Hey everybody! How's your break going? What are you all up to?......Sorry Des, I HAD to mock you. It has been about a week since I have properly harrassed you and I am going into withdrawals. Hey, I got a new car. Yep, I traded my Jetta in on a Chevy Trailblazer. I gotta have something to pull the WaveRunner, don't I? 🙂 Oh yeah, it is on like Donkey Kong now. About a week and i'll be tearing it up in the Gulf. Yeah, I did it. JEALOUS???
 
Hey all,
I thought that there might be some KCUMB-COM students using this forum while on the road 3rd and 4th year. Seems like almost everyone is at least happy to have their COMLEX scores, good, bad or indifferent.
Hugh, take care on that ride to OHIO. Don't veer into oncoming traffic!

BANISHED?!?! What up, Hugh?? Come on, it won't be that bad! I want you guys to come up in September, OK? Did you move yet? How is it? We move into our new place tomorrow.

I'm so freaking bored. However, I know I should enjoy the time off, since we really won't have this kind of time off again. 🙁

Hi James...I'll be sure to post my experiences if you will! Good luck!
 
james, yeah i made it to ohio in one piece. it sucked driving a 24 ft uhaul almost 900 miles, but i didnt hit anything but a wooden fence backing out of my drive way to return the truck. anyway i am planning to enjoy my time here in mississippi while i can. ohio doesnt seem that bad but it is going to take some getting used to. just interested...........does anyone know what our pass rate for the comlex was? take it easy everyone.
 
I spoke to some faculty at school today and we had 12 students fail out of the 222. I also heard that one of our faculty went to the meetings on scoring this year and they made the tests harder than in the past. Therefore, our pass rate was not as strong as the class before us, but relative to everyone else in the country we did about the same.

Glad to hear you made it over there to OH alright. Enjoy the Delta and keep in touch.
 
JAMESY!! Let's go eat pho. I want some spring rolls, too.
Bama, way to call me and talk smack...but oh, what is that I hear? ODB sold my Netter's cards to a smart customer who bought mine over yours? Hmmm. No comment necessary, I know your JEALOUS! And my one leg can go ALL NIGHT LONG.
Hugh, did you ever buy the puppy?
I'm busy being the "filer" at the neuro center I've worked at before. It's not great fun, but I'm getting paid for $$ to move, so that helps. No break for me, though which sucks.

Miss you all and talk to you soon!
DES🙂
 
ODB is back in the HOUSE!!!!! Des and MJ, I have a potential book suitor looking at some books at 1:00. James, how 'bout them Cards-10.5 games up on the Cubs and Larry Walker! I guess you have next year....and the next year....and the next year etc. Keep us posted on how rotations go.

What up y'all.........
Hope all is well. Went up to Nebraska this weekend, hangin out with my kiddos and brother. Had a lot of fun.
I start my two week Family Practice rotation a week from tomorrow, so definitely looking forward to that. Already done a Burtch procedure and a Hysterectomy.
During the hyster, the woman had adhesions. After the doc freed them up, he had me put my whole hand inside this woman's abdomen!!! I was sweeping her omentum with my palm and I felt her liver with the back of my hand! Very cool!!! Also got to sew up the fascia layer in both cases. So been fun so far.

Well better get to bed! Later

OK, who were the toolboxes that got "HONORS" in medical decision making?! 🙄

Anyone else here forgetting that they actually attend med school?

Hey, I don't appreciate being called a toolbox! J/k, I wasn't even close to making honors, but I bet I can name one of the four....paging Student Doctor Stearns, Student Doctor Stearns to the SDN STAT.....

Hey Des, I guess I had the last laugh since the ODB sold my flashcards for $35. Booyah, in yo' face! That's what happens when you try and undersell me. I'm like The Donald, I'm starting an Empire. Buhhhaha....
 
I was wondering if anyone on SDN ever has seen/ used Slice of Life Year 2, which is on a CD?

