Thanks for the web site! I can't believe I'm up so late trying to learn about the thorax...
Wishing luck to all the MS2s today.![]()
Best part of medical school: Being able to drink before noon and not feel bad about it.
You better not post one of those "That wasn't so bad" comments Dr. Bagel 😉 Just kidding, post whatever you want.
I've got to say I'm glad I'm not you guys. I remember how nervous I was before the first test block, and it wasn't fun. Test blocks always suck, but at least once you get through the first one, you know how it's going to go.
IHI is going to be a lot of work. i started to figure that out yesterday.😀
And grading your test after having a few drinks takes the edge off. 🙂
And you have a new cat pic!
So, what did you guys think of our practice test?

I also appreciate the fact that the fourth years took the time to put all of that together for us. I honestly expect the actual test to be much more difficult, though, for some reason.
It did make me feel more confident about the real practical, but that won't keep me from continuing to study for it anyway (and especially studying for the written). I'm sure everything O'Don tags will be things that he thinks are obvious but aren't to us.
Regarding biochem, how do the difficulty of Leon's questions compare to the WUME?
Yeah, I thought it was a lot easier until I graded it...however, I passed, which 24 hrs. ago was under question...in fact, IHI is the FIRST class I've resorted to the break out the calculator and figure out how bad I can do and still pass method of studying, BEFORE I've taken a single test...
What I did, although I don't know if the non-tumor intensive sections will be conducive to it, was make a big bubble chart (think Inspiration from biochem 🙄 ) with all the maladies of the male parts, for example. Then one of my bubbles was always "complaints" or "presentation" and often in a format where it was the "classic" person. Had I done this earlier, I think I would've done much better. I didn't really get out of my "where do I start" funk until too late.
heh, athletic tumor...BP is a ****ing idiot. I'm torn between wanting success for the program (now that I'm an alum, got my diploma 😎 ) and wanting to see it go down in fiery spiral, Gundy get fired, and Boone expire before they win another game, just outta spite for them raising ticket prices to see a team that hasn't proven JACK ****ING SQUAT but that they can't be trusted to SHOW THE **** UP and PLAY. Oh, and ****ing people outta their houses sux ballz. 👎 It's just a house, but I think they'd prolly pull my dead body out of it before I let 'em HAVE IT, which is essentially what they did for the FAIR market value...
Bobby Reid for Heisman 👍
I was expecting a questionable comment regarding Bagel's new cheapness and juiciness...
If the subclavian is Main, axillary Boomer, and brachial Washington, does that make the university the heart and Wal-Mart the brain of Stillwater? I guess some Stillwater homes were recently forced into apoptosis to make room for a large athletic tumor. I think they've had to re-route some of of the arteries to allow angiogenesis for the new mass. The last time I was there, I had to take all sorts of odd anastomoses 🙄
So have any of you MS1s gotten your PCM clinical assignment yet? I haven't but was wondering if anyone else had?
It seems to me that getting our assignment during test block is a little goofy.

Jwax,
Who's the new avatar?
Today also marks the day of decreased screwing around instead of studying, so I'll go away now.
I used to watch La Femme Nikita, too. Jwax and I have all the same taste in TV except I never watched Alias. 🙂
So my intened 2 or 3 hours of embryo today has pretty much turned into mostly embryo all day because I just plain suck at it. I am about to take the SAME embryo Qbank for the ~4th time. Let's see if I can actually get most of them right for once? I keep missing the same f***ing things again and again. I just can't grasp the concepts of this becomes this and this turns into that in embryo. I can grasp which nerves split into what nerves in GA, but I can't get it for the developing human. I think passing embryo is really all I can hope for. 👎 I abhor this class.
Which set are you having trouble with? I haven't done any, but if I have trouble on that same section at least I will know I am not alone.
Yikes. Well, I ended up leaving the mod and going home to move on to anatomy and embryo. I actually like embryo, so if you need any help, just send me a message. Broyles' lack of words also annoys me, but at least his material flows coherently, unlike Hanas'. I still don't get his stuff. And he's creepy. That has nothing to do with anything, but I feel like rambling.
Aww, that's sad...My mod hates embryo, so you're definitely not alone...I thought that I was in the minority when it came to embryo.The other thing that really annoys me about embryo is that I seem to be the only person in the world who doesn't get it. Most people even like it. That makes it so much worse... I actually got teary-eyed earlier today when I was taking that qbank for the third time and still getting ~1/2 of it wrong. Lol - my SO asked me what's wrong and I started yelling... poor guy. I will probably end up studying at school Monday evening so I can get help from any of the 150 other students who don't have a problem w/embryo.

Best profs so far: Bidichandani, Tomasek, McNeill, O'Don. Worst for me: Broyles, Hanas, J. Allen...
P.S. I had no idea Hanas was a liberal.
By the way, did anyone else get coracoid process for the acromion?
How do you know?

Best of luck tomorrow, everyone!!!! I'm off to bed for my last night of good sleep until Thursday. By the way, did anyone else get coracoid process for the acromion? Talked to O'Don about the ambiguity of the tagging, and he said that most everything "should" be clearly tagged. But then I guess that depends on your level of knowledge.
😎
He's a good liberal...
I didn't know there was such a thing as a good liberal...
Just kidding, put away the flame thrower.
I'm more of a centralist myself. It's often hard to pin me to one group or another. Liberals see me as conservative, and conservatives see me as liberal, and I like it that way. 😎
I personally don't care what our professors sociopolitical views are as long as they don't try to teach them with the material. Basic science is just that: basic science.
I had my first, "I should have gone into ______" thought a few minutes ago. 😳
Hah! I had those thoughts beginning in junior year of college after going through purgatory and back from a research lab.
Oh yeah, before I forget...Many thanks for your drug chart and for the thorough TBL notegroup. I was going to give up on notegroups in disgust, but then I saw that you wrote it and knew that it'd be in proper, coherent English.
Just came across a section from broyles that I hadn't heard of at all (D-53 - 58). WTF? Where did that come from? I imagine that would be the lecture I skipped that I haven't read notes for yet... Confusing much? 👎
Hmm. It's ok. He pretty much read off the slides for those. I think that the CHiP binding is important though. I believe that the notegroups person for that day did a decent job.
I'm pretty much interested in just re-learning what I know now. It's amazing how well I could know B's / Leon's stuff for the mini and how little I know of it now. How does that happen? It was like 2 weeks ago? 😕
Agreed. 🙁 It's pretty depressing. I'm still on Hanas' stuff. UGH.
Sorry, by complimenting you on your drug chart, I pretty much gave a good indicator of who you are in real life. We've met but we haven't talked much in person.
