Crazy as it sounds I remembered some of those pics from that crazy skin exam and answered some questions on my USMLE and COMLEX.

Everyone always rags on the poor FPs...

So you are saying do research for a compeitive residency? I am thinking about going into EM and have been advised against "wasting my last free summer" by 4-5 ED docs. Since ER is mod. compeitive would research be advised against?

Yeah. I would say it's not worth it. Study hard and do well on USMLE (>220) or even COMLEX (>600) and I think you'll be fine in ER. Obviously, don't take my word as gold....I'm just some guy.

Hola,
sorry i've invited myself in, the door was open. usually the reason why those funky pics aren't posted is due to copyright infringement. you'll get it all the time esp. next year in systems. you'll get to see a bunch of the pictures again in lab and then at the end of the year. you have a visual recognition exam and there's a ppt somewhere on judy that has a gazillion (no exaggeration) slides that will be similar, not exact, to the ones you'll be tested on. good luck on PD. thank gawd you score major points in SPAL in 1st year.
now, i quietly close the door and slip away...

Maybe I am wrong but, when you site a source doesn't that take away the whole copyright infringment?

Aren't we all just some guy in the end...unless we are girls, very sexy girls.. (looking at you Sound man...:love: ). Anyways, the only reason I was even thinking about doing research was the cash (I don't want to go back to my old job at the ass cleaning express).

I agree 100%. I like how she told us to study the pics yet won't give us access to the PP-



where does the tuition money go again?? no copyrights in PD or OMM...hmmm....maybe we should start a "copyright" donation fund..:cool:

Yea no kidding, I wonder if they just don't know how to post PP's on blackboard...

Oh well, I'm sure there's a textbook on the library portal that has all sorts of nasty pictures to look at. I'll scour Judy too, and see what I can find-

Beats the snot out of me. I just hear that excuse enough times when good ol' notepool tells me about a pic and i look for it and get a blank screen.

LOL...who was the dork that posted a while back that said we would stop posting on this thread when school started up. :laugh:

So big, they had to shut it down and start a new on. :laugh:
I guess we talk too much but we still dominate so now what??

yeah he said we would stop at the second week of biochemistry.

hahah it is true, DMU shuts down SDN: with this thread and with the super one.

Fisher put that oiled sex butt up on 3 different slides. :eek:

I'll bet you were looking for the source!!

i remember a pic from one of a professor's lectures that had the back of buck naked, tanned, soaking wet woman on it. i don't remember what it was for, but i know i looked for the site source on that one cuz it didn't quite fit. it was strange to see that and then the next slide to be a mangled celiac plexus.

Alright, which one of you got the 100% on that last Micro exam!? Of course someone would, why would I think otherwise...?

FSPro pretty much dominated as did the one of our most popular posters....Love that cat, looks like he's taking it like the micro exam took it from you huh JB?

FP for life soundman!!!!

One more "Pop" quiz like yesterday in OMM, I'm going to rip off the "OMM 4 LIFE" bumpersticker off of my minivan and stop the bi-annual trip down to Kirksville for the ceremonious burning of the ashes on A.T.'s grave :thumbdown

hahha, I feel left out :( . I hope we don't have another quiz until the last three days of class like last semester!! THAT WOULD TOTALLY ROCK. I know that spreading the quizzes out would make more sense but, I like to be toally ASSRAPED, in a mater of days. It's a good thing:love:

Why does everything I learned in BLS have to change?? WHY :-(, jbone, hold me, I feel scared.

This video is HILLARIOUS: we should make something like this at DMU.

Consider this "sticker remove" and "throw the ashes in the dumpster" day.
Me and that class are now officially divorced. Want more involvement, *edit edit edit*!!

Was making myself a "W W A.T. D" wrist band, but consider that mofo garbage.

I read Woolley like a book on that one. During the Microbio test, I sat there and thought 'yea, there's definitely a quiz today.' Now, I'll bet jbone's minivan (with sticker, of course) that there won't be one next Monday. You up for it jbone? I might have to take some kids to soccer in about ten years or so.

anyone else taking that Anatomy elective?


The elective sounds like its going to be fun...however there is a pretest for the class...wonder if you need to review some anatomy notes before taking the test?

Hello all from the great state of Pennsylvania, it's cold as balls. :-(

Anyways, I emailed canby about the class, the pretest doesn't count towards passing the class. I think it is just to guage how much you know.

I'm doing it as well it sounds like a lot of fun, and I should probably do an elective finally since everyone else has done a bunch already; also I apparently need to be "involved" because we as a class obviously are not.... :rolleyes:

But really I'm actually pumped for Canby's classe, he wrote the freaking book and it flat out looks awesome from what i've browsed through. He'll sign it too for you if you give him like 5 bucks.

Everytime someone comes in and says that our class is not involved, I think of you Soundman. I also will be spending some time with Dr. Canby in that Anatomy class. The only way that it could get better than Canby is if he co-taught it with Steele. I love both of those guys. :love:

my question is: how does buying a teddy bear make me invovled? No offense to whatever club is doing that but, I need to use my hands to be invovled, that is why I have been active with Habitat for Humanity down here. Just because I don't sing about it to DMU doesn't make me uninvovled. Anyways, that rant over.

I just got my acceptance for MPH anyone else with me??

Got a question for y'all.... whaddya think of Dr. B. Fisher as an anatomy professor? Good? Bad? indifferent? pm me. Thanks.

I thought Fisher was a effective teacher. I liked his note style.

SHY! Hey baby, what's up? Hope all is well with you. Welcome to the greatest thread on earth! Anyway, Dr. Fisher was great! Why? Are you stealing him from us? Not cool.

LMU is stealing our beloved Dr. Cross away from us. They will truly be the lucky ones getting such an experienced caring anatomy prof like Dr. Cross... he is already fighting for them. Apparently the administration wanted to give the students some cheap laptops, and Dr. Cross did some research into tablets (including calling me into his office to look at my tablet!) then convinced the administration that tablets were the way to go. So now the students are all getting tablet PCs.

anyway, we're looking for a new anatomy department head. Fisher was the first presenter today -- next week we have someone from OUCOM. It's hard to get a feel for a professor from a one hour research presentation, so I thought I'd ask y'all what you thought. I'd like to see someone pretty good come in for the next UNECOM anatomy course.

