Class of 2013!!!

This forum made possible through the generous support of SDN members, donors, and sponsors. Thank you.
Have injured foot. Potential fracture of 5th met. Will report back upon x-ray after 2pm.

Hey, look at it this way. when you study the limbs for anatomy, you will have an actual X ray you can use to study.
 
sup guys back from Austin...going down to SD today...moving closer towards finding a place to live for the fall

have a great day everyone!!!

Myuu and DokB...hope you feel better
 
you definitely will not regret upgrading from a twin size bed.

we have a cruise too but I think I'm going to skip it; its one of the optional, pay extra events along with the outdoor adventure course and a broadway show. since ive never done an outdoor adventure course i figure ill pay for that but ive been on the cruise and seen the show LOL

my friend is actually starting columbia dental. you guys take classes together right?
The cruise is not optional and is included in the price of the orientation pass. However, if we'd like to booze on the cruise then we have to pay. schoo

I am not sure if we have class with the dental school. We have a new curriculum that has a shortened anatomy block. I'm not sure if their curriculum has changed, but if it has then we probably will have anatomy together.

Hello from Starbucks land in Houston (check out the new location). I don't know why I can't get internet at my apartment until Thursday, it's just the way of things 🙁 So I'll be checking in on 2 hour intervals I guess each day.

Alright, I demand Austin stories! 😀

Hello! Wow I've been away too long. How long has it been since you were promoted from ass?

Haha, um a month-ish? I haven't been around much this week because I moved to Houston on last Thursday, and it's taking forever to get my internet hooked up 🙁

Also, I found when I got to Houston that I had no power 👎 Apparently the landlords neglected to tell me that I had to call the power company and set up my own plan before I came. That led to a VERY hot first night 🙁 [/whining]
 
Anyone here have undergrad loans they are defering because of medical school enrollment? Do you just go to the medical school registrar and have them sign their section on the loan deferment form before mailing it in? I'd like to get this out of the way as soon as I can, but I don't see how I can do it until I get there.

if you have loans through citibank then you can defer online... although I'm really not sure whether what i submitted online was all i need to do 🙁... if anyone has experience with this, please share 🙂
 
how is everyone this evening? I got some fresh berries at the farmer's market that are really good.a nyone like currants?
 
I'm watching the LOTR trilogy. Looks like I'll be up for a while.
 
This morning as I was rushing toward class cutting through the hospital, my shoe went left while my foot went right, sending me into a tumble which was followed by a snap/crackle/pop, redness, swelling, pain, and heat. Being the ever dedicated student, I kept going and sat through class, scheduling an appointment to see a PCP at 2PM.

I go to my appointment at university health services an hour early and they let me right in (rawk)... to see a nephrologist 🙂wtf🙂 who then tells me that she's "not even going to do an x-ray" because "it's probably just a sprain." She gets the nurse to wrap it and send me on my merry way.

I go to a histopath review session and get up again, realizing that my foot hurts way more than it did before and has been increasing in not-painfulness ever since I twisted/"sprained"/debilitated it. So I think "ok, well, she's a doctor...so she probably knows what she's doing...I'll just hobble back, sleep on it, and hope for the best." Also, "what bones are in the kidney?!"

No.


No, no, no, no.

So I'm attempting to return to my apartment through the hospital (very conventiently placed, these hospitals), and am stopped by a doctor and then by a pair of nurses who suggest (insist) that I go check out the emergency room.

So, (thankfully) an elevator ride and a few badly ambled steps later, I arrive in emergency where the nice friendly and very sensible DO says that "it's probably broken" and that I'm (definitely) "going to need an x-ray."

X-ray comes back and it is "clearly fractured."

I get all wrapped up in plaster of paris, instructed on the proper care and keeping of crutches, and wheeled out of the ER, where Case campus security picks me up and drops me off at my building.

Finally.


JUSTICE.




WHAT BONES ARE IN THE FRIGGIN' KIDNEY?!?!?!
 
5th met. Apparently, it's so common they named it. "Johnson fracture."

Having seen it myself, I'm pretty confident that even my 4-year-old nephew would have known that something was terribly wrong. But then, preschoolers know that there are bones in feet.
 
we got blackboard log in info today.

so far, my courses are: note-taking service.... and helpful hints (complete with old exams). ha
haha isnt it frustrating a little bit? we have a system called ALEX but i really cant do anything there except look at the past years syllabi... but they are changing the curriculum for this fall lol
