Familial Head and Neck Cancer. It was the end of a summer research program. I had the misfortune of not getting selected to do a poster.

Wow. I never thought that would be a misfortune until now.

Thanks for opening my eyes! 🙂

P.S. I loathe poster presentations.

 

[Dr Durden]

i dont know, that actually doesnt sound half bad. in all seriousness.

a random thread in a mega forum like pre-allo would have to be closed every other day for reaching 10,000 posts.

Their attempts at postwhoring are quite pathetic. Only ten pages in over a week. 🙄

 

[MollyMalone]

So that would mean pre-allo would be just one giant thread.

Yeah, essentially. This is pretty much the only thing dissuading me.

I'm here now.

Went and checked out a furniture outlet this afternoon. I found a bed that wouldbe gorgeous in my daughter's room - normally $200, marked down to $75. Unfortunately we don't have a lot of extra money this month so I might have to wait and get something else later. 🙁

interesting topic though

It was supposed to be some sort of honor, but I'd much prefer standing around for an hour and taking the occassional question than wanting to vomit at a podium. Though this did mean I got to drink complimentary booze during the two hour poster session since my presentation was alread over. 👍

Whoo! Glad there was an upside!!

/no free booze at my poster session, dammit. 🙁

 

[MollyMalone]

Well, I hope you love learning about it, researching it, and preventing it.

It seems a little extreme to love *it*.

 

[oxeye]

i love spina bifida

probably wouldn't love it if you had it

MM- The official word on "bat**** crazy" is "I used it before I moved to Wisconsin. Ask her if she reads Television Without Pity."

[R.P. McMurphy]

Congrats to Mushy and ironman on their respective achievements!

PW, I sympathize for you!!!

On a slightly related topic, does anyone know of a good website to go to for getting ideas for haircuts? I don't know how short I want to go but I do think I want to get at least something lopped off before I start school.

Thanks 😀 I'll probably blow it all this weekend though

 

[pingouin]

btw I'm almost there

OH- you ARE there! for 500! And we didn't even cue the music!

Wow, yes, I do. But I used it before then. Back when I was in high school. 🙂

Where's the fun in that?

 

[supernova33418]

seriously why does a lack of caffine cause tremors in your hands? Well in my case anyway.

 

[pingouin]

had to drive home

but there was chocolate fudge chunk ice cream waiting in the freezer when I got here

 

[supernova33418]

Dr D are you a med student?

 

[pingouin]

it's called withdrawal. as in, you're addicted. 😀

 

[Dr Durden]

Dr D are you a med student?

No, just an aspiring one. Applying this cycle and I need to submit my AMCAS stat.

 

[supernova33418]

wine is good

 

[Dr Durden]

had to drive home

but there was chocolate fudge chunk ice cream waiting in the freezer when I got here

Well that will have to do for a compromise.

 

[supernova33418]

Lachryma Christi (of various sorts) is ~ $10-15, depending on where you find it. It's a really nice, balanced white.

 

[Dr Durden]

psssh, if.

 

[supernova33418]

jlw but why does it happen?

 

[pingouin]

Well that will have to do for a compromise.

well that's totally in my price range. I'll have to write that down and look for it.

 

[supernova33418]

jlw you're making me hungry

 

[pingouin]

jlw but why does it happen?

wellll.. so I'm not a doctor nor do I pretend to be.. but caffeine is a stimulant, and the tremors are your physiological response to being deprived of the stimulant that it's used to.

google caffeine withdrawal and see what you come up with.