Besides jbone... this is as close as we're gonna get to actually being at the same school. Sharing professors. :D

Hey I have a quick question for you guys. I'm in class 2011, and I was curious what happens with location and rotations? I'm thinking of buying a house, but I am not sure if it is worth the investments if I am not going to be around for the third and fourth year. Simply put, is it common to move away from the school area for your rotations?
Thanks :)

They're reworking them currently, to try and get students *starting with our class* to do the majority of their 3rd year in IA. I think some other CORE sites would be an option (MI, maybe OH) too. As far as I know, 4th year would be much more wide open.

To tell you the truth, I really don't know much more than you do right now. Maybe some others on here would be able to fill you in better.

They are "trying" but it won't happen anytime soon. We have too many sweet rotation spots that they aren't going to just "give up". I do know however that if you have a more "established" lifestyle (home, family etc) you will probably get the nod to stay close to school as compared to someone with a more "fluid" situation. That being said, with 95% of the second years getting their #1 rotations requests, it is obviously working out just fine. Some people want to go out and do the Michigan or Ohio swing. While others, like myself, would like to remain close to home here in Des Moines. I wouldn't worry about it. I know plenty of students here who have purchased a home and they are doing just fine. Maybe one of them can chime in? Soundman? Bonesaw? Where you at?

I'm also concerned with how I'm going to pay a mortage, with borrowed money? Seems kinda like robbing peter to pay paul in a way. Also, I don't have the slightest inkling on how to buy a house or condo so if someone who started out ignorant like myself and bought a home could chime in or pm me that would be awesome. Thanks for all your help guys.

Hmmm... 95% seems a bit exaggerated. I'm a second year and I don't know the percentage of people that got their first choice. That was never publicly announced.

To dispel all the rumors, I'd recommend getting info from the source: The Clinical Affairs Department.

Here's my 2 cents, since you asked. 3rd and 4th year rotations aren't as sweetly set up as the brick and mortar school. This is well known amongst 2nd years and the rotation design is in a state of flux. Our class had different policies(somewhat) than the year before. and the 2010s will have different policies(somewhat) than ours. The goal is to get as many students getting their education from Iowa docs as possible. But, it's a long process.

I have worked with CA all year and this much I know first hand: A. they are looking out for your best interests; B. The way things are, are not in perfect operating order; C. Clinical Affairs knows this to be true and are flexible with you, to a point.

The lottery that puts you into your required rotations 3rd year is not that flexible. You can qualify for a special circumstances need. That means that you will be placed somewhere, relative to your need. This DOES NOT guarantee a spot in Des Moines. Owning a home here does not qualify for special circumstances as far as this year's lottery went. People with kids in school, a grandmother that you have to take care of, those burdens that need your direct attention qualify.

I would hate for you to make your decisions on anything other than on info that is provided by the school so that's all i'll say. if you find out, i'm sure some other folks would like to have some knowledge.

ciao

Thanks for the update. :thumbup:
We like it when the second years speak up once and a while.

pathology - study of suffering; see also 1st year of med school

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ets0xkUk17Y

Any second years want to chime in if the PATH book is worth the 100 bucks? Is the BRS path book better for the class or do you need that giant book to do well in the class??

I recommend it.
-While they basically read the book to you, you still may need check out what they're talking about in greater/better detail with the book.
- Every system that has pathology in it next year, uses that book.
- It's THE reference book for all thing pathological. Kinda like a dictionary is for words.
- $100 is a drop in the bucket for a kick butt reference book you'll use for life.

I feel like I got a can of peas for a brain after all the dumb mistakes I made on that last Micro exam. It said "Immunocompetent" not immunosupressed!

Thank God DMU is still open today... 330+ closings in Des Moines, including Drake, and DMU is still open. WTF!?

I know it sounds whiney... I just haven't had a snow day for like 10 years! :(

haha I was actually going to say, is it just me or is DMU the only place open in Des Moines?

I think it is hilarious how DMU is "open" yet we are continuing to receive emails stating that such and such department is closed due to people being unable to get here :) Having Outlook open at 0800 was hilarious this morning.

Here's the $hitty thing- if I didn't have PD lab today I wouldn't freakin' be here either. God help them if they cancel that at the last minute...

I'd say there were probably 50 people in lecture, maybe 60 for phys. And Dreyvenko (sp?) didn't make it until 8:35. Funny, he probably thought that DMU would be CRAZY to have classes today too.

I woke up to the news reporters pleading with people not to drive anywhere. I guess only DMU students are on the roads...Only the best and the brightest are out in this weather. Hey DJ, you got a half snowday yesterday before the weather even hit and most of us were on our way home anyway.

Back in undergrad. we had this huge winter storm move in the early morning, something like 9" dumped in a matter of 2-3 hours (right before class would have started). The state declared it an emergency and asked that only necessary travel be conducted. Even Walmart closed (as someone who used to work there, that is saying a lot). So, one of the only institutions to stay open, our college. What made it worse was that 45% of our class didn't live on campus haha. They got a lot of backlash from that.

Yeah the DOT road report said, "travel not advised" for most of the main highways. Some roads were closed.

Freak...my back window faces I-80 and it's a ghost town. I think only inbound is open but outbound (To Omaha) is closed. Or people aren't dumb enough to jump on the white wash. That is of course, unless you go to DMU. It's hilarious!

Anyway, I jumped in my new ride (minivan) to cruise down to the post office but had to stop because I couldn't see a damn thang and my engine was freezing up! I had to return my ride and jump on my Tauntaun. Made it only half way when Shirley, my tauntaun, died from the exposure and I had to cut her open with my lightsaber and slide my wife and children inside her guts to keep them warm. They are fine now but I got my arm chewed up pretty bad by that damn snow monster. We were fortunate though, because a speeder on patrol spotted us and we were saved. :thumbup:
Anyway, nice call there DMU. Nice way to keep cramming path/phys despite the "you are a dumb ***** if you are on the roads today/unless you have a tauntaun" warning. Anyway, back to the 360..oh I mean...physiology. Later.

BTW, why the hell do we live on the planet Hoth anyway?

Good luck studying.

LOL!
Just got in to school today and had to tell this sweet story...
Driving down the 235 going about 60 when all of the sudden the car 2 lanes over decides to swerve over and nearly takes me out cutting in front of me. Typical right?:rolleyes:
Anyway, we take the same exit and we stop at the light....I glance down at his Iowa license plate and around it states:

"Is this HEAVEN??? No, It's IOWA!!"

