No....................but I just read the email for SPAL............holy crap.........nothing like being expected to be a doctor in second year..............gotta love it🙂
 
I just wrote a KICKASS article for Dejan.

If only he'll publish it.... 😳
 
Portier that's a lie, we know you can't write. Another hospital day has come and passed and I still don't think I learned anything about anything.....the story of my life!!
 
And the notepool from 1975 actually has lectures from Dr. Kn and Dr. Mo.

Hospital Day was fun. It's all about the schmooze.
 
Doggone stinking golfballs. I freaking hate them.

I don't even want to learn to play golf. I want to learn to play croquet, or cricket, or soccer, or Hi Li, or well, damn near anything except golf.

I found a pretty good golf ball, tried to play croquet with it, and that didn't work. So I tried cricket...that was better but no cigar. I killed a guy with the Golf Ball coming out of the Hi Li mallet, because he wasn't prepared to catch so small of a fast moving object. Soccer was a loss.

I then decided to run over to the exchange and see if my golfball could be changed into something I liked better. The golfball didn't really like going to the exchange. It said the man with a beard and funny clothes really didn't know what he was talking about, and doing what it wanted sounded a lot funner. Who cares what the "according to Hoyle" rules of golf are. We can break them, it said. We can PLAY golf!

It first, wanted to live with another golfball. I told it that was out of the question. Next, it tried to bargain with me to get a football into the rotation, but I said sports leads to sports related injuries. It resisted. I won.

So finally, I dropped the golfball in the sand. I said I couldn't play golf. I said I was wrong, I thought it was another sport. I said I didn't even know if I could play sports anymore seeing as how I was so old now, and I didn't have the heart to keep the ball from a sporting game. I told the ball I was still going to look out for it. I would come by and rotate it from time to time. I could even be available to move the ball whenever and whereever it wanted to go.

Then another golfer came by. He wasn't a doctor precisely. He worked on the body, but only in parts, and he had no such problem playing any sport at all. He wasn't very good by reputation at any sport, and didn't have the look that he could become any better. He was currently as good at golf as he ever would be, and that was far below average, as was his intelligence.

His clothes told the story of his life. Not very bright or creative. Not very sensitive to colors, or style. Never able to break away from standard golf attire. Just run of the mill, no imagination. He looked like a real golfer. That is, he didn't look like me.

His bottom lip stuck out very far, when he tried to think. So far in fact, I wondered if it was attached anywhere. He forced it out so he could think better...there is some relationship between neuron firing and bottom lip out sticking. I'm sure of this because I sensed the intense work behind the sloped forehead whenever that purple and red lined protuberance of his face pushed out.

Everyone I knew told me, he won't play golf. And even if he does want to, the golf ball knows better. It'll sit there when he swings. It'll convince him not to swing. It's all gonna' be fine. Just give it time to shake out. I mean, look at you, and look at the golfer.

Then, do you know what he did?

He hit my golfball.

There's a passage I got memorized. Ezekiel 25:17

"The path of the righteous man is beset on all sides by the inequities of the selfish and the tyranny of evil men. Blessed is he who, in the name of charity and good will, shepherds the weak through the valley of the darkness. For he is truly his brother's keeper and the finder of lost children. And I will strike down upon thee with great vengeance and furious anger those who attempt to poison and destroy my brothers. And you will know I am the Lord when I lay my vengeance upon you."
 
Portier,
Did you lose it??? Are you ok, I'm afraid it may have finally happened for you....alzheimer's is setting in :idea:
 
Luckily it didn't last...this time. 😕
 
Do you ever step back and look at stuff like your life and just wonder........why you make decision you do, why you act the way you do, maybe even wonder if you are happy or not. But then you realize it doesn't really matter overall cause you can't control it, you just gotta suck it up and quit being a whiny little b**ch and continually get your a** handed to you. That's when you just shut everything at 9:30 go to bed and hope tomorrow doesn't suck quite as bad as today! At least nelly remade a remake and it's called N Dey Say....listen to it........it was a great :idea:
 
It's Friday. And it doesn't make a difference.
 
Lucky you know we don't work on a real calendar schedule it's officially 3 days till our next test.......................🙂 You should know better than trying to live like someone who might be normal. I love monday tests yeeeeeeeeeeeeee haaaaaaaaawwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww like :scared:
 
I think I'm finding some unhealthy ways to avoid studying. I'm on this technology kick. Go Bluetooth. Stop me. Help. I need a 12 step program.
 
I agree cremaster - YOU just need to suck it up sometime and ask yourself what would Kirk Ferentz do...he would keep rowing his undersized/underpowered boat upstream with the salmon and hope to God (himself in this case) he does not get eaten by the bear. As long as he passes the bear (boards, GI exams, SPAL's, etc), he has a land of FERTILE refuge to attend to. The pond awaits you my friend, but you must take a few scratches before you hear the words, "oh you're a surgeon...i like fast cars too...oh my god i'm naked....of course i am cool with an open relationship." you get the picture.

and if any of you are wondering, i thought of that ANALogy up myself.

Must've been a bad day.... But I feel ya'.... there are definitely those days that I wonder the same things.....

Hope your day get betta'

Thought, I'd post something seeing I haven't posted in such a long time....

Gotta go to Manhattan to watch Lion King in Broadway!!!! I'm currently in Long Island, New York so if anyone has any questions about Good Samaritan Hospital or other NY rotations just let me know....

Later,
JP
 
JP!!!!!!!!!!! Long time no posting, dude! How was 3rd year? So, what are you going to be applying to for residency? Wow, I haven't talked to you in a long time...hope you and your wife are doing well! Keep in touch 😀
 
Hi Des Moines people!
I am wondering if any of you have any thoughts on the surgery program at Mercy. I am thinking of applying, but have heard absolutely nothing as far as reputation. Any comments?

