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



And remember......

 

[beary]

so today marks the anniversary of a big event in my life. but I kind of kept forgetting about it all day... which I think is a good thing.. means moving on. but then I get sad that I keep forgetting. and then I remember that it's a good thing it's not totally on my mind..... thumbs-down to vicious cycles. thumbs-up to moving on.

*hugs to jlw* 😍

 

[AWhitehair]

yeah beary--let me tell you--that was not an easy google--had to dig for that one

 

[Nikki2002]

Nice. You need to teach me your mad googling skills so when I get crap that I don't know what the heck it is I can figure it out. 😉

ya. What terms did you search for?

 

[AWhitehair]

dont you still have 3 weeks left? cant you just spread it out?

Yes, but I have a list for every day! If I miss one, then I have more to do the next day and so on. It is like a snowball effect.

*hugs to jlw* 😍

thanks. needed that.

and mush, it's a family thing. and it happens to be my mom's bday today. so it's always tough on her, but that *is* our other anniversary... she's a trooper.

 

[beary]

ya. What terms did you search for?

Seriously. All I showed was a pic and mentioned food.

Hmm.... "nasty placenta pic food"

 

[AWhitehair]

Well, that was fun! Let's do another! Beary??

 

[Arsenic]

Yes, but I have a list for every day! If I miss one, then I have more to do the next day and so on. It is like a snowball effect.

wow, you really ARE destined to be a med student. you sound like me 2 months ago when i was studying for step 1. 🙂

just dont get to freaked out, i must have "revised" my schedule a dozen times between when i first wrote it and when i took step 1.

 

[Beau Geste]

You'll kick butt Megboo!

I didn't kick butt 🙁

I got an 80, and that brought my grade down to an 89.9% I hope he rounds up.

 

[Arsenic]

ok, i'm out suckas! i can only post ***** like 30 minutes a day. that was efficient.

good luck to my favorite random premeds studying for the mcat!

Yeah, I know. You'd think I was scoring 14's across the board by now. I didn't start studying like this until a couple of weeks ago though. 😉

I'm trying hard to figure out how two-year-olds manage to keep posting on SDN. 🙂

How's your life?? Hope things are going well!

Oh sorry - I'll keep my daughter away from the keyboard from now on.

[mshheaddoc]

is Untold Stories of the ER true?


There is a story in Oklahoma and I can't find out where it took place.

 

[AWhitehair]

Okay, I got my DEW, let's roll!

 

[Nikki2002]

today was my last day on the peds floor. its amazing how much bonding there is in 3rd year, i've become REALLY good friends with my team mates, some of which i only knew as acquaintances in the first 2 years. it sucks moving on to ob now and leaving them, we're not on the same schedule since i was supposed to be on ob as my first rotation but flipped it with peds (my 2nd) so that i could start with something easier. they are all going on to family medicine. 🙁

it feels great to be done with a rotation though... well, ALMOST done. one more activity this friday and then i get the weekend off! 😍 plus, since they canceled the oral exam that use to be required in this rotation we have a free day tomorrow to just stay home and cram... i mean, "review" peds.

😍 sorry everyone is going to family med 🙁 but you should know that ob/gyn brings people together. I can't believe this rotation is almost done--has it really been 6 weeks? crap. I'm glad you have tomorrow to "review" You know you are gonna do great

oh and by the way i can kick anyone's arse in googling

 

[AWhitehair]

is Untold Stories on in the ER true?

I believe so. I think they have taped it here in Jax before?

 

[Beau Geste]

Do you guys miss DR. EUGENICS... 😕 😴

Who???????

 

[Beau Geste]

jlw - bug hugg! I hope you are feeling better. Break open some wine! (I'm gonna do it!)

 

[oxeye]

Oh, well i tok kaplan and had the flashcards...and never use them..then a question on my BS section came up and I never would have learned it in my classes but i checked and it was on those damn flashcards 😡

Ooh which one? Tell me vaguely. 😉 We had the same form.

nikki =- share your google secret. What did you search for in beary's placenta?

 

[oxeye]

What is wrong with this placenta?

hint: does it remind you of a food?

Yummy .......

 

[Beau Geste]

If ya can't take the heat, get out of the kitchen is what I have to say about our psycho poster in non-trad.

She needs xanax.

 

[mshheaddoc]

thanks. needed that.

and mush, it's a family thing. and it happens to be my mom's bday today. so it's always tough on her, but that *is* our other anniversary... she's a trooper.

*hugs* 😍

 

[oxeye]

Here is an ultrasound of the above pictured placenta:

Actually, I think I was sort of unfair with the gross pic. Ultrasonography is where the classic food description comes from.

Is it calcified?

 

[AWhitehair]

Oxeye-

Does Ice cream stand for a new slang or something? I have been hearing it used very strangely lately? And not just on SDN...at work too. Am I missing something guys? 😕

 

[Nikki2002]

nikki =- share your google secret. What did you search for in beary's placenta?

go to google image search, type in "cow placenta" 4th image

why did i search for cow placenta? only the google gods know

 

[oxeye]

And a big DING DING for Nikki!!! I missed your post earlier!

It's a hydatidiform mole, classically described as a "bunch of grapes", esp. on ultrasound.

Nikki - the partial form is often caused by triploidy. 👍

So that's what a molar pregnancy looks like? Cool! (and completely wrong on my guess before! LOL)

 

[oxeye]

aww yes, the lovely hydatiform mole in all its nastinest. whats the hormone thats way way elevated with this condition? *not a question for beary 😛 *

nikki... dont google it... i'm watching you woman!

Ooh, I know! HCG!!!!

 

[Nikki2002]

*big hugs for jlw* 🙂 🙂
