Yeehaw!

 

[Pingu]

Although the email subject line 'Did I match?' made me loosen my bowels. what kind of sick ****ers are these NRMP people?

 

[Gut Shot]

Bingo!

Seriously!

 

[b&ierstiefel]

I wonder if NRMP sends all the programs a sadistic email saying, "Did I fill?"

"Congratulations! Your program has filled!"

 

[Pookies]

Cool.

Nap Time

That ACLS exam must have really stressed you out!

What do penguins know about ACLS.

Rescue breaths with a beak? Compressions with those wings?
I would rather have the AFLAC Duck!

Blame it on the spam filtering. or something else the IT guys did.

 

[Pingu]

WHERE's MY E-MAIL!!!!!

Blame it on The Man....he's trying to keep you down.

I'm still waiting for the NRMP email that says...we're sorry, that last email was an error...you did not match and we are laughing at your sorry ass

Downhill? Hahahhahahahahaha..(catches breath)....Hahahahahahahaahahahaahahahahahahaha....(wheezes)....hahahahahahahahahahahahahah

Good one.

 

[geddy]

And there was much rejoicing. Yay...

 

[anonymous23]

Yay!!!

 

[Harbster]

woohooo

 

[jeff2005]

I'm not going to be unemployed next year! Yeah! Now the nightmare can stop.

 

[EUA]

BOO-YAH!!!!!!!!

today is a very, very good day.

 

[Patrick O]

I have spent too much time sitting in the shadows of SDN as an observer throughout the entire ERAS process..... too lazy to find out what my password was from almost 4 years ago before I entered med school.... but today is a different day.....I had to throw my 2 cents in because I matched to a program I actually want to go to (I ranked only the 5 I liked best) ... and the NRMP definitely gave me some lovin today... I can't wait until Thursday !!

Best of Luck to everyone!!!

 

[Gut Shot]

Downhill? Hahahhahahahahaha..(catches breath)....Hahahahahahahaahahahaahahahahahahaha....(wheezes)....hahahahahahahahahahahahahah

Good one.

It's nice to see a double entendre not go to waste. As my father said when I told him the news: "Way to go, son! Now all you have to look forward to is work, retirement and death."

 

[Thrombus]

I got matched too

hoping for one of my top 3 spots

GL everyone

 

[DasN]

Matched, now the question is where

 

[pez head]

matched. thank you jebus!

(random sidenote: i met a dude with "thank you jebus" and homer's hands praying with rosary tattoo'd on his chest. dang. i just got back from a drunken pilgrimage of 3000ish miles. it was the perfect distraction from obsessing about the future. and i saw a shoplifting she-male get tackled in vegas. it was ugly, but novel.)

 

[b&ierstiefel]

the numbers look really good here. congratulations to all of you. hopefully we will match at our top choices in just a few days.

p.s. don't you think this whole process is really disturbing? nrmp plays this little game with us. "hey let's make these ****ers wait 3 weeks. then let's just shoot them an email just to whet their appetite and to make them sweat. then let's make them stew about it for 3 days."

STFU, you matched!

 

[cytoborg]

STFU, you matched!

stormjen, was the news good for you?

 

[stormjen]

I haven't been able to celebrate all day because the two friends I checked my email with this morning both didn't match. So I've been forced to supress my own personal emotions all day en lieu of a more somber tone.

Hell yeah, I matched! But this was not terribly exciting for me due to the number and quality of programs I ranked. Thursday will be the big day for me.

 

[yaah]

Congratulations to everyone who matched - I know the next few days are going to be a pain in the rump but just try to enjoy yourself and keep busy.

Great - just checking. Too bad about your friends...but you can let your hair down with us!

Congrats all! It is great to read so much good news from the NRMP!

That wry sense of humour was not entirely the product of environment, I see.

 

[deschutes]

In the general anti-climatic atmosphere of the day, my one-liner came sandwiched between a "Missing rotation evaluation form" email message and the next trauma progress note.

I am getting greedy. I will not settle for anything less than #1 now. My schweet schweet number one... come to me!

 

[b&ierstiefel]

Oh look at you being greedy and all. Matching isn't good enough for ya ey?

Today is an awesome day!

 

[cjw0918]

Happy to join the matched club! I will enjoy the next 2 and a half days pretending I matched at my #1 choice. For now, the dream is still alive. Thursday it may all be shot to hell. Good luck, friends!

Well, my e-mail arrived sometime after 1:00pm....how cruel was that!!?? At least I have a home for the next four years!

Matched and passed step 2 BS! Can I have my cap and gown now?

Sorry it's not reeally on topic, but a very funny Simpsons sequence:

Homer: Hi uhm.. let me have one of those porno magazines, large box of condoms, a bottle of Old Harper, couple of those panty shields and some illegal fireworks and one of those disposable enema's.. uhm.. no make it two!

Clerk who looks like Apu: My apologies, sir, but the sale of fireworks is prohibited in this state and is punishable by a f... follow me.


Marge: Gee Homer, I dont know what you've got planned for tonight but count me out!

 

[bananaface]

Sorry it's not reeally on topic, but ...

I can't believe you are actually apologizing for going off topic in the path forum!

Mrs. Simpson! You did not pay for that bottle of Colonel Kwik-E-Mart's Kentucky Bourbon!

p.s. I found out today that the programs find out who matched with them tomorrow - but they have to keep it a secret under penalty of death, apparently. They won't even tell us poh residents!

Heard this also...I think that your medical school will also have access to this information tomorrow. Just tell us already...

 

[yaah]

Yes, perhaps if I hit on Dr McKenna enough she will tell me.

 

[stormjen]

I actually got an email from a program where I interviewed that didn't fill. They basically told me that they don't know which residents they got until tomorrow, but if I didn't match to please contact them for one of the spots they didn't fill.

That's really interesting. But of course you matched ... and if all goes the way you envision, you got either #1 or #2. Rock on!
