Do I see an oncologist in your future? Congrats! Way to go!

Hahahahahahahahahaha






But no probably not. If anything wild came about from this school year I'd end up a cardiologist. That was fun. But I'm still hoping for surgery

But thanks!!

Surgical oncology exists

 

[Coopah]

Surgical oncology exists

Actually I was considering that but thought it might be a bit depressing . I bow to your wisdom soothsayer

Can confirm she was alive at 9:14. Any time after that is a mystery.

YOU GUYS CAN DO IT I BELIEVE IN YOUUUUU

When the vet your externing with over break texts you to tell you that you had a good catch on some x-rays and the radiologist agreed with your diagnosis Not completely incompetent (at least today lol).

 

[battie]

First day back and spent it on our Onco service. Good start to rotations! Sad news though that my boyfriend's dog died when a mass on her spleen started to bleed.

That’s hard. I’m sorry bats

I don’t like shadow magic. We had 3 hours of lecture today and we went from an introductory “this is an X-ray” to “this is normal rads of everything in the thorax” to “this is everything that’s wrong with the heart”

and yet I see nothing

Dang, that's a pretty quick transition. We basically had half a credit on normal rads before moving to abnormal. And several basic radiographic physics lectures.

Then again my school is kind of known for excessive radiographic education...

That’s nice! I think they’re trying to incorporate it all together but it was a whirlwind.

"nice" is not a word i would use to describe our radiology course

 

[cdo96]

The year goes so fast. You'll be in clinics in the blink of an eye. After the drag that is second year spring semester. haha

I thought you were exaggerating at the time, but then I finally got my calendar all filled out and had to cry a little. So many exams. My brain is already tired thinking of these

 

[finnickthedog]

I had to scroll way too far to find this so I'm just sharing that it's cold enough here for my university to cancel classes tomorrow. Isn't that... lovely?

Mine too. We’re supposed to be at least -40 windchill.

 

[TheGirlWithTheFernTattoo]

It’s stupid cold here too. -51F after windchill if I did the math right.

It hurts to go outside...

This is when I would just give up and become a hermit in a blanket fort of warmth.

 

[Coopah]

I biked to school today. It's in the high sixties

But I feel for you guys.

 

[cdo96]

It’s positive 40 right now!

To be fair, it was 15 when I left for class in the morning!

 

[twelvetigers]

It’s positive 40 right now!

To be fair, it was 15 when I left for class in the morning!

And then next Monday it’ll be like, 70.

 

[battie]

Classes are technically canceled, but they're giving us the option of going to rotations tomorrow if we want (both VM2 and VM4). So I'll still be at the school.

There is legit a dude in my class that bikes every day. He biked to school today and then I legit had to tell him to message me if he wants to come in tomorrow.

 

[JaynaAli]

When I was a student, any time school was cancelled for weather, they sent out emails about how the hospital was NOT closed just because school was out, but of course not to take chances if you felt it was unsafe...it definitely implied that you were expected to make it in.

 

[cheathac]

Whoooo class canceled tomorrow means an extra day to study for path exam! Was really not wanting to go out in the -40 degree (windchill) temps!

What rotation are you on this week??

 

[cdo96]

My favorite present I’ve ever been given was the ice storm last spring. I had a phys 3 exam the Friday before and a parasitology exam at 1 pm on the following Tuesday. And to stay I hadn’t studied enough was an understatement. The night before I still didn’t know half the parasites I was pulling my hair out over stress. The following morning, I got to school at 3am, skipped all my morning classes, and I’m studying like a mad man to get these down. All of a sudden, the ice just comes DOWN. At 12:05pm, the school cancelled class for the rest of the day. The only people left in the building at this point were really first years and then faculty and the building erupted in cheers.

And then it was closed the next day, and eventually half of the following day. The exam was moved for Friday afternoon, and I credit the snow to my grade in the class. I got a like 85 on the exam on Friday. I don’t think I could’ve gotten a 50 on it if I hadn’t had those extra days to study.

 

[battie]

Internal med. We have 4 in patients and some rechecks tomorrow.

Oooo that one was cool. You gonna go in on the weekend and help with transfers too???

Probs not. lol. I have to help with your silly OTS practice practical early on Sunday.

 

[SkiOtter]

Ah yes that
I should probably learn all of the nerves and vessels before then....

Ohio State never closed while I was a student. They are closing for this weather and didn't even imply you were expected in, they just made sure to tell everyone (including those who have graduated) multiple times (text, call, email) that "Although the University is closed, the VMC is open for business as usual. Everyone should report to work."

 

[battie]

I regret my choice of going in today.

 

[SkiOtter]

Just leave now it’s fine

 

[finnickthedog]

Annnnd classes cancelled tomorrow. I have so much unanticipated study time.

 

[battie]

Just leave now it’s fine

That was before I had even gotten dressed this morning.

 

[SkiOtter]

Did you end up staying home then??
The time stamp said 8:12 so I figured that you were already there and it wasn’t actually 7:12 here. Sdn has stupid timestamps and they are not in the time zone you are currently in and it confuses me always

I'm pretty sure it was at 7:12 cause I got in my car at 7:15. lol. I'm currently in Internal Med reviewing 605 so that I can pass our milestone.

YOU CAN DO IT BATS I BELIEVE IN YOU

 

[battie]

YOU CAN DO IT BATS I BELIEVE IN YOU

I can get a 60%.

 

[SkiOtter]

I can get a 60%.

That’s all you need
YOU CAN DO IT
Also, does the milestone get factored into gpa? Or is it just a pass fail thing to move on? Just curious

 

[battie]

Not factored at all. It's just a pass fail thing and the 60% is the pass point. You just have to pass it to move onto 3rd year (along with the OSCE). You can take it twice, but in the last 3 years only 1 person has had to retake it.

My professors are really engaging and enthusiastic this semester. I wish I was better about being able to be engaged and enthusiastic back at them.

I am studying amphibians

But today was studying horse feet and muscles and such. Which is not very exciting.

I like oncology though. I'll trade you for horse feet.

I’ve had horse feet for both comparative anatomy and clinical anatomy. They’re the worst and I hate them.
