SoCuteMD 01-01-2003, 08:10 AM uhh why did they lock up the other thread?
Threads now get closed when they get over 1K posts.
We need a more interesting name for this thread.
Dr. Will 01-24-2007, 08:33 PM Both are great programs that I will rank in my top half. Dr. Mattu is simply awesome and reason alone to go to UofMd.
Dr. Will 01-24-2007, 08:35 PM Sorry to hear that too.
In a way i'm happy that my girlfriend isn't in medicine. She wants to go to pharm school in a year and my top 10 all have at least 2 pharm schools in the area.
If it wasn't for her I don't think I would have looked at Cinci as closely as I did. There once was a time their peds program was her number one choice, but no longer.

Dr.McNinja 01-26-2007, 12:02 PM Have I mentioned lately that I love 4th year.
Went in this morning to find that I had no patient (d/c'ed to heaven). Sat around for 5 hours waiting for consult pager to go off. Gave up and went home.
There are 3 4th years on the service right now, and none of us are doing anything.
I was thinking of new avatar as well....
What do you think?

Or maybe I should use this as my avatar?

You didn't have a drastic name change, so it isn't confusing at all.
EM2BE 01-26-2007, 03:25 PM Awwww...they usually do it once a year.
I wanted to change it because a classmate found out who I was (lost my hidden identity). I haven't posted in the thread I know they visit lately, so it would be a good time to change it...
SoCuteMD 01-26-2007, 03:28 PM You didn't have a drastic name change, so it isn't confusing at all.
Yeah, but I tend to associate people with their avatar, so I didn't know if that might confuse people :).

If it's any consolation, someone posted a picture of me from an SDN gathering identifying me as my username even though I SPECIFICALLY asked they not do so!!!

That sucks...my reasoning is because the person is a gunner...oh well if they read this...
EM2BE 01-26-2007, 03:37 PM I guess if they are that worried about me, then they can turn me in for nothing... stupid professionalism stuff at school. Just cause I'm going to be a dr doesn't mean I have to be professional in everything I do.

There have been "SDN gatherings?" That sounds like some sort of pagan ritual.
What happens at one of those, anyway? I imagine everyone looks totally different than you had them pictured, right? ;)

Haha...not quite a pagan ritual.
Actually everyone that I'd talked to regularly looked a lot like I'd pictured them, or I'd seen a picture somewhere before so I sort of knew what they looked like.

As far as what happens - we had dinner, and then went to a fun pub and drank (ummm...Irish car bombs, anyone? No? Tequila shots?) then went back to the hotel (we had rented a suite) and played drinking games 'til about 6 AM. Slept from 6 AM until about 10, and then did Dim Sum for brunch :).

Dr. Will 01-26-2007, 04:08 PM But I think Will still isn't speaking to me 'cause I broke the antenna :(
Yes I am...I've already forgiven you for breaking my two favorite threads.
Blue Dog 01-26-2007, 04:09 PM This pretty much says it all... :laugh:
"Ye should be tryin' the Green Chartreuse!" he said. "Tis more terrible than the screech of a Ring Wraith riding its steed down yer throat!" Green Chartreuse is a liqueur that was invented when Satan was tired of peeing in the mouths of the damned with his eight-headed penis. Charlie dusted off the bottle from the nether regions of the bar, and as he opened the bottle I heard the bark of Cerebus, faintly, but distinctly. It didn't pour into the glasses so much as it flowed, its color and consistency an exact match for the mysterious green chemical they use to charge porto-potties. I thanked him, tipped him generously, gathered up the shots and brought them to our table.
Mark went first. With great gusto, he hammered it down and actually died for several seconds. He then said it was terrible, but not that terrible, and it reminded him of being sick as a child, and taking over-the-counter medicines. The very same medicines now used in the production of methamphetamines, but I digress.
Brian was hesitant, but still knocked back the shot like a pro. His face melted onto the floor, and we helped him gather it up. When all the pieces were reassembled he pointed out the similarity between Green Chartreusse and straight Listerine. Needless to say, Brian's mouth was free of 99.85% of the germs that cause the gum disease gingivitis.
My turn. There's nothing worse than going last in any contest of pain. It's a lot like rochambeau, only everyone still ends up getting kicked in the nuts. I swallowed the syrupy greenish goo and found my mouth filled with the flavor of pine-needles and bat guano. Being a histrionic pussbag, I shuddered and shivered, my tongue briefly jumping from my mouth and trying to escape into the night through an open window. After I gathered my composure, I could only muster a faint squeak, and I could hear "Cat's in the Cradle" being played somewhere, signifying the loss of my childhood innocence.
To wash the taste from out mouths, we very quickly returned to our beers. I decided to ask Gimli what Green Chartruesse was made of. His actual quote was "Some herbs, some roots, and then they put something in it to make it taste like ****."
Yum! Rooty, herbal **** water. What a great way to start off the night.

