What really sucks about this snow is that they can't start working on my building's roof. The ceiling in the hallway is about to fall down. Literally.

Plus, my dog freaked out this morning, wouldn't go to the bathroom outside, and pooped in the house. 😡 Oh well.

The good news - the snow will melt quickly.

 

[Gimlet]

so, are you the Andy whose wife tore her ACL on the ski trip?

Nope...all ACL's in my house are intact.

Buddies would be stretching it. He was asking me about R and S conformations. I think he adores all med students or something, because I've heard nothing but negative comments from all the people who knew him at UWM (I had a biochem class with him a year ago, but we never talked). You'd think that 6 months of studying for the MCAT would *almost* be enough, but I guess not.

That guy's backpack rivals Santa's bag of Christmas presents in size. I'll be surprised if he makes it into med school without throwing out his back.

Let's just say that I'll be surprised if he gets into med school.

 

[45408]

WHAT? 🙄

That MIGHT be one single question on the MCAT, if that. Talk about missing the forest for the trees.

 

[Agent Splat]

duplicate post.

thought for the day: I love soda.

but he's already INSIDE a med school 🙄

My favorite thing about this thread right now is that no one is questioning Prowler's assertion about dating someone for a car and a moustache. Nice work, children.

moustaches add a tickle.

moustaches add a tickle.

And a greater chance for spirothrix infection. Just ask Tom Selleck.

what exactly are you implying?

Don't knock it 'til you've tried it.

That is something I find fairly amusing. It would be like studying for the boards while in the OR.

You can question me about it.....when we get married.

We've all done it. I dated a girl with a car and a mustache my freshman year in high school. She was a cheerleader. woohoo.


So, Xandie, you're thinking about coloring your hair pink? I think you should make an appointment with Dr. McBride to work it out instead.

 

[Agent Splat]

what I find amusing is that he is always looking around at people talking like he's uber pissed, yet he continues to come here. perhaps we put off some kind of glow that warms him?

and then he does just as much talking as everyone else. I am pretty annoyed at the woman who routinely leaves her cell phone ringer all the way up and has no qualms about answering it. Furthermore, she leaves her cell phone unattended, so when someone calls, it rings until her voicemail picks up.

y'all are making me extremely happy that I study at Starbucks/home.

Creepy pre-med gets into the school on weekends too. I thought I'd have a reprieve last weekend, but nope, there he was. Last night he made a mess of crumbs/trash at the table he was sitting at.

This is disturbing. And sort of pathetic. At least he isn't using the nerd rooms.

my only guess is that he doesn't know about them, otherwise he probably would.

 

[Ashers]

my only guess is that he doesn't know about them, otherwise he probably would.

Then he'd go get a nerd room, put his backpack in it, then go up to the library and go online for hours. He wouldn't know about the "1 hour rule" because he didn't get the reminder email.

I still think if he actually thinks he's gonna get into med school in the next few years, he should start studying for boards while studying for the MCATS, just based on his study rate.

Last night he was also building molecules with an ochem set. That was weird. I felt like I should pull mine out of the closet and offer to sell it to him because mine is complete, and his isn't. I'd say he's a few plastic bonds short of a set.

 

[Gimlet]

I'd say he's a few plastic bonds short of a set.

For a while he would try to study in the cafeteria and then get pissed when people were being loud in there, so he'd go out and study in the hallway in front of Kerrigan. Nevermind the fact that you obviously can't have reasonably expect quiet in the cafeteria...that's what the friggin' library is for!

I never made the connection that he's not an MCW student yet he's allowed in the building on weekends. That's wrong.

 

[indo]

jeeze, i hope the poor guy doesn't read this.

I've never seen this guy but if you think he has a monopoly on dorkyness at MCW you are mistaken.

During the AMWA lunch talk on sexual dysfunction today, a guy in your class answered the question "what's the male equivalent of the G-spot?" by pumping both of his fists in the air and yelling "THE PROSTATE GLAND" with a triumphant look on his face.

That is how we roll. (by "we" I mean not me, I don't roll THAT way)

ah, see, without having even attended that talk, I can say with about 90% certainty, that it was probably Alex. brown, sorta curly hair? 5'9 or so, maybe wearing his glasses that look like they should be sunglasses (but without the tint)?

