Excellent post 👍 I just want to get out and actually start doing stuff. I am getting sick of learning mundane pathways that will most likely change in 5 years after they learn it was all wrong.

Well i just finshed learning those stupid pathways. Time for 3.5 hours sleep, get owned on phyiology test, then try to learn 20 pathology lectures in 3 day😱
Gotta love med school
This for Soundman and Bonesawz :beat: Well, Jordan would get it.

I'm gonna sound like a giant (l), but that was definitely a "pick me up" kind of post that I needed to hear. I know how incredibly quickly this first year has gone by, but I seriously cannot wait for 3rd year. I'm certain it's going to be sucktastic (especially for the first rotation or so), but good Lord, it has to be better than sitting in a lecture hall all day trying to stay focused, when it's soo much easier jack around on the internet.

So Thank You for reminding me that my life is pretty sweet.

On a side note: My pornstar name would be Edwin Northern Oaks......if only I had followed my childhood dreams.

That is an awesome pornstar name! I grew up on a couple of streets, so my alternate names would be Brad West or Brad Silo. I'm kind of fond of Brad Silo.
 
DJ, dude, tell your mom to stop waiting a day to post the test scores😱
 
heh, DJ's mom is the test poster. That's cool, but dude get her arthritis under control or something so she can post those scores so I can go on with my life. I mean it's a scantron and you load it up, should match up real nice, don't understand why it takes so long. They spoiled us first semester. I hear 2nd year is even worse.

hahahahaha. Seriously, I think it is one old lady grading them by hand. Screw the scan-tron, Ms. Jigglebutt is 1/1,000th the cost...and the speed.

Anyone feeling the need to punch babies in order to work out the stress of all these damn tests?

Yea, grandma is the lazy test-scorer, mom works at Big Earl's...

At this point, I don't even know why I look for my grade the same day as the test. We DID get spoiled last semester-

How bad is Path going to be on Thursday?

Yea, God forbid I'm in a nursery while studying for this test... baby punching rampage!
 
BTW, those study guides on Judy are good but they are not as detailed as they may need to be so if you use them, make sure you use the lectures to confirm their amount of detail. That is, if you have time. Which I don't so nevermind.

Anyone know how many pictures will be on the Path test?

I feel violated.

I need a hug... 😀
 
I yelled at grandma about posting the test scores, but she said her artificial hip was giving her some problems this afternoon. She said she'd have scores up tomorrow by 10... 😱
 
You were the winner dj! Don't tell me yo mama don't listen to you. That Path test was pretty ridiculous. I'm guessing that everyone missed their questions in a single section. that's where I lost all nearly all of my questions. Now doesn't it sound crazy when a single chapter taught by a single teacher can pwn every single one of us? And no 100%, something tells me some points will be coming back. Average was low too.

Have a relaxing weekend all, thanks dj's grandma for finally gettin' scores up.

Yeah, I don't know where I lost the majority of my points but, it was a huge change from the first test; and not in the positive way. I am not sure if it was just me or was it just the fact that we had a physio test three days prior so that made it hard to study? Either that or the questions sucked balls. Opinions?

Yes.
 
I don't believe those particular questions tested concepts but rather, do you remember every little minutae of detail that I through out there, but really didn't emphasize. It's funny because those questions of all of these are true BUT, are not typical board questions, because people know they suck and don't test concepts, or any real understanding of the detail. Oh well, it's over atleast, bring on geriatrics!!! Now where was dj's mom errrr.... grandma...:hardy:
 
wow official request, i wonder if there will be others that delete d/t official request. I see some posts that definitely lack some professionalism and I went back to mine to make sure they were "kosher". Hopefully we can have a good weekend, time to see some helicopters.
 
A little birdie told me about this thread; its clear that you first years enjoy your whining. Sorry to burst your bubble but it only gets harder 2nd year. You really need to chill or theres no way you'll last through next year and boards. You can choose to either accept that school is hard and gets frustrating and challenging at times or just keep on reacting to it the way you are and spend the next three years (plus however long residency turns out to be) being miserable and pissed at everyone.

Just my opinion, let the flames begin.

Dear whoeveryouare,
It's called venting and yes, many of us have crossed the line (including myself and I apologize). However, I think we will do just fine in second year and beyond thank you. There is nothing wrong with venting and joking around (or "Whining" because I'm sure your class never did) but I agree, it must be kept somewhat respectful and decent.

BTW, I will try to chill with my posts because I have crossed the line and that just isn't me. I just like to vent a little with a little humor and I didn't think it would offend anyone. Anyone who knows me KNOWS that I love this school and it's faculty and what it stands for. Don't hate me because I'm stupid and beautiful.
 
I love how the "experienced" students come in here and tell us that we aren't going to make it and how much harder it's going to be during the second year, and how all we do is whine. Funny how we heard same thing about those classes above us and how they were whiners as well.

Point is as jbone alluded to, it's a place to vent, but somethings got offline and that's been corrected by many of us including me. So for us that aren't gonna make it through boards or 2nd year, we appreciate your advice.
 
I only ventured to your site after reading the DMU email sent out today. If you don't mind, I would like to say a few things.

1. Everyone always says that "the next year's harder." I've listened to a lot of students from more than one class. They all have said that every year has it's challanges, but that "this year" is really better than the last. (It could be because it's closer to the end!)

