Random non-MCAT and only peripherally related to the MCAT thread - Part 8

[Arsenic]

---

Members do not see this ad.

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

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

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

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.

That's JLW. I don't know that beary knows how to make cookies. 😉

No, no homemade cookies.

I would be happy to buy you cookies though and buy you take out or make you a feast of easy mac and canned soup! 😀

 

[beary]

I was talking about someone harassing the hubby (and there is STILL ice cream in the freezer 😛 ) I think we need the amish gang to get this person in order ... who will help me 😡

Me!!!

 

[beary]

Oh and pw - love the new sig and tagline! 😀

It makes my lungs feel funny. 😳

 

[Beau Geste]

trust me a not so nice person who takes advantage of nice people 😡

Someone in your personal life or from SDN?

 

[mshheaddoc]

Me!!!

FANTASTIC!

 

[mshheaddoc]

It makes my lungs feel funny. 😳

better than loving placentas 😛

 

[mshheaddoc]

Someone in your personal life or from SDN?

oh, not on sdn! At least, one will hope they aren't watching us ....

 

[beary]

better than loving placentas 😛

This is true.

 

[mshheaddoc]

This is true.

So you still in bed 😉 Meaning answering pages from bed ...

 

[beary]

So you still in bed 😉

I'm at home! In my pajamas working on my seminar for Friday. Going in in about an hour to sign out an autopsy. 👍

Advice please: My seminar is about Hep C - the Flavivirus!! I like to put funny things in my talk, and it used to work really well at Iowa. I don't know though how a picture of Flava Flav would go over with this crowd. 😳

 

[Hernandez]

Someone in your personal life or from SDN?

I'll fill ya in, it's the other student I'm with on this rotation. He's been the laziest **** and been trying to push his work off onto me. He managed to be gone for 11-12 days straight with 4 of them because he was "stuck in chicago" during the blizard, who the hell gets stuck in chicago for 4 days when everyone else seems to be making it out in 12 hours? Then on the weekends he's on, he might write a note on my pts, and then he asks me to cover his pts on wens while he goes out of town to pick up/drop off his daughter, yet he's too ****ing lazy to do a 5 minute H&P on a pt going into me when they come in on his weekend on. and this is after an incident last week; we're guarenteed 2 days off for christmas break, so he takes his last friday, yet I get a phone call at 1100 on thurday with him asking me to go see a new pt of his because he's already left town and can't do it, so exactly wtf does he think he is? Too good to do his own ****ing word? I'm beyond pissed with this, and what I can not fathom is that he's pulling this **** in full view of the residents who have said stuff to me and the attendings and this is the residency he wants to go to. WTF?

 

[mshheaddoc]

uh, yeah. He's pissed. Can you tell? He's not usually this wordy unless its in the everyone forum 😛

 

[Beau Geste]

I'm watchingthe rocky movie on google video. It will be over before I'm able to register for the MCAT!

 

[beary]

So you still in bed 😉 Meaning answering pages from bed ...

You know, I have only gotten one page all morning!!

Being very productive again. 😀 HepC is pretty interesting. Just blasting through putting this talk together so I can get autopsies done! Woot!

I supposedly have another talk on Friday as well (in addition to the hepC one) but I heard a rumor that this is cancelled. No confirmation though. Hmmm...

I've not had this many * in my posts since the catsmeow everyone forum epic down in 2005.

From now on, be too "busy" or "occupied" to do his stuff. You could also bring it to the attention of the resident/attending

That totally sucks Hern. 😡

Hopefully you won't have to deal with this idiot much longer. I have people like this in my residency as well. Drives me crazy. Hang in there.

 

[beary]

uh, yeah. He's pissed. Can you tell? He's not usually this wordy unless its in the everyone forum 😛

Yeah that is definitely the longest post I have ever seen from Hern. 🙂

 

[Hernandez]

the residents know, as well as at least 2 of the 5 attendings, and I flat out told him today. he can have his day off tomorrow, but I'm not covering his pts, I've covered enough. I think he knows I'm pissed cause he dropped it at that and scurried off.

 

[Hernandez]

I won't have to deal with him, but there is a very real possibility that I'll have to deal with his wife in the program I hope to go to. 🙄

 

[Hernandez]

Yeah that is definitely the longest post I have ever seen from Hern. 🙂

That is nothing. I've got multi-post replies in the sociopolitics forum.

 

[Beau Geste]

Good. I hate users.

Sometimes favors are necessary, but that's ridiculous.

 

[mshheaddoc]

nevermind, It didn't seem right but got the updated genome.

I feel sick to my stomach. Blech.

 

[Beau Geste]

Rocky Balboa is a really good movie. I remembered all the other ones and I cried at the beginning and end of this one 😳

 

[TypeA]

trust me a not so nice person who takes advantage of nice people 😡

I can't stand people like that. And they are messing w/hubby you say? I HATE that when people mess with PWH like that. He is such a nice guy and I walk this horrible line trying to suggest a way to handle it and "telling him what to do."

Man, that totally ticks me off. So, Hern...listen to your wife. 😉

 

[TypeA]

Acidophillus. (Not medical advice..I am a post-bacc dang it.) However...ask random macrochip shelters if it has helped them.

 

[TypeA]

It makes my lungs feel funny. 😳

My lungs DO feel funny. That is what "inspired" it. LOL LOL LOL LOL LOL

Good. I hate idiots.

 

[mshheaddoc]

I just wanna register 🙁

 

[TypeA]

I won't have to deal with him, but there is a very real possibility that I'll have to deal with his wife in the program I hope to go to. 🙄

Hopefully, OPPOSITES attract in that relationship.

 

[Hernandez]

Hopefully, OPPOSITES attract in that relationship.

bah. He got the last dig, he informed me that his wife got a phone call from the program we're both appying to and told her she has a spot if she wants it. Now I'm pissed and re-worried about match. bastard.....

 

[Beau Geste]

ditto. And I'm not leaving the computer until I do.

Geez, I have so much work to get done, too.

 

[Beau Geste]

bah. He got the last dig, he informed me that his wife got a phone call from the program we're both appying to and told her she has a spot if she wants it. Now I'm pissed and re-worried about match. bastard.....

It will work out as it should. I hate to sound like a Chinese proverb, but I believe that.

 

[mshheaddoc]

😡 🙁

 

[Hernandez]

It will work out as it should. I hate to sound like a Chinese proverb, but I believe that.

I'm sure it will, as one of the sr residents popped off to me that there has been an "other student" sighting today but blast if the twisting of the knife didn't hurt a bit.

PWH is a nice guy. Hi PWH! 😉

It has helped this particular random macrochip shelter. 👍

ROFLMAO.

Hope your lungs feel less funny soon.

I'm sorry Hern... match is so stressful. 🙁

And mush and meg - hope you get MCAT registered soon!

 

[beary]

HAHAHAHA, for some reason I thought this email was hilarious.

"Please be careful when returning slides in cardboard trays to the desk in room xxx.
Slides are being stacked too high and there was an avalanche today that resulted in several broken slides.
If there is not enough room, please place slides on the desk behind this one until we can come up with a better long term solution."

And with that, I'm off to work to sign out an autopsy and return some slides. 😀

 

[mshheaddoc]

well if hubby doesn't get his first choice, there isn't much sense in me taking MCAT 🙁 😡

 

[mshheaddoc]

avalanches can be deadly! 😱

 

[Beau Geste]

well if hubby doesn't get his first choice, there isn't much sense in me taking MCAT 🙁 😡

Don't worry Mush.... keep forging ahead with your plans and make adjustments IF the time comes.
