yeah, the only thing is that the first 3 weeks of this rotation are pretty much a different location every day so i dont really have a chance to settle in you know? some people are on ward medicine for the first 3 weeks so they see the same people and have the same daily routine everyday, i think thats a better way to start. as is i'm constantly feeling lost. :laugh:

the nice thing is that i didnt spend my first 2 years totally in the classroom, we had clinical activities spread out over that time so i actually know where a lot of these buildings are on the medical center. i'm not so lost as to where to go, i'm much more lost in how to chart patients and how to answer impossible pimp questions. :laugh: each location i'm in does things a little differently and has different forms, its crazy.

ok so tell me what to order. oyster crackers with hot sauce and what else?

The oyster crackers are brought no matter what. Kinda like the "bread bowl" of other restaurants. Then just dab a little of the hot sauce inside and munch.

You should order a Classic 3-Way:

1 Cheese Coney:

Scale according to hunger level.

you're gonna destroy medical school. you are the chuck norris of medical school:

- med schools dont accept Q, she accepts them
- Q doesnt pay tuition, they pay her
- Q never took the mcat, it took her on and lost... badly.

:laugh: Well, the second one is true, anyway. I only wish the rest of them were true. 😛

I was having a very good conversation with my dad tonight about med school. He was telling me about what med school was like 45 years ago when he went, and I was telling him about organ system modules and PBL and M1s getting clinical exposure and all the other kinds of things that med schools do now that they never used to do in his day. And he was telling me how he went to school with some pharmacists, and how hard it was during pharm b/c those guys knew just everything and he didn't. But he did so much better than they did during the clinical years because he had spent his summer between M2 and M3 externing and they hadn't. He didn't have to take the MCAT or do a residency. Pretty crazy, huh? He said that he wants to come visit me in med school and sit in on some classes. 🙂

beary--how do your parents like ohio? if they think it sucks you can tell me--i can take it

I think they like it a lot. I sure really liked it when I was there! They are both kind of down because they miss Nebraska a lot (they had to move because my dad got laid off). But that's not a reflection on Ohio at all.

i second the motion and hereby declare it law. policy enforcement will begin with beary's mentioning of the chili. goodbye beary! 🙁 😉

:laugh: I approve, except that I think an exception should be made for beary's suggestion of the policy. I hereby reinstate her posting privileges. All future mentions of the unmentionable shall be bannable offenses, however.

Our peds rotation was exactly the same way. I didn't like doing a different thing every day either. I still don't like changing things all the time - Michigan path residents change rotations every 2 weeks for some subspecialties and I am worried about that.

No, you shouldn't feel guilty. But you need to recognize that what you are feeling is nostalgia, and it's unfair. You haven't experienced your post-college life yet, so you can't even fathom what it will be like. You're comparing the known past to the unknown future. All I can tell you is that my 30th year was the best one yet. As much as I loved college, you couldn't pay me enough to relive my adolescent angst. 😎

yea you are right. i just go through phases....in one phase i can't wait to start working on my first cadaver, and in another phase i get all nostalgic about leaving college......but what keeps me going is that every medical student that i know pretty much says the same two things; hardest work ever, best experience ever... 🙂

That's cool. He is not going to be able to attend my white coat ceremony (horrible timing), but they'll get to see the school anyway. They've never been there.

Nope, they aren't. Some schools had the nerve to reject me. I'm a reapplicant. And I loved taking the MCAT so much that I decided to take it a second time, just for fun. (For anyone reading this who doesn't know my story, that last sentence is a joke. I retook the MCAT b/c my first score expired.)

FYI: I will bring all of my hosts for interviews some of KY's finest export, bourbon, so if you want to pull some strings, I wouldn't mind.

I'm not a big bourbon fan. (I don't like beer either so I'm just weird).

😍 wine 😍