2. Every class gets in trouble for something. That's just the way it goes. Everyone has growing pains. This too shall pass. Things get better.

3. Don't allow someone to get to you. You all know that you will get through next year. You've gotten this far. I don't think the whole class, most of the class, or even 15% of the class will all of a sudden give up.

The main point of this post... Just hang in there!

Thanks TrophyWife! Sometimes I think we need a reminder that "this too shall pass" to help us out of our clouds of doom and gloom that we impose upon ourselves from time to time...

33 days left! Oh yea, UFC 70 is on in 45 minutes... I'm pumped-
 
ophidianben: I appreciate your comments, however, I would also appreciate not being pigeon-holed as a whiny member of the class of 2010 due to the comments of a few of my classmates. There are bad apples in every bunch including yours, you should realize this and be careful not to offend too many people.

To incoming/prospective students and peers at other schools: I assure you that the words of the few do not represent the vast majority of DMU-COM's Class of 2010. We are proud to be at a great school, full of great students who love what we are doing and act in a respectful manner deserving of our future profession.

For my classmates: I understand your frustration with classes, the sarcastic humor and need to vent. However, this is a public forum. Writing here is different that writing an email or talking in the hallway. Your posts are annonymous to most, so they represent your 200+ peers as much as they do you, something that it appears you failed to consider. We have all worked hard to get to where we are today, and the negative reputation you have succeeded in promoting is a slap in our faces. If you feel the need to vent by means of dirty jokes, etc in the future I encourage you to do so, however, please refrain from doing it in a public forum. I do not care to think of what opinions these posts may have impressed onto incoming and prospective students.

I am tired of being labeled as a whiny, unprofessional DO '10. While we are learning how to become physicians lets try to learn how to also act like physicians.
 
:laugh: :laugh: :laugh:
Ok, now this has officially become LAME.
Thank you.

**destroys soapbox**
 
Cheesehead...
WOW! I obviously have nothing to defend. I have never posted on this site before today & I am not a DMU '10er, but maybe you need to take your own advise & let things "roll off" as you put it. I don't think there is any need to take yourself quite this seriously. Yes, in an ideal world everyone should be professional, but in the real world that is NOT the case. Just to give you my credentials, so that you take me seriously. I am a business grad. I have worked at fortune 100 companies and was the VP of a company. If you think that is the way the real world is and what you are going to find on rotations, I would suggest bringing ear plugs with you on surgeries, in the ER, outside of many patient rooms, and in OB on call rooms. Sorry hunny, life ain't like that. To paraphrase a well known icon, who the heck are you to throw the first stone? Wait until you get further in your education and medical career. People are allowed to criticize their place of work or the place they attend school. Trust me when I say I have seen DMU (the school as an entity) sully their own image professionally. I will not post the laundry list, but it is there. Every school and every business has one. No one is perfect. Please do not try to hold yourself, your fellow students, and your university to a standard that is not obtainable. It will only lead to heartbreak.

To incoming students that might be checking this site, DMU is as good if not better than any other school. You need to interview and meet the faculty & students to decide if it's a good fit for you. If you make your decisions based on an on line forum, you are only cheating yourself. DMU has a good reputation, and I challenge you to find a school that has 100% satisfaction all the time. It would be like finding a profession that has 100% satisfaction rate... It's not out there! If you find one, they're lying and I'd stay away!
 
Cheese,

I haven't said anything on here that I wouldn't say in person, I have not said anything bad about the university. I haven't denegrated any individuals, only stating that how an unnamed lecturer asked questions on a pathology test is not indicative of normal board type questions.

So my point is that yes this is a place to vent about our medical school, about a test that we just had in medical school at DMU, that others may read. It's about real things that go on at DMU and what medical school is like for the average real medical students and how we get frustrated sometimes. So it does tell the story about "real health professionals" and their journey towards that goal. That's all I did and many others.

You calling out individuals is flat out ridiculous, we all got the e-mail, changes were already done and posts and apologies were made. You bringing up specifics is uncalled for and you owe those people an apology.

You can PM me here, I don't need a special e-mail address to get a hold of me. Heck you can talk to me about it at school, most everyone knows who I am.

/me gets off my soapbox
 
I apologize if I have offended any of you out there and if I may have lashed out somewhat too much, that was not my intent. I know that you all work very hard, take school very seriously and will someday make excellent doctors. It was also not my intent to be a "father" or "throw the first stone." I am quite aware that the real world is not perfect and that professionalism is not found everywhere. I also don't mean to say that I am always as professional as I should be but I think it is something that as future physicians we need to aspire towards.

I am very very tired and frustrated at getting an email every week from Dr. Mueller telling us all yet again how someone did something to make us look bad. I'm also tired of DAILY hearing second years, DPMs, PAs and DPTs make comments about our class. We have gotten ourselves under the spotlight fair or not, and I think we all just need to try to show everyone that we aren't a bunch of whiners and that we are professional.

Ahh now this I believe and can even agree with. The point is that it was the second years or 09ers that had our place last year. They were the "whiners" when it came to tests etc. It's always the first class it seems, it does get old though after awhile, when we know it's not true. Oh well, i guess let it die and get through the last 5 weeks.
