This forum made possible through the generous support of SDN members, donors, and sponsors. Thank you.
I was going to call my school hospital for a volunteering spot, but I think i'll just wait until after my MCAT.

Haha. It always feels good to have the adrenaline going, but that's when I make stupid mistakes...like gambling away all my money 😛
 
SU1989 said:
I'd do it ASAP. Those spots get filled up very easily

Yeah, but I don't know. There's a lot of positions and I already have my application cleared. Just have to choose a department.

Hahaha yeah that's the worst part. What I do is I cash out the initial money I put in once I make some profit, so I am esentially playing with casino's money after.

I was planning on doing something in the nursing department. The description showed a lot of patient interaction. Or may peds if I can play with some kids 🙂

Yeah you'll get tons of patient interaction at the nursing department for sure... Uhh I could never do peds. I don't like kids 😀
 
I definitely have to grab lots of food for saturday+sunday so I don't have to leave my dorm. I bet if I ordered food the delivery guy would get pissed off in the storm. :laugh:

I'm afraid I would get really annoyed at the kids after awhile...Probably best if I don't ruin it by doing peds. I was also thinking about volunteering at a nursing home, but idk.

Yeah, the remnants of hurricane Irene are supposed to hit NYC/Long Island and everything else in the path on Sunday. So instead of going back to school sunday, they're letting us go saturday. 🙁 I wish I could finish Ramadan at home

Oh I didn't know that. Guess it's not hitting the part of NY I live in 😀

Don't you get a day off on Eid ul Fitr? (I don't which date it's gonna be on this year)

I can't believe my MCAT's in a week from today...

ADRENALINE IS THE MAIN NEUROTRANSMITTER FOR THE SYMPATHETIC NERVOUS SYSTEM, which is the "fight or flight" response, which is mediated by the adrenal medulla. Adrenaline is a powerful vasoconstrictor, binding to receptors on the smooth muscle wrapped around arteries and arterioles, constricting them and having two major effects: increasing blood pressure and rerouting blood towards areas of the body that are needed while "fighting/flighting", such as the muscles and the heart, as opposed to the digestive and excretory systems. The sympathetic nervous system is part of the autonomic nervous system.

Large arteries have a smaller smooth muscle to volume ratio than medium arteries and arterioles, meaning that they are less sensitive to vasoconstricting effects from things like epinephrine, and are less elastic. Veins, unlike arteries, are not wrapped by smooth muscle, instead relying on the pumping of the heart, contraction of skeletal muscle, and valves to keep the (mostly deoxygenated) blood flowing.

I need to go to sleep -________-

Sameso's. And also, it's a long story, but I basically only have math education through high school geometry punctuated by B's in two semesters of college calculus somehow. x_x

torshi said:
if your getting kinda scared at first go look up freelance physics on youtube he teaches very well esp for physics. Teaches slow but gets the idea across.

also the book
"physics for the utterly confused" is really good im using it as a supplement, you can get it for a few bucks on amazon.

Thanks for the tips. Buying that, for less than 5 bucks, can't go wrong.

Just totally reviewed the CRAP out of the cardiovascular system. Too bad it's still kind of confusing... capillaries especially. Hydrostatic pressure, osmotic pressure. Gah. It's really fascinating, but the MCAT actually expects you to have a pretty good grasp of a lot of it. I stopped at the lymphatic system, though, because everything stopped making sense and I was like, HUH?!?!?!?!

I HAVE SO MUCH CONTENT REVIEW LEFT TO DO AHHH OMG FREAKOUTTIMEFORKANGAROOPAW.

Anyway, I totally sat my dad down and made him explain the shizzle out of capillaries. I was like, YO DAD, explain these things. What's interstitial fluid. Still don't get it. Okay, now I get it. Okay, wtf are veins. Okay cool. Explain alveolar gas exchange. WAIT NVM let me explain it to you. 2 hours later I let him go. My poor father

Don't freak out. You're gonna do awesome. Plus it sounds like you have an awesome study buddy. 😀 I think cardiovascular system is sorta confusing too, glad I'm not the only one. I'm gonna have to review that and nephron filtration and immune system like hard in the winter.

Lies. At least there's a lot of pics of you, too. Literally 90% of the pics of me are awful, and there's only 60 something haha.

I found you by finding your MD apps, then Googling one of your EC's. Apparently you know how to make websites. And link to your Facebook off of them. 😉
