Who is Cecelia?

More importantly, who is Kim?

Why is it that I lose so many pens? Seems like every time I go to work I come home with at least one fewer pen than I went in with.

You're supposed to use pens from work and leave them at work... at least, that's how I got around it 😎
 
I saw Super Size Me. I will cut down my McDonald's intake from 2-3x/year to zero.

That film totally rocks. I hadn't laughed so hard in a very long while. I don't know how he did it - just the thought makes me sick.

The McD's near my place is advertising a Fruit and Walnut salad.

I love the part where they go over his labs after being on the Mac Attack diet.

Dude, the guy pukes 22 minutes after eating a super sized double quarter pounder with cheese extra value meal on day 2 of his month long experiment. That is classic! :laugh:
 
it's nice to see another random, long ass thread in another forum.
 
I found your lair.........you and yaah...........:meanie:

Muwhahahahaha!
 
I'm well, how are you, Andy? I haven't seen you up at weird hours
 
You need to go back and read from the beginning. This thread started off with some very looooong posts. Some are fairly entertaining.

As soon as I saw that I knew this guy was a wuss. I would have no problem eating that meal.

I had McDonalds for dinner tonight, BTW. 🙄

yeah, but do you eat MickyD's every night?
 
Burger King is slightly more palatable for me than McDonald's. Actually, the last time I had a double quarter pounder from CrackDonald's a few years ago, I puked too.

Then there's Taco Bell (aka Toxic Hell or Taco Hell)...if constipation is your problem, this is the solution.

I actually have never had a double quarter pounder, so I shouldn't say for sure that I wouldn't puke. I like the chicken sandwiches.

I cannot stand Taco Bell. Not only because of digestive problems, but it is just so gross that I seriously would rather not eat than eat that.
 
OK OK is it me or is Extreme Makeover: Home edition one of the stupidest, ******ed shows on television. And the host of that show is like an old, washed-version of Ryan Seacrest. Two thumbs down.
 
Taco smell.

Bleaaaarggh

I don't like Taco Bell. When I did my 4th year rotation at Mayo I walked about a mile because I felt like going for a walk, and stopped at Taco bell on the way back to get dinner. There were some incredibly sketchy people hanging out there, but I took a chance and went in because there was also a cop car there. I can't even remember what I had, some kind of soft taco or something. Bleaaarghh

seriously? I'm posting alone in the path forum? :laugh:
 
When do we get to change avatars again? My happy Tigger was appropriate right after I got my Ph.D., but no longer fits me since I am going back to med school tomorrow. +pity+

yeah, i'm sorry to hear that. med school really does suck. go into med school thinking exactly that...then the experience may be better. if you go into med school all excited, you will be disappointed.

I certainly don't have this problem. :laugh:

It sure is a good thing that I am so excited about being a pathologist! At least I have a goal at the end of all this!
 
good good 😀

OK I shall impart with you a word of advice:

You are in possession of a trump card called the MSTP trump card. Don't bust out the trump card at the beginning of the rotation. Use it near the end when the evaluation forms are being filled out. So when your attending/preceptor and you discuss your performance over the last few weeks or month and tells you, "well you did a great job but...", then it's time for you to dish it out (but dish it out gently).

*WABAM!* "I probably appeared ******ed to you because it's been a while since second year of med school."
Attending: "Oh yeah, what were you doing during that time?"
You: "I was in grad school."
Attending: "Oh really? So you have a PhD."
You: "Well technically no since our PhD is awarded concurrently with the MD"
Attending: "So you're an MD/PhD student? Wow, that's impressive."
You: "Word."
Attending: "Well, where's that eval form."

And like that, you're all set.

It even works better when your attending is an MD/PhD. I can't count the number of times this trick worked for me...well did it really "work"? I guess not since I never got Honors during clerkships but I didn't get straight Passes either.

Oh BTW beary, this is the attitude you should have when stepping foot into the wards/clinic tomorrow.

Much more than that! 😉


beary I am trying to imagine what avatar you are picking, now that you are being forced to descend into Dante's inferno again.

I found some scenes from your upcoming rotation:

To paraphrase Dante:

"Perchance thou believest that here is the CHIEF RESIDENT who up in the world brought suffering to thee? Get thee gone, beast, for this one comes not instructed by thy ATTENDING, but he goes to behold your punishments."

yaah - these pictures are a perfect visual representation of my day. I have only been back at med school for one day, on DERM (no call or weekends or any sort), and I feel like my life is ending. Can I do this for a whole year? I dunno.

The only bright spot of my day - I got to look under the scope at a slide from a kid with cutaneous mastocytosis. 👍 Of course this took about 7 seconds out of a 9 hour day. 👎
 
OMG clinical derm sucks. So after one day you have probably seen most of what you will see the rest of the month. The reason no one can ever get an appointment to see a dermatologist is because everyone who sees the dermatologist needs a follow up visit every 2 or 3 weeks for various reasons.

Did anyone ever use the calendar system above? WTF do we have it for?
Click to expand...

Ha! I never even noticed that was there. Every little computer program or device seems to have these calendars for us to keep track of our important events, but I never use any of them. My email program has it, my cell phone has it, lots of internet sites have them, my department has them, it goes on like this.

Should use that calendar: April 27th, post nonsense from 8pm-10pm. :laugh:
 
looks like beary's gonna be posting a lot in that Anti-Clinical Medicine Thread.
 
They were giving out mood rings in the lab today in a random way to celebrate national lab week (since it was the 30th anniversary of lab week, they did a flashback to 1975 and gave out mood rings). So I think mood rings are cool. I brought one to my girl at work at hers turned purple when she put it on. 😍

Oh, and by the way, I had a dream last night where I bought a sea lion at the supermarket (a live one), brought it home, and took it for a walk outside before cooking it for dinner. Figure that one out.

How did it taste? :laugh: And were you happy or distraught to be eating it?

I was given a mood ring. It works still - unfortunately rings are the one item of jewellery I cannot stand to wear. They... how do I say, impede movement. And I have this perpetual fear that one will get stuck and not come off - whether because it was too small to start with (acute) or I grew fat (chronic).

Nana I thought rocks on a rope were weapons of self-defence. Guess the 80's must have been a happier world than now. 😉
 
You can get any ring off with dish soap. Just be sure to plug the drain first if you are doing this over the sink.

The way the rocks were tied on, you couldn't do alot of damage. The rope was very cushiony. I don't even know that it would be useful in breaking a window.
 
I never actually ate the sea lion. The dream ended with me chasing it around the house with a large knife. It was a fast little bugger.