:barf::laugh: :laugh:
Perfect way to start of a LONG day. :thumbup:

hahahhaha that is a typical Iowa driver right there.

Wow, I feel dumb. I'm going to bed...

P.S. My butt hurts-

I'm guessing from the GI section. Renal -> GI = night and day

I'm guessing from the GI section. Renal -> GI = night and day

Is it just me: does anyone else get lazy and just not study as much as they should? Like I study to get the main concepts down but, the little details that are on the exam, I just don't concentrate on. Eh, maybe I just need to stop being lazy :) .

Wow. I'll never claim to be the brightest student here, but the GI questions far exceeded our current level. I could've studied more, but I still would have missed roughly the same number of questions from GI. I'm guessing the test writer is quite pleased with himself right now, since they finally "broke" our class.
Check the scores....it was brutal.

My grade is atrocious purely because of the GI questions. On the questions missed, it reads like a list.... 28, 29, 30, 31, 32.....etc.

I'm glad we won't have him again for Phys.

No kidding, I feel the exact same way...that test was freaking rediculous....:thumbdown....oh yeah...jbone...IOWA=(idiots out wandering around)

Good thing you didn't come over and watch the Jazz game tonight...freakin playing like a bunch of 'gines. Pissing me off. I almost threw my laptop at my tv just a second ago :mad: . That and 0.5 hours of sleep last night, rapage this morning and getting pwned with my spal today. YES!! HELL YES!!! Give me some more!! Man I wish we had at least 3 more tests this week. I love it!!

ok, back to path (well, sort of)...ok to sleep then.:laugh:

BTW, FEAR THE WEBER STATE WILDCATS!!!

I just looked at it now and I have to agree, mine goes in a list starting at 31 without skipping too many questions in between. I truly got owned by this test. I guess my dreams of being the youngest cardiovascular surgeon on the East Coast are gone...haha.

Yeah, mine gets bad right at question 37 and continues in a downward spiral.

I would love to know what the average score was for just the GI portion of the test.

Congrats to the SOB who only missed 1 question. I bow down, because I honestly have no idea how someone could do that. Congrats!

It was only the second test all year that someone didn't get a 100 on (the radiology was the other one). However, I must admit, I DON'T wish I was that SOB because then I wouldn't be able to watch as much Family Guy as I currently do. But, with the grade I got from this test, I now need to buckle down to get a respectable score; maybe they will give us back 10 points (oh the days of bev. medicine).

Yeah... I thought I knew my stuff. I was a freaking phys major in undergrad. This test blew me away!!! That was truly bull crap! The best part is... dispite the stupid questions, I thought that I stood a shot at thinking them out. Not a chance. I was shocked when I looked at my grade. My list is pretty inclusive as well. This test put a huge dent in what I thought would be a decent grade.

I really think that Henry was just pissed because most of the class didn't go to his lectures.

the test definitely sucked, and i know that there was atleast one question where there were two answers possible. If you look at the breakdown it will be all GI for sure, that's the ones I missed as well, and it's not that I didn't know the concepts or ideas. It's much more enjoyable when someone legitimately tests your ability to understand the concepts vs. trying to make the question so it's so confounding you don't even know what the heck it's really asking.

EXACTLY!

:thumbup: :thumbup: :thumbup:

Any question longer than this: hello, I am a question, what is my answer?
Is just wrong.

Also, I hate these questions: hello, what is my answer:
A)I don't have an answer
B)my answer is anything but not an answer, or maybe its not
C)Are you confused yet as to my answer
D)Choices A and B are correct
E)Choices A and C are correct
F) All answers are incorrect

We just need to do away with those.

I just found out some more depressing news for anyone wanting to go into EM. I used to find solace in the fact that it wasn't as hard as cardiovascular surgery to get into a residency spot but, I just learned that only 32 spots were not filled in the Match (6 allo, 26 osteo). My future is looking great!! I am going to now slit my wrists.

Yah, I am really not looking forward to his lectures from now on. Hell, I went to class and studied what he said would "be good to know" and still got burned-

Soundman, totally agree with you: test what we actually know, not whether we can think what the questioner is thinking. I left the test frustrated because I KNEW that I knew the material but that test didn't gauge our understanding of GI physiology well at all...

One more day gentlemen (and ladies?), we can make it! What is everyone doing for Spring Break? I'm going to New York- No girls gone wild in Cancun for me...

Alright....start your engines! Who is down with an ALL-NIGHT-ATON???!!

Not that Xavier is great or anything, but I would've been very impressed if BYU would have pulled it out.

I'm just happy to see Stanford get completely owned, so that the world can see they didn't deserve to be there, yet alone receive an 11 seed.

just reviewing this 20 page SUMMARY :rolleyes: that Bilbo Baggins gave to us. Brought to my mind a scene from Beetlejuice. He gets mad because they left him, so he turns and kicks over the model tree in the cemetery. Then he yells "HEY, NICE F#^$#ing MODEL!!" (While he grabbing his crotch with a honking sound). This is me "HEY, NICE F#^$ING 20 PAGE REVIEW!!!" **honk honk***:thumbdown

Man, I need another monster. (puff puff)

haha hey, the reviews are better than reading 900 ****ING SLIDES. Esp. when half of them are just abbreviated with very little flow from one to the next. I just wish I had my SPAL last week so I didn't have to spend time studying for that as well. After my lovely performance on the physio exam, I was looking for something positive to go into break with.

looks like Jbone died, WUSS!!

i got yer back, there's always time for sleep... later.

i got yer back, there's always time for sleep... later.

Did I mention I hate having two exams on the same day? I feel like I am going to be looking for the chief complaint when they ask about an elevated PT time... plus, all the good cartoons have gone off the air, I am left with Pokemon. I need drugs to watch this show.

looks like Jbone died, WUSS!!

Dude, not a wuss. Actually just pulled into the school. Sat in the parking lot since 4 am. :laugh:

Made it all night but I'm tired. What will I be doing this break? Sleeping...:sleep:

Just a little reassurance for you guys this morning...

Path blows! Don't sweat your grade on the first exam though. If it's structured like it was last year, you will get a bunch of points back b/c they profs can't figure out how to right fair questions. Also, second exam is much easier & everyone will do fine on it.

Rheum/Ortho on the other hand...

