You just get me so excited, Xandie.

*sigh* That's what they all say.

you guys need to go get a room.

 

[DoctorFunk]

No. Let them stay...

 

[akpete]

😕 Gonna need an explanation on that one.

I think Marc will be able to agree with me on this one.

Everytime I open my bathroom cabinet, it smells of cigarette smoke. Can't figure out why. I think only 1 or 2 people in my building smoke, and they live 2 floors below me, and they usually smoke outside, I think. And I only smell it in the bathroom cabinet.

The guesses were entertaining though.

Don't take this the wrong way, but it sounds like your apt. complex has more personality to it than the 100 year old dorms I stayed at in undergrad!

yeah, pretty much. except at my places it's in the shower, the sink, and under the kitchen sink in the cabinet. but the guy below me smokes like a chimney, pretty sure indoors, and when you go into the hallway it smells like an old bowling alley.

Then he hacks up a lung every night and sneezes powerful sneezes that sound like he's being stabbed in the chest. And he's hearing impaired, so he's always shouting, but I don't know why or at whom.

Well, our back hallway at my last house always smelled like an "herbal remedy" if you know what I mean.

Thanks. I'm feeling a lot better about choosing a duplex that doesn't have heat included and requires me to shovel. It's a no-smoking, no-animals, all-M1 building, and the roof doesn't leak at all.

Actually, overall I'm pretty happy w/ my apartment. But I can't afford it, so I have to move for sure this summer.

It's just that when something goes wrong, it really goes wrong. And none of my neighbors are noisy or smell or anything. Although I wish they'd be a bit more noisy sometimes. I feel like if I would have people over, my neighbors would flip out cuz they're all older (like 50-70) or have kids. Except for the m1 across the hall from me.

But overall, I still like my 78 degree apartment.

I like that smell. 😀

I picked up a lady once who was on the front porch (in NO apparent distress) with her bags packed, all ready to go.

Was the hospital near the airport, and she wanted a ride? 😉 Why'd she call?

I just got this email:

Student-Student Mentor Program
Our idea: Current 3rd years will volunteer to take 2nd years onto the wards with them for a day.
Our goal: Expose 2nd year students to the daily life of a 3rd year student.

Expectations:

- An M2 will e-mail you, please set up a convenient time and place to meet them.

- Meet with the M2 before you start your day (i.e. before you start your pre-rounds).

- As you work throughout the day, involve the M2 and explain what your role is and what your responsibilities are as part of the medical team.

- Teach the M2

o How to write a good H&P

o Physical exam skills

o Clinical information relevant to a patient you have

I will definetely be signing up for this. You all should too... and cross your fingers that you get me, because I'm awesome. 🙂

Can we do requests? Would I have to see my big sib?

 

[Xandie]

I doubt they take requests, since the only people available are those of us on internal medicine these two months. After consulting my schedule, your big sib is at the VA with me in March, and at St. Joe's in April. So there's no good way to request me and hide from him...

That's one less person to fight over me, I guess. 😀

 

[DoctorFunk]

That's one less person to fight over me, I guess. 😀

I guess that means you're all mine then. My big sib fell of the face of the earth a long time ago.

 

[Xandie]

Hey, have you guys done the prostaglandins in pharm yet?

My Daddy discovered alprostadil. 😛

 

[Xandie]

Who's your big sib? I'll beat them up.

And I can't remember where the yarmulke discussion was, but it can definetely be straight-up black. And also, I have watched all three LotR extended versions with bathroom breaks... it's excellent.

 

[DoctorFunk]

Needed to keep his patent ductus arteriosus open? 😉

 

[Xandie]

Yeah... not so much. The other use. I'm so proud of him!

 

[Gimlet]

Yeah... not so much. The other use. I'm so proud of him!

Does he work in academics or for a pharmaceuticals company?

 

[Xandie]

"Xandie Gold, brought to you by Pfizer since 1982."

