PT2MD & StrengthDoc = Way too proud of Texas guys
PT2MD & StrengthDoc = Way too proud of Texas guys
Screw all those people bashing Texas. All they really know of the state comes from Politics and the News. If it makes you feel any better I think the NE smells like smog and piss, the mid west is too lazy/stupid to care about much, and the west coast is too stuck up and gay to notice anyone but themselves.
AHAHAHAHA!hahahahaha, did you seriously just steal the quote from the youtube comment and use it as a SDN post? 5 comments down on the youtube video? Wow... I'm speech-less.

Say what you want about the tenets of national socialism... at least its an ethos.Well that's just, like, your opinion man.
I wouldn't exactly call midwesterners lazy or stupid. We have some of the best public schools in the nation which are usually ranked up at the top with New England schools. And everyone talks about midwestern work ethic. Companies love to come to midwestern cities bc of the way work ethic is valued out here which might come from the agricultural background of our states. Just bc midwesterners don't rush around like their head just got chopped off yelling and being rude to everyone doesn't make them lazy. I wouldn't confuse laid back with lazy.
Houston is a damp hell. Dallas is the most pretentious city on earth, with the exception of LA. But I can find no fault with the ATX
What you just said makes no sense.
It wasn't lightrail, in general, that they were voting down. It was the crappy proposal that would ultimately result in a lightrail that got voted down. And none of what you mentioned has anything to do with liberal or conservative. I'd say that this place is pretty socially diverse.
I like it because it is a very active, outdoorsy town. Honestly, that is the most important thing to me.
I've got to say I also find it seriously amusing how you Texas folks get actually irritated if people admit they didn't like living there. Sad to say, but I've gotten in fights before because people got mad at me for saying I didn't like living in Austin. Why care if other people don't like your city as much as you do?
PCOM has 1) a larger alumni base
2) a longer history
3) an established reputation
4) is in close proximity to large academic hospitals
5) shares rotations with Jeff, Penn, Drexel, and Temple students...
Again, LECOM is a fine school, but it's no PCOM, IMO.
I'll give you three guesses where Mista Supreme went to medical school, but you're only going to need one.
Location? KCUMB < PCOM, at least to people used to living on the east coast. I don't think I'd want to live in the Midwest, the change of pace would be too much to deal with.
[Trying to pull the thread out of a nosedive]
Lot's of nice places to live out there gang...let's play nice. Hard for me to characterize certain areas as lazy, stupid, or otherwise. Hell I have a few folks in my own family meeting that description.
As for my beloved Houston being a "damp hell". Well that's just, like, your opinion man. It's my damp hell and I love it regardless.
We don't mind if you don't like it...by all means stay put. I do find it hilarious when folks complain about the weather. Regardless if you are a conservative or liberal, most people in Texas (read real men) stop whining about weather conditions after their testicles descend. Did you really get into a fight about Austin? Sounds like you are either very immature or lying. In either case you probably fit right in in your village.
I'm trying to bug out of this thread but ridiculous posts keep pulling me back in.
The "Midwest" isn't all corn fields and cows, you know.
KCMO is a fairly good-sized city and there is plenty of stuff to do there. Rumor has it that we have more fountains than just about anywhere in the world, except Rome. Personally, I think KCMO has a wonderful cityscape. Anyway, I practically grew up in the East Coast and near large cities, and I had absolutely NO problems adjusting to my new home in NKC. I really don't notice any significant pace difference.
Just curious, what do you think about the crime situation there? I believe KCMO was 6th in murder rates, and 4th in overall violent crime a year ago. I was shocked, I guess I did have the stereotype of the friendly farmer with a blade of grass hanging out of his mouth when I thought of the Midwest. Apparently I was dead wrong (no semi-pun intended). Once again, this wouldn't dissuade me from attending a school (hell, I'd go to Detroit, Baltimore, DC, Newark, etc.) but I suppose it should be somewhat of a factor in one's decision. I guess there's a lot of experience you could get in KCMO as far as trauma and emergencies go?
And yeah, Kansas City's got nothing on places like Newark or Detroit.
Lol, Kansas City has both a SWAT show and a 48 hours show where they do murder investigations, so yeah I guess crime's there. St. Louis beats it out, though -- I believe they had the top crime rate in the US recently.
I've spent time in both cities and have had relatives who've lived there and never felt like they were in danger. Honestly it just depends on where you live and where you go. There was a lot of talk here about how the bad the area around KCUMB was way back when I applied, but it didn't strike me as particularly horrible when I interviewed. If you're worried, though, you can always just live somewhere else.
My school is in about the most dangerous part of town, but the campus is always safe -- I have no doubt that KCUMB is the same.

And I don't have testicles. Sorry -- I guess that's why I didn't like the heat.
BTW - Austin sucks. Sorry.
Impressive analysis.
I agree that Austin sucks. Now that two people have agreed upon it, doesn't that make the assertion much more credible?
Your right. Now if we can get the other 750,000 to see it our way.
Impressive analysis.
It's you're.
You've won THIS round Saluki. This argument is a little childish however. Kinda like comparing verbal and written scores on the MCAT.
Derm is PGY-2 and beyond. Nova only lists internship locations in their match lists.
I graduated with the NSUCOM class of 2006 and I know of at least 3 people from my class in dermatology residencies right now. I've been trying to get NSU to update how they do their match list for a while now.
