Hell how about the which would you do first.. Or the peer 7 question of which of these options lowers K in hyperK the fastest.

Calcium
Insulin
HCO3
Albuterol
Kayexalate

I could narrow it down to 3 of them, then down to 2 and I guessed wrong. but my choice was the 2nd fastest. does it really matter since we hit em with all this stuff?

If I remember correctly, its HCO3, however it is very transient, much like insulin/glucose and albuteral (all about 30min). pr kayexalate works better than po, and works longer but takes longer to have effect.


And no, I would say it doesn't matter which works fastest, more important to know HOW LONG each acts, so you know when to redose.😎
 
We need a new thread by match day.

I apologize for my classmates for ruining anesthesia and radiology for you guys! We did go a little nuts last yr.. One of my classmates who had to repeat Gas was told if they missed another day they would fail them, they didnt show up the very next day and the day after. kind of like an F YOU!
 
another busy day. Gonna take my dog deuce to the vet, study, go to the gym, go to some independent movie opening tonite.. Full day!
 
Oh and stir the pot in the national healthcare discussion and of course myspace.

Yeah thanks. We have to sign into everything cuz of you guys. Thanks a lot! 😛
 
Here's to hoping that I can go snowboarding this weekend. Oh pretty please, big snow storm over night to land on the pretty little hills so I can get on my board.

We did have fun 4th yr. Dont worry things were better the yr before us as well. Every yr someone ruins it just a little bit more.
 
Did you guys hear the Al gore thing. It makes me laugh. So if you are rich enough then you can throw money at your electric bill. Clearly stupid. I really dont like people who dont practice what they preach. grrr

For the record the lefties arent the only ones who do this but this is todays news. I despise politicians...
 
Oh and buys "credits" what a trooper. Go get em Al.. Oh and can I get a ride in your private jet. Apparently a cross country trip in a Gulfstream dumps as much carbon as a hummer in 1 yr..

Ahh I got a 4Runner and I am proud as hell!
 
So I was told that I need to greatly improve my coordination/dexterity. Probably true, but how does a person go about that? Oh ya...surgery rotations should be interesting at this rate.
 
I could hear a surgeon saying to me..."if you promise to not get near a patient in surgery, I will pass you"
 
Maybe I should start playing video games...
 
I'd have to start at the level of the old school nintendo of course...
 
but it would probably help a little bit (and be another distractor from studying of course)
 
How often do you game ectopic?
 
Ive been off a bit. I go through phases. I havent played in a while. Ill get back to it after the inservice.
 
Oh ok...so you aren't a chronic addict at least
 
Even when I was younger and played, the longest I could sit and play was about an hour, so I doubt I am going to have to worry about it consuming a lot of time. I have a shorter attention span now than I did then.
 
The one day I decide to skip all the lectures, the recordings decided to not work. I guess I will have to hope that what I need to know is in the notes (and maybe a friend took some notes).
 
I think it's time for my second nap of the day. Wasn't long enough the first time around.
 
I haven't been gaming as much as I thought I would at this point in my life. I have a couple new games that I have barely touched but plan to eventually. It's part of the reason I haven't upgraded to a 360 or PS3. There's still so much to enjoy on my older systems.
 
Wow. I just worked a full day in clinic. Don't they know I'm a fourth year and my motivation is at an all-time low?

But then I did 2 step classes. And now I think I'm going to die. My poor quads.
 
School tried to screw up my scheduling for next month. I may just take it off as a vacation.

Hah. I'm a f-attending. 😀 I did remember it, but that is only because it is a worthless piece of information and they are the ones that stick! 🙂)


You probably don't want the 'real' awnser about teh inservice.... it doesn't really matter. I mean, if you want to have something to wig out about ,then stress, but really, I think theo nly one that matters is your third year and thats because its most predictive of how you will do onyour written boards.

Video games help more with hand-eye coordination than fine motor control.

Try playing the quarter game. Take a quarter and place it between your index and middle finger. Then using only that hand (no using the other hand as an assist, that's cheating!) slide the quarter over your middle finger so that it now sits in between your middle finger and ring finger. Then slide the quarter over your ring finger and grasp it in between your ring and pinky fingers. Then repeat the process moving the quarter towards your index finger. It's harder to explain than it is to just watch. But even harder to get good at it (I still suck at this game . . . good thing I don't want to be a neurosurgeon).
 
:laugh: I'm watching a George Lopez special on HBO. Pretty funny stuff. I love uncensored comedy!

I've seen that before...I might have tried it...probably very unsuccessfully if I did.
 
Dane Cook is on now. I don't find him funny.
 
I semi-recently discovered Carlos Mencia.. Hilarious!

I haven't had much time for comedy recently. Luckily, that's about to change with the Reno 911 movie that I'll be seeing this weekend.

When does that come out? I am predicting a hangover on Saturday, so I won't be studying. I could go watch a movie.
