3rd time is a charm! 🙂 Welcome to the best thread on SDN: The Random Non-MCAT thread--PART 3!

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



And remember......

Hey A-man, what does CC-3 stand for? Clinical clerk?

 

[oxeye]

Why??!! The ENT folks were the ones who took it out. We just get to grow it in the lab and figure out what it is. 😀 Actually on Friday we weren't sure exactly which species it was yet, which is making it difficult for me to prepare for my presentation. 🙄

Wait, you mean pathologists don't just do autopsies?? 😱





























kidding. 😛

clinical clerkship 3. its the designation we have to sign all our charts with and just means a third year med student. you didnt use that in iowa? i thought it was standard across the country, guess not.

 

[beary]

Haha, that's what I used to think too. I think everybody who doesn't talk to me about my work much thinks I'm basically either a mortician or a CSI.

 

[beary]

<putting path back on the list and removing ENT>

There you go. 😉

I think it is fun to grow bugs in the lab. Though I'm somewhat of a germophobe which bothers me a bit.

 

[Arsenic]

It's finally crowded in here again

are you telling me to get out?!?!? 😱 😡 😉

We signed our charts with M3.

iowa is just weird! 😛

Just don't wipe your own nose after playing with the big chunk of fungus. 😉

 

[DrBowtie]

Naww...The girl to guy ratio in here is fine now. Now if T comes back...

 

[Arsenic]

Yeah, that's what I'm going to do. We should know exactly what it was on Monday and I should have a bit of time to finish it up then.

🙂

 

[oxeye]

why am I craving mushrooms now?

 

[beary]

Just don't wipe your own nose after playing with the big chunk of fungus. 😉

Not a worry. My hands are practically falling off from how much I wash them and use purell.

congrats on the suit by the way brett! med school interviewees always look like they are applying for jobs as morticians.... everyone in the room is usually wearing a black suit, everyone is afraid of colors.

 

[beary]

why am I craving mushrooms now?

That's gross oxeye.

Though I think you folks are showing signs of being pathologists comparing everything to food. We do that all the time. "Hey, it looks like barbequed pork!"

 

[beary]

I went wild and crazy and wore a black suit with a colorful blouse underneath. (See myspace pic for example. 😉 )

 

[Arsenic]

i've always been really good with washing my hands beary. lately i've been extra careful, i always wash them before and after seeing a patient. i'm freaked out about picking up some weird hospital bacteria. 3 weeks and no infection so far...... *crosses fingers*

That's really good A-man. Kids are basically walking petri dishes. I got pertussis in med school, but that was the only weird thing I got, and I guess that's not even that weird.

 

[oxeye]

That's gross oxeye.

Now you're the one being gross.

So what looks like bbq'ed pork?

 

[oxeye]

Kids are basically walking petri dishes.

Tell me about it. 🙄

 

[DrBowtie]

I'm thinking it might be a little too crazy to wear to an actual interview. We'll see how hot it will be on interview day...

 

[Arsenic]

WTF? pertussis? arent the DTaP vaccines supposed to cover you? wow

 

[oxeye]

Kids are basically walking petri dishes.

They are also poop machines.

 

[beary]

Now you're the one being gross.

So what looks like bbq'ed pork?

Pieces of placenta.

i wont fault you if you wear a black suit 🙂

 

[Arsenic]

Pieces of placenta.

that was uncalled for doctor beary

 

[oxeye]

WTF? pertussis? arent the DTaP vaccines supposed to cover you? wow

My husband had it a couple years ago and he had been vaccinated. They are apparently wearing off in some adults.

 

[beary]

The pertussis part of the vaccine doesn't last very long. It's not as big of a deal in adults as it is in kids. Though I coughed for two months. Finally got it cleared up with antibiotics. It was going through Iowa City like wildfire then.

 

[oxeye]

Pieces of placenta.

In the words of Tom Cruise - "yum"

I've never had BBQ pork but I have seen lots of placentas. I never made the connection.

 

[beary]

Hey, oxeye asked!!

 

[oxeye]

And Arsenic will never eat BBQ pork again .....

 

[Arsenic]

My husband had it a couple years ago and he had been vaccinated. They are apparently wearing off in some adults.

that really is amazing, i hadnt heard anything about that. you get 5 shots of DTAP as a kid, the last one around age 4-6. thats really interesting.

 

[oxeye]

Yeah, apparently lots of people are still getting pertussis around here. The pediatrician decided to delay some of the vaccines with my baby, but she was adament that she stay on schedule with DTAP because of that.

She decided that she's wasn't at a huge risk for getting HepB or polio right then. 😉

 

[beary]

She decided that she's wasn't at a huge risk for getting HepB or polio right then. 😉

Yeah, that sounds like a safe assumption.

You've never had BBQ Pork? You're missing out!

 

[Arsenic]

Yeah, that sounds like a safe assumption.

isnt the first hep B shot given at birth though? its the only one given at birth, thats how i remember it.

 

[Anastasis]

[oxeye]

I know. I try not to eat too many pig meat products. They're such sweet animals - even though they are delicious.

I try to limit myself to chicken, turkey, and beef (and I don't eat too much beef).

 

[Arsenic]

And Arsenic will never eat BBQ pork again .....

i'll make an exception for babyback ribs. 😀

 

[Anastasis]

Pieces of placenta.

Oh hurl. *scratches Path off the list*

 

[oxeye]

They recently changed to that here. My older daughter got her first HepB at 2 months. My little daughter got it at 1 day old.

So many good pork products.....

 

[Arsenic]

Oh hurl. *scratches Path off the list*

wait until you go through gross anatomy. everyone will say that the pectoral muscles look like flank steak etc... and then at the end of lab everyone is starving. 😱 insane.......

i heard from one of our TAs though that it might be the preservative they use in the cadavers that causes people to feel hungry.

 

[oxeye]

They recently changed to that here. My older daughter got her first HepB at 2 months. My little daughter got it at 1 day old.

And don't they get 3 doses of it? I remember 2, 4, and 6 months with my older daughter.

Hmm, maybe they get 4 .... can't remember.

Movie was ok. Its just a huge ploy to get you to go see Pirates 3. I was disappointed, huge clifhanger. Almost like a TV episode.

My micro prof's husband had for well over a year 🙁 It was really bad. Blood vessels popping in eyes and everything.