I like to mock the anti-drug company lunch people a little bit, since my mother, father, step-father, my father's second wife, my father's third wife, and my father's ex-fiancee have all been employed by Pfizer (or its subcompanies) for my entire life. If I've got a bias, one free pizza isn't going to overcome 24 and a half years of support. 🙂

 

[Gimlet]

By the way, if anybody wants to see Harry Potter's naked penis...I can tell you where to find it. (on the internet, that is)

 

[DoctorFunk]

By the way, if anybody wants to see Harry Potter's naked penis...I can tell you where to find it. (on the internet, that is)

Yeah, not so much. I'd rather take a shot of alprostadil given by an M1 fresh out of their first biochem exam.

 

[DoctorFunk]

Yeah... not so much. The other use. I'm so proud of him!

Seems like that would be reeeeeeeeeeeeeeeally low on the treatment plan for such a problem. You know, the whole giving yourself a shot in the junk thing doesn't do it for most guys. I'd probably rather become ambisexual.

We just got the email for the M2 follows M3 thing. I'm saddened. Well, since I can't follow you around without seeing my big sib, I'm not gonna do it.

You a pothead, Focker?

Awww.... 🙁

Who's going to do it? (Come on kids, make me feel like 3rd year isn't just about being bottom man on the totem pole... I know stuff, darnit!)

And, Jesse, alprostadil was discovered in the early 80s, before there were a lot of options. A little pain and sex is better than no sex, me thinks.

 

[Gimlet]

I wanna do it! Looking at my schedule right now to figure out when I can.

So Funk, before PDE-5 inhibitors were available, would you have reached for the Swedish Penis Enhancer or the alprostadil first? Personally, I think a discreet injection is preferable to a hardware store's worth of equipment.

Keeping up with these MCW threads has become almost a part-time job.

Post here, see if you can get it moved to allo-class, and then you can make it your full time job, like I'm apparently doing.

Have you guys tried PMing a mod or admin to get this done? There's no guarantee your posts will be read, but a PM would probably get it done. I would try Kimberli Cox.

That hypothetical question makes a lot of assumptions. First, it assumes that a true ninja like me could actually experience a medical problem. Second, it assumes that I couldn't use dark ninja magic to cure said medical problem. Finally, it assumes that I would not have simply invented viagra, levitra, and/or cialis by myself within a week of my hypothetical impotence.

So what would Funk do if he was struck down with this horrible disease with no PDE inhibitors in sight?

One word: seppuku.

 

[Xandie]

I'm not sure ritiual self-disembowelment is the answer.

 

[indo]

Swedish Penis Enhancers work.

I don't know, maybe Mrs. Funk thinks that's hot. I don't think it would do much for me, though.

I would totally do this. Unfortunately, I finished medicine months ago. I doubt anyone really wants to spend a day on the urology service with me next month.

Come to think of it, I didn't even get that email. So maybe nobody wants to spend a day with me anyway.🙁

Urology? hmmm... The email we got looks like it was only for people on medicine.

Maybe you should complain and have them open it to all M3s.

Yeah, it's probably only for medicine. That's where you guys would probably benefit the most, anyway (at least about the day-to-day things about life on the wards). Unless you want to learn how to do a good rectal exam. Then come to urology.

I think I know 1 girl who got urology as an elective. The way you put it, it just sounds so exciting.

I'll be spending my time next year with my hands retracting things in people's knees/hips (as long as I get on the service I want).

ashers, i think you're going to have everybody here stressing out more about YOUR electives, rotations, sub-Is, residency applications, match, and future job opportunities more than our own!

 

[Xandie]

It's possible the other clerkship directors didn't go for it... just a guess though. It would make the most sense on med and peds... wonder if the peds kids got it too.

Anyone else up for Reno 911!: Miami (the movie) after the pharm exam? if not i'm going to see it alone or something.

It will have to be a game time decision for me. Depends on my state of hygeine on Monday morning, and other things I might need to get done around the house. I would like to go, though. Are you planning on a matinee or an evening showing?
