spring of third year, and you are essentially, on your own. If you have decided on a field, and are looking at residency spots, go to the websites and start pulling applications. Most hospitals won't accept apps for the next year until March or later.
Sometimes this feels like a pain in the butt, that you're trying to set up rotations when you still have things going on. Deal with it.

Boards are in August. Deal with it. Personally, I love the fact that I'm *done* with boards and my friends are talking about sequesterng themselves during Christmas. That said, I think I would strongly consider taking some time off in August not only to study, but to prepare for applications, especially since this year you go through ERAS (get down on your knees for that one, ERAS is great!)

The one thing I can advise you with is to be on top of things. Get your regsitration stuff done, get you pretest done, your MEDIQ, etc. Don't wait until the last minute for everything or you'll A) make the OCCE miserable and you won't like that B) miss important deadlines, and you won't like that and C) make your memories of this time bad (and you won't like that either). If you're not organized, work to get that way. quickly.

But the post tests definitely suck. You should only wish we got to take the shelf exams.

PM me if you have questions. :p

Cool post, Electra. :D :thumbup: Any interviews yet? PM me if you want.

Thanks Electra.
Hey guys, Bama's b-day was yesterday. I saw it on the Birthday e-mail.
Happy birthday!

Happy B-day, MJ!

Thanks Electra.

Thanks Everybody! It was a pretty good b'day except that I had to work last night and one of our patients died. Going with my attending to tell the family is the absolute worse thing ever. Makes me glad I am going into Path. But other than that it was a good b'day. I hope everyone is doing well. I miss all my KC peeps.

Hey, Bama!!

Happy B-day!

I survived my first day of L&D today but we didn't have any deliveries :)
I think it is going to take some getting use to getting up this early as opposed to being on FP. Everyone seems really nice and I think I am going to enjoy being at the hospital finally.

Hope things are going well for all of you!!

Hey stranger Dr. S....I started OB today too. It was a short day. My doc seems very nice and laid back. Good to hear from you!
M.

I just wanted to add in that I'm also on my OB rotation. (And bump up our thread!) I really do like this rotation even though the hours are very long. I've helped deliver 20 babies, many c-sections, even twins. I've also been first or second assist on over 10 gynecological surgeries....all in two weeks.

Now that I've had two months of surgery and this month of OB/GYN, I don't know if I'll know what to do next month in psychiatry. No procedures, no scrubbing?!

Anyway, I also wanted to really recommend the book, Current Obstetrics and Gynecology Diagnosis and Treatment. It's a great resource, especially for the procedures, and an easy read.

Have a good weekend!

Hey guys, I just got into KCUMB for the upcoming year. I'm wondering about Health insurance while in school. Where did you guys get this, does the school offer a program? or did you have to go private, What kind of cost does it include?

Also, I have already gotten in and I'm waiting to send my deposit until my bro gets in, he called and they told him he was in the qualified applicant pool. What does that mean? Is there anything i can/should do, to help speed this process up?

Oh My Gosh The ODB is dead! I can't believe it. Goodbye old friend, goodbye.

hello Dr. MaryC and gang,

I can't remember if I emailed you back or not. I've been all over!
Interviews: Mayo, Harvard (Spaulding), Northwestern (RIC), U of Michigan, U of Washington, U of Colorado. Stanford decided not to download the rest of my app once they found out I was a D.O. No sweat.
Rank list: see above.

Hope all is well with you guys and that rotations are going good! :p

Hahahahahahahahaha! That is awesome Bama!

Hey guys, sorry I have slacking on the board. I'm on IM again. It is pretty busy. I have been an H & P machine!!! I didn't think I would say I am getting tired of history and physicals but I am. I am glad to here that everyone is doing well. Wichita is going fine.

Well gotta go do rounds. Lata!

-C

I was kinda worried about ya, Chris. It's not like you to be away for so long. Yeah, glad to hear that everyone's doing well. Good luck, Electra, and thanks for all the great info.

And may the ODB Rest In Peace.

Gotta go back to studying boards : (

jp

Hey, do any of you guys know if any of your classmates are at the Moberly, MO AHEC site? If you do, could you PM me with who it is so I can contact them, or email them to let them know I'm interested in getting in touch.

Thanks
wbdo

What up everyone--

Just wanna wish everyone a great Turkey Day!!!!

Hope the rotations are going well. How much is everyone studying at night?? I was doing good for a while, but for the last month or so, Xbox has been winning over studying!!


Later!

-C

Holy crap, we were almost off the second page! You guys need to pick it up a bit.

The docs had a Christmas party for us tonight which was pretty cool.

Hope all is well in the land of Externs!

