hey, indo, word on the street has it that your favorite faculty member was wearing CFM boots yesterday, but I wasn't present to verify that.

That is what I heard too! Today she was wearing boat shoes. Maybe she's taking a cruise.

She? I was talking about Dr. Wagner.

 

[indo]

Wagner's ass is too big for me.

 

[samenewme]

Wagner's ass is too big for me.

See, this right here is why I am concerned I do not have the attention to detail to be a physician. I've looked at stars in the sky, cadavers, countless pages of notes, lots and lots of online quizzes, but despite many hours of watching Dr. Wagner stand on his little stepstool and scrawl on the board, I have never looked at his ass.

How can I go on?

Hmmm, I've never noticed either. I've noticed that he's short and has a big nose (and soft hands, as I was his heart sound model in lab), but never the bootay.

Hah, I've heard that he still runs 4 miles per day.

 

[indo]

Do you both wonder why the brain images we have to study off of are remarkably different than the images we are shown during neuro lab exams?

yeah, he still gets around. keeps those glutes in shape.


and yes, I've noticed that the exam pics would be nice to study with, but alas, we don't get those.

 

[Gimlet]

So here's a question for you M-1's since you're all physiology experts by now. If bladder contraction and urethral sphincter muscle relaxation are under parasympathetic control, why do people sometimes pee their pants when they get scared? I'm seriously curious.

I got nuthin', though I am relieved that my brief Web search did not dig up ickier results than it did. This is a great question for a medical reference librarian.

 

[45408]

Well, I got two of the phys questions that I argued back - both of the ones where I had to go digging through old lectures. I'm a little surprised about the vasa recta question though. Still didn't make the cut-off though.

You da man! None of the fixed questions helped me, but moving the cutoff did, so I am a happy, happy woman. Yay for us for sucking so bad they had to move the cutoff!

I have a quick question for anyone willing to help. Is HRC the same as the Basic Science Building? I have an interview and I cannot find the BSB on maps. If they are not the same, could someone point me in the right direction? Thanks.

The Basic Science Bulding is connected to the HRC, but not the same building. The HRC is what most people would probably consider the "new" portion of the school (at least, before the research center was completed last fall). The basic sciences building is west of the HRC ("behind" it), and the construction is a lot older than the rest of the school.

If you walk into the main entrance of the school, take a right past the information desk and go back into the building in the hallway where the bookstore is. When you pass the cafeteria, there will be a hallway in front of you with the outdoor pseudo-atrium on the left and the new research building on the right. Go straight down that hallway past the atrium and you will now be in the Basic Science building. There will be a set of elevators there that should take you to whichever department you need to be in for your interview.

Good luck!

Hey 2010ers! I just finished my Step 1 up yesterday and I like to think positively, so I'm going to assume I passed. That means I have a bunch of review books laying around that I won't be using again, and I'd be happy to pass them on to any interested parties for a fair price.

Group sale, individual books, whatever. I figured I would give you folks first shot at them before the book sale in the fall, so drop me a PM if you would like to take a look at the booklist (I don't feel like posting it in the open because some of the items start with a "K" and rhyme with "Raplan"--I hear they can be kinda fussy about these things).

Thread killer!

It's ALIVE!!!

 

[indo]

It's ALIVE!!!

Rumor has it that we lost 70 or 80 students from our class.

 

[indo]

It's ALIVE!!!

acromegaly

 

[Agent Splat]

acromegaly

i'd be more worried about the foreign object penetrating through his neck.

 

[Xandie]

Also, the bad makeup.

 

[Agent Splat]

Also, the bad makeup.

not to mention the lame, inaccurate representation of the true intellectual and emotional capabilities of Mary Shelley's actual monster.

 

[45408]

acromegaly

what's that?

 

[indo]

not to mention the lame, inaccurate representation of the true intellectual and emotional capabilities of Mary Shelley's actual monster.

she wrote that when she was 14 or 13...brilliant.








acromegaly is the cause of Fournier's gangrene. heehee. Where's Donnyfuego with teh uro consult?

 

[indo]

It isn't actually going through his neck. It is part of his North Face Camelback that the actor uses for long days on the set.

i can tell it's doing a good job keeping him hydrated.

I'm the uro this month, kids. Worship at my feet... or just put lidocaine on them. They hurt!

 

[indo]

so how many cases of Fornier's Gangrene have you seen thus far this month?


If I were named Donny I would insist that I be called Donny Fuego. It sounds passionate and fiery. The ladies love that.

Is "Raplan" the Roundy's version of Kaplan?

 

[DoctorFunk]

D@mn skippy. Raplan even comes with a "special prize" in the box that Kaplan just don't offer.

Disclaimer: Special prize is only for the ladies.

Well, as we all know, I have a gigantic crush on Stringbean. Can I buy the books just to get the special prize?

Passionate and fiery. That's me. But I'm just a bit too wonderbread, don't you think.

I've seen a few cases of fournier's. The most recent last month on a patient who developed it following a trauma. That's what happens when a rectal injury empties into a pelvic hematoma.


Xandie- how's pedi-uro?

hah! well done!

 

[Xandie]

It's awesome, actually. I really love it. Even if the hours are a little rough (don't have to be in until 730 today, so that's a bonus).

 

[DoctorFunk]

I could never make you pay to get the special prize.

You would, however, have to fill out one of those annoying "Don't Need to Purchase to Win" forms and include a self-addressed stamped envelope. 😉

Extra postage necessary.

Is it bigger than a breadbox?

you probably don't have an outside job either. it sucks.

 

[indo]

Nope. Luckily the construction work back home never involved this kind of ****ty humidity.

 

[DoctorFunk]

Bet those cush lab internships are looking pretty good right about now. 😉

I spent mine babysitting another med student.

check out the dew point. that's where the money is. anything above 55 = sucks.

 

[45408]

So the class of 2010 lost more people than I would have guessed. I wonder if the attrition rates are going to continue through the years, or if most people who are going to leave/repeat will do so the first year. I would have NO motivation to study if I had to repeat first year. 😳

Any original 09ers in your class now? I heard 11 people from your class are no longer with the 10ers -- 7 of them joined the 11ers.

um, I know that the mother of five or six who started with you guys is supposed to graduate with us, but I think she was on the five year plan all along? I haven't spotted anybody from '09 yet, but they might be there.

I counted 7 people in the names and faces book (the Robbins infomercial did get a bit long) that are now class of 2011 that started with us, but I only know of two people who are completely gone. I sure hope they decided that this wasn't for them, otherwise getting expelled would really really suck.

One of the people who quit did really well but absolutely hated medical school.

It's a lot better to realize that now than to have gone another three years and another hundred grand in the hole. If said person did "really well," can they donate their grades? Or maybe sell them to the highest bidder? 😛 I'm looking to replace my biochem grade if possible.

One of my friends just quit after his intern year. He's now teaching high school algebra and chemistry and makes his students call him doctor.