Yes, it happens in real life. Normally if you tell them "Yes, now will you be quiet?" works beautifully to allow you to auscultate. :laugh:

Letting the cable go out in a 4th year med student's apartment should be a federal offense, I think.
Dr. Will 01-27-2007, 07:56 AM Well it hasn't been so bad since I've been interviewing and all of my favorite shows have been on hiatus. But now that they're coming back, I made sure I let comcast know how unhappy I was with the service.

Dr. Will 01-27-2007, 10:42 AM The one service I actually loved, because it also had a decent price, was DirectTv. It's just hard to get when you live in an apartment building that doesn't allow anything to be hung up outside.

Dr.McNinja 01-27-2007, 11:42 AM The one service I actually loved, because it also had a decent price, was DirectTv. It's just hard to get when you live in an apartment building that doesn't allow anything to be hung up outside.
Legally they aren't allowed to not let you choose a satellite provider. However, you have to fight them about it, and unless you're going to live there for a very long time (and I know you, like a lot of us, are moving in around 5 months), it isn't worth it.

Really? I would have to imagine they could easily not allow you to stick a dish on their building esp if it involves drilling thru their exterior walls..
EM2BE 01-27-2007, 12:01 PM An interesting story: http://www.komotv.com/home/video/5001856.html?video=YHI&t=a
Dr.McNinja 01-27-2007, 12:11 PM That is often how they are worded, but you can install them easily without drilling into walls. The hitch comes that you must have an exclusive area, such as a balcony, etc, and it has to face south. So, if you're on the northern side of a building, you might be out of luck.
However, if there is an antenna in the common area (such as the roof) that the landlord uses for multiple tenants, by law they have to allow individual ones as well.

Although my Dell is just 1 yr old, I'm thinking of getting a nice macbook pro once I start residency next year. Although honestly, I think a large/nice hdtv will probably be what I end up getting instead (unless I end up in Cinci where I could probably afford to get both.)

Now that my gf is making Cinci a better option now, she's found 4 pharm schools in the area she can go to, Cinci has become more of a possibility, which means getting both sooner. We'll see, i've go to stare at my ROL for about another 1000 hours before I decide between Cinci and 3 other places.

Here's my one big question. I will be buying, but I will probably be buying sometime in May/June. How do you work out the mortgage payments during that time and when that first check rolls in on July 15th or whenever?
Also, I'll be getting a new car too. Preferably one without a roof.

Define "upgrade." Adding RAM or installing a bigger HD doesn't count. You can easily do that with any laptop, Mac or PC.

Video card, new processor. But you are correct, there is very little you can do in the confined spaces of the laptop.
However, desktops are a completely different story, but since Mac realized that they were losing, they went to the IBM chipset that allows user customizations.
However, they still charge more for them. The exact same LCD that comes in white plastic often costs 10-20% more than the black plastic dell model, both of them using the same innards from Southeast Asia.

