I should be studying CTB, but I had to look. SOMEONE had quite a bit to say about Question 8.

Hmmm, this time I think he's wrong.

"I also feel answer B, "More air is distributed to the bottom of the lung if inspiration commeces from RV." is correct."

Negative there. At RV, the compliance curve for the bottom of the lung is FLAT, but the compliance at the apex is quite steep. Much more air will go to the top, and Forster even explains that in his notes. But, since I'm not interested in undercutting my classmates like somebody did first block, I won't mention that on the forum. I doubt he'll get the credit though.

nah...it goes to the top at RV. This was one of my stupid mistakes. ugg! I either clicked the wrong answer or misread the answers.
 
Although, I might just give him the point because I don't want to read all of that.

Did they adjust the neuro scores at all?




Did anyone else giggle when anal skin appeared on the CTB exam?

Yes, 13 on both blue and white: all answers accepted.

Hmm...no, that wasn't the other funny thing I remembered. There was the dog question, but I can't remember what else made me laugh.

Ahh, good. Thanks!
 
Does anyone know the website where people post links to really good bargains and clearance sales on the interent? I once saw amazon was having a poster sale where .99 was the price.

edit: I'm pretty sure I was thinking of www.fatwallet.com
Know of any others?

I don't think neuro changed at all, and no, I didn't giggle, because I didn't recognize it. 🙁

edit: woo hoo! I got one back after seeing samenewme's post. that must have been the alcohol/ataxia one.
 
Prowler,
It sounds like the administration here is a little trigger happy with the chastising emails.

Wait, a chastising administrative e-mail that I didn't get?! I feel left out now.
 
the ooze...haha nasty.

Is the drip a symptom or a nickname for an actual disease? Like I was saying at the bar the other night, if one med student gets an STD there will be an epidemic within the med school population.

she got an email from the head pbl person lecturing all those who didn't show up (everyone) to pbl. But then someone sent a 3 page reply. I don't remember all the details but it seems dumb. The group leader shows up and sees that nobody is there then concludes that all 8 or 10 people decided to stay home on the same day? Sounds like someone owns a "jump to conclusions mat".

Yeah, we learned about it in our Sexuality course. I think it's a nickname for gonorrhea (could be wrong though). We also learned that it is inappropriate when taking a sexual history to ask the patient "Have you ever had THE DRIP?"

My mentor informed me that gnorrhea has become antibiotic resistant. I think it might have been in the newspaper last week too. Antibiotic resistance is scary, even moreso when it involves your reproductive set-up.

Yeah, I read about that a couple weeks ago as well. Somewhere Charles Darwin is smiling.

So what happened? Did the preceptor go to the wrong room?

I'm not sure what the details are because I can only pay attention to my roommate for a short amount of time before my mind blocks her out but for some reason the students all thought that the preceptor wasn't going to be there on wednesday so they just moved the meeting to monday in order for them to have wednesday completely off. I suppose the preceptor forgot that he or she cancelled.

Then there was the email we got because some people showed up late or unprepared for the criminal background check.

that's about right. She told us she wasn't coming, and then decided to come anyways? I think she messed her dates up, because now she won't be around next week. 😛
 
I heard a rumor that the average on the last phys test was an 80%. Yikes.
 
TheProwler said:
you thought it would be higher or lower? our average has been running around the 86 range, I think.
Click to expand...

I figured it would be higher. It was a long and hard test but usually the average isn't really affected.
 
Hey, what's up with M1s essentially getting the 3rd week in May off to study? Other than a MIM exam and a couple hx OSCEs, there's nothing that week. What the hell. I don't recall having that last year. The administration must be getting soft. You all better rock those finals with all that spare time.

you had one more block than we did, so all of our exams had more material on them than yours, but it means we get almost an entire week for each block of exams (instead of Friday, Monday and Tuesday), and a whole week off before finals.

Damn that Amit...always negotiating with the Curriculum, Evaluation and Revue Committee for thing to be better for the class of 2010. Too bad the class before us didn't have someone like him working on OUR behalf.
 
TheProwler said:
and everyone before that
Click to expand...

No, just us. The folks before us were too busy lollygagging around and getting test averages ten points lower than ours.

Meanwhile we were busting our butts 140 hours/week in the library, uphill both ways.
 
I heard Krippy's going to be course director for neuro next year. But she only has a year to turn the class around.

Oh yeah, and Lorek's gonna be path's course director. Like totally.

That's great news for the 2011ers (and somewhat for the 2010ers). Krippy is ultra-organized, which is exactly what that course needs. It will be even better if she compels the lecturers to submit lecture notes that are patterned after her own.

As far as Lorek goes, I think it will probably be better for the course overall than the disaster that was path this year. She may be a little valley girl-esque during her lectures, but I thought her notes were good and she had a good idea of what was important to learn and what was just crazy Robbins-detail. I'll take a youngish MD course director for path any day of the week. Now she just needs to lay the smackdown on the lecturers and force them to submit well-written questions that are actually covered in class or the notes.
 
Ashers said:
A little? Her general tone is more valley girl than I am when I'm on morphine or 3 drinks.
Click to expand...

I am a poor judge in this case for the following reasons:
1). I only attended 1 Lorek lecture.
2). I have never seen you drink.

Only one of those problems can still be remedied.
