How did you find an apartment so fast? I'm looking where I matched and half are apartment complexes that have complaints about roaches and the other half are sketchy furnished basements off Craigslist!!literally the second I found out I matched the desire to gaf plummeted. Like I had a rotation final today on community practice and I studied for <10 minutes before the final. And I didn’t even care.
Gimme that degree, let me move to Wisconsin and do the damn thing. I already found apartment (which already approved my Adenine girl), applied for state license (waiting to get approved to take the test, and then when I graduate there’s one more document that has to get sent in by school) and then I’m done...
I’m bummed bc this is the perfect time to go hang out with my friends and have wonderful memories since this is the last time we’re guaranteed to be together and I can’t... cause Covid.
She gives me anxiety with how fast she does everything lol
You mean you haven’t been looking at apartments for 6 months since you decided you were applying there?
Who are youliterally the second I found out I matched the desire to gaf plummeted. Like I had a rotation final today on community practice and I studied for <10 minutes before the final. And I didn’t even care.
... guilty... As soon as I knew I wanted to go there on my externship, I was creeping around apartments and trying to find them
To be fair, my exam was all over like... preventative medicine**... like "design a wellness visit plan for a XXX age dog who has / has never been to the vet before"
I used Apartments.com and I was able to find a bunch of pretty affordable options, but I know that it's pretty location dependent. There's approximately 2949202993 apartments in the Milwaukee, WI area so I just had to find the closest one that fit my budget!
if it's any consolation, I give myself anxiety about everything?
If it makes you feel better, it is nice to have for preparing a consult to specialist as GP. Basically rounding them on patient. haha
I remember doing some quiz (or part of a quiz) about fluid therapy calculations and there was one question where if you did it wrong you 'killed the patient' and automatically failed the whole thing. Something to do with colloid type fluids or something. I uh... I didn't get it wrong, but I'll be damned if I even remember what it was. I never used any colloids anyway - the clinic had like, nearly expired plasmalyte and that's it. Whatever. I've forgotten how to calculate normal replacement fluids over the last year and a half anyway.To be fair, my exam was all over like... preventative medicine**... like "design a wellness visit plan for a XXX age dog who has / has never been to the vet before"
and we literally had multiple rounds where we did this and at least 2 weeks of practice directly on this rotation. I was prepared to talk about the MOA of recombinant vaccines and my first questions asked me about what vaccines I want to use at XX age.
** not saying at all that preventative medicine is easy. It's just... when they give you an actual outline in rounds of what you should do at X age, you should probably just use everything they said in rounds for that exact question in the test.

At my GP we have a chart with maintenance by weight and rates for rehydration over different time frames with different levels of dehydration. It is a very good chart. I literally went back to my vet school notes when I started ER work because I didn't remember that at all, had only had LRS for four years, and remembered jack **** about hetastarch and blood products and whatnot.I remember doing some quiz (or part of a quiz) about fluid therapy calculations and there was one question where if you did it wrong you 'killed the patient' and automatically failed the whole thing.

I had a yorkie come in with an albumin of 1 (!!!!) and had to go digging through all the fluids in the clinic, eventually found a single bag of vetstarch that was set to expire in a monthI remember doing some quiz (or part of a quiz) about fluid therapy calculations and there was one question where if you did it wrong you 'killed the patient' and automatically failed the whole thing.

hmm I don’t think I’ve had this quiz but yes, that.. yeah.I remember doing some quiz (or part of a quiz) about fluid therapy calculations and there was one question where if you did it wrong you 'killed the patient' and automatically failed the whole thing.

us on the VIN stimulator (me a new second year? and you a first year): let’s just push this button and see what happens.
Geeze no. Our neuro service is busy for sure but not notorious for the things you're describing.
Our neuro service is super busy and generally has only ~4 students. However, we've all been putting in our evaluations of the service to bump it up to 6ish. I've noticed over the last few months that they have bumped up the number of students to 5 or 6. When it's stupid busy, the students are significantly stressed. But the clinicians I feel try to help ease that stress.
Do you mean students or doctors? If the latter, having a reputation like this probably doesn't make them feel better about the pressure.
I had a Bedlington patient (in full funny cut) and basically every person who acknowledged him was like "copper storage dz!"
We're under the two month mark, feels weird man
THEY HAVE ROTATION EXAMS. MSU had some too @finnickthedog
And the standards for S or S+ are low on some services. Cardio gives S+ out like candy. 🤣Our grading is just P/F for rotations and I am very happy about that and the lack of exams
Only on Path though!
We have some of these too. I actually have one next Friday.
Ahhh okay good. I knew I remembered the path ones but I couldn’t remember if there were other ones that had them too
What a great way to start out clinics with cardio first 😂😂😂
Yeah, like Ski said, we have rotation exams. We still get grades during 4th year for most* rotations. And they count towards the GPA too.
That's awesome! By the way, I meant to ask about your new job - will you have some amount of repro/breeder caseload? I know it's something you're interested in and any clients in that arena would be lucky to have you
Yup! Looking for a place where i could do repro was pretty key in my job search as I do love it. The practice I'm going to has one other full time dr doing repro right now and they tell me it's about a third of her caseload. They believe there is room to do more if I want though I'm not totally sure yet what sort of balance I want between repro vs all other GP things
That's awesome! I am going to end up in the exact opposite end of reproduction from you (lol) but I'll almost definitely hit you up down the road to talk shop when I have very pregnant or neonatal patients come in
At the moment, live graduation for the students but no guests allowed (they'll have to watch on a livestream). Always pending updates from them though, but any updates would almost certainly be to restrict it more rather than open it up
