number one most loathed part of an ms1?

Also, people who don't change out of their anatomy scrubs after lab/before coming to class. Seriously, folks. You're covered in cadaver goo and you smell.

Please tell me that doesn't actually happen. You mean your school doesn't have some policy against that? That's terrible.

Also, although it sounds very rudimentary, some of the most basic things about anatomy (i.e. which side the liver and spleen are on, things of that nature) I remember mostly because I can picture standing with our cadaver in front of us and picture it quite vividly. Obviously this is a basic anatomic fact that everyone should know, but I never even have to think twice because I can always picture it on my cadaver.

I love working with my hands but anatomy lab was misery for me. I liked prosection because I could actually go through and see things. The added disadvantage of being 7+ inches taller than nearly everyone in my group and having to hunch over for 3 hours didn't help.

for me, it's twofold. one, it's these god forsaken extra classes/pointless meetings in the afternoons that have nothing to do with the sciences, EVERY week. two, this is all compounded by idiotic questions from some of my fellow ms1 classmates (no offense to their intellectual prowess, a lot of offense to their common sense)

seriously, common sense tells me i shouldn't sleep with my patient or my patient's mom. you don't need to spend an hour telling me this and then make me spend another hour talking about hypothetical situations involving it.

to other ms1's: when it's 30 minutes past the allotted time and you've already been in this discussion panel for 2 hours, don't ask the speaker dumb questions like "how did it make you feel when disease X caused Y to you?" well **** genius, if you were listening to the speech, you'd realize the person spent 20mins talking about their feelings. even if you didn't listen to the lecture, common sense tells you it sucks having the disease X, how about you come up with a better question or keep it shut..

end rant, am i being out of line here?

Those topics of bioethics, biostats, and other non basic science/clinical stuff are actually pretty important. They show up on your step 1s and shelves and pretty much kick the **** out of you because they are worded so craftily. So yeah blow off the lectures but still study that crap cuz it comes back.

Anatomy lab was useless. It was too time consuming to learn off the cadaver because structures, well, aren't labeled on a cadaver. Because of this, covering up the names of structures in netters, and saying the names until I could do it w/o looking seemed to be the best method. I was able to build a 3d image by doing this so when I went to lab I was able to name every structure. Therefore lab was useless. The only thing it was helpful for was w/ the heart and skull because it was difficult to construct a 3d image of these. Overall, anatomy lab probably wasted 100 hours that could have been spent studying something else.