Hi double elle,

We just had a round of lectures for our GI class from many of the current residents and attendings in that program. They all seemed very knowledgeable about it all, and definitely passionate about general surgery. I think they have a good local reputation, even though it's been said that the pimp sessions get intense sometimes, especially during the weekly grand rounds, but it's all in the name of learning. I'd say if I were interested in general surgery, Mercy would definitely be a top consideration. Do you still have time to do an away rotation there?

Good luck!

havent checked SDN in awhile, just want to say...you guys are FU#KED up.
 
Popoy I appreciate the encouragement, school really isn't that bad its just sometimes I feel like instead of seeing the forest through the trees the trees are getting chopped down and pushed at me in an attempt to crush me😉 And any info you have at all on NY rotations would be great. Right now I am thinking michigan for most of third year, but fourth year I want to hit up a couple of spots and NY was one of them. 👍

I also agree with Lucky....I've heard that Mercy is a pretty well respected program and all the residents are knowledgeable and etc. The only "official" thing I've heard is that it is better to rotate through there fourth year over third year because it can get intense, and they do have a couple of residents at each level so student wise sometimes you don't get to do much. However residency wise I would say if you matched with them that would be pretty impressive. Dr. Reed is in charge of most of the program and he is the dean of DMU COM so I can tell you that the questions he asked on the last test were definetly an a** kicker, so if you do go there get ready and know that Oldfather was Allen Whipple's middle name and what Mizzri's syndrome is. Good luck on making your final decision. 🙄

Best analogy I've ever heard, except last night Ferentz's bought hit hurricane Ivan, and that hurricane basically destroyed his crappy little boat and tried to sink my dreams along with it, but I clung to a floating piece of wood and hope that when the wolverines come to town we smack them in the face with a board plank and yell no kitty that's my pot pie kitty..........bad kitty.

GO HAWKS

Remeber you can always get another ball of the same brand. Not everyone only uses one ball for their entire game! Sometimes people use more than one ball at a time. When they hit their ball into a water trap, they take a drop and get a new ball. (Tin Cup Theory) Sometimes using a dented ball isn't too bad, but you don't have to. The dented balls can get more attached, but you might be able to have a party with dented balls. (if you're into that) OK too much golf. Next time can we at least go with a sport I might know better like I don't know mud wresling...
 
You know what I've found out about golf balls..............all they are good for is denting cars and dulling mower blades. You can buy them in huge amounts, there is no one golf ball better than another, regardless of the advertising. The golf balls also will always hook on you and not go where they are supposed to. In my experience its better to give up on golf balls and play bocce ball or horseshoes wink 😉
 
Hell, I don't even know anything about golf.

I grabbed at it because it was sufficiently abstract to me, and because of a surrealist joke I heard in grade school:

How many surrealists does it take to screw in a lightbulb?

Green, stupid. Golf balls don't have hair!

:laugh:

I don't care about golf anymore. I'm gonna' see if I can't try something different: Maybe just grow up.
 
I must say britney spears' new video is worth watching. Wow!
 
In hindsight, GI rocks. Bring on CV. Grrrrrrrrrrr.
 
I believe my body is trying to tell me to stop with caffeine.......if only it understand why i have to do that to it...............how else do you stay up all night to do it as we say in learning GI for the final exam. I must say that britney spears may be hot but she annoys me enough that I need to watch her videos with the sound off. :idea:
 
Is anyone besides me unhappy with their GI test results? I rocked about fifty percent on good ol' drevyanko...I hurt where I sit thanks to semon and hills, but other than that...Oh well, my primary purpose for posting this was to show off my new signature. It's from Kung Pao, Enter the Fist, one of the most hilarious movies ever. I MEAN...CRAP MAN...IS THAT EVEN POSSIBLE? IT'S LIKE A...STOMACH...PLUG. THERES NOT EVEN ORGANS OR ANYTHING.

That's a funny quote my dear Dartos, although I have never seen that movie. Add that to my to-do list. And you are still on my to-do list. Damn it I need to get cracking on everybody and everything I need to do.

This commitment to not study for class this year is working quite well for me. Whatever works I say. I looked through GI Path notes once, and read the Liver/GB/Pancreas chapter in BRS twice. Pretty high-yield, and it taught me what I needed to know. Go figure.
 
The thing lucky needs to realize is some of us are mortal.........so my car to fix two brakes $615, you think hospitals charge a lot..............good thing I'm lazy and hate walking!!!! Dartos the test may have blown, but just remember.............hurry boy she's waiting there for you.........it's gonna take a lot to take me away from you there's nothing that a 100 men or more could ever do.........I bless the rains down in africa 😉

ARGGG!! I didn't realize we had stupid preventitive med first thing in the morning...I could have slept an extra hour. So irritated, not a fan of the guy lecturing either.
 
He seems sort of an elitist jerk...

The opposite if my man, DAN!

I like Dr Deavers...he's sort of quiet, and sounds like Walter Cronkite, but he's linear, and I can PASS his tests.

He makes quizzes for us.

I LOVE HIM...in a very manly kind of non-homo way.

😍
 
You also love cremaster, but in a very girly-man kind of way.

Well guys......I have my SPAL in a bit. All I know is my 2nd differential will be tumulopoopitis. If they let me take a picture of that part of my SOAP I will....because I don't care right now. I Love Butter had the greatest fantasy comeback of the year and now sits atop the league at 2-0. And the Bears whipped the Packers.........I LOVE LOVIE. GO BEARS!!!!!!!

If it's girly to want a little help from some battery operated friends then by God I don't want to be manly. And if it's girly to ask your wife to "be the man in bed" once a week, then I'm a girly-man every day of the week. Sometimes twice on sundays. Sometimes over lunch.
