My favorite part is how that picture caption can't even spell "immaculate" correctly 😀
 
Chemistry study break. I've decided to take up coffee for finals week. I figure I'm going to end up drinking the stuff eventually, so I might as well start when I need it.
As an added note I would like to say that I hate the taste of coffee. The only thing that makes it taste well is those coffeemate creamers. Those are yummy.
 
Furthermore on the coffee subject I have eaten raw coffee before and I find it to be more tolerable than drinking coffee. The MRE's give little single serving instant coffee and you just pour that into you mouth and wash it down with a swig of water. It works pretty well for giving you a quick buzz. If coffee didn't taste so bad, I would use it as dip (one of the more disgusting tabacco uses).

I preferred the coffee flavored ranger pudding. Cocoa powder + ii sugar packets + instant coffee packet + a little water.
 
Barely alive....sucks to study this much at once!!!
 
i will have the long ortho pager tomorrow and Friday.. maybe by then.. who knows..
 
48 or so to go.. i will reach my goal of 6k by 2007
 
Clinical nutrition blows...but it's online. I guess some sacrifices are necessary for me to fully enjoy life.
 
Somehow passed the exam on Monday. Do/did any of you ever get that feeling after an exam that you will either kill all your patients or give them antibiotic resistance if they happen to live? (Pharm did it to me).
 
I ran into the fact that I realized I knew what would help a patient, but it wasn't the drug they wanted me to use. Guess I'll have to study their ways now.

As much as it sucks, it would be much worse to extend your studies another year...:meanie:

Keep your head up...it does get better...

so today we admitted some dude for hand pus.. anyways the 2nd yr ortho dude writes for ertapenem, the dude has a PCN allergy.. the nurse asks if he wants this.. he tells me to write an order saying it is ok..

I refuse to do this.. then pharmacy pages us.. hey you know there is cross reactivity. my 2nd yr reiterates he wants me to plug in the ok in the computer. I tell him he can access the computer he can do it himself.. he doesnt.. i call pharmacy and ask for an alternative..

bottom line is that you dont want to kill/anaphylax your patients..

As long as we don't get some unforseen winter storm blast I'll *finally* take step 3 tomorrow. Just want the damn thing over with.

You know I was talking to a doc and he asked me how residency was and how the "transition" was. I told him it was going well and I havent killed anyone. I seriously was concerned that I would really screw something up real bad.

Best of luck on step 3!

Oh how I wish it would only take 2 hours...but I got a decent amount done for just working a few hours today. The rest of the day was enjoying the warm California sun.
 
Getting close to a new page now.
 
Oh, and for how I've felt the past couple weeks (besides sick of studying and finals): I feel exhausted beyond anything I've ever felt before. My back hurts, my neck is sore, and my attention span is sometimes quite long and sometimes so short I can't finish a sentence before having to start over. I also can't seem to ever wake up, even after a full night's sleep. For some reason, I've actually had dreams that I remember the past couple nights, which has left me more exhausted. I thought when you were this tired you weren't supposed to be able to dream like that. Oh ya, and when I dream, I tend to run and punch or whatever the dream has me doing, so therefore, I get a good workout while I am sleeping, but not so much sleep. Ok, I think I'm done ranting and raving now. Hope you all do well on your exams of whatever type they are!!! And for those in residency or on rotations, every day is an exam (I'm assuming), so hope your day goes well!
 
Semester...is....almost.....over
 
Back again from the road. I'm about over driving all over christendom.

Just a few more.
 
Everyone will note that I finished 5th in the league, since there is a 4 team playoff.
I guess I will have to do better next year. Maybe I'll actually get some players in the draft that aren't terrible. I think I have 2 people from the original draft on my team.