Overall, good job everyone.

At the ER by us, they give a lot of physicals (don't ask me why people decide it's a great idea to go there for them) so I probably wouldn't go into ER unless you can work that eye thing out, Jamers.

Oh wait...

MY EYES ARE DYSFUNCTIONAL! Anyways, they told me I can keep both eyes open now so stare away I will, right into your freaking soul...that is kinda scary. Hope everyone is having fun on their breaks!! What am I doing on SDN?? I got some cyber cafe time!! hmm, cyber....where is soundman when you need him??

I got the acceptance e-mail on 3/16! I interviewed on March 1st...and jbone you were my tour guide. Now, I just have to commit and send in the deposit...ONLY 500 :eek:

I may be retarded, but what are you guys talking about?

I can only close my left eye while keeping my right eye open, not vice-versa. I am only of only a handful of people I know about with this dysfunction ahah.

Anyways, anyone else out there get stranded and unable to get home? I called Dr. Woolley today and was told that I was one of three to be left in the dust. Jbone, come get in your super powered van. I will see you all Tuesday morning, joy!!

soapbox time

Did anyone else read through the Innominate about class attendance. The arguments that attendance should be mandatory where "re-freaking-diculous." I don't remember "committing" to attend all classes when I decided to come here. And we "all have the same things going on thoughout the week."??? I didn't know everyone here was married, had kids, just delivered a baby....etc.
And whoever said the idea that "I can learn more on my own" is simply bogus, must have a new diffinition of bogus. If bogus means you retain more and get better grades and can have a clinically related discussion about the topic, then not going to class is bogus. You HAVE to learn on your own, no one else can do it for you, so do it your way.
Not going to class doesn't mean you are home sleeping in or wasting time, but using that time in a way that works best for you

No doubt. That person is obviously a tool. He/she is just mad because they went to every lecture, ran down after to kiss the professor's *****, dropped them an email daily trying to sound like they are so diligent and go and drop a 65% on the exam. :laugh: And it makes them mad because people are able to pick and choose when to go to class and they get in the high 90s and actually UNDERSTAND the info.

agreed boney, and I go to class 90% of the time (who knows for how much longer...) There were some great arguments against mandatory attendance in that article, but the ones for mandatory attendance were pretty awful.

Also, seems that the stricter schools (i.e. dress code and mandatory attendance) seem to have more unhappy students voicing their displeasure on SDN than those that don't *ahem LECOM ahem*

For whatever that's worth...

We should count this down every day. :thumbup:
Stop posting at the exact same time as me jbone! I know you are trying to be just like me-

ya'll need to get in line behind the king of not going to class for DMU 2010. The originator of, "8am class? How about 2 more hours of sleep?" Bow down to Jamers.

On a more serious note, has anyone seen the majority of people that actually do go to class 95% + of the time? You know, the people that play on myspace or watch videos the entire time? How in bloody hell are they getting anything out of being there? Anyways, off my soap box now.

It's not just rote memorization, but rather that four different names are used to describe the same freaking tract or accumulation of cell bodies. Once a person figures that out, it does help a little bit, but my anal nociceptors still hurt.

Now GO STUDY. ;) I, myself, am hard at work procrastinating studying for our dreaded bacT exam (postponed from today due to a nor'easter) and the not-so-dreaded endocrine exam (which is far more critical for some folks to pass ..

BTW, why the hell do we take our exams on a scantron when it takes them 4 months just to get us our scores?? It's like some old lady in some dark room grading them by hand by holding the scantron up against a flickering candle light. But I guess it was nice of DMU to give dj's mom a job.

(I kid...don't hurt me you freakin yeti)
Freaking awesome quote jbone: Best movie EVER (next to star wars of course).

Yea, it's probably really tough running 250 papers through a machine within 8 hours of getting them. Think of all the paper cuts...

P.S. Momma DJ needed a change of scenery after the immigration raid at the local Swift Plant...

Man, I'm getting sick of PD.

"Just know what is these specific pages"
I'm thinking...COOL!!

Wrong. 10 pages of sure hell on the abdomen with about 600 tests to memorize. Ok, I'm officially BURNED out! Halo anyone?

I can't be the only person that felt that meeting today was the biggest waste of time. All they did was re-hash what they previously said in August. Thank God it was only 30 minutes.

I also lost a little confidence in those guys, but maybe I'm just being a little bit over critical.

I would agree with both of those statements. Basically they told us, don't worry about it yet 15 times.

Yea, the message they beat us over the head with a dozen times today definitely could've been sent to the class as an e-mail. The only good thing I got out of the meeting was knowing the rough date that we start rotations (aug 4th 2008)

Except for the 1/3 (~70) of us who apparently will end up in some sort of bind with our start date.

Yea, not the best way to instill trust in the dept by saying things like "some of you will be nowhere near where you wanted to be when you start rotations... but we'll let you know when we know."

Oh well, I'm not gonna stress about it now- there's more pressing matters for me (haven't even gone through all of PD yet.) I'm crazy...

As a member of the 2011 entering class I was reading some of the posts about the rotations meeting. Has any new light been cast on the future of DMU clinicals? I'm mostly curious about Ohio and Michigan sites since that's where I'm most interested in going. Are they limiting these sites? Or is it more about sites being created in Iowa? Any info would be greatly appreciated.

The meeting pretty much said that the clinical situation is always fluid. They are always adding new sites and some are dropping.

They said that they are slowly trying to phase in the Iowa slots.

They didn't mention the Ohio or Michigan core. I'm almost certain that those sites will be around for years to come.

I thought that they were at least going to give some further insight into what was going on. Seriously, was that really a mandatory meeting? I think that meeting actually left me feeling MUCH worse about the whole situation. I mean, I know where their sites were (for the most part) the last few years and figured I'd end up there, but the 'Some of you will get none of the sites you want' is probably not the best thing to say, although it may end up being true for some people, unfortunately. I realize things change, but it kind of scares me to hear that not only do we have no idea what's going to happen, but they actually have no idea what will happen. The school has been around for 100+ for God's sake.

By the way, how did you guys and gals do on the heart sounds this morning?

By the way, how did you guys and gals do on the heart sounds this morning?
Oh I did wonderful because I only looked at the normal heart sounds program on UMEDIC like they told us to. Funny how they didn't really talk about aortic stenosis on there though... or LVH...

