You let me know that I am no creep

Posted 11-20-2009 at 04:53 PM by Klemptor (Bzz Bzz Bzzzz)

Went shopping last night for a new suit for interviews (my last one doesn't fit me anymore - it's way too big!) and a dress for my ten-year high school reunion. The suit cost $400 and it's gorgeous. The dress cost $60 and I look smashing in it. I still haven't decided about shoes for either. Wish I could wear my Docs but they're completely inappropriate...it would be memorable though

I went to the doctor today for a checkup and when I was there I ran into a guy I used to take...

Supplemental material

When I sent in the checks, I put my AADSAS# and name on it. You can check with your bank if they cashed it or not. And I think putting your SSN or AADSAS is enough information.

Thank you.

It's the Business

Posted 11-15-2009 at 01:22 PM by phungus

I took Kaplan's free practice MCAT last week. It wasn't set up like the real exam. The MCATs are computer based and Kaplan had booklets and scantrons. Since I obviously was not going to get a real test day simulation, I figured at least I'll get a feel for the timing. The proctor then explained that we would have ten minutes less than the allotted time for each section in order to save us 30 minutes.

It was difficult, no lie. We didn't even do the written portion of the exam and those...

October Already

Wow time sure does weird things when you are too busy to notice, the leaves are changing, the air is cooler, it's getting dark earlier and I am still doing well in medical school, and liking it! Go figure.

So We are now in the final couple of weeks of biochemistry and I have to say I learned a bunch and have truly enjoyed this class. Was it a lot of work? Sure it was but it wasn't so intense that you couldn't take a breather from time to time. My average...

Enjoying the Process

Posted 11-14-2009 at 07:55 PM by 2000 Man

September 10, 2009

The best thing about being in medical school this time is being able to really enjoy the process of learning medicine. As we study the various biochemical pathways that make up our body's metabolic system I am really understanding it and able to relate it to the "bigger picture" and it is exciting to be so jazzed about learning again. I really feel as though I am grasping and integrating the knowledge in a way that I will be able to use as a physician....

interview attire

Posted 11-13-2009 at 09:26 PM by Miradautas Vras

Just curious. Would blazers [ black] with appropriate shirts and khakee/grey pants do? I have a dislike for full on suits and tend to prefer blazers.

Into the abyss

Posted 11-12-2009 at 11:01 AM by The Hippocratic

Into the abyss

Back in bedlam, the chaos ensues. The ward I am currently working on has a number of different types of patient; some transient cases - fresh faces recently admitted and soon to bode farewell, whilst others have been lying in their beds for far longer than I have been in clinics. As I tag along on the morning rounds, I notice we become a point of interest. They lay there helplessly chained to their drips, watching silently as we continue the daily ritual. I carry on...

Delete?

Posted 11-11-2009 at 05:04 PM by phungus

I wonder why I deleted my past entries.

I have another blog, but can't seem to find anything to post. I've decided to come here and give my writing a try. Let's see how long I keep this post up before deleting it.

I guess I feel more comfortable posting here because it's SDN and all I can think about is studying for MCATs and getting into med school. Sometimes I worry about this topic getting old on my original blog. Perhaps, I'll post a link to this and if my readers,...
