This is a place to chill and talk about anything besides the MCAT. 😎

i really am going to miss the kids on peds now when i go to OB in about 10 days. beary has gotten me to get my guard up for the damn placentas. :laugh:

You should have your guard up for the damn placentas. And when you're all standing there with the damn thing, discussing, "Should we send this to path?" The correct answer is NO.

We had FOURTEEN placentas yesterday. Seriously.

You all set to go into path now with your badass Step 1 score? 😉

i actually think i like working with patients beary, i dont know if thats just peds missing with my head or if thats really what i want but i like the clinical aspect of medicine a lot. pathology is still on my list though, no worries. 😛

Well, I guess we need good clinicians. 🙂

Come to chat.

i didnt destroy the USMLE but i did decent. everything i'm interested in medicine is still open to me so i'm happy. 😀
Wooohoooo! Congrats Arsenic! :hardy:
 
beary said:
I am giving this big talk tomorrow that is supposed to be an hour. It is too short. Oh well.

Hey, Fe, I talked about Fe in the talk and thought of you. 😉
like a grand rounds type of thing? dont worry beary, dont you remember watching those as an M3 and 4? they finish early ALL the time. just dont finish in 10 minutes. :laugh:

ha. I knew it. I'm going to go with 242. Everyone else, what is your poll. Over or under. Let's take the bets. 🙂
What is an avg score (not saying you did avg of course 😉 )? I am not familiar with the scoring for the USMLE.
 
mshheaddoc said:
mean the past few years have been about 215. 180 is required for passing. Highest is 260? or something like that.
In that case, I am going to guess...um...238. Yeah, 238 sounds good.

Yep, grand rounds. I just want to get it over with.

I like the red cross 😛


So spill it boy. We deserve to know. Everyone else shared their MCAT scores and I'll share mine 😀 Even though I already know my guess was close 😛 I knew you'd get at least a 230
i cant just blurt my score out in public mush, people at my school know i'm arsenic.
 
Arsenic said:
mushy's red cross if she keeps it up. :laugh:

what do you think of topics in healthcare? :meanie:


Aw but you can tell us in PM or you can tell us whether it is good or bad for the competitive specialties that you aspire to go into.

Yeah, it is not the same as revealing the score for your MCAT. I wouldn't announce mine publicly either.

Hey Guju!!! I have missed you girly!
 
Arsenic said:
oh.......... is this that thing you were talking about a while ago about the fungus or something?

No unfortunately. We had little presentations to the infectious disease folks every day. This is a big presentation to the path department. About pseudomonas.

COME TO CHAT. NOW.
 
Me: Read a paragraph in EK, post a paragraph on SDN.

This is working out great. It may take me all night to get through a chapter, but I am having fun doing it! :laugh:

I'm confused. I don't remember talking about new baby smell.


I read a post some few pages back saying something like getting to cuddle with a new baby or something like that. Nevermind.
 
oxeye said:
Yup. 🙂 Had it taken yesterday. Here's the full version -

I'm going to make magnets from the picture to give to people at her birthday party. We'll see how those turn out, though! :laugh:


This looks like a postcard picture!!!!!!!!!

Oh yeah, but I didn't smell him. :laugh: In fact I didn't even get to hold him because he was sleeping and his mom doesn't want him to get used to being held too often. That kind of makes me sad because I think babies need to be held, but oh well. 🙁

Ohhhh that makes more sense now. So you met up with someone that had a new baby. I got it now. I was just confused cuz you mentioned new baby and you in the same sentence. :laugh: :laugh: 😉

Awww! I love babies! They are so adorable...and then they become bratty kids, which are not so cute. Sorry, I have the worst kids that live in my apartment complex! grrrr!