Oh snap, class meeting on the 18th = ass chewage!

I can't wait to get yelled at! :(

I wouldn't worry about the rotations. They are good now and I am pretty sure that not much more will change during our time here at DMU. He was quoting about a 95% chance we'll get at least our top 5 slot. Which, from what I have heard from some of my 3rd year friends is actually low. None of them had any problems getting at least their top 3. So I think he was being conservative with that number. But yes, there will be some that don't get what they want...hence the term "LOTTERY". That is the way it is. It is the same with every other medical school out there without a fully functional hospital on campus and even alot of them get screwed. We just need to chill and it should work out.
As for the Michigan/Ohio swing...lets face it people, it's not going away for quite some time. Which is good because they have some pretty sweet locations. :thumbup:

BTW, this morning was complete bull crap. Do I have to pull up my Beetlejuice quote again???? Honk honk. Now it's time to load up on Phys and 20 lectures of Path. Man....I need a bed. :sleep:

Oh snap, class meeting on the 18th = ass chewage!

That my friends, is completely ridiculous. That is all I'm going to say. This morning totally threw me out of my groove for the start of the test. Not cool. But hey, you do what you gotta do. :thumbdown

I didn't even know what the heck she was talking about for the first 30 seconds. I will add, however, that if people are switching test forms, I can really only think of one reason you would want to do that. It's still not worth a class meeting though, especially the day before the path exam.

I actually heard of someone who had to move from Florida to New York over a weekend for their next rotation. Also heard a few other interesting circumstances. Maybe I'm just hearing the wrong things/talking to the wrong people though.

My thing is this...if you see someone doing that, you personally go up, grab them by their pubes and drag them outside and beat their *****. You don't yell at the whole class for something 1 or 2 people are doing. With the DPMs, that's over 300 people. It really took me out of the "zone"...if I ever had one. :laugh: I know I'd be dragging someone out by the short hairs if I saw someone doing that. The anger is understandable, but do something about it other than yell at everyone.

Ok, not the pubes but you catch my drift.

Am I ever going to study today...uhhhh we'll see.

That is my point as well, in that if you have an idea who is doing these things, don't go after the honest people too. In addition as jbone said, if you see something you are OBLIGATED to report it. It's that simple people. Nothing though surprises me these days, it just pisses me off that some of these people may be my colleagues later in life and they'll be thought of as equals to me, when they are nothing more than a bunch of haxs!

...hold up here....get yelled at...no thats not what I want! I would rather think that the people that did exchange forms or whatever they did would come out and say something...when was it ever allowed to even touch the tests before the exam starts.

"We will not lie, steal, or cheat, nor tolerate among us anyone who does."

I have always thought before this happened that the professors "believed" that by signing the honor code they could trust us to obey this simple and honest code and here some of our classmates are pluckin around with the test forms before the exam....STUPID!

This gives professors proof that they should not trust us with exams or even during a review secession. To think that this "belief" is still in our teachers with what has happened now is a farsight. No wonder they have been so cautious...the honor code doesnt mean anything to anyone...they just signed it becuase they had their nice white coat on and their parents were there taking pictures unaware that the code required some common sense.

Im sorry if I am a little emotional...The honor code has been instilled in me for quite sometime and should be given its full respect.

It's sad, the poor judgement of a few will likely cloud the faculty's opinion of our entire class for some time...

So your basically stating that because a couple of idiots don't know how to handle themselves, WE ALL SHOULDN'T BE TRUSTED???????????? Why shouldn't they trust us? I'm freakin 31 years old. I pay $32,000 a year to attend here. I moved 1100 miles away from my home with my wife and 2 kids to live here and get an education. I give this school my all everyday in hopes to one day be a great physician. Why SHOULDN'T they trust us??? You need to watch your blanket statement because 99.99% of us bust our balls everyday for the same dream and we DESERVE trust and respect because I think that many of us have tried to earn it. I do agree....this crap cannot be tolerated and the professors/faculty SHOULD TRUST US enough to follow the honor code. I'm done with undergrad drama.

I think everyone has the right idea here. My question would be: Do we even need an honor code? I mean, seriously, by your 20s (I realize some people are older) don't you think that you would learn that cheating is wrong, stealing is wrong, etc. I mean, I'm glad they have the honor code, but in all reality, it shouldn't even be necessary. We're in a professional school and people are still cheating, that's just ridiculous. What are they going to do when it comes time for the boards or worse yet, real life?

Oh, and does it scare anyone else that this was caught during a PHYSICAL DIAGNOSIS class??? I mean, I'm pissed to know that anyone would even think of cheating in any class, but PD is one that you're going to use every day when you practice. I'm just really mad over the whole thing and it makes my hard work, and the hard work of everyone else who takes their tests the right way worth that much less.

GUNIT2010:

"the honor code doesnt mean anything to anyone...they just signed it becuase they had their nice white coat on and their parents were there taking pictures unaware that the code required some common sense."

DON'T YOU DARE lump me in the same catagory as ANYONE. Restate your comments because your blanket statement is unacceptable.

These people that were cheating or whatever during this class, are hopefully a small minority of our class and do not reflect hopefully the majority of our class, although sometimes I wonder, with our leadership and the comments they made to certain OMM professors is this sort of attitude more prevelant and I am just an old naive 30-something with 3.5 kids?

Some may say that "we are in our 20's and don't need an honor code, etc" but obviously there are those that need to be reminded, and I think a HARSH punishment is definitely in store and deservedly so for those if there is proof.

The student honor code is just in place as a way of saying, "we told you not to do that," if you get caught doing something wrong. I personally think that cheating on the medical school level is disgusting and the people caught doing it should be immediately removed. Maybe I don't know every test or statistic for breast cancer but, at least I studied them. If you cheat, you learn nothing and that hurts your patients in the future; I would rather guess on every question than stoop to cheating. I am one of the more laid back people in our class but, I would not object to these people, whoever they are, being kicked out. I felt that being yelled at like that was a bit too far (made me feel like I was back in high school) but I am no less as upset as she was. I don't even have words to describe it. This should not be happening at this level of education; disgusting.

I joke around for a reason. My life hasn't been easy but instead of crying about it, I make jokes and enjoy life while I have it.

With things like this, I cannot be anything but serious. I am ashamed to call these people classmates.

