AggieDave 6 #2 December 19, 2006 QuoteAnyone have any words of wisdom to keep my going? Eat a healthy meal and go to sleep! Your brain will function better, you'll feel better and you perform better. Also take 30 minutes to an hour to blow off on watching brain numb TV of some sort. It gives your mind a chance to reset and rest. You've been studying hard, you'll do great, but you have to give your body the tools it needs to perform at 100%--"When I die, may I be surrounded by scattered chrome and burning gasoline."

lawrocket 3 #6 December 19, 2006 Pediatricians generally don't get sued. Neither do non-interventional radiologists, so long as they put at the end of every report, "Clinical correlation of these findings is required." There. Encouraged? Q: How do you hide 100 bucks from a radiologist? A: Put it on a patient. Q: How do you hide 100 bucks from a surgeon? A: Put it in a chart. Q: How do you hide 100 bucks from an orthopedist? A: Put it in a book. Q: How do you hide 100 bucks from a proctologist? A: Q: How do you hide 100 bucks from a cosmetic surgeon? A: Can't be done. My wife is hotter than your wife.

wildcard451 0 #7 December 19, 2006 Hahahahaha....yeah All so true.... What is a definition of a double blind study? 2 orthopaedic surgeons reading an ekg. Words of encouragement. Well, in a few years you'll be sitting where I am right now. It doesn't seem like you'll get there, but you'll blink your eyes and holy shit, you're now in charge of an ICU overnight. Yup. All you. Fucking cool and fucking scary as hell all at the same time. Looking back you'll be glad you studied what met. acidosis with resp comp. looks like when you look at a blood gas, or what to do when someone comes in ain flash pulm edema and the ER staff looks at you to say "Hey, what do we do with this guy..." All in all the best part is, in a few years you'll get to look back and go...."Wow, I didn't know shit back then, how did I ever make it?" Much like jumping. Keep chuggin man. Sleep when you can. Jump when you can and keep yourself sane. Don't forget that you have a life outside of medical school. I think I am gonna stop rambling now and get back to the admit I have waiting for me. All in all you have to remember that you really do love this shit or you'll end up here for all the wrong reasons and be miserable. I'm not sure exactly if those were words of encouragement or not, but hell, whatever. Have FUN! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
hjumper33 0 #8 December 19, 2006 The best thing is that I want to be an ortho and all the ones that I work with love the jokes. How do you keep a secret from an ortho surgeon? Publish it. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
