[EM2BE]

on the bright side, on trauma call, I had a class 2 trauma come in and loved it! I got to sew up the leg in the ED...it felt like home, I wanted to stay

I am afraid that if I go to "shadow" a physician in the ED that I won't want to go home and study...I'd want to stay and learn it there.

 

[iatrosB]

That comforts me...you know how med students can get.

If only EM was more like FM in terms of competitiveness

 

[chumbojumbo]

yes, i remember...dont worry...just keep a level head...trust me, it will make all the difference in the world

 

[chumbojumbo]

If only EM was more like FM in terms of competitiveness

I wish it were so my friend, i wish it were so

Yeah, I shadowed in my second year. It was tough, cause I was always looking over my shoulder at boards or the upcoming test and felt guilty

 

[chumbojumbo]

Hey, you didn't celebrate the new page! 😡

And since when is Taco Bell any good? 😕

 

[iatrosB]

Hey, you didn't celebrate the new page! 😡

And since when is Taco Bell any good? 😕

yeah he/she doesn't deserve the new page if they can't celebrate it 😡

 

[Hard24Get]

yeah he/she doesn't deserve the new page if they can't celebrate it 😡

It was so cavalier, like he/she didn't even notice.

 

[Hard24Get]

Hey, you had a me day.... I'm sorry. You'll be ok, though - unlike my EP, surgeons are pretty good about asking you the same questions you missed before. Know 'em next time and you'll be golden.

 

[Hard24Get]

They didn't yell at you, did they?

 

[Hard24Get]

Sigh...

Back to studying, then. I leave you with my latest sig, a snippet of one of my favorite movies. 😀

 

[EM2BE]

Quit studying for the night. Decided to quit so that I could study more productively tomorrow.

 

[EctopicFetus]

so ectopic, what's the verdict..."pass" in surgery OK?

Depends on the scale, if it the equivalent of "B" then yes. the overlap is minimal.

 

[EctopicFetus]

im back too?

 

[EctopicFetus]

Really, you're buff?

nah just fat

 

[EctopicFetus]

One of the things to do if the EP doesnt ask is simply go back and say "I was reading about c spine films and I dont understand how to interpret flex-ex films"

 

[EctopicFetus]

or something else you want more info on!

 

[EctopicFetus]

pretty good day of padding... now keep it up so we can **** this thing down by Aug31

 

[iatrosB]

They didn't yell at you, did they?

Nah, he was actually pretty cool considering I was such an idiot.

 

[iatrosB]

Sigh...

Back to studying, then. I leave you with my latest sig, a snippet of one of my favorite movies. 😀

greatest movie ever!

 

[EM2BE]

I actually feel rested this morning...heading to class though...feeling will probably change...

 

[chumbojumbo]

Hey, you didn't celebrate the new page! 😡

And since when is Taco Bell any good? 😕

I noticed, but I thought I might be "cool" about it...didnt expect a negative response, lol...should have though

and Taco Bell has never been good, but Im a new fan of the taco, since it kicks grilled cheese's ass.

Im off to the gym early this morning...first, I need some breakfast...its nice to work part-time...ahhhh

 

[chumbojumbo]

i dont even remember how to study

 

[chumbojumbo]

actually, i never really knew how to study...but now I just despise it

 

[chumbojumbo]

damn...im feelin that tbell right about now...i hate bubble guts

 

[chumbojumbo]

where is everybody?😕

 

[chumbojumbo]

Am I the only loser here?

 

[chumbojumbo]

I guess so

 

[chumbojumbo]

maybe I should volunteer some more

 

[chumbojumbo]

I am doing 20 hours a week of volunteer in a local ER...maybe i should pump it up to 25?

 

[chumbojumbo]

nah...then that would be working

 

[chumbojumbo]

woohoo...almost at 100 posts...big time now

 

[chumbojumbo]

I always thought that my 100th post should have some merit to it...oh well😀

 

[Hard24Get]

I always thought that my 100th post should have some merit to it...oh well😀

I spent my 1000th post discussing the merits of resuscitation science, I believe

 

[Hard24Get]

[Hard24Get]

One thing about EM is you realize anything can happen to anyone, anytime - for any reason!!!!
