I can’t stop myself from posting
Even when I m under stress
Let me have one post at least
I like to gobble people
I read and talk eagerly
Later all,
 
I am giving up my poetry. I am not in the mood for writing in verse. So I totally locking my poetry up behind some closed doors. I will see how long I can do that though. I guess I am a bit moody. Okay, I am on the posting spree mood. 🙂

Find me a better one then! And, while you're at it, go to the kitchen and make me a pie! 😛

After looking at the pics of your old sink, I'm not sure I'd cook in your kitchen even if men were meant to cook. :meanie:

The lemon kind smells yummy.

ok.... i have to go play doctor now for 3 hours, and not the fun kind either. :laugh:

i hate that we have 3 finals coming up and they make us divert time from that to talk about cases and interview patients. its not that i dont like it.... its justs that it sucks when you have all this other stuff on your plate and they make you do the touchy feely stuff on top of it. like, why cant we just do this on tuesday of next week? argh.......

stressed R.... I think I may be able to pull it off though, tonight and tomorrow will be critical. plus there is a hurricane coming...... i really really hope that the admins do NOT cancel class this Friday because i want to get anatomy out of the way so i can study for the rheum and derm finals this monday. i havent looked at those and i really dont want to take an anatomy written final, then lab final, then 2 other finals on the same day. 😡

ok.... saw the patient. 46 year old african american woman in no apparent distress. past surgical history included having had her adrenal glands removed a few years ago because of bilateral pheochromocytomas (benign tumors of the adrenals). turns out she went off her corticosteroids a couple of weeks ago to lose weight and ended up going into an Addison's like crisis because of it. she didnt understand she could die without the pills!

she presented to the ER yesterday morning with severe chest pain and shortness of breath.... but that was just a result of going off the meds. pretty cool case since pheo's arent all that common anymore but they run in her family. her father died of it, a sister and brother died of it, and she caught both of hers a few years ago before they killed her.

ok.... there, i've just presented my patient. thank you mcat forum, you are all my attending physicians. now pass me so i can get the hell out of here and onto anatomy. 😛

I have been to two classes this morning, and I have worked so hard. My eyes are completely dried out to question anyone anymore, and I am so depressed.
 
Later all. I am so worried about what I am going to do if I don’t get into med school this year. 🙁

Word. I hate the stupid busy work for my electives. There are better things for me to be doing. 😡

I have a suggestion: move out of this forum, and study for your exam. seriously, the studying would help.

You will NOT have school 🙁

damn it..... i'm all for school closings but this is ridiculous, i'll let you know what out admins decide. i just checked the forecast and it seems like it still wont be here on friday but they might just decide to cancel school that day so that we can prepare, evacuate, whatever.....

what would really suck is if the hurricane hits us mid-weekend.... say saturday night. if that happens i know they wont cancel school on monday. we'll have to go through the hurricane and the prep for it, lose power, blah blah blah and still have the exam as scheduled.
 
If you need help staying away from this forum, Remember R and her sad face, and you will move out from nowhere. If you don't study, you will get low scores on your exams like i did on the MCAT. 🙁 But I hope it does not happen, good luck though. :luck: :luck: :luck:
 
A - looks like sunday is your magic hitting time ... depending on how strong and how fast its moving. We should know by tomorrow night a better track.


You'll probably have class Friday .... hopefully the thing falls apart tomorrow when it hits. I doubt it though. Its hitting a penisula and the strongest forces are to the NE quadrant 🙁

that thing is scary, i dont even want to think about it but thanks for the update mush.

i'm on a self imposed "5 day post hold" but I just wanted to tell you guys something funny i saw tonight. ok.... i'm studying at the med school library right now. theres a bunch of places to eat here that are part of the medical center, one of them is mcdonalds. if you walk in there you'll see patients in line holding onto their IV poles with the IV line going into their arm :laugh: . I also saw a woman tonight who was just wearing shorts underneath her hospital gown, which was open from the back. 😱

crazy....... this is why you choose to go to med school at an urban medical center :laugh:

why so quiet today??


I've been in class whole day, and then just got home and had to do a couple of things only to go back out to go to the grocery store. Now I need to email a couple of people about volunteering info and then do a ton of school work.

Good luck :luck: :luck: I know you'll do freakin' awesome! when you're done you can play doctor--the fun kind. Oh--I can't believe ppl with IVs eat at McDonalds--that is so hilarious! :laugh:
