I was just planning on resurrecting this thread, when I scrolled down, saw the hideous picture Funk posted, and realized what topic was being discussed. I also noticed that the placenta I saw today is not nearly as nasty as the dermoid cysts (I prefer watching cystectomies to delivering babies, though).

thank you for the page, by the way. It helped me survive the extreme boredome that is ambulatory internal medicine. on a plus note...my preceptor is a med/peds guy, so I still get to see some kids. I feel like i'm cheating the system somehow.

And for Xandie and Don...what the hell is this formative OSCE thing for internal medicine, and how serious should I take it?
 
Formative OSCE... hmm... drawing a blank here. I'm sure I took it, but can't remember jack about it. This probably means that it's not that important.

Mock not my field, peoples, lest you be mocked.

DON! We have a thread!!!

Our thread is the step-child of the MCW class threads. Only dragged into the sunshine about once every six months, and then thrown back into the cellar.

On the other hand, if we can get this thread to the magic 1000 post mark by the time we graduate, then we can change it to the MCW Alumni thread.
 
It's the red-headed stepchild at that... you know, I've been a red-headed step child for about 9 years, on and off... hmm...

Graduation is 8 months and 5 days away. Not that I'm counting.

The formative OSCE is a practice run-through for the real OSCE at the end of the rotation. Don't bother preparing or anything, but don't chat between encounters cuz you'll get yelled at like we did. You'll see 3 pts, write one note, see the checklists, and watch yourself on the video for one encounter.

Medicine tries to make the OSCE as much like the Step 2 CS as they can.

Ugh.

I have my OB/gyn osce next week. Craptacular. Have I counseled anyone on birth control or anything like that? Nopers. (I did my first pelvic exam today -- 4 weeks into the rotation... go me). Go St. Mary's and not much work.

Are there any penis questions that aren't emergent, really?
Click to expand...
Haha, I guess I've been lucky enough to avoid any situations thus far in life. I've just heard that urology tends to be pretty easy on the overnight call, because there aren't many urological emergencies other than something like testicular torsion or a priapism.

Did he take it out himself without deflating it while perhaps in an impaired state? That's all I can think of.

Wait, maybe I didn't think of it. Maybe I've heard this story.

sadly it was still in place. apparently the pain was quite excrutiating. you'd think he would have been happier that we transported him to the nearest facility instead of his choice hospital.
 
Just urology, Don's our little over-achiever! I'm the lovable under-achiever. That's why we make such a good team. 😛

I thought of Don today, or more specifically, his career of choice. Our path book has a nice photo of a scrotum with a syphilitic chancre on it. It would be entirely unremarkable, except that they thanked the physician who provided the photo - a certain Dr. Richard Johnson. Talk about having a name that predestined you for a given career right from the start.

Interesting choice of words, my curly haired friend.

Not a scrotologist.

A urologist.
 
Scrotology sounds awesome!! You should invent a religion based on worship of asymmetrical pairs of spheres or something.
 
Wow I didn't even know our class had its own thread! All this time! And discussion about scrotology too, I've been missing out.
 
Ashers said:
This isn't the liveliest thread of the bunch. It dies and comes back every-so-often, so we (all classes) just take over any thread that has MCW in it.

Yeah, I kinda noticed the big gaps of a few months or more every once in a while. I suppose MCW isn't that interesting to chat about. Scrotology certainly is though. It should have its own forum with the other subspecialties.

Scrotologists could identify themselves by wearing the testes size bead thing as necklace. Racine FP clinic has that hanging up and a ginormous book about ED.

Oh, and we MAKE mcw interesting. Or we all just complain about rotations/classes.
 
Scrotology sucks... I don't like boy parts (well... at least not while I'm at work).
 
Mmm... cycle beads... that makes me think of this picture I have of this bulletin board at a hospital in Malaysia with different types of birth control. There were condoms, pills, diaphragms, and a calendar, for the rhythm method. Good times, great lakes... or oceans. Nevermind.

I'm hungry.
 
Mmmm... alfredo pizza.

Ok so I'm just looking for an excuse to resurrect this thread. 2008! WOO WOO!
 
Ashers said:
alfredo pizza? like alfredo sauce instead of marinara sauce? that sounds good.

With chicken and purple onions and a few green peppers and tomatoes (not too much). It is good.
 
This is SO the red-headed stepchild of the MCW threads. Poor thread. I'LL BE YOUR FRIEND.

So are you guys going to come by and say hi in here after you graduate?

they'll start respective threads at their respective residencies, and we'll come and take those over too.
 
I'd love to send this thread to the SDN version of palliative care. There it could get a legal overdose of pain medication and finally be put out of its misery.

oh, it's not that bad. it's just like the ugly child the parents keep locked in the attic...needs to see light every now and then.

one of the funniest Japanese prank shows I saw was a port-a-potty that would open its top and then lift the occupant (whose pants are around their ankles) up into the open air.

ah, just found it on youtube

You also could have found it as the first prank video that AchyBrachy posted about three posts up.

You just got pOWNED.
 
Boys, behave or I will pull this thread over.

I don't recall. You should ask your *insert Prowler's most beloved female relative here*.

JackieChan!

I lost my ninja mask today at school. 🙁 Now my delicate princess nose will freeze and turn red and I will get rosacea and look like WC Fields and everyone will laugh and also my nose will be cold.
 
Hey, can we merge this one too?

Oh wait....
