Good Websites for Allopathic Medical Students

democoda · Mar 13, 2007

Hello, just giving you all an update for http://www.pimpnotes.com

1) I have recently added printing macros to the grids, which ensure clean printing of all forms.
2) We now have WIKI GUIDES for USMLE Step 1 & USMLE Step 2 -- please join and contribute to this project.

Pimp Notes Grids hosts open-source (free) pathophysiology comparison grids along with pathophysiology flash cards.

Best,
Scott

i would say amazing work

thanks a lot.www.pathguy.com good site

alandstr · Apr 7, 2007

I found a few basic science websites to be helpful when I was in the clinic (in addition to class).

eMedicine from WebMD has tons of online calculators (BMI, APGAR, Glasgow, anion gap, etc.) along with some helpful online pictures (dermatomes, etc.)
http://www.emedicine.com/splash/shared/etools/index.htm

For basic science review while in the clinic I liked PubMed Bookshelf
http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/entrez/query.fcgi?db=Books

And the ubiquitous Robbins and Cotran Path Basis of Disease
http://www.robbinspathology.com/default.cfm

In fact, I use Robbins a lot for clinical correlations to my basic science research.

Hey I was wondering if anyone knew of any websites that have videos (just like animations and stuff) that would help me get acute and chronic inflammation in my head? I learn visually...

kpinitreel · May 11, 2007

Try metaRads to search for radiology cases - you can view thumbnails of the cases to find exactly what you are looking for:

This is a site with lots of texts online (searchable). It has Streyer and a lot of other ones I haven't checked out yet. Worth checking out before buying a text.

It's like a basic science version of Access Medicine.

And speaking of Access Medicine, we get free access through our library, which I'm guessing most schools provide. There are a ton of textbooks available online there, including Harrison's.

does anyone know of any online self-testing resources for electron microscopy images of human tissue? just looking at images in the ross histology text or online (i.e: http://www.udel.edu/biology/Wags/histopage/empage/empage.htm) hasn't been effective for me. any input would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks alot guys - awesome links - consider it bookmarked!!

does anyone know where i can get decent anatomical models
in the UK - i've found http://www.anatomical.com but they have to ship them from the USA.

I have also found http://www.inoneword.co.uk but am unsure about what i will get for the price.

sweetpeamd09 · Feb 2, 2008

Can someone please post some online resources and/or quizzes for physio. and neuro.? I noticed there were a lot of cardiac sites already posted, but any other cell, muscle, neurophysio. sites would be great, as well as other neuro. sites. I've been googling for it and I'm just getting crap.

However, I did find: http://www.sinauer.com/neuroscience4e/ for Neuro. It has animations and summaries. If your professor uses the site (which he/she might if they use Purves), he or she can enable the online quizzes section, as well. Ciao!

If anyone wants to research popular cancer treatment options such as Radiation Therapy, Surgery or Chemotherapy, this site provides good starting points www.researchmesotheliomacancer.com

Radiation Therapy (radiotherapy) uses a high-dose of radiation signals (ionizing radiation) to kill or destroy cancerous tumors within the lungs. Radiotherapy injures the tumors in such a way that they will not be able to grow and divide, as well as not be able to enter the bloodstream and flow to other parts of the body. The type of radiation used can range from neutrons, photons, cobalt, high energy x-rays, etc. The purpose of radiation therapy is to either prevent future growth of malignant tumors (where no cancerous cells are currently present) and as a palliative treatment to help ease the pain and suffering created from the symptoms of mesothelioma.

Chemotherapy is the treatment of mesothelioma cancer by the use of chemical substances. It is the use of cytotoxic drugs to build a standardized treatment regime. Essentially the drugs are strong forms of antibotics.

By itself or in combination with pre or post operative therapies, surgery has had disappointing results for people with mesothelioma. One treatment known as pleurectomy opens up the patients chest and then the doctor removes the mesothelioma tumor from the surface of the lung. Generally this treatment is to lessen pain, it is not a cure for mesothelioma. However, if used in early treatment combined with other forms of treatment such as chemotherapy and radiation therapy the patient's life can be prolonged. This treatment does have a low mortality rate when compared to more invasive procedures such as extrapleural pneumonectomy.

I would have to know, I dont think that i could sleep until I was tested and maybe if it was positive I could just get on with the acceptance but I dont know

cpants · May 15, 2008

I would want to know, and I would probably drop out. If I was going to die very young, I wouldn't want to sit in school for the next 7-10 years. Time to start living life: getting married, maybe kids, traveling, being with family.

stiffany · May 15, 2008

Just because you have the Huntington's gene, that doesn't mean you're going to die "very young." Can't people live into their 50s if they don't have a lot of repeats?

Personally, I think this is an issue that should be discussed at length with a genetic counselor or a psychologist who can guide you through the process and help you figure out your worries, doubts, and also priorities. After all, if someone has always wanted to be a doctor (for whatever reason) and can't imagine doing anything else, should a potentially decreased life expectancy stop them if that's a dream?

50's is very young. Most people won't get to be an attending until their late 20's or early 30's. Would you still want to be a doctor if you knew you would be spending ~60% of your life in school to get there? This would be the equivalent of school/residency until you were 45-50 for people with a normal life expectancy. Also don't forget that a Huntington's patients will not be able to practice medicine toward the end of life due to symptoms.

Obviously people have to make their own choices, but I would choose to do something else and have as much time as possible enjoying myself with my family.

pseudomonas said:
If you found out you carried the Huntington's gene, would you drop out of medicine?
What if you didn't know... yet. But were at that 50% risk. Would you get tested?
Just looking for opinions Thanks..

I like what if games. If I found out I was at risk, I would definitely get tested. I couldn't cope with knowing that I could know but not knowing... Plus I would have to know whether or not I could have kids b/c I don't think I could have kids if I found out I had it.

If I found out I had Huntington's, I wouldn't drop out. I would however consider the much less competitive fields (FM, peds) so I could slack off on studying so much and not have to do well on the boards. If I know I'm going to die young, I'll try even harder to live it up now. I want to do either surgery or EM right now, but if I am going to die young than I don't want to waste the time and effort that it takes to completely surg. I may still do EM b/c residency can only be 3 years and it is only mid-range competitive.

I think I'm not going to have to deal with this though, as my folks are ~60 and have no symptoms, so I think I'm ok.

There is a resource site that has been put together that lists useful resources for medical students. It also has treatment guidelines for docs and residents to refer to:

New stuff is constantly being added, so it should become pretty useful.