All is very well.....I started vascular surgery today :love: :love:

Hey guys, quick question...I understand that we as third years do not have any vacation until our fourth year. So, what happens when we do need to break away from rotations. So, for example: does KCUMB pull you out of rotations if you fail boards so that you can have some time to study? Typically how much time do they give you? And, for the million dollar question, when/how do you make it up? Thanks guys!

jp

well, most sites will give the students Christmas vacation...since fewer of the hospital staff work anyway. and you will usually fet at least a couple of days at Thanksgiving. You do get five vacation days per year, so there is a little time to get away. But really - you won't be able to get out of dodge every time you feel like it as an intern/resident/attending, so get used to having a small amount of time all at once or ask for an occasional three day weekend.

You get a month as independent study that you must take in august (that's kind of when you're studying for Boards.) I would recommend that you take that month. You get credit for it when you pass the test. You also get a month for straight vacation, and can either take it as a month off (in april seems to be the most popular) or during your residency interviews.

I have no idea how the University takes care of anything if you fail Boards. I would not recommend that you try an find out the hard way. You might ask your coordinator. :)

Thanks Electra,
Reason I was asking is that I'll be finishing my first two years here at UHS/KCUMB in one more week (woot, woot!!!), but it seems that Sarah Hazelton wants me to start clerkships right away, as in Jan 1. I have yet to take the boards, and I think that the longer I push it off, the more difficult it will be for me to score as high as I possibly can. Hoping to take it in the middle of Feb (USMLE), and then come back to Kansas City for my clerkships. Am I allowed to take the USMLE step 1 while on an official leave of absence? I read the regulations on the nbme website, and it states that I've got to be officially enrolled. Yeah, I'm in a bit of a mess here. Can anybody here shine some light on the subject.

And for something completely different: I think I can kind of understand how you guys felt when it was your last week of class in KC. I'm starting to feel it too. Alot of memories...I find myself happy to be finished with the classroom, but at the same time, a litle sad because I'll leave something I'm so familiar with (class/lecture) to enter something that's totally different (rotations). I guess I'm just glad to finally get some closure!

jp

yeesh! I don't know how that will work. Since you have to take the COMLEX in June, I would imagine that taking the USMLE would be easier then as well. The question would be getting some study time in, since what is on Step I is not the same as Step II and clerkships are more conducive to Step II.

If you could start your clerkships in January and board in June, you would be done with third year next december and be right on time for the January administration of COMLEX.

I will PM you.

I just wanted to add...don't feel bad if you have to start rotations in January and then take time off in May/June to study for boards and take them in June. I think that rotations are a wonderful reinforcer for boards. Especially for pharmacology...what better way to help remember drugs than to use them. (Ooops that sounds like I'm promoting the abuse of street drugs. Really I'm not a dealer.) You see what I mean? If you did rotations like Family Medicine, Internal Medicine and Psychiatry you would be getting a wonderful review and you would have the easier schedules where you could put some book time in at least a couple days a week. Most doctors pimp you on questions that are really high yield and that would reinforce your study too. I really think it would be a good plan, but I understand your reasoning for wanting to take the USMLE now.

You've done a wonderful job dealing with a schedule out of the routine so far. I know that no matter which schedule you end up with it will all work out for the best.

Also, I hope everyone is still enjoying rotations. Chris, I'm sure you're still studying more than most of us. Have you all been working on setting up fourth year rotations yet?

Thanks, Anna. I have yet to really decide what I want to do. I guess I have a little less than 24 hours to come up with what I've decided to do. Thanks for the advice, Electra, and Anna. Hey guys, if you were in my situation, what would you do. Keep it coming!

jp

Congrats on completing your 2nd year stuff! That went fast.

You should be able to take the same 6 weeks off before comlex that everyone else does. And be able to participate in the Integrative Section. It's only fair.

So you start your rotations January 1st. Do you have a say in your rotation schedule or are they just going to place you wherever? Regardless, you will be prepared, no problem.

If you do a rotation in January and then take usmle in February, I'm afraid you won't have had enough time to study for usmle.

Most of us set up a schedule over that 6 weeks of what to study and when. I'm guessing you are worried that you are going to start to forget stuff between now and June.

But I think you will be OK if you go ahead, start rotations, set up a weekend subject study schedule (if you're not doing kaplan) and take 6 weeks before the tests.

My $0.02.

Good luck friend! :luck:

James, my brotha'. How's it going? Have you just considered cheating? I mean it would be much easier. :) Seriously though, maybe they would let you start your rotations in January but use your 4th year vacation block in June or July to take the USMLE. I know you aren't supposed to be able to take your vacation block until 4th year, but yours is a unique situation. Come on OCCE people!! Think outside the box, dang it! Anyway, I hope that it works out for you. So far the best thing about 3rd year is that it is a year closer to 4th year. :)
