now off to shower and study
 
Hulo, anybody out there? 🙂
 
I'm just hangin' out, cooking dinner and procrastinating on my ERAS
 
Tomorrow's my last shift of my home sub-I. I hope I can leave a good impression :luck:
 
I think I realized I like EM too early, all the anticipation has resulted in me being a nervous nelly 😛

You think you are nervous...by hearing about some people's un-luckiness with the match last year and knowing I have boards this year...I am quite nervous, and I still have pretty much 2 years before I APPLY.
 
I just ate dinner (yes, I am aware of the time) and am going to watch a movie before / while I go to sleep.
 
pulled a 36 hour day yesterday/and day before
 
I heard it really doesn't apply to residents either. My brother is a paramedic and heard an attending calling a resident in saying "we have an 8-person trauma coming in. I'll let you scrub in if you don't clock in" Not a good one to have going on either.
 
been too quiet in here today. why is everyone too busy to pad?
 
or is it that the name of the forum has a direct relationship with its success?
 
taking an hour study break. studied about 7 or so hours so far today.

😱

If I did that, my brain would be more than fried!

I think it should be a study stop and not a "break"

So it ended up being for more than an hour. It was nice though...got out of here for a little bit. I think I might cover one more lecture, then I'll stop for the night.
 
phone calls with the SO can be longer than expected sometimes

You sound like an addict..."one more lecture and I'll quit" :laugh:

So you're saying you smelled bad?
Ewwwww
You sound like the girl in Major Care 56 this morning.

Didn't smell bad...showered the night before...plus was going to anat lab...no point in showering unless you really smell bad

Hopefully I will never be in the position of smelling as bad as those patients.
 
that reminds me, do you all think there is a very distinct odor to open brain matter that you could smell from afar? I certainly do and can, but didn't know if others were that way. After my sister had brain surgery, we smelled that odor for years. Still smell it if it is hot out and she sweats a lot (like on a day to the zoo or something..and no, it's not the zoo odor)
 
See the way my ADD works...one word can spark a random thought...makes sense in my head, but not to others.
 
Medical ICU Q3 call... what joy.


I did get to do a totally unsupervised resuscitation on a rather critical patient.

I intubated them, placed a femoral line, then a radial art line....got the levophed running...

All while my senior was dealing with another patient. I did run over and give him a heads up and got his permission to go ahead with everything; he was cool with it all. I am actually learning something 😀
 
Superbad is a great and hilarious movie!
 
I think I am going to take a personal day / half a day to clean and cook. Laundry has been clean, just never took the time to put it away. Then I'll study a "few" lectures...because I am an addict.
 
im out for a couple of days to drink a few beers and this is the treatment i get?
 
lets hope that little stint doesnt cost you a few points on your upcoming neuro exam
 
its all good...im back on track and page 5 is in sight
 
anyways...whats going on peeps
 
havent drank like last night since college
 
but still got up pretty early, and Im off until tuesday
 
come on peeps its a sunday, what are you all doing?
 
ahhhh.....church? barbecue? hangover? studying? (EM2BE SHOULD be doing this)
 
doesnt matter...Im actually glad
