Which atlas are you using? what website are you using to view digital slides?

My students used Iowa...It is actually a very thorough site...here's the link just in case you guys do not use it:

http://www.path.uiowa.edu/virtualslidebox/histo_path/histology_laboratory/

here are a couple more:

I'm trying to decide if I should buy an atlas or not. I've been using my schools virtual slide website.

Thanks for the links.👍

Good luck everyone this year. We have already had our first exam. Woohoo!!!
 
Are you guys wearing clothes under your scrubs for Anatomy lab? I get cold really, really easily and I'm worried about freezing the entire time. I think I need to buy some cheap clothes for layering.

scrubs + lab coat should work

Hehe, yeah, I shiver through lecture all the time and the anatomy lab's even colder than the lecture room!

scrubs + lab coat should work

Hrm, true. That would help a lot. I don't want to be the only one wearing a lab coat though... But it does seem weird to me to only wear short sleeved scrubs while digging through a human body.

I'm probably going to get cheap undershirts and stuff like that at Wal-Mart before we dig in. Anatomy labs are a little chilly!
 
Hmm, for anatomy atlases, I have one and am contemplating a second. I have Rohen's photographic atlas which is amazing (full of photographs of prosections). I'd like an illustrated one to add to that, though, as a more schematic guide to the whole thing. I'm about to start coursework on an applied anatomy masters, though, so be advised that I may go for more books in general than the average student will need.

I also have Ross's histology (our school uses Junqueira, which I'm told is straight to the point and shorter), which is very thorough, and I just picked up a color atlas of histology which seems like major win, for those of you interested in it.


As to anatomy garb, I just wear scrubs and a tank top. 😀

speaking of walmart I just got back from there, and I think it's official that (at least in my area) walmart is the trashiest grocery store ever.

(I'm pretty sure some kids were trying to buy drugs off me in the parking lot😱)

just think back to the days before lister and semmelweis-- I'm sure people dug through all sorts of stuff with their bare hands then just washed them afterwards! :scared: hope they scrubbed under their fingernails...

HA! I've been to wal-marts like that.

Maybe an upgrade to Tarjé is in order! :laugh:
 
so is this thread ever going to be moved to allo?
 
i wonder what i should wear to the outdoor adventure course tomorrow....
 
30 more posts before 3K.... i should definitely be able to accomplish that tonight especially after mr. ar leaves for jiu jitsu
 
Medical School is great. Anatomy is not.

Neurology even less so.
One more week of cell science for me! And then real med school stuff-MSS here I come 😛

VLC and my professors' voices at chipmunk speed have been my companions this past 24 hours :laugh:
 
This was a really long weekend 🙂. I love it when the weekend doesn't fly by and you are still able to have some fun.

Anatomy starts Wednesday :scared:

I have gone out with my med school friends more in this past month than probably a year in undergrad....life is weird here :laugh:

I start Anatomy a week from tomorrow 👍
 
i wish it were possible to condense eating and working out into a one hour block so i can achieve those things on a daily basis. i'm feeling the weight gain already.

Yeah... In one of the dissection videos we're supposed to watch (video 1), the guy was definitely not wearing gloves. 😱 The lady in video 4 is, though.

I bought some t-shirts at Target today and bought some leggings to go under my scrubs. I'll find out tomorrow if that's warm enough for me.

do let us know if it works well enough...

Embrace it. I bought a bread machine. If I'm going down, I'm taking the rest of the class with me!!!:meanie:
 
damn it ! i was hoping to lose some weight once school started because i wouldnt be sitting on my lazy a*s on the couch all day LOL
 
i wonder when im gonna get my loan disbursement...
 
im a lot less nervous than i was a week or two ago oddly enough...
 
and how exactly it all works...


Yea, they didn't really tell us how it worked either. Usually the school gets half of your loan now, takes out half of tuition, and directly deposits the rest in your bank account. That was a damn fun weekend 😎.

in your bank account??? but i never gave them my info or anything...
 
Hey guys! Haven't been around all week cause of orientation (my class is AWESOME btw 🙂), but I'm going to try and catch up now.

First day of classes tomorrow! Woot! :woot:
 
good luck guys!

ha...I'm going to be last of the crew to change over to "Medical Student"

I just changed mine 😀

Pre-Orientation + Orientation was exhausting! 😱 I loved it, but I'm in need of some serious social hibernation. I've barely been online for the past two weeks and I've temporarily lost touch with my bff (but thankfully not with my bf) since she's not in the US and we communicate online.

I'm kinda nervous about my first day of classes tomorrow! :scared: Maybe I'll try to distract myself today with cleaning and finishing up my room.

Yup, went out 6 of the last 7 days (got sick in the process 🙁) but had a blast and met a lot of cool people.

I was also quite particular about getting my room in order before classes started 😛

We'll be fine... the course schedule is the scariest thing! It is a test in itself just to make sure you end up in the right class on the right day 👎

Word, it's gonna take me the whole block just to figure out where the hell to go every day.
 
you're right

motion to lock this thread.

Motion to kick whiny premed out of our thread.

Motion granted! 😀

DUDE-we had to pubic symphisis (and of course all the other awkward ones) on the first friggin day of OMM. It was a very uncomfortable transition :laugh:

Although lucky I got a girl as my partner, she is rough and her and the TA man handled my PSIS

Hope y'all did well on tests !!

Yikes. 🙁

Most I did last night was find my femoral artery, courtesy of Gray's.👍

Lol, is this when we all start making medical jokes that everyone looks at us like we're weirdos? 😛

love me some Tar-je! It's the coolest

Tar-je r0x0rs my b0x0rs. I just went there on Friday for some major apartment shopping. Good thing is I probably won't need soap for the next year. Irish Spring 12 pack for $6, can things get any better?!?

hey everyone! here to report I passed my biochem exam and OWNED the histo. I missed one on it!

PIG meeting today. That's pediatric.interest.group.

Yay! Congrats OMBD! 🙂

btw i saw inglorious basterds tonight.. AMAZING!!!!!!!!

I almost saw it last night, but my friends flaked out on me 🙁

Definitely going to see it at some point though.

👍

+1.

I'm probably going to wear a T-shirt underneath or something. I tend to sweat easily so I need an extra barrier 😛