Exactly what I was trying to say, just worded much better. When I said there shouldn't have to be an honor code I didn't mean that we should literally get rid of it, but rather that people should be grown up enough to know everything in the honor code. As Soundman said, that surely doesn't seem to be the case considering the situation this morning, as well as with other things that have happened earlier in the year.

In Soundman's reference to our 'student leadership', which I, as I'm sure many of you, use very loosely, it's a mess and I can only hope that things can go more smoothly next year. I consider myself a pretty laid back guy as far as joking around and stuff like that, but some of the things that have been done (i.e. email about the OMM dept., several other emails that have been sent and the situation this morning) have made me extremely mad at the select few who have chosen to abuse the system.

Ok folks. Here's the deal.

This morning I walked past my normal test row, dropped off my pencil, and took my bag to the front. I came back and a student had moved from where he was sitting on my way past. I asked them why they had moved. They replied that they had just been yelled at for moving a test. This person wanted Form B and not form A!!!!!!!!!

Now we have to deal with all this crap because someone wanted form B!! There was no intention to cheat. Just someone not thinking straight enough to change seats in the first place. I don't know if this was the only case or not.

I have confidence that our new leadership will be fantastic. Well, the Pres. election is still up in the air but the SGA is in good hands. But it is what WE make it. We don't need a title to be leaders in this class. Just a bat.
(Just kidding). I know if I see any crap like this year (emails, stupid crap)again next year, I will speak up if nobody else will. I will not have a few little scrubs ruin the reputation of the Class of 2010.

Jbone, SOUNDMAN...I apologize for the blanket that I put up there. It was obviously not directed towards you. I was hoping that it would show how the honor code is not being represented properly in a few individuals in our class. I made a huge assumption in that "anyone" is rather a small minority. I apologize to you and anyone else who took offense to my statement. I hope you realize though that this incident reflects our entire class as djnels01 points out. "Where we go one we go all"

It's all good, that is what I thought you meant.

BTW, we stopped listening to what dj says a long time ago. :laugh:
But it is true, I know next exam I'll be worried about looking guilty or something. I know I did it today. I was afraid to even look around the room. This sucks. It will become like the "soup nazi" where you have to walk in, sit down, and go in a certain format. Any mess ups=NO TEST FOR YOU!!!!

I will pay them cash money if they start putting our test grades up on the day that we take them.

If this is indeed the case it is incredibly sad. For us and the person(s) who were that stupid. There is a reason why they exams are alternated. Besides, why can't a person have a normal testing good luck ritual with a favorite pencil, eraser, or seat?

At least you still have your anonymity, I know these other people and it scares me.

All kidding aside, I am interested to hear what these "other things" are as well. I really hope it doesn't turn into the kind of talk I used to get from my parents when I stayed out past curfew in high school:

"We told you blah blah blah.... now you're losing priveleges blah blah blah... this is for your own good..."

That would get old REAL quick.

You know many people have rituals and stuff, you know we all do. But all of us know NOT to move the tests. It's just a given. Some of us look at which form they have and then move chairs to correspond to the correct form, if the form and chairs don't match, I guess your screwed. Point is, all of us look at the form, I don't think that is the problem though.

"When I woke up from my SECOND nap" :laugh: :laugh:

Wow, I'm clearly late to this onslaught. I just read the email roughly 15 minutes ago, and I was all revved up with a gigantic diatribe in mind. Unfortunatelly, all of you A-holes stole my thunder, and I'm relegated to simply saying, "I completely agree".

The most upsetting part was that she essentially lumped us all together as a bunch cheaters. If they knew who was switching tests, then simply remove them from the room. Throughout the entire test, I felt guilty....for absolutely NO reason. I'm the type that frequently looks up and stares off into the distance as I try to visually/mentally recall something......I guess I'll have to curb that from now on.

we are all pieces of crap, i had to go for a little extra time of silence before my test just to get refocused.

DMU: Because deep down, we are all just pieces of crap....


hahahahahahaha....:laugh: :laugh: :hardy: :banana: :lol: :d :bow:

I guess that PD exam went how I thought it would. I hope second year isn't like this (study this, but we will test on this, crap).

How are ya'll going to study for path??????????????????/

me=screwed

Read the book probably a little bit. And you know me, I've got a review book!!! I know I'm a freaking loser.

Yea, BRS path was my genius buy of the semester... pretty much explains the lectures much more completely and succinctly... I'll probably just read that-

Too bad I won't even be able to look at any Path until Monday. I'm just not one of those people that can study ahead when I have a test in a different subject in < 3 days

You are not alone little man.

BTW, I just looked and there are a million study guides on Judy in the '09 file. Nice.

Know about the Y chromosome and things that are involved with it. - Male Repro. Notepool, pg 13

What exactly do we need to know about the Y chromosome (that we don't already know)? Seems like this just came out of nowhere - it was not mentioned at all in the class notes? Yet it's bolded in the noteset...

Anyone listen to the lecture or go to class that day? I don't feel like listening to the mp3... I'm lazy, I know!

Hahaha.....I wouldn't even know what you're talking about, if it weren't for the fact that I just listened to that lecture and went through the powerpoint. I had to do a double take when I heard Finnerty say that.

Just check out slide 33 from male reproduction. He's joking, unless of course he really thinks it's important for us to know that there are genes on the Y chromosome for "ability to identify aircraft, spitting, scratching, sitting on the john reading, etc."

Notepool kind of failed you on that one.

I haven't gone through all of that yet but there are very few things on the Y chromosome, TDF (also goes by a few other names but testicular determining factor is what I know it by) being one of the most important.

Thanks, I had a feeling that he was joking... apparently a sense of humor doesn't copy over too well for notepool.

Hello 2010ers. My wife and I are heading up to DSM on May 2 to meet with some folks about housing and would like to know if anyone has a spare bed they'd be willing to lend us for 2-3 nights. We're trying to save some money because of the high cost of flights and we're still hurting a little from our wedding expenses. PM me if you're willing to put our poor @sses up for any period. Thanks

Thanks, I had a feeling that he was joking... apparently a sense of humor doesn't copy over too well for notepool.

No problem. Hell, it was hardly even a joke from the sounds of it on mp3, so I'm not surprised notepool was just as confused by it.

Just started reading this thread, you guys are pretty funny. I'm going to sound like a total idiot, but was that really Alanis Morrisette? That made me crack up. Also, I remember Alanis Morrisette being kind of nasty looking, but she didn't look too bad in that video (if that is her).