You can always just follow someone else in when they swipe their card.

 

[Agent Splat]

You can always just follow someone else in when they swipe their card.

that's why I always run through the door after swiping my card, give a swift backwards kick just in case I'm being followed, and slam the door shut behind me. and i fire my pepper spray over my shoulder at night if I'm feeling extra jittery.

 

[donnyfire]

There's a rule?

Future urologist. 👍
Who gave the talk?

By the way, women have a prostate. Or at least vestigial prostatic tissue. This is what is responsible for the G-spot.

Yay urology.

Edit: I just realized you may already know this from attending the talk. Sorry.

Do you say that out loud during the sex?

 

[Ashers]

Yep, a very poorly followed rule. Last year there was basically a war where someone would go through and kick people out if they left their stuff in over night. One girl in our class had a coffee maker in "her" room. It was bad.

I decided to give up on the nerd rooms this year, which is why i'm now a library studier.

Oh, good news... instead of spending 4 hours following around my CER preceptor and not seeing a patient for an H&P, I actually got to see a patient today! Whoo hoo! Now just 1 more session (which'll be 6 total) to do the 5 H&Ps. Driving to the VA today wasn't fun though.

 

[Agent Splat]

i think the most clinically relevant thing I've done in the last 2 weeks was walk through the drug aisle at the grocery store and notice one of the ExLax formulas had biscadoyl as the active ingredient.

You must lead as exciting a life as Dr. Myers. He said we should go look at the different antifungals. That might've been in the lecture you missed, so you can hear him talking about his exciting Friday nights at Walgreens.

 

[Xandie]

I'm bored and refusing to study/do the EMO questions (ask Don, I'm too lazy to type an explanation of EMO).

Cleaning is fun.

oh, i totally heard that in teh recording. i can totally see him doing that too. i hope he doesn't frequent the same walgreens and constantly look at the antifungals, or eventually the employees will be afraid to go near him.

I can take this one:

EMO = Energized Male Organs. Part of the sexual function examination we'll have to do third year.

 

[Ashers]

This is emo.

 

[Xandie]

I have to say, both of those things are substantially better than what EMO really stands for.

Bingo. Coincidentally, another Class of 2009 SDN'er (who rarely posts here) came up to me after the talk and asked if Alex was The Prowler. I assured him that you have curlier hair. Alex also proclaimed that he had "found his calling" after hearing about what they do in a sexual dysfunction clinic.

Who gave the talk?

I didn't catch her name, but she runs the Female Sexual Dysfunction clinic at MCW. Asian, female. She's a urologist with subspecialty training in sexual dysfunction.

why would someone have that impression? and you have to at least give their SDN SN for me to go off. Guitarguy? DrOwen?

And I was certain that it was him when you said he gave a fist pump.

Wow. I've never seen one of the south nerd rooms claimed overnight, and I've been there pretty early during exam weeks. I have seen every one in use (the person was actually in there) by 7:15 am during an exam week.


btw, here's emo:

It was definitely Alex. And sad to say, I chorused "Prostate" with him. I am even sadder to say that I neglected to add the fist pump to my triumphant look. I'm pretty sure Alex is aware of the irony of his grand gesture and that's just how he rolls.

It actually is a fascinating field and it tempts me, as well, except for the 5-year urology residency. I SO want to finish residency before I'm 50.

That's Dr. Kressin.

I'll be 38 when I finish. That's without a fellowship.

You're just a BABY, then. 😉

I know there's nothing magic about 50; it's just a number. But it's such a nice, round number. Apparently I want to celebrate that milestone birthday by writing my first student loan payment check.

 

[45408]

and that's just how he rolls.

which is exactly why I knew it was him.

 

[Xandie]

I'll be 32 when I finish. (That's with a fellowship, though). It's still a long time. 8 more years... I feel like I'm running for office.

 

[DoctorFunk]

Assuming I have the opportunity/desire to go into the field I'm most interested in now I'll be 35 when I finish up fellowship. Then I get to start paying off loans.

Anyone have any prozac?

 

[indo]

 

[45408]

is that your declaration of interest in colorectal surgery?

I'm hoping to be 30-31 when I'm done with residency.
