Hey it was fun though. Good game!!!

Hhhmmm...as for the beer. I didn't bring any cuz of path studying afterwards. Although, I must say, I'm quite tempted by it sitting in my fridge right now. It's 0.08 now instead of 0.1, so I'm thinking I can only have 2. Where can you buy your own breathalyzer (I have heard that they're cheap as well)? Are they accurate?

I think my brother got it from www.buy.com and it seems to be accurate - it goes up as you drink more and it decreases after you stop drinking - but I'm not sure how closely it resembles your actual BAC.

A girl from the M1 class either broke or severely sprained her ankle during our softball game tonight. I don't know her name, but if you see someone walking around school with crutches on Monday, wish her your condolences.

She went to slide into 2nd base and caught her foot on the edge of the bag...I was in right field and could hear her ankle pop. 😱 It was pretty much your classic plantar-flexed inversion ankle sprain with anterior talofibular or calcaneofibular ligament involvement, but when I ran up there to help her it was already quite swollen, which makes me think it was broken.

that sucks. as if life wasn't tricky enough already right now. I'll keep my eyes peeled....

wouldn't happen to be Diane Braza, would it? if so, it's one of my dad's doctors and landscape clients...
Click to expand...

Yeah, it was Diane Braza. Nothing against her, I just wanted to be in a group led by an orthopaedist. Since I learned nothing (not enough time allotted to teach/practice/be effective), and my thumb hurt too much to manipulate knees, my dad's gonna teach me the exam again -- being a hospital brat has its advantages.

Not that I'd know anything after our little CER thing on Wednesday. I was highly disappointed in that.
Click to expand...

Yeah, I didn't seem to learn much there either, and pretty much had the same complaints i.e. not enough time, poor organization, etc, etc.
The good thing is that for many of the physical exam maneuvers, even though you may not remember them, you will have at least heard of them/seen them done/maybe tried it when it comes time to do some of them on the wards.

Do the doctors just assume that we don't know them then? Even though we supposedly learned the stuff?

Meh... sort of. Some stuff they assume you know how to do (actually, most of the physical exam, but it's just the "normal" stuff: heart and lungs, reflexes, neuro exam, etc). But anything totally crazy, they'll expect that you at least need to see it a time or two.

Of course, if you're not sure about something, ask, ask ask!! Everyone is always willing to show you something, even if it's pretty straightfoward.

Until what? The world stops sucking and we fall off?

I just started going through Netter and checking off the cranial nerves and facial muscles we have to know, and now my frontal sinuses hurt and I don't even know what innervates that. Trigeminal?

The anterior part of V1 are where the motor innervation is. Keep that in mind. When your sinuses are so pressurized that your upper teeth hurt, your Superior Alveolar (post., middle, and anterior) Nerves are where the pain is coming from. When you've blown your nose so many times that the tip of your nose is nearly bleeding, the pain comes through V2's maxillary division.

I don't know what actually causes the sinus headaches but someone somewhere said most headaches or from the nerves in the Dura Mater.

Whoa, whoa, whoa. Keep your Eastern Philosophy medicine out of this allopathic medical school thread. Countless randomized controlled trials have shown that all headaches come courtesy of devilish little elves living in the sulci of your brain.

Cripes, kids. Don't go overlooking those devilish elves until you study them in Neuro next semester.

DANG IT! Yet another thing that I didn't remember from neuro... You'd think I'd remember stuff about headaches seeing that I get migraines. I guess those just come from devils that live in the sulci.

this breathalyzer is a pretty decent price.

I love that company. Their catalog is like when the JC Penney Christmas catalog used to come when I was a kid. I can find something I want on every page.

speaking of which, making loud comments in my presence that are indirectly directed at me DO count as breaking the non-speaking clause of our relationship. I daresay you cracked first.

It's getting disturbingly kinky around here.
 
please tell me nobody here was involved in that caramel ass-patting on SDN a year or two ago...

Oh, no, not on SDN. Caramel is a strictly private pleasure for me.

Me and my olfactory, intermediate, and glossopharyngeal nerves.

Been studying? Which is the intermediate?

It's an itsy-bitsy nerve in between 7 and 8. Does the anterior 2/3 of tongue for taste, and does motor for the sublingual, submandibular, and lacrimal glands. And something else...I forget. Thanks for asking.

Back to the nerve mines!
 
I wonder what the psychiatrists would think if we submitted this thread to them, especially the most recent part. Or maybe even pre-test conversations, but then I guess that would implicate me. 🙄

I definitely have traits of the Cluster C personality disorders.... avoidant, dependent and obsessive-compulsive (minus the extreme orderliness) 😀

In order to study the clusters and traits, one of my friends and I associated our friends/people we know to the different disorders. It was fun. Unfortunately, when we were done, we didn't have Marc in any of them. We were surprised. You're your own category that we obviously haven't learn about yet.

I have my own field of study. That's why I didn't fit into any of them.

I'm ashamed that you even tried.

life is better than you'd think
you don't even need a stiff drink
here's a hint
i found a thin mint
i ate it before you could blink!
 
i think i've seen you somewhere, i remember...you were with that man they took away. i recognize your face.

....you've got the wrong man lady; i don't know him. and I wasn't where he was tonight; never near the place.


....that's strange, for I am sure I saw you with him! you were right by his side, and yet you deny?

....I tell you I was never, ever with him!!!

....but I saw you too, it looked just like you!!

....I DON'T KNOW HIM!!!!

....Peter, don't you know what you have said? You've gone and cut him dead.

...I had to do it, don't you see? Or else they'd go for me.

...it's what he told us you would do. I wonder how he knew?