On another track, tommorrow I am starting the first day of my last week of rotations! My hours are 10-4 MWF. Or whenever I feel like showing up or leaving. And I take at LEAST an hour for lunch, when I sit and talk with the nurses and secretaries. ROTATION ARE WAY BETTER THAN THE FIRST TWO CRAPTASTIC YEARS!!!! Two things I found out that you might like to know. First of all, you are never as booksmart as you are right after you take step one. By the time you hit the end of fourth year/beginning of internship you have forgotten A LOT of stuff. Secondly most of the stuff you have to learn the first two years is either not important or only important if you go into internal medicine. For example, heart sounds. At the most you might need to be able to hear a murmur. Diagnosing by sound and location......not so much. Not when the cardiologist can bill for an eccocardiogram (sp?) and it's performed by a tech anyway. Neural pathways:laugh: :laugh: definitely not. And I just finished a month of Neuro and am now in a PM&R rotation.

I swear the only reason we had to learn some of that crap was so residents and attendings could get some strange joy out of pimping you on stuff they have not once used in clinical practice. I can't count the amount of times someone pimped me about the stupid coagulation cascade. Amount of times I've seen someone apply it in a useful situation.....ZERO!!!

Keep up the good work guys, it goes quick and it's worth it.

I'm gonna sound like a giant (l), but that was definitely a "pick me up" kind of post that I needed to hear. I know how incredibly quickly this first year has gone by, but I seriously cannot wait for 3rd year. I'm certain it's going to be sucktastic (especially for the first rotation or so), but good Lord, it has to be better than sitting in a lecture hall all day trying to stay focused, when it's soo much easier jack around on the internet.

So Thank You for reminding me that my life is pretty sweet.

On a side note: My pornstar name would be Edwin Northern Oaks......if only I had followed my childhood dreams.

Excellent post :thumbup: I just want to get out and actually start doing stuff. I am getting sick of learning mundane pathways that will most likely change in 5 years after they learn it was all wrong.

Well i just finshed learning those stupid pathways. Time for 3.5 hours sleep, get owned on phyiology test, then try to learn 20 pathology lectures in 3 day:eek:
Gotta love med school

That is an awesome pornstar name! I grew up on a couple of streets, so my alternate names would be Brad West or Brad Silo. I'm kind of fond of Brad Silo.

DJ, dude, tell your mom to stop waiting a day to post the test scores:eek:

heh, DJ's mom is the test poster. That's cool, but dude get her arthritis under control or something so she can post those scores so I can go on with my life. I mean it's a scantron and you load it up, should match up real nice, don't understand why it takes so long. They spoiled us first semester. I hear 2nd year is even worse.

DJ, dude, tell your mom to stop waiting a day to post the test scores:eek:

hahahahaha. Seriously, I think it is one old lady grading them by hand. Screw the scan-tron, Ms. Jigglebutt is 1/1,000th the cost...and the speed.

Anyone feeling the need to punch babies in order to work out the stress of all these damn tests?

DJ, dude, tell your mom to stop waiting a day to post the test scores:eek:

For the last time...it is his grandmama!!!

For the last time...it is his grandmama!!!
Yea, grandma is the lazy test-scorer, mom works at Big Earl's...

At this point, I don't even know why I look for my grade the same day as the test. We DID get spoiled last semester-

How bad is Path going to be on Thursday?

hahahahaha. Seriously, I think it is one old lady grading them by hand. Screw the scan-tron, Ms. Jigglebutt is 1/1,000th the cost...and the speed.

Yea, God forbid I'm in a nursery while studying for this test... baby punching rampage!

BTW, those study guides on Judy are good but they are not as detailed as they may need to be so if you use them, make sure you use the lectures to confirm their amount of detail. That is, if you have time. Which I don't so nevermind.

That sucked...

that is all.

I yelled at grandma about posting the test scores, but she said her artificial hip was giving her some problems this afternoon. She said she'd have scores up tomorrow by 10... :eek:

Over/Under for test scores being posted by 8 a.m. tomorrow?

Over/Under for test scores being posted by 8 a.m. tomorrow?
over. I'll say 9:30-

You were the winner dj! Don't tell me yo mama don't listen to you. That Path test was pretty ridiculous. I'm guessing that everyone missed their questions in a single section. that's where I lost all nearly all of my questions. Now doesn't it sound crazy when a single chapter taught by a single teacher can pwn every single one of us? And no 100%, something tells me some points will be coming back. Average was low too.

Have a relaxing weekend all, thanks dj's grandma for finally gettin' scores up.

jbone, I didn't know your daughter was such a mean landlord...

Freakin' hilarious! Have a great weekend everyone. UFC 70 is FREE this saturday night on Spike TV - booya!

Yeah, I don't know where I lost the majority of my points but, it was a huge change from the first test; and not in the positive way. I am not sure if it was just me or was it just the fact that we had a physio test three days prior so that made it hard to study? Either that or the questions sucked balls. Opinions?

Yes.

I don't believe those particular questions tested concepts but rather, do you remember every little minutae of detail that I through out there, but really didn't emphasize. It's funny because those questions of all of these are true BUT, are not typical board questions, because people know they suck and don't test concepts, or any real understanding of the detail. Oh well, it's over atleast, bring on geriatrics!!! Now where was dj's mom errrr.... grandma...:hardy:

wow official request, i wonder if there will be others that delete d/t official request. I see some posts that definitely lack some professionalism and I went back to mine to make sure they were "kosher". Hopefully we can have a good weekend, time to see some helicopters.

A little birdie told me about this thread; its clear that you first years enjoy your whining. Sorry to burst your bubble but it only gets harder 2nd year. You really need to chill or theres no way you'll last through next year and boards. You can choose to either accept that school is hard and gets frustrating and challenging at times or just keep on reacting to it the way you are and spend the next three years (plus however long residency turns out to be) being miserable and pissed at everyone.

Just my opinion, let the flames begin.

Dear whoeveryouare,
It's called venting and yes, many of us have crossed the line (including myself and I apologize). However, I think we will do just fine in second year and beyond thank you. There is nothing wrong with venting and joking around (or "Whining" because I'm sure your class never did) but I agree, it must be kept somewhat respectful and decent.