I was wondering if anyone on SDN ever has seen/ used Slice of Life Year 2, which is on a CD, not the laser disc version, but a version where someone creative made jpegs of all the slides on ERF's notes or used a digital camera to take those pictures. I was given Slice of Life Year one by my big brother, but I'm just curious if there is a SOL Yr 2? If its out there, can I pay someone to burn it /or I have old morning reports to trade from my preceptorship over the summer in IM from MCI?
Click to expand...

Supposedly, the folks at University of Utah came out with a new version of SOL this past year. I don't know if that is what you are talking about. Personally, I find SOL pretty low yield. I have used it many times, but I feel that WebPath and a really good Histopath atlas are all that you really need to do well on Erf's tests. Contrary to popular belief his pics are of pretty basic stuff. Now his bonus questions are a different story.
 
Wo1verine7DO said:
Also, forgot to ask, what are all those neuro videos for from Dr. Stephens? We started today and got our notes, but are they required to watch or optional?
Click to expand...

Good question.

My head was up my a$$ the first four weeks of neuro and neuroanatomy flew right over my head. The videos came in handy to rescue me before the practical. They were not required at the time. Good luck :luck: and enjoy the ride. Also, I heard that Dr. Stephens is the proud owner of a nice new vehicle. Does anyone have any details?

Thanks James! How's it going??
 
Hey Mary,
Doin' ok. Finished the first week of neuro - 9 more weeks to go. It isn't so bad yet...just alot of anatomy. It's wierd not seeing all of you guys in Richie anymore. Who are these kids???
 
I dont' know if I could stand being in that room with a bunch of strangers. But you only have to do it thru december, right? Are you still sitting in the same seat? Is 2007 a lot different that us?

I got my first rotation info; it's family medicine in a suburb that will be about a 1/2 hour drive. I'm excited!

Hey,
Guess who decided to move to Fort Myers on the exact same weekend that the first Category 3 hurricane has hit Fort Myers in 60 years? That's right, ME! I was supposed to move in today, but of course everything is locked down. I am not even sure if I can move in tomorrow since there will be massive power outages and storm surge up to 12 feet. For all I know my apartment might be floating in the Atlantic by 7 P.M. tonight. I usually like hurricanes, but this one is pissing me off! Damn you Charley!!!!!!
 
Wow dude....you picked a great weekend to move. OOps forgot about the hurricane factor, huh?

I hope your apt complex survives, after all I need a place to stay when I visit!!!
 
DEWD.... so like, how are you connected to the net?? 😕

hehe anyways, you like water right? 😀

Because I am still in Alabama. I'm not moving until next Friday now. Maybe they will have it cleaned up by then and fish my apartment out of the Gulf.

Hey Bama,
Sucks to hear that you're not able to move in to Ft. Myers. If it helps, I'll do my patented curse. I'm not too sure if it actually works, but at least its cathartic: DANG YOU, CHARLEY!!! DANG YOU!!! (with both fists pumping in the air) :meanie: :meanie: :meanie: Hope it helps. Keep all of us posted, and stay safe.

Oh, is anybody else from our class actually down there yet???

Hey Mary,
Yeah, it's really wierd. No, I'm not in the same seat. Actually, I think I've taken your seat! But I'm only there till December. I've heard that most of first semester is really just neuro, so in reality its only feels like nine more weeks. The longest part of neuro is the first five weeks with all the dissections, so if you really want to think about it, it's feels like five weeks. And the hardest part of dissection is the brain, which is two weeks from now. So, if I hang tight, the semester should really feel like it's two or three weeks long...ok, who am I kidding 🙁 It really stinks without you guys here. Ok, enough with the venting. I'm still getting to know 2007. They seem pretty nice.

Good luck with your family practice rotation! I know you'll do well out there!! :luck:

James,
That really sounded like an episode of Seinfeld, my brother. Yeah, i think Erica and Brent are supposed to be down there. Maybe I should call them, huh?
 
Well the official Pan-Asian of 2006 is back to school!!!!
Hey bro what's up?? Glad to see you are back in the saddle full swing. And I am sure you will be ready to get out of the saddle too eh?? Well Clyde is boring. Been trying to run everyday, and that is about it. I will be starting at my old hospital on Tuesday to do a two week rotation so I am getting geared up for that. I feel like I should be reading something right now instead of this computer screen. I think I forgot a lot of the stuff I studied a few months ago. Anyway, good luck and remember that stuff I gave you....it should come in handy!

Well hope everyone else is doing well.

Bama, sorry to hear about the hurricane dude. That royally sucks!

Peace out!

Chris

Yeah, that was from Seinfeld. I knew that you'd be the one that would catch that. But, yeah, let us know what's going on down there. And for Chris, my "brother who could practically be Asian because of his mad software pirating skillz" thank you for the hook ups. Don't feel guilty web surfing. Just relax and enjoy the time with your family. Laterz!

The ODB is back in the house!!!! JP, how 'bout them Cubs? Only 13.5 games behind the BEST team in baseball-the Cardinals. How's neuro? Think of it this way only nine more weeks. I'll probably see you tomorrow because I've got some books to scam... I mean sell. I agree with Mary...Go Indians!!!(It doesn't matter who comes out of the AL because they'll get smoked by the Cards in the Series but at least the Indians are a fun bunch to watch.) Calling Doctordes... Doctordes are you out there?

You're just saying that! The Tribe has been known to surprise. And if I recall correctly, the AL beat the NL in the all star game. So therefore, don't be all sayin that the cards are going to beat up on the tribe. Watch out, Disco!!!
 
What up y'all
How has the break been? I started my two week Family Med Pre-rotation this week. Been doing quite a bit. Yesterday, put in a central line, drained a sebaceous cyst, and been helping in surgery all week, being first assist. Done a few colonoscopies solo, with the doc standing by. Pretty cool stuff. The clinic has been pretty cool as well.

Anyway, good luck to all on your first rotation. I know I am getting pretty nervous. Gonna try to read the pertinent info in Mosby's this week and maybe a little pathophys.

Later guys!

You're a gunner.
 
I know I haven't posted much at all, but I had to take this opportunity to agree with Mary. Chris you are such a gunner. Before we know it you're going to be graduating the year ahead of us instead of after. They'll give you an honorary degree and you won't have to do a residency because, heck you already learned everything in your prerotation.

Keep up the hard work though.
 
Chris isn't a gunner...he's a sniper and he's deadly from 500 meters. Don't mess.
And ODB, the only twinkie here is ME (yellow on the outside, and white on the inside)!!! Get that straight, bro

Oops, sorry :meanie: My brain's just a little fried from studying neuro.
Hey, isn't there an understood rule that one can make fun of their own race. I mean, just look at Harold and Kumar goes to White Castle... :idea:

You're right. Carry on.
 
I appreciate the gunner comment. However, I am just taking advantage of my opportunity. It has been a blast though. Today had a lap chole, extracting a gallstone the size of an egg, no sh#@. Then did a breast biopsy and then another central line; however this one was very very tough and took like 45 minutes.

Hang in there JP. I enjoyed the twinkie analogy. I laughed out loud in the library and got a dirty look from the librarian. No humor in the Clyde library I tell ya.

Anyway, next week is the big one!!! Have fun!

Obecalp,
Don't be worrying about Tavarez... you know it's a NL conspiracy against the Cards. The ODB has been bored out of his gourd in CT. So you'll either find me in CT 503 twindling my thumbs or you'll find me in CT fast asleep. And leave poor Mary out of this, she has enough on her mind with keeping the Cleveland KCUMB contingent in line. the bigger question... Where's doctordes?

Stalking Des?! Obecalp, you know better than that. Would the ODB be stalking one Doctordes? On the contrary, I am concerned about her well being especially since I sent her some loot from her book sales.
