what about horseradish

I think horseradish is ok. I've never heard of anyone getting food poisoning from horseradish. The red kind can be pretty messy too though. It's probably best to stick to the white kind.

Had to post here to let you guys know that Mayo found out about the post war via LAman! 😱

...and I had to post in protest on their thread and had to balance that by posting here, lol
 
Hey Guys,
Does a rejection from UP also means a rejection from CCLCM? or are you still in the running for CCLCM?

No, the admissions decisions are separate. There are several people in my class who got into CCLCM but were rejected by the UP.

Not a traitor, I swear! I think I made the right decision applying to Mayo and Case (amongst other schools), because of the high post counts in those threads. If I had to do this whole thing over, I would only apply to schools with 1200+ posts in their threads.

There aren't enough 1500+ post schools, so I would be limiting myself too much with a 1500+ minimum. Although I'm not sure how many 1200+ schools there are either (and I'm too lazy check). I feel I should mention that the Mayo thread has over 10,000 more views, so Case needs to step it up in that department to really overtake the lead.
 
Now the rating standards have been changed eh? I then propose that the thread that mentions "eggplant" the most shall win. :meanie:

You guys are too much. :laugh:

I just wanted to remind everyone who is interviewing at either program tomorrow/in town/current students in either program about our happy hour at Table 45. Table 45 is on the bottom floor of the Intercontinental Hotel (across the street from CCLCM on Carnegie, NOT the Intercontinental Suites Hotel on Euclid near the Taussig Cancer Center). It turns out that the happy hour runs from 4-6. I'm thinking we will still meet between 4:30 and 5 so that the interviewees can change out of their suits and vc7777 has enough time to ask all of his questions. :meanie:

Anyone who wants to stay for dinner afterward can do that. I probably will. Somehow, that happens every time I go for happy hour, because the appetizers are just enough to make you realize how hungry you really are....Again, anyone who is in town for interviews that day or current students or applicants who live in Cleveland and just want to come hang out, feel free. It's going to be fun. Look for the big group of happy eggplant-eaters, and I'll be the one wearing scrubs because I'm coming to CCF straight from my ED shift and I'm too lazy to bring a change of clothes. 😳
 
Just a weather warning. Rain is expected on Monday night, Wednesday night, possible snow + rain Thursday night, and rain on Friday night. Why all the nights? Could it be related to a certain nightshade?

weather.com predicts rain every day this week, but lows reaching the high 30s/low 40s toward the end of the week. So I don't think we'll have to worry about snow, but yeah, definitely bring your slickers.

I'm just happy that my landlord has finally turned the heat on. :soexcited:
 
is cleveland cheap enough to buy your own apt or condo? or is that a bad investment in the city of cleveland

I mean, I'm not cleveland realtor, but I think it's a buyers market in Cleveland. Very very low prices currently and I still think has a ways upward it could go away from its stereotype of being a "dead steel city" and seeing some good growth and increased demand.

I decided not to buy, but several other students did. I think if you're planning to stay here long-term (like, do your residency at UH or CCF and maybe work at one of those hospitals for your first job), it makes a lot of sense to buy. Prices are really cheap right now, and you could probably get a steal that would appreciate significantly in the long term. But if you're thinking that you'd just buy for 4-5 years while you're in med school and then move halfway across the country for residency, I don't think I'd do it. There's not a lot of time between graduation in mid-May and internship orientation in late June, and the housing market may not have recovered by then. If you have to sell in a hurry under pressure, you could end up losing money. Plus, I can't imagine how hard it must be to be an absentee landlord while you're a resident, or even worse, be paying two different mortgages in two different cities at the same time!

Yeah, but at least 3,000 of those are stray google hits from people looking to score some Hellmann's

Yeah, some people were talking big a while back in the Wayne State Univ. Thread about buying a house in Detroit just while they were in school...not a good idea for the average med student.

Yes, unfortunately, although the UP does offer some scholarships and need-based aid. But there will still be people who get stuck taking out loans for the entire $300,000 bill over four years. 🙁

Houses in Detroit will only continue to depreciate, no matter how good the economy gets. :meanie:

[starting topical conversations to keep the thread count high...]

I personally don't want to ever be in private practice. No offense, it's just not my bag.

I've had chances to start up and be a member of small companies before and have also watched family members go into private medical practice. I have seen some of the...headaches...of day-to-day operations. I guess this part of medicine does not appeal to me, regardless of the allure of a higher salary and "personal independence". Maybe if I had an MBA or other business background?

Anyways, I like the idea of an urban hospital or tertiary hospital that attracts the mundane AND the unusual.

I'm biased, as I grew up very close the the oldest closed, salaried medical staff hospital in the country. Plus, I understand that the doctors at that hospital, short of negligence, are not the defendants in litigation because they are employees of the hospital.

I'm with you on that one. One of the reasons that I'm considering the field of anesthesiology. A lot of times, too, they are able to be involved on a small but high level of hospital administration and making better, informed choices for the hospital.

...but maybe that's my way of trying to find some use for my econ major, lol

I don't, either. I'm not necessarily dead-set on working at a university, because a private hospital like CCF or even (gasp) Mayo that offers both strong academics and solid clinical care is also a good environment. Plus, I like teaching, so going into private practice is kind of out for that reason as well.
 
lol I do feel bad for Michigan lately sports-wise. Less for Tigers fans and more for Lions fans.

...though you guys still have those Red Wings who contend every year!

Interesting. Well, my lure for private practice/entrepreneurship comes from my dad who didn't have much education (high school) but worked his way up and started his own successful business. After college, I was doing my own little business too which solely supported me for a couple of years before I found an office job 2 years ago.

I have shadowed doctors in private practice and I see a good deal of myself in them. I'm not sure what life as a hospital employee entails. I guess I'll find out in med school and residency.🙂
 
ive only had academic experience, i wanna see what having a nip tuck practice would be like
