MCW Class of 2010, Part 3

This forum made possible through the generous support of SDN members, donors, and sponsors. Thank you.
No, Denise, you're right... I'll spare the public forums, but he's... one of the more personality-full students in my class. Then again, so am I.
 
Does anybody else like buying fun postage stamps, but then hate having to use them to pay bills? As in, "yes, I love having these super hero stamps with Superman and Plastic Man and the Green Arrow on them, but you, We Energies, are not good enough." Or worse, if you have some of those "Love" stamps lying around. That's horrible to use those. Freaking love stamps.

I use Disney and Muppet stamps to pay my water bill -- WE gets paid online. The muppets don't get used too often cuz I think they're the coolest. I use the ones I don't like first -- like Alice in Wonderland.

That stamp has the Mad Hatter, and I never liked him. I like saving the Little Mermaid stamps for people I actually like. So AUM gets the Mad Hatter. Since my parents bought me my stamps, I also have lots of Ronald Reagan and John Wayne stamps too. Those don't get used very often.

My grandpa met John Wayne once.

You can all be really impressed and envy me now.

ooooo... Ya know, that new Absolut vodka commercial has Steve McQueen as "the Absolute Man," but really, John Wayne should be.

Don't we envy you anyway for your wit?

Funk, post something I want to know what this is you're supposed to post.

Except his real first name was Marion...what a sissy! :meanie:

Hey, my grandpa's name was Marion... which is probably why he refused to let us call him Grandpa Marion, and we had to call him Grandpa Wagner (that and he was a strict half German who took after the German side of his family). His middle name made it even better Marion Lee.
 
You shall all soon find out exactly what I am supposed to be posting today. Stay tuned...
 
By the way, John Wayne was a complete pansy. Now Bruce Lee--there was a real man. Oh, and his English was more comprehensible too.
 
I cringed a bit in lab while my female lab partner pulled a Lorena Bobbitt on an unsuspecting man's penis.
 
I know some of you were concerned about how Rooshin Dalal was able to get your home addresses to send you letters about the Dog Lab. Everyone that got a letter is also a member of AMA. The AMA sells lists of it's members to organizations, PCRM (Physician's Committee for Responsible Medicine) in this case. Some AMA members didn't get the letter because they opted out of any mailings on their application form. Hope this clears up any confusion.

- Jeff, M1
 
I'm not a member of AMA!! They just stole my address and are stalking me. Unfair.

I auto-pay stuff like that so I don't have to think about the stamps. Just, "oh, I see I paid the power bill. Go, me."

Or else they opted their address out of MCW putting it in the student directory or on mailings for people to have, which is possible. I know other people who aren't members of AMA who got the letter.

I was thinking they may have gotten last year's directory, since I'm pretty sure I had my address as "not listed" in this year's, and because the M1s don't seem to have gotten the letter.
 
Finally, the post you have been waiting for...

My fellow students at MCW, throw off the chains that bind you! It is time to focus not on the differences amongst us--not our chosen specialties of interest, nor our percentile ranking in the class and chances at AOA nomination. We must look beyond our membership in various interest groups and our attendance record in lectures. Indeed, even our stance on the dog lab must be put aside in this Time of Greatness. For we stand on the threshold of change.

Those that oppress us would that we spend every weekend of the impending year locked in the library, awash in the ignorant minutiae of propaganda-laden binders distributed to us by the bourgeoisie. No more I say! No more shall we sit idly by while they test us like mindless animals regurgitating trivality after triviality! Throw off the chains and follow your great leader to the promised land! A land of clinical relevance, a land of absolutely no required attendance functions, a land of shared responsibility for education during the day, and shared adult beverages at night! Most importantly, a land with only 5 devo lectures per year and absolutely no Touchy-Feely Tuesdays!

As your king, I promised these things and more, and your ruler and his Knights of Vanquishing fought long and hard to secure these basic rights of man. Alas, the enemy hides behind the infrastructure of a society intent on marginalizing those who seek to serve humanity's ill. They bludgeon us with board exams, subjective grading, and endless hours of residency in which we earn less than the hourly minimum wage. Only together can we hope to transform the ripples that your valiant leader has made in the Sea of Time into great Tides of Change!

I ask you all to dust off your Netters and grab your Guyton. Holster your stethoscope (you can leave your diagnostic kits behind-those will be available in exam rooms when we need them) and clean and press your white coats, for they will be the uniform of the People's Army. Muster your courage, my dear friends, and follow me to freedom!!! For I am no longer your king. I stand before you now, a Man of the People!

This page of the thread is full of a lot of WTF.

Xandie is talking to denise whom I suspect is her Tyler Durden.

Or Marla:
My God. I haven't been ****ed like that since grade school.
 
yeah, but every time I think about changing it I quickly think about something else.
 
I'm gonna miss the noise in the library 🙁

All the random hammering and construction noise brought back fond childhood memories of Dad working in his workshop in the basement, and actually helped me relax and focus.

And this is why you're going to be right at home in a crazyass emergency department someday.

Me, I prefer the stifling quiet of the library stacks.

Do you want us all to come by from time to time and randomly drop heavy objects on your table while you study?
 
so I've been in a nerd room for the past 3 hours, and I think I studied for about 45 minutes. Max. 😳

And I have to go get my brother at the airport at 2:50am. At O'Hare. Methinks that biochem will be lacking my presence in 9 hours.
 
I wasn't even in the same state as biochem this morning. Instead, I was teaching kindergarten in Oregon.
 
🙄 😛 😉 😀 🙂 😉
 
Alright, you have forced my hand.

I will bring it back on track with some good ol'-fashioned bitching about school:

BLAAARGGGHH!!! I could not care less about this ethics test!

here here... i've pretended to study all day. Have I really studied? Absolutely not. But I did color code the readings at the beginning of the syllabus.

I could care less about the ethics test, but it would terminally imbalance the matter/anti-matter ratio in the universe and create a massive black hole that would suck us all in.

I would, however, respect the black hole's autonomy to choose to end the universe.

But what if the black hole is non-decisional? To whom would you turn?

The ethics consultants, of course! Or, if they were unavailable, the handy pocket book that I picked up in the bookstore today: "Practical Ethics for Students, Interns, Residents, and Supermassive Black Holes."

Oh what a handy, dandy book. It's not that clear about where to keep black holes in the hospital though. However, I think that's where all the latex gloves go -- never to be seen again, even though they are superior.

The important thing is to remember not to abandon your black hole. You should not leave them alone in a room at the end of the hall with the door closed and the lights turned off simply because they refuse your help in pulling matter into an unknown dimension via supergravitational pull. You can always provide comfort care to astronomical phenomena.

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.

Not in the mind of this vampire. You can't feel tiny veins through nitrile gloves, unless you rip the finger tip off. 🙄

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.
