Sorry about that...I just had to vent a little bit. Getting sick of looking at mechanisms of action DOC second DOC backup to the backup DOC...it's crap.

word.

i hate this test. one more friggin day.

I hate it too--why couldn't the names be a little more catchy so I could remember all these stupid drugs?

 

[DarksideAllstar]

Some of us came up with some slogans for various drugs. My personal favorite was, "Get it on with Buproprion."--Just a catchy way of saying that it has no sexual side effects.

Thats nice...I'll use that!!! 👍 👍

DOC? you're studying for step 2 or step 1. i dont think there's much DOC on step 1. side effects and mechanisms mostly

COMLEX has DOC questions 😡

does anyone else feel like the part of their brain that has to do with pharm is actually a sieve with some rather large cavernous holes in it?

I've declared my brain to be pharm resistant.

Apparently my brain is a big sieve with respect to everything that I have learned in med school. Or, maybe my brain is full of amyloid 🙄

If this is true, it'd be pretty sweet lookin' with some Congo red.

mmm....apple-green birefringence....laaahh (Homer drool)

On a side note.... please pharm stay in my brain for 10 more days! please, please, please!

 

[Clair de Lune]

It will! Then you can forget all about it again 🙂 I can't wait til June 18 when I can have my life back!

 

[DRealDrZ]

Dr. Mom, I was wondering what was the DOC for Pharm Resistance... 🙂 I can't wait for COMLEX to be over with...holy crap.

I was kind of laughing at this thread until I started my Big Pharm Review today. I give up...there is NO WAY these drugs are going to stick. I'm okay with antibiotics, but the STUPID antineoplastics are killing me. I keep getting 6 MP and methotrexate confused, and I have no clue what most of the others do. I keep re-reading the section in FA, Lippincott, etc., etc., but still nothing.

I think the Pharm portion of my brain is Teflon-coated.... 😕 🙁

If only I knew...

 

[LovelyRita]

what fries me about this whole pharm bs is that you KNOW that you'll be out on rotations next year and your attending will be like "what should we give this person?" and you'll say (fill in blank--i have a pharm resistance as well)
and attending will go..."well, i don't really like that drug, so we'll use this "

you know it you know it you KNOW IT!!!!!! 😡

 

[DRealDrZ]

And not only that...they will use the trade name...and you'll be like "WTF?" 👍

 

[DarksideAllstar]

Isnt this why we have pocket pharmacoepia(sp)? This is totally useless (aside from knowing, I need to give this type of patient this type of drug to alleviate these symptoms). The minutiae is best dealt with by looking it up in a book, imho.

Pharm can suck one.
PS- could Q bank pick any more obscure drugs for some of these question?
