That path test proved I'm not. Becker = not as bad as Basir (for me, I know most people now hate amyloid). However, if I EVER express the desire to become a nephrologist, someone, please shoot me (same for neuro and psych).

As for mini eggs. I'll bring them to school on Monday, and I'll have them in my locker, so just let me know when you want to come get them. =) And my little sib is pretty cool.

What about musubi?
 
Ashers said:
Can't leave that in my locker without it going off. 😉 I can make it for you, though, IF we have the M2/M3 transition thingy while I'm here in WI. =)

Will work for musubi.

When will you be out of state?

Haven't bought any tickets yet, but may go home or to London after boards, so that means I'd probably leave around 9 June and come back maybe 23 or 24 June. First I have to decide whether or not to go home or England. Or maybe I'll just never decide, and then I'll be stuck here.

Edit: I guess I could also make some earlier, if you knew when you're going to be on campus and we set up a rendevous point. I have been wanting it for a while.

If you leave for home or England I will be sad. In fact, I will be SO unhappy with you, I will refuse to go biking with you while you are gone.

I think that for that sort of stuff, the closer it is to when you guys start third year, the better. We could even do it over your transition to clerkship course (which is where they claim to teach you how to survive on the wards, but don't).

I'll be nearest campus next Tuesday, when I get/have to go to the Tosa center for lecture.

Well, if I'm at home, I might feel so sad that I'll go on a bike ride by myself to make myself less sad.

Oooooh... more useless time wasting? Sweet, I'm excited. I'd better have gotten sudoku and bejeweled by then.


Musubi might be a nice change from PB&J for lunch...

That reminds me...does anybody know when we get our PDAs?

Lordy I hope it's not before finals. If that's the case there's a good chance I'll drop down a full grade in both courses!
 
I am NOT looking forward to Mattson's questions after all the encouragement you guys have provided. 🙁 other than old exam questions and Physiology Secrets, any other pointers?
 
My advice? Gird your loins.

Yep, I said it.

When I was using his questions as practice, the toughest thing I found about them was units. For the life of me I couldn't figure out what I was doing wrong until I put in units and did the conversions for those. I read Guyton I think 3 times for the renal section (usually just read it twice), I found it helpful, especially when trying to figure out how to work though Mattson's questions. I can't specifically say anything for taking one of his tests for real, but that's just after I went through the 2005 test for practice and then made sure that I understood what I did wrong.
 
After a good three hours with nothing to do here, I am going home.

Proof positive that as a JMS you have to master the fine art of annoying your attending just enough to get them to send you home, without being overly annoying that they remember it for your grade.

Will that be a part of the actually useful Don and Xandie teaching session before we start on the wards?
 
Gimlet: I fear that Stephen Hawking will be unable to serve as tech chair of SEMA due to his current involvement with training for a zero-g flight.
 
So in my procrastination attempts, I was looking up my insurance stuff, like how much was covered, etc. And I saw this:

Service Date
03/07/2007
Provider Name
LOREK, JENNIFER D MD

Like, um, super cool, et cetera, whatever, blah blah blah.

We don't care about what the M1s do and don't understand here. This is OUR thread.

Does this mean she looked at your specimens???

Which is why I posted it in the 2009 thread. 😀

She must've looked at what they thought was endometriosis, but was ID'd as "polarizable material" and never specified what it was. Good job path department.

Wow, you can see who voted for whom? That's kind of shady. I always assumed those polls were anonymous.

Did you get any other good write-ins?

hopefully you ungird them a little when you're using the restroom too

My girdment has a zipper in the front so I don't have to ungird to go #1.
 
What is the dilly with these NBME exams? I need something else to worry about so will they have any Step I score predictive power?

i'm just gonna answer "C" for everything and see how fast I can fill it in for every answer and how many I get right.
 
Dr Mattson describes renal concentration of urine very seductively. Does he look like David Hasselhoff, by chance?

Well, after the 1st year of medical school it seems that every patient I will ever see will have Progeria or Diabetes/ metabolic syndrome. So, I will choose the answer that "is least likely to conflict with either of the two correct answers".
 
In Wisconsin, many of them will have DM/metabolic syndrome. Unfortunately.

According to you signature I shouldn't use condoms if I want to experience life, which is sexually transmitted.

haha, I saw him for the first time in the renal phys lab (which I'm still in). I had to ask someone else who he was, although his Brendan Fraser voice kinda gave him away as well.

Ask him if he'd be willing to add some information to his lectures. I feel like they could hold about 50% more minutia.
 
I am very proud of Marc... he has discovered the wonderful intricacies of the text paging system. And I have no opinion on bicycle shorts.

For all of the soon to be M3's out there...

Spring for the text pager. It makes life easier.
 
I'm sad. My usual library cohorts are nowhere to be found and here I am facing the boring job of reading a co-op on anti-virals before heading home.

Lonely boredom is the most boring boredom of all.

Whoa! Francis Collins (head of the human genome project and author of Language of God, which I read about two months ago) will be speaking in the HRC on Friday at 8am. I think I will actually manage to get myself up for that!

THAT'S why we have class in Kerrigan. I couldn't figure out what'd be going on in there to make us move back to the nice desks.
 
Yeah, well, I walked uphill both ways...


But really, we didn't have a list for anatomy. Just a blank sheet of paper and our brains. I might've traded a Friday for that... okay, probably not. I love Fridays. I even switched my "independent study" time from Friday to Tuesday this week. Woohoo.
 
CTB lectures are completed and my ass is sore. Who wants sushi?

My avatar makes me laugh. I think it is because the cat takes himself so seriously.
