Class of 2014!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This forum made possible through the generous support of SDN members, donors, and sponsors. Thank you.
i'm sad we wont be classmates anymore, caniac! it's a hard decision because i love psu too, i've just always wanted to live in a city for a few years and dc fits the bill a bit more than hershey😛

Well, you should tell gtown that they shouldn't have post-interview rejected me!! 😛 You're gonna have a blast there -- I used to volunteer at GUH and the folks there are great!

Glad you're headed to where you felt the best fit! I'm the opposite -- been in urban centers for the past 6 years and I prefer the more rural areas.

And, after all, you're still only 2 hours and change from Hershey Park! :laugh:
 
just promise to root for the hockey girls. two girls on the team are from colorado. 👍

thanks caniac! that's reassuring to hear about the hospital-gtown seems to get a lot of hate on here, but everyone at the school seemed really happy so hopefully i'm making a good decision🙂

haha i'll make sure to yell at them for you as soon as i get there! i'm sure that'll make a great first impression😛
 
i feel like i should have taken my interviews at denver/iowa/wisconsin and applied to east coast mstp programs now

i'll definitely hit up the hockey games
 
when they mean hockey, do they mean ice hockey there?

here, its all about field hockey for girls
 
Well, drizzt is currently trying to diagnose all the things that are wrong with me.

BTW, I hate it when I get blood drawn and I get lightheaded and everyone goes on about how I shouldn't be a doctor or whatever, because it's obviously because I'm scared of blood. Nope, couldn't possibly be because I have a borderline low bp and you stole a whole bunch of blood from my arm. That's just too logical. 🙄
routine blood work or is something really wrong? :scared:

the blood they draw for blood work shouldn't be enough that it would cause a notable effect on BP.
 
watching Greys right now and nearly fell to the floor at how ridiculously they exagerrated superior canal dehiscence syndrome...seen those patients...none are even close to clawing their eyes out.....most are just really annoyed.
 
ice hockey. lol. high school hockey in that state is probably comparable to football at UMich. its the real deal. Sid the Kid played for Shattuks.
 
If we're talking MN; yes, the high school hockey tournament is a pretty big deal.
I've heard playoff/championship games average right around 20K people/game. and back in 2004, at one game, supposedly 100K+. 😱

The venue only holds ~18k for NHL games. Per Wikipedia:

2008 -- March 7, 19,559 fans attended the 2008 State Boys’ Hockey Tournament Class AA semifinals at Xcel Energy Center, setting a new record for the largest crowd to ever attend a hockey game in the state of Minnesota.

But it's still a lot of people 🙂

Looks like I'm reading it wrong...apparently the 100+k was for the whole tournament. makes way more sense. :laugh:
 
guess who gets to start a 9-month course of isoniazid 🙁

I remember going through that a couple of years ago. Good times 👍

Good thing I don't drink; my liver was pristine and ready to take that beating :laugh:

It's actually not too bad. Just remember to take a B6 (or was it B12? I can't remember - that probably doesn't bode too well for me as a future doc...) supplements... very important when you are taking isoniazid!
 
******* doc told me to take INH in college without telling me it was hepatotoxic. guess who was drinking the whole time. when i found out i stopped the INH, it was dumb anyway and i was pretty pissed.

interesting, yeah it says it can rarely cause b6 deficiency so supplements are given
 
yeah apparently i've been exposed tb. but so have lots of people--1 in 3 worldwide. this was news to me

nah i'm like 99% certain this was my southeast asia trip a few summers ago. i got tested for hospital volunteering before i went on that trip and was negative. this is the first tb test i've had since going on that trip
 
Ohhh where is Sammich?? Bret is on Oprah.

i kinda grew up in india - so I'm sure I was exposed when I was over there.

But yea; good times. Don't forget the B6 or you'll feel reeeeally tired all day
 
Dude from BP, "Envionrmental impact from oil will be minimal."


Dude from LA, "Tell that son of a bitch to come down here."



I'm all for some vigilante justice here. 👍

👍 for that
 
My parents bought themselves and me WashU Medicine shirts. And a stuffed bear wearing a WashU shirt. :laugh:

... odd that's exactly what my parents did when we went to visit Penn. Actually, they gave the stuffed bear to my sis in law; but kept the shirts. And my dad got a hat.

Parents are hilarious
