I totally agree. I don't know how you folks can handle "suicide attempts" that are like 3 tylenol.

True story:
"Medic one- respond to *bad side of town* for OD"
at the scene, i had to ask which one is the patient...which is a BAD sign! A lady raises her hand and i ask if she took anything. she said yeah. I had to ask what and she said tylenol. I asked her how many she took and she said 2!!!! before i could stop myself, i asked her if she ever read the side of the bottle. i really don't know what i was thinking...we were in BFE and likely she couldn't read, but anyway, she said she was trying to kill herself. i had to walk away and let my partner handle that one. no code 3 return on that one...left her @$$ there and had her sign the waiver form. gotta love rural EMS.
i feel your pain,

I am single and am glad for it during this whole matching process - I guess so I can be selfish and only worry about myself.
I told my wife if I dont match where she is, then ill just spend my paycheck at strip clubs 😀... Nah.. she would move.. As long as your SO is flexible I dont see it being that big of a deal.. Maybe I dont get it..
 
Did you offer up advice on how to properly do it? :meanie:
 
leviathan said:
Don't forget SV = EDV-ESV so therefore CO = (EDV-ESV)*HR :meanie: .

And BP = CO * TPR.

Oooh formulas. 😎

Don't forget Starling's law! ESV .O. EDV

+pad+

Thanks for the review. I'll be done with this in the AM.

Is that how they do it at your home institution beary? Must be slow (im refraining from saying your home institution)..

BTW did you think it was weird that they made eveyrone cover up their school logos and names for the Step 2 cs.. Weird...
 
By the way, thank you to you all who listened to me complain about the troubles in my life. It is much appreciated and I am forever in your debt. Things are much better now.....

I thought that was really unusual. She wasn't there very long (maybe 10-12 hours). I think they thought she may have taken something else as well, and she was pretty out of it (guess 3 Ambien does that :meanie: ) Usually the MICU/SICU/PICU/NICU are all super busy with very sick pts since we are a tertiary referral center for a pretty big region.

Yeah, it was super weird at the Step 2 CS. If those people are so biased as to allow somebody's name/school to influence them, maybe that indicates a problem. 😡

Hmm...any more cardiovascular physiology review? What's the AP look like in cardiac muscle? How does preload affect MAP? How does sympathetic and parasympathetic stimulation affect the membrane potential of cardiac myocytes? ....I'm bored.

I'm not sure how good that bacon was that I cooked for dinner. 😳

Dinner...damn, I knew I forgot something!
 
socute it happens when you study during m1/m2 and def when you are on call! 😀

Hmm Bacon...
 
Reminds me!!!

Homer: Are you saying you're never going to eat any animal again? What about bacon?
Lisa: No.
Homer: Ham?
Lisa: No.
Homer: Pork chops?
Lisa: Dad, those all come from the same animal.
Homer: Heh heh heh. Ooh, yeah, right, Lisa. A wonderful, magical animal.
 
Lisa: Do we have any food that wasn't brutally slaughtered?
Homer: Well, I think the veal died of loneliness.
 
Homer: Weaseling out of things is important to learn. It's what separates us from the animals ... except the weasel.
 
Ah, the wonders of living in the dorms....******* people (the kind who give minorities a bad rep) standing in the hall repeatedly making the point of "Yo dawg, that's ****ed up!! ****ed up dawg!! ****ed up!!" I seriously mean it, that was the entire conversation for the five minutes after I got woken up by it. I stuck my head out the door and stated, "Look, I'm trying to sleep. The only thing that's ****ed up is my attitude if I don't get sleep. If my attitude gets ****ed up, then people might just get ****ed up. OK?" The guys quieted down.

Hehhe, during my lunch yesterday I listened to this girl have a conversation at the table behind me. She said "like, seriously" a total of 9 times within the 10 minutes it took me to finish my meal. I was bursting out laughing by the end every time she said it, and people were looking at me like I was a lunatic. :laugh:

I think given my heavy post padding on this thread that I should be allowed to request the honor of posting the thread that puts us past the 1000 post hurdle.
 
But would that be the 1000th post? 😕
