Ahhh... that's a part of the fiduciary responsibility right? What if I don't want to be begin treatment on a black hole? Or what if a certain black hole has the potential to pull me to Dimension X with Krang and no Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles to save me nearby? I, surely, wouldn't have to start treatment on that black hole.

You always have the right to withhold treatment from any black hole, vampire, cartoon character, or even leprechauns and fairies. Just remember to refuse and refer.

I would definitely treat a black hole that would send me to Dimension X with Krang and Shredder. Maybe I was the only one, but I always cheered for the Foot Clan to destroy the Turtles (but only after Raphael showed his true colors and betrayed his brothers and Splinter).

Wow...I've officially learned something tonight while studying ethics: I was twisted even as a child.

Hmmm, that might compromise your Universal Precautions. Obviously it's a very personal decision. I like nitrile, but they have to fit tight on my hand -- no wrinkles whatsoever. I used to have to wear gloves for hours at a time in the lab when working with monkeys, so my decision was based off of much trial and error. Plus, with purple nitrile you get the benefits of both fashion and function.

We had vinyl gloves on the floor that I used to draw blood because in the lab we had the blue nitrile. Those were slippery though, which is why I like latex more. Even our tourniquets were latex free.

Vinyl should be banned from the face of the planet. I cringed every time I saw someone wearing vinyl gloves in anatomy lab. I had to wear them once and my hands smelled like cadaver for 3 days.

I always liked the hovering cars that the teens from Dimension X had. That, for me, would be the only reason to go there. I wouldn't mind going to visit Grayskull if there were a black hole to visit He-Man and She-Ra.
 
Nitrile is truly the only way to go. Why should we even care whether you can find a vein or not? Isn't that what we keep nurses around for?

Hahahahahaha...allied health professionals!:laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

But if you draw someone's blood with them, you can feel the vein, and the person doesn't smell like cadaver to begin with.

Speaking of He-Man, did you ever watch the Masters of the Universe live-action motion picture starring Dolph Lundgren? The only thing more hilarious than the movie is the director's commentary on the DVD in which he apologizes for the movie over and over and then tells the story of how they filmed the final fight between He-Man and Skeletor in the dark because the production company cut the electricity to the studio on them.

haha. No, never saw that.

However, in director's commentary for Kung Pow: Enter the Fist, Steve Oedekerk said that they were running so low on money that they filmed a scene in his back yard with a hair dryer blowing on him to simulate wind and a flashlight for light at night.

You're kinda like the creepy old guy who lives across the street and sits at the end of your driveway on a foldout chair all day watching the cars drive by. Then, at night, one can barely see that there is a small corner of your curtains pulled back with a pair of binoculars pointed straight at our window.

that probably didn't take away any creeptitude. Rest well knowing I've never seen any of you in real life.

That reminded me of Senor Cardgage.
 
Prowler handed the baton off to me when we were the only two people laughing at the giant bloody vagina.
 
We might have been gagging. I can't remember. Med school has caused a merger between my joy and my pain.



JOY........Pain

So it is written, so it shall come to pass.
 
Hi, I posted this in a Pre-allo thread but didn't get many responses, so I thought I might ask y'all:

I got a Congrats Letter from my interviewer 👍 (not the 'Welcome to MCW from Mr. Mike) . Did anyone else get this, or is this way out of the ordinary? If you did get one, did you send a thank you note back? Or just nail it to your wall and move on?

THANKS!

I did not. Write a short little thank-you note back. It can't hurt and since they took time to write to you, it would be a courtesy to reply.

I didn't get that either. And I agree that you should probably write a thank you back to be considerate. That's not something that every interviewer does.

Looks like a good sign though!

I never received a letter like this either. I agree that writing a quick thank-you note would be appropriate. You must have made a good impression 😉

Thank you note it is! Thank you guys very much! I never got anything like this from any other school, so I wasn't sure what to do. I guess it's just further proof to why MCW is special!😀 😀
 
I just wanted to clear things up for our friendly neighborhood M1s in the thread:

Second year sucks. Really, really hard. The lack of block testing sucks. Bad. The only thing that sucks worse is the fact that the material is simply not testable in any other format. There is 0% chance that any of us could do well on micro and pathology tests if they were on consecutive days. Just too much crap to know. The school also forces you to attend all sorts of useless clinical and ethical crap that will help you zilch in the long-run.

So yeah, don't listen to the drugged up M2s that tell you life is better second year. You might be happier simply because you come to the conclusion that medical education is a joke simply to be endured, but the curriculum certainly isn't going to be doing you any favors.

Please, fellow M2s, let us lay these horrible delusions to rest before our M1 colleagues make plans for extensive vacations next year.

Disclaimer: Spring semester of M1 year is the hotness. Anything you hear about the semester ruling is in fact true. Plan to start your own web-business or learn an instrument during your free time that semester.

sure you have. You've been in the library at the same time as some of them. As for the homemade videos, akpete says she has not excluded the possibility of winning a million dollars and sleeping with two dudes at the same time.

Yeah, but you only have one semester left of basic science education, evAr. We're only 25% of the way through.

I forgot about that. Suckers. Oh, and say hi to the neuro course director, for me in the spring. 😉
 
I tried to warn some people about second year... it's kind of a disaster. But life does, indeed, get better later. Take my word for it. 🙂

I guess she needs to see something to believe in it, even though I did introduce myself (using my screenname even) at the organization fair during our M1 year. I admit I decided it was better for me to communicate with her over the internets after that though, as she is a cute little shorty and I am freakishly tall and didn't want to make her uncomfortable.

you know I am 007 for this thread.

ethics down=less BS.
come to think of it, I think overall there is a lot less of your time wasted in the spring (or I got better at avoiding things like that).

I'll spare you from being the last post of all of Thanksgiving weekend, Don. Are you 3rd years going to be working the holiday, or are they giving you time off?

Did you guys find the Health Policy class to be interesting/enlightening, or is it another one of those classes that has great potential to teach us things that will be useful in the real wold that goes completely unrealized due to the way the course is set up? How about Human Sexuality, too?
 
Man, every time I go to L&D to see some action, there's a great calm that spreads across the floor. I wanna see babies, dangit. Two of them were born two hours before I got there, too.


but the youngest looking attending award was handed out today. I thought she was a resident, maybe.
 
Who'd you see? I love L&D.

I have thanksgiving day off, and I wasn't supposed to have Friday off, but I worked my way around that with some sweet talk. (shh... it's a secret). I'm on call Saturday 7-2 though. And I'm on neuro.
 
Dr. Manning. Turns out I know her husband. He was a very, very conservative columnist for the UWM Post, and I used to read his article every week. She pulled up his website to show off pics of their 18 month old, and I realized I knew him. Her response, "Bet you didn't know he was married to a black woman." :laugh:
