Congrats to the 3 new mods as well!!!!!

Oh and Q, just wait til October when MCAT scores come out and also when the early bird season starts for those taking it in April. That's when it will begin and then get crazy right around January just in time for you to devote a lot of attention to the MCATers. 😀 😀

Alright enough of Test Forms. Here is an oldie but goodie leeched from a jokes site. I still laugh everytime I read it.

Hospital Memo

To: All Hospital Staff
From: Administration/Groundskeeping
Subject: New Cost Cutting Measures

Effective immediately, this hospital will no longer provide security. Each charge nurse will be issued a .38 caliber revolver and 12 rounds of ammunition. An additional 12 rounds will be stored in pharmacy.

In addition to routine nursing duties, charge nurses will rotate the patrolling of the hospital grounds. A bicycle and helmet will be provided for patrolling the parking areas. In light of the similarity of monitoring equipment, ICU will now take over the security surveillance duties. The ward clerk will be responsible for watching cardiac monitors and security monitors as well as regular duties.

Food service will be discontinued. Patients wishing to be fed will need to let their families know to bring something or may make arrangements with Subway or Pizza Hut to deliver. Coin operated telephones will be available in patient rooms for this purpose as well as for other calls the patient may wish to make.

Housekeeping and Physical Therapy will be combined. Mops will be issued to those patients who are ambulatory, thus providing range of motion exercises as well as a clean environment. Families and ambulatory patients may also sign up to clean the rooms of non- ambulatory patients for special discounts on their final bill. Time cards will be provided.

As you can see on the "from" line above, hospital administration is assuming the grounds keeping duties. If an administrator cannot be reached by calling his/her office, it is suggested that you walk outside and listen for the sound of a lawnmower, weed-whacker, etc.

Maintenance is being eliminated. The hospital has subscribed to the Time-Life "How to..." series of maintenance books. These can be checked out from administration, and a toolbox will be standard equipment on all nursing units. We will be receiving the series at a rate of one volume every other month. We already have the volume on "Basic Wiring", but if a non-electrical problem occurs, please try to handle it as best you can until the appropriate volume arrives.

Cutbacks in phlebotomy staff will be accommodated by only performing blood-related tests on patients who are already bleeding.

Physicians will be informed that they may order no more than two X- rays per patient stay. This is due to the turn-around time required by Photomat. Two prints will be provided for the price of one, and physicians are being advised to clip coupons from the Sunday paper if they want extra sets.

Photomat will also honor competitors coupons for one-hour processing in emergency situations so if you come across any extra coupons please clip out and send these to ER.

In view of the hot summer temperatures, the Utilities Dept. has been asked to install individual meters in each patient room, office, etc., so that electrical consumption can be monitored and appropriately billed. Fans will be available for sale or lease in the hospital gift shop.

In addition to the current recycling programs, a bin for collection of unused fruit and bread will soon be provided on each floor. Families, patients, and the few remaining employees are asked to contribute discarded produce. Pharmacy will utilize this for antibiotic production. These will be available for purchase and, coincidentally, will soon be the only antibiotics on our HMO's formulary.

Hmmmmmmmmmm Harry Potter. I'm going to definitely be borrowing those books from my bro eventually. Don't want to spend money I don't have right now, cuz my bro already owns copies of the series so I can get it from him. But I'll eventually be reading that too.

yeah, i was surprised the dude got a 28. verbal i can understand, same thing for physical sciences since he had a physics background, but an 8 in bio with no chem knowledge and no real bio knowledge is crazy. i would have expected a 5 or something.

Physical sciences is largely G-chem.

I think it just means test taking skills matter more on the test than people think.

Some, but this guy didn't have any practice, remember? I think it's general analytical skills that matter more than people would think. *Those* he would definitely have given his background and career.

Test anxiety is a big problem too. I have seen several students do great on their practice tests and then fall apart on the real test day. But then again, some people are the other way around; they do better with a little adrenaline going. What would you expect from people who take the MCAT for fun? :laugh:

Niderl is a girl?????????????????????? I didn't know that. For some reason, I thought they were a male. If you are a girl, then I apologize in advance for not getting it right. I'm sorry. 😳 😳

On a side note, Mushy, I added you to my facebook thing. I'm the one from USF on Alex's profile, the only one from USF on his profile 😉

Edited because: So I'm ******ed or something, I just realized that you did confirm me for the facebook thing, mushy.

BTW, you look nice in your picture. Just thought I'd share that with you. 😛

thats true though, you just named the 4 most active periods of the mcat forum. i actually didnt find out about SDN until I was interviewing for med school but I would have definitely been all over this place had I known about it when I was studying for my MCAT.