BTW, I will try to chill with my posts because I have crossed the line and that just isn't me. I just like to vent a little with a little humor and I didn't think it would offend anyone. Anyone who knows me KNOWS that I love this school and it's faculty and what it stands for. Don't hate me because I'm stupid and beautiful.

I love how the "experienced" students come in here and tell us that we aren't going to make it and how much harder it's going to be during the second year, and how all we do is whine. Funny how we heard same thing about those classes above us and how they were whiners as well.

Point is as jbone alluded to, it's a place to vent, but somethings got offline and that's been corrected by many of us including me. So for us that aren't gonna make it through boards or 2nd year, we appreciate your advice.

.

I go home for a couple of days and this is what happens.

I only ventured to your site after reading the DMU email sent out today. If you don't mind, I would like to say a few things.

1. Everyone always says that "the next year's harder." I've listened to a lot of students from more than one class. They all have said that every year has it's challanges, but that "this year" is really better than the last. (It could be because it's closer to the end!)

2. Every class gets in trouble for something. That's just the way it goes. Everyone has growing pains. This too shall pass. Things get better.

3. Don't allow someone to get to you. You all know that you will get through next year. You've gotten this far. I don't think the whole class, most of the class, or even 15% of the class will all of a sudden give up.

The main point of this post... Just hang in there!

Thanks TrophyWife! Sometimes I think we need a reminder that "this too shall pass" to help us out of our clouds of doom and gloom that we impose upon ourselves from time to time...

33 days left! Oh yea, UFC 70 is on in 45 minutes... I'm pumped-

ophidianben: I appreciate your comments, however, I would also appreciate not being pigeon-holed as a whiny member of the class of 2010 due to the comments of a few of my classmates. There are bad apples in every bunch including yours, you should realize this and be careful not to offend too many people.

To incoming/prospective students and peers at other schools: I assure you that the words of the few do not represent the vast majority of DMU-COM's Class of 2010. We are proud to be at a great school, full of great students who love what we are doing and act in a respectful manner deserving of our future profession.

For my classmates: I understand your frustration with classes, the sarcastic humor and need to vent. However, this is a public forum. Writing here is different that writing an email or talking in the hallway. Your posts are annonymous to most, so they represent your 200+ peers as much as they do you, something that it appears you failed to consider. We have all worked hard to get to where we are today, and the negative reputation you have succeeded in promoting is a slap in our faces. If you feel the need to vent by means of dirty jokes, etc in the future I encourage you to do so, however, please refrain from doing it in a public forum. I do not care to think of what opinions these posts may have impressed onto incoming and prospective students.

I am tired of being labeled as a whiny, unprofessional DO '10. While we are learning how to become physicians lets try to learn how to also act like physicians.

I'm officially stepping down off of my soapbox now.

:laugh: :laugh: :laugh:
Ok, now this has officially become LAME.
Thank you.

**destroys soapbox**

Cheesehead...
WOW! I obviously have nothing to defend. I have never posted on this site before today & I am not a DMU '10er, but maybe you need to take your own advise & let things "roll off" as you put it. I don't think there is any need to take yourself quite this seriously. Yes, in an ideal world everyone should be professional, but in the real world that is NOT the case. Just to give you my credentials, so that you take me seriously. I am a business grad. I have worked at fortune 100 companies and was the VP of a company. If you think that is the way the real world is and what you are going to find on rotations, I would suggest bringing ear plugs with you on surgeries, in the ER, outside of many patient rooms, and in OB on call rooms. Sorry hunny, life ain't like that. To paraphrase a well known icon, who the heck are you to throw the first stone? Wait until you get further in your education and medical career. People are allowed to criticize their place of work or the place they attend school. Trust me when I say I have seen DMU (the school as an entity) sully their own image professionally. I will not post the laundry list, but it is there. Every school and every business has one. No one is perfect. Please do not try to hold yourself, your fellow students, and your university to a standard that is not obtainable. It will only lead to heartbreak.

To incoming students that might be checking this site, DMU is as good if not better than any other school. You need to interview and meet the faculty & students to decide if it's a good fit for you. If you make your decisions based on an on line forum, you are only cheating yourself. DMU has a good reputation, and I challenge you to find a school that has 100% satisfaction all the time. It would be like finding a profession that has 100% satisfaction rate... It's not out there! If you find one, they're lying and I'd stay away!

Cheese,

I haven't said anything on here that I wouldn't say in person, I have not said anything bad about the university. I haven't denegrated any individuals, only stating that how an unnamed lecturer asked questions on a pathology test is not indicative of normal board type questions.

So my point is that yes this is a place to vent about our medical school, about a test that we just had in medical school at DMU, that others may read. It's about real things that go on at DMU and what medical school is like for the average real medical students and how we get frustrated sometimes. So it does tell the story about "real health professionals" and their journey towards that goal. That's all I did and many others.

You calling out individuals is flat out ridiculous, we all got the e-mail, changes were already done and posts and apologies were made. You bringing up specifics is uncalled for and you owe those people an apology.

You can PM me here, I don't need a special e-mail address to get a hold of me. Heck you can talk to me about it at school, most everyone knows who I am.

/me gets off my soapbox

Well said trophy wife

I apologize if I have offended any of you out there and if I may have lashed out somewhat too much, that was not my intent. I know that you all work very hard, take school very seriously and will someday make excellent doctors. It was also not my intent to be a "father" or "throw the first stone." I am quite aware that the real world is not perfect and that professionalism is not found everywhere. I also don't mean to say that I am always as professional as I should be but I think it is something that as future physicians we need to aspire towards.

I am very very tired and frustrated at getting an email every week from Dr. Mueller telling us all yet again how someone did something to make us look bad. I'm also tired of DAILY hearing second years, DPMs, PAs and DPTs make comments about our class. We have gotten ourselves under the spotlight fair or not, and I think we all just need to try to show everyone that we aren't a bunch of whiners and that we are professional.

Well said trophy wife

Thanks... There's a reason why I'm called Trophy Wife. It's because I listen, I care, and speak my mind. :love:

Ahh now this I believe and can even agree with. The point is that it was the second years or 09ers that had our place last year. They were the "whiners" when it came to tests etc. It's always the first class it seems, it does get old though after awhile, when we know it's not true. Oh well, i guess let it die and get through the last 5 weeks.

Yeah...May 24th can't come soon enough.

Man, this thread was more exciting than the UFC was tonight. Cro-cop lost! :( that sucks-
