Well, it's also my rotations - I have been on decently busy rotations lately, so generally don't visit here at all during the day. Next month I am back on autopsy so I may have lots of free time...😎
YAY! :clap: Autopsies!!!! :clap:

I think it is probably because sometimes it's hard to get volunteers to take students, so they take them wherever they can get them. I got sent 35 miles for pedes, 55 miles for FP.

I sure better not get ignored since I'm going 100 miles. :meanie:

Last week I really only did anything for one day. All the other days I was totally ignored. I would even ask to do stuff and they would basically say later.
 
You're asking to do stuff? Why? :laugh: 😉

The only good thing about those far away rotations is that usually the preceptor is a good teacher who likes having students. Plus, you usually get some extra credit for coming all that distance. 🙂

Yeah, good question. I was just getting so bored and mad sitting there and the time went faster if I was at least going to see patients. However, two of the days I just left and went back to lab. 🙂

I live 45 miles off campus. I'm so tempted to move for next year. I don't care how much it costs.

Wow - that's a long way. Is that about an hour and a half a day of commute time?

Guess I shouldn't be whining about having to go 100 miles away for a week.
😳
 
It's an hour and a half if light traffic. I take the express bus from downtown Tacoma. It would be about the same time if I drove, plus I'd have to pay for gas and parking. Since the campus parking lot is pretty far away and the bus drops me off right next to my building, I usually opt for the bus.

I like driving, though. 100 miles there is probably like 2 hours if it is straight freeway. That would be fun if I weren't tired. Tt might be nice to get a hotel, though, so you don't have to get up at the butt crack of dawn. Plus that way we can entertain you! 🙂

no. you're a med student. med school sucks. you're supposed to whine. whine away!
 
I am waiting for the northern lights. So far nothing is going on, but it is still kind of early. I have been disappointed many times before though when they were forecast.

Yeah, I already made reservations for a hotel. I figure that way I will be able to get some studying done, and of course internet. I made sure that the place I am staying has high speed internet. :laugh:

Thank you. I think you're going to be hearing lots of whining from me for the next year. 🙄

I just got that. :laugh:
Is that because you just got EAR? Or, is it because you weren't LISTENING very well before? 😛

I am starting to wonder if I have an ear infection. My ears never hurt when I have a cold. And they started hurting before I started coughing. Stupid ears. I should just cut em off! 🙁

I am very sorry about your ears. 🙁 I had an ear infection last year (the only one I've had as an adult) and it was very painful. I only had it in one ear and I couldn't hear anything at all in that ear - it was really weird. Antibiotics helped pretty much right away though. I sure hope you feel better soon.
 
I had them alot as a kid and don't remember them hurting then. I remember really liking the bubblegum flavor of amoxicillin suspension. IBU seems to be keeping the inflammation down. Maybe my body will heal on it's own. If not, I have an appt with my FP on Tuesday anyway.

You know I took my dog to the groomer and they shaved his butt. It looks so stupid. He only went for a bath/brushing/nail trim. Apparently they do some anal cleansing because his rear end is super clean. My poor terrorized doggie.

What is EAR? Sometimes I overthink things and this one I can't figure out.

Andy is here for me. But since I am whining all the time, he has to use his ears to listen. 🙂
 
Rants for the day:

(1) Didn't eat since lunch yesterday and decided to try my luck at the local CrackDonald's (which I haven't gotten food from in ages). I got the 2 cheeseburger meal. I ate the first one and felt the urge to hurl. Ended up throwing the rest away while thinking, "you know, jerry in ethiopia would enjoy this."

(2) I have exceeded my daily quota of uttering the phrase, "g'damn people are f*cking stupid!"

(3) Old people shouldn't be allowed to drive.

Haven't seen it but am curious. I heard a report about it on NPR.

I am giving the NBA a shot today. Lord knows I am trying but it just truly sucks. Oh wait, this is the internet. I'm supposed to say it is "teh suck." 🙄

The Pistons are quite disappointing in this series of games.

👎

I thought the Pistons had this in the bag. Even if they win, they'll be going up against a well-rested Miami Heat team and end up getting whooped. And all the folks who say that Dwayne Wade ain't no Kobe...who cares! Dude scored 42 points last night! 😱
 
ok pistons up by 16 and the fourth quarter just started. if they lose this lead and f*ck this up, i'm gonna be upset.

You a pistons fan now? I like Reggie Miller but I would rather see the pistons win.

Damn I'm getting hungry again. I'm getting used to my weekly sunday metzgers fix.

I really don't care. Pistons are easy to root for since Ann Arbor is near Detroit and they're doing well. Call me a bandwagon fan...hey, have a spoon. I don't really care for the NBA though but there's no other sports to follow now. I even prefer NHL to NBA but we all know what happened to the NHL.

Well, my roommate and I are wondering what we're gonna do for food. If you're up for going, I can run the idea by him and see if he's up for going.

:laugh: Sure why not. I haven't been there in like a week.

Yeah you can be bandwagon it's ok. Good luck becoming a celtics fan though since they suck and are unlikeable.

I don't like Reggie Miller. Have you heard him talk? That's some funny ****.

He looks like one of those ferengi from Star Trek.

well he's on the phone so i'll try to catch him when he's done talking.

get on aim.
 
yaah said:
I just like him because he actually seems to play hard and plays better in clutch situations.
i know....he's a special player...that's what Joe Dumars said today.
 
yaah said:
I hate that cliche.
yeah, but when he said "special" i had a certain thought going thru my mind...and i started chuckling.

he could've also substituted "special" with "exceptional" and i would've laughed more.
 
hmm pathology has more posts than all of the other residency forums. i wonder if that signifies anything. i cant believe reggie miller is still playing. hes like the only one from the original dream team.

yes....ferengi have very long life spans. he'll probably retire by age 60.

Yes. It means we are teh awesome.

OK, that is the last time ever I will use "teh." It is officially played out.
