how's your studying going guys? are you freaking out? burned out?

this is our stress relief thread....or our group anxiety thread, whatever..... :laugh: 😀

for those of you that have no idea what the mcat random threads are about, check out molly's explanation:

MollyMalone said:
It's basically a restaurant. That serves breaststicks. And lots of cute fruit and veggies. And is patronized by a HO. And Tucker Carlson. Vin Diesel, too. Lots of race car drivers eat here, as well. We're very well respected by the Amish... one girl in particular is here almost all the time.

The food is great if you're low on iron. It's not on the menu, but you can ask about the special secret garlic cure home recipe. One of the hostesses often makes weather predictions, but she's not always around. I think she has another job with the government. Or a government. Something like that. One of the other hostesses says "Bitch, please," a lot, but she's joking... don't take it personally.

Forget anything you've heard about the girl who died here from arsenic poisoning. That was a long time ago, and she's still alive, anyway... just busy so she doesn't come in as much. Besides, a little arsenic adds a lot of flavor to just about any dish.

Pretty flowers by the entrance, hey? Lilis, they are. Beautiful. And the music is totally hopping... we have our very own DJ. Looks a little like Brad Pitt.

I guess that's pretty much all you need to know. I'm usually in the corner booth over there drinking a nice glass of wine. You're welcome to join me, anytime. We're open 24/7.

And good night! It's only 9:35 here but I'm exhausted. The baby would only sleep last night if she was in my arms and that keep me from getting a good night's sleep. 🙁 Fingers crossed that tonight goes better!

I sure hope so! *sleep well wishes for oxeye and babies*
 
Yeah, she woke up at 5:30 and we went to 5 or 6 houses. She liked it and was really happy to go, but I could tell it took a lot out of her.

Okay - I'm really going to sleep now! Good night everyone!

Good night!
 
Thank you SO MUCH oxeye. I am very very nervous. :scared: Not only because I don't feel like I have the physical strength, but also I just have no idea what the heck I am supposed to be doing. Sort of feels like starting residency all over again.

Um yeah...you cut people....DEAD ones. Duh. 😉
 
You make it sound deceptively simple. 😉

Thanks so much for your note btw. And huge good luck for your chem exam today. :luck:

The difficulty lies in not slicing into the live ones. I just have a knack for being able to tell them apart. Don't worry, a few mistakes and you will too. 😛

Yes, I suspect hacking off a few of my own fingers by mistake will drive this lesson home quite nicely. 😱 😉 Trust me, that autopsy saw is SCARY.

I AM SO FREAKING OUT!!! :scared: *deep breath*
 
I really must take a shower. I have a habit of doing so everyday. If you are around in a few, I will respond then.
 
sweet! except, I have to get dressed about 15 minutes ago. 🙁

Did you sleep?

Yes, I had a blissful 4 hours of xanax and ambien induced peaceful sleep. No sweats either!! Which I take as a good sign.

I have to get to The Morgue, so I'm signing off as well. Have a good one sweetie. 😍

I will call in a few.
 
Aww, I won't be able to talk or respond to a page for a few hours from now at least. Thanks though! OK, now really going for real!

Good morning randomites! And see y'all later!

I totally didn't clue in that you were already at the hospital. (Sorry, still asleep.) I thought you were at home. 😛
:luck:
 
So Reading gets bad press and of course Philly has to jump all over it 🙁

It's a blatent cheap shot to try to make Philly look better and Reading look horrible, and they don't even have the facts right😡


That sounds like something daily news would do. 🙄


My old username is my aim name and it's been bugging me for months 😳

I had contemplated changing mine since I've used this from high shcool (and have had people recognize me on here b/c of that) but I figured, what the hell ...
 
Good morning and good-bye Randomites! Catch you all in 48 hrs! (with the exception of jlw of course 😀)
 
No new autopsies yet this morning. Just cut in the organs from yesterday's exciting case.

So, let's root for no deaths before 1!! After 1, they get done the next day. Though I have to do all the placentas that came in up until 5. So hopefully I will get to be home in approximately 8 hours. I might just immediately go to bed and not even watch Lost. 😴 😴
 
That sucks jlw. Mice suck.
thank you. I have a townhouse, and I've been hearing scratching in the walls between my house and my neighbors', so I had figured we had one in there. guess he just picked my house, not theirs when he found a way in. 🙁

have to get rid of him if he's not going to pay rent and 1/2 of the utilities, though. no moochers.
 
and beary............

:luck: on the new rotation! careful with that saw, babe...

Thanks so much Ana and jlw. I've only been doing this for four hours and feel like I've run a marathon or something. 🙁 I've got to find call rooms around here somewhere where I can lay down. I know where they are at the VA but not at this hospital.

Love beary
