can we PLEASE just elect a new president and move on? I am so sick of hearing about this junk.
 
crap. I transferred too much from my checking into my savings, so my account will be overdrawn, unless my brother can make it to the bank in the morning with $200 in cash. Forgot about our utility bill being automatically withdrawn....

been there. Banks love to throw unnecessarily high fees at you for that crap.
 
and of course, PROFESSIONALS always risk their lives in the snow to come to school for lecture! no need to cancel classes! we're professional!
 
Furthermore, I see on the news that the "Confidence Driving School" is closed for today. I think that is HIGHLY UNPROFESSIONAL. People have an obligation to learn how to drive in potentially unsafe conditions. We NEED to keep those 15 year olds on the roads today.
 
Let me clarify by saying that if I was on a clinical rotation right now rather than having a week of lectures, I would go to my clinical site without much complaint. But this is ridiculous. If they can move an exam for an entire class, surely they can move a tiny little 2-lecture day plus a tiny ACLS exam for like 20 people.

You have responsibilities to your mock coding patients.

I'll show up this afternoon for those mock a-holes, but I'm not coming in this morning for lecture.

sounds like the drive will be just a crappy then as it is now, but at least there will be fewer cars on the road. Take good notes for me.
 
Okay.

So apparently they DID cancel our CPR stuff, but didn't bother to inform any of us.

Now THAT is unprofessional.
 
Dr. Lund sent all the ob-gyn peeps home at 11:30 this am. I was in shock. I'm still in shock.

BTW, the roads do actually suck. But doable for sure. But I also figure it's not a real snow storm unless there's 30+ inches. I'm from the country. 😀





And bank fees suck. I didn't realize an organization hadn't cashed a check I wrote a month prior, so I thought I had more money than I did. Got a $30some fee for a $3 purchase at Dairy Queen. Crap.

They informed ALL M3s. I just got the email. UGH! Cancel GS2!!!
Click to expand...

Yeah. I've learned to check my email before leaving for school in the snow cuz they tend to send those last-minute notices.
 
I'm sorry guys, but you get no sympathy from me. I made it in today.

From Kenosha.

The fact is that we've picked a profession that will require us to occasionally do things that suck, such as rounding at 5am on a surgical service, or getting in on a snow day when everyone else gets to stay home.

Suck it up, you're going to be doctors.

As I said before, I would have no problem coming into work for a clinical rotation to take care of people. I've driven ambulances in ****sky weather before and I don't mind. I've tromped through 8 inches of snow in a ditch and gotten copper wiring gouged into my boot. But for something like 2 CPR lectures and an ACLS exam they can bite me. I got halfway to school from West Bend before I found out they pretty much did cancel it but didn't bother to notify us.

I don't need another lecture on the lifestyle of the profession I'm going into, thank you very much.

that is why you make the big bucks.

But, yeah, if you are going to be a doctor in a snowy part of the country you have to have a vehicle that will let you get to work.
 
and they just canceled our Clinical H&P sessions. good. I didn't wanna go to the VA anyways.

And once upon a time society compensated physicians adequately for these hardships. Now we have to practice cookbook medicine and order tons of unnecessary tests in order to avoid gettting the thanks of a malpractice suit.

Hey now. Cookbook medicine is what keeps ER doctors looking like doctors.
 
I don't care if you go to lecture or not. That's up to you. And I don't care how well or where you've driven your ambulance. Been there done that. Also, if your idea of a lecture is four lines, then you've got a whole other set of issues.

The fact is that there is a good deal of whining going around here, and there has been for quite a while.

Don't forget that program directors read these threads.
 
They let us go home early b/c of the snow, and we're rounding a little bit later than normal. Yay! That gives me more time to leave to get to school.

I'm always amazed when the mail is here.

I wish I could have left early. Still, I only got stuck three times on the way home.

Wow.

Okay, so I stated above I was shocked that we got sent home. Another student and I even discussed how unlike the real world it was.

Interestingly, the majority of the Ob-gyn clinics associated with St Mary's were closed today.

At least we don't have to ride out in the middle of the night on horses to our country patients ten miles away and then get paid in chickens.

This is the same line of thinking that leads me to say I got a great upper-body workout when I got home today and couldn't get my car in the driveway. I will be SO BUFF by March!
 
We're getting a cat. Probably a greyish tiger-stripish one we saw at the humane society. We will begin taking name suggestions immediately.

Female cat.
 
I have a gray tiger striped kitty. She's ******ed. Love her.

My only name suggestion is not to use human names. I always think that's weird.

I think the opposite is weird. So my dog has a people name.

If you want, I could get my hands on the baby names book at St Mary's. But I'm not gonna be back there until Monday. All the names you could ever dream of.

Hey, there's someone in Clinical Rotations who's using your avatar. It confused me because I use avatars a lot for ID, and this person (throckmorton) started talking about how they're going into medicine. I was way confused until I saw it wasn't really you.

Whenever I get a cat, I plan on naming her Imogen, from Shakespeare's Cymbeline because she slept a lot in that play.
 
i love kitties but i'm to allergic!!! name your kitten daisy or daffodil or like after a flower cuz its cute!!!! :luck:🙂
 
I tend to adopt crazy animals- so I like to name/nickname them something short. My dog's name is Sam and the cat is Sebastian, but we call him Basti or Skitten (a contraction of Small+Kitten). His nicknames are easier to yell when he is doing his favorite things, like knocking over my plants or kicking cups of water onto our bed while we are sleeping. He's lucky he is so cute and a good snuggler when he is not being a furry little terrorist.

I thought the same thing at first, but she posted all her waitlist updates for a while (in pre-allo I think) before she got in, so I was following along and at some point figured out she was a girl.