"Mac" isn't a company, BTW...it's "Apple."
And they didn't switch to "the IBM chipset." They were already using "the IBM chipset," which was the PowerPC (IBM and Motorola are both heavily invested in the development of PowerPC). Because of their failure to produce faster processors, however, Apple switched to Intel. It had nothing to do with "user customizations." You can pretty much do the same stuff with a PPC-based Mac that you can do with an Intel-based Mac, with the exception of running Windows without the need for emulation (and who does that?) ;)
It's one thing to prefer one computer over the other, but let's not perpetuate mythology.

I've used both Windows CE/Mobile/whatever its called today and Palm. I got Palm on my Treo 'cause I thought I'd need it to synch with my Mac. Silly me. My old Windows PDA synched just as well and I actually liked it better.

Now the iPod, I can't live without. I have about a 20 minute commute each day and use my 'pod to listen to EM:RAPs and EM Abstracts.
BTW, those two series are outstanding and now are free to all EMRA members. I highly recommend them. If your program doesn't pay your EMRA dues, this benefit alone would make joining worthwhile.

I spent 10 minutes arguing pharmacokinetics with a pharmacologist today. I finally looked at him and said, "I was a chemistry major, I know this stuff." He looked back at what I was pointing at, studied a little more, and goes, "You know...you are right..."

Dr.McNinja 01-29-2007, 04:03 PM Let's see, filming them in their underwear...check
Filming them tasing her nipple...check
You know, I bet the list of things they won't let them do is probably smaller.
I am *so* done with interview season. I have so much empathy for those that are still interviewing.
Dr. Will 01-29-2007, 04:42 PM Solidgold...I've got nothing but love for ya, but your avatar bugs me. If you're gonna use something Jack Bauer/24 related, it needs to be a little more hard core than just a "24" that does nothing. :D
EM2BE 01-29-2007, 04:52 PM So glad to be at a DO school right now. Perfect for the clutz I am...good ways to get free massages and fixed up completely. :)
Morning.
When are you changing your avatar? I don't like that one!
Ohhh....alright. How about this one?
SolidGold 01-29-2007, 04:57 PM Solidgold...I've got nothing but love for ya, but your avatar bugs me. If you're gonna use something Jack Bauer/24 related, it needs to be a little more hard core than just a "24" that does nothing. :D
It's an animated gif file, but I guess SDN doesn't allow for animated avatars. I can't find a good bad ass pic of Bauer killing someone to use on here.

If you can find one of Jack Bauer ripping the terrorist's jugular with his teeth...that would rock.
Hahaha...I thought SDN allowed animated gif files. Regardless...I'm just giving you crap. Less than 1 hr for 24 tonight, though! :thumbup:
SolidGold 01-29-2007, 05:02 PM I would have used this one, but Stamos ruined it for me.

Still ugly, but not as disturbing :).
EM2BE 01-29-2007, 05:04 PM I decided it was time to change my avatar as well
Dr. Will 01-29-2007, 05:05 PM I would have used this one, but Stamos ruined it for me.

:laugh: I saw that and only noticed Jack and Chuck, quickly thinking how is it possible that no one had used something like this before? But then I examined it further and noticed, not just John Stamos, but John Stamos as Uncle Jessie. I'm not quite understanding the connection. But it better be good to ruin what would otherwise be the greatest avatar on the planet.
Dr. Will 01-29-2007, 05:06 PM Still ugly, but not as disturbing :).
That's as good as you'll get for a wookie. Go for it!

Yeah me too. Although I guess I could finish all those thank you cards I'm behind on. Oops.
BTW...the avatar now officially rocks!
Dr.McNinja 01-29-2007, 06:17 PM nothing.on.television
I don't do the 24 thing. Sorry. No tv that requires me watching it every week to keep up until the Tivo fairy gives me a free series 3.

For $100, I'd do it.

I was so bored earlier I was rereading Clinical Applications of Blood Gases just for the amusement value (n= 0) :laugh:

Most EM folks no likey clinic. That being said, I much prefer night clinic which is all actue visits all the time to the horror that is the day's primary care clinic. I just don't like working a whole day of clinic and then going to night clinic. But then, I am a M4 and I am lazy. :cool:

Heh. Yeah, can't imagine why!
Dr. Will 01-29-2007, 07:46 PM It's funny, I'm doing a month of ortho right now. Two weeks in, I've scrubbed in only twice. The rest of the time I'm in clinic, which KILLS ME! I don't even get to splint since there are techs who can do it better and faster than I can. Clinic in the morning, clinic in the afternoon. That's my schedule right now.

Are you SERIOUS? That's ICKY. Why can't they let you scrub in?

Damn, that blows! I'd beg for more OR time to get out of clinic. My last 2 months of 4th year are required clinic crap. By then I will just be showing up physically and not mentally.
Leaving tomorrow for my last interview at Maryland on Weds! Yay!
Dr. Will 01-29-2007, 07:53 PM Are you SERIOUS? That's ICKY. Why can't they let you scrub in?
It's not that they won't let me scrub in, there's just a shortage of procedures. Trauma is low during the winter months in Chicago, so most of the procedures are elective (knee replacements, scopes, hip replacements). I was hoping to get more experience with EM style ortho, but like I said, there is little trauma this time of year.

I'll probably scrub in to a few cases tomorrow, but being in the OR quickly loses it's value since I'm second assist and feel too much like a 3rd year in there. It is kinda cool wearing the space suits for the total knees and hips. :D
Oh and SolidGold, enjoy MD. That place is sweet. I'm having issues trying to get the first half of my list b/c of awesome places like MD.
Sweet Tea 01-29-2007, 08:30 PM I avoided the ortho OR at all costs b/c we have so many damn ortho PAs that get to be first/second/third assist that I didn't even bother to scrub in. BORING.
Which is too bad b/c I really wanted to do some drilling and bone sawing. Ah well...I did plenty of sawing on my vascular surgery rotation. Weeee for BKAs and AKAs!

Dude insist on doing splints. WHO CARES if you are slow. It is a very useful skill. seeing post op patients is usually a waste of your time.
Here we have techs who splint but I learned a lot during ortho on proper splinting. Dont trust the techs.. the orthopods here dont.
EctopicFetus 01-29-2007, 09:49 PM BKAs... AKAs.. no shortage of bad bone going to waste..

Dr.McNinja 01-30-2007, 12:32 PM Video of what?
Seriously, some of our medical school videos involve porn. Ok, it is usually for psychiatry, but still. PRON!!!1!
EM2BE 01-30-2007, 01:22 PM I survived my day of kiddos!!! yay!!!
Dr.McNinja 01-30-2007, 02:22 PM Is it cold anywhere else?
I'm over this already.

Coldest day in Chicago that I remember in a long time. Makes my Chicago programs drop further on the ROL! :p

Oh, and I just looked at the temp. Wind chill makes it 3 degrees outside. The cold wins this round. My motivation to finally start going back to the gym tonight just got frozen to death by the thought of walking outside.

Dr. Will 01-30-2007, 04:59 PM Much better avatar wook
I always wanted to own a wookie or an ewok when I was younger.

I love it. I still get asked why I want to leave FL on the interview trail. It's because it's Heaven's waiting room, i'm tired of one season, and boarding up for hurricanes most years suck.
Now, if I can just get my hotel's toilet to stop running, I might be able to get to sleep.

Did you get your share of wings?
SolidGold 01-30-2007, 07:46 PM Did you get your share of wings?
Yep. I'm glad this is the last interview, because now I can force myself to go to the gym to lose the 12 pounds i've gained eating all the free dinners and beer, breakfasts, and lunches they feed us.
