this is sort of an open reply all, not directed at anyone
ive noticed a real trend toward nasty bickering and people just being plain rude since the first wave of exam scores came out wednesday for countless reasons. I just hope people can get over a few numbers and not forget why we are all here and how you should carry yourselves as physicians. Nobody here wants to appease anyone's superiority complex.
This is one test, and youre damn right to argue its importance.. but i strongly feel that if people's anonymous boasting, celebration, whatever you want to call it, on a public forum, and/or your own feelings of inadequacy are going to turn you into an ahole, you should leave. There are still people on here who are legitimately seeking advice and still have to take the test. Don't forget to be supportive and help them, and don't come back to this forum if all youre going to do is whine and get into flaming wars. If thats your reason for being here, I strongly suggest you instead look ahead, not behind and focus on third year coming up. Go talk in the rotations forums, but leave this forum be. If you feel you can be helpful to those still studying, then by all means, post away and help your future colleagues out. I'm sure you were all helped by someone here who had already taken the test. I know I was.
I may be overstepping my bounds and I apologize if I am, but reading this forum has been horrible the past 48 hrs compared to how helpful its been for me all summer long. I hope we can get back to normal soon and put all this bickering to an end.
Thanks
