Thanks. This is a good thread.
Some of best lines i've heard about love&women:
Nobody will ever win the battle of the sexes. There's too much fraternizing with the enemy.- Henry Kissinger
Love is the delusion that one woman is different from another.- H.L. Mencken
A man falls in love through his eyes, a woman through her ears.- Woodrow Wyatt
Men play the game; women know the score.- Roger Woddis

Plastic surgeon: This is deschutes, and she's going into pathology.

Don't ya just love all the reactions ya get from attendings when you say you are going into pathology?! At least that one was somewhat compimentary, I think!
Basically, I was telling attendings that I was undecided all the way until we had to submit ERAS apps... that way I could avoid the comments about it.
I always told them up front that I was going into path - I had several people look at me and say something like "smart move" or "good choice". Also, when I was personable and worked hard, they were really impressed. They expect most derm, rad, and path students to be total slackers on sub-i's after September. Also, they usually didn't waste time keeping me around to learn things I didn't need to know - on one rotation, I avoided call completely and still got honors!Freestyle said:

I experience the same thing. I had to do a few call nights on my sub-I's but it still wasn't that bad overall. 👍geddy said:

It's true - people interested in path are different from the standard med student rotating through. Like on my Gyn Onc rotation I had a good time and focused on lot on the path and the diseases, while most people going through are psyched about OR time and doing pap smears. So they kind of took an interest in me because of this.

OB/gyn attending: So this patient has fibroids.
Me: Wow. I wonder what it looks on H&E.
OB/Gyn attending: What's H&E?
Me: hematoxylin & eosin.
OB/Gyn attending: What? You planning on being a pathologist?
Me: Yes
OB/Gyn attending: Why?
Me: I like dead people.

"Larks launched into an account of how, that very morning, they had completed their daily eight kilometre run, milked the cows, baked the bread, and put the finishing touches to their latest string quartet, all before breakfast."
"Owls complained bitterly about the early morning habits of their spouses, their children, the milkman, and the people in the flat above. One owl described how he was wakened and brought a cup of tea at about 9.00 a.m. by a person or persons unknown, though in twenty years he had never gained sufficient consciousness at that early time to work out who it was (his wife confirmed this, and said it was she). Thirty minutes later the same person (still unknown) handed him a large piece of paper on which his name was clearly printed, to remind him who he was. On a good day he was ready to start work about six hours later, and after an early dinner at about 9.00 or 10.00 p.m. he sat down at his word processor, normally finishing at about 4.00 or 5.00 a.m. Although this respondent had won two Nobel prizes, the larks at the table obviously disapproved of such decadence."

I don't understand motivation books. What happened here? Suddenly everybody needs to be motivated? It's a fairly simple thing: either you want to do something of you don't; there's no mystery. besides, if you're motivated enough to go to the store to buy a motivation book, aren't you motivated enough to do that? So, you don't need the book. Put it back. Tell the clerk, "**** YOU, I'm goin' home. I'm already motivated."

True happiness comes from within, not externally. If you see something that appears to be the answer you are looking for, you should kill it before it has an effect on you, before it becomes a false fixation.deschutes said:
