Coming out of the closet!

[Clair de Lune]

I'm an MSIII that has finally decided (after months of deliberating on the wards) that I am doing path. I love pathology and I've really liked every pathologist I've ever met. I've been reading these boards for a long time without ever posting, so I just wanted to introduce myself. I am really excited about being almost finished with this third-year nonsense, especially after hearing all the great stories and advice all of you have given. Anyway, I just wanted to say thanks to all of you for helping me get through this year and know that there really is a light at the end of the tunnel. I'm sure I'll have lots of questions as I go through my 4th year and the match process, so I hope ya'll don't get annoyed with me! Thanks again & it's really nice to finally meet all of you.

Hi Clair!! Welcome! I will be applying for path this next year as well, so maybe we will meet up on the interview trail!

 

[yaah]

I thought you had posted before though.

You're lucky. I haven't liked every pathologist I've ever met!

 

[b&ierstiefel]

Welcome to our wacky world.

Congrats for being almost done with M3 year.

 

[beary]

I thought you had posted before though.

details, details....

 

[b&ierstiefel]

Um yeah...Clair has like 50+ posts. Duh. Gosh!

details, details

Um yeah...it's like click on View Previous Posts. Duh. Gosh!

 

[Clair de Lune]

ya'll are great!

7 weeks of surgery left, then I'm done with MS3! Thank God! I'm just going to keep showing up on time and keep my mouth shut as much as possible & hope the rest of this rotation goes by quickly.

Oh, I meant this was the first time I posted on pathology, I think. I don't know, maybe I did before but it must have been a long time ago. Whatever, I think being on surgery is making me crazy

Exactly!
Just show up on time.
Smile. Nod.
Read the board quickly without hesitation. Don't be like: T is 100.9, wow that's kinda high I wonder what is going on, BP is 94/78 oh my god should we do something about this....
Next, retract and cut sutures well.
Knot tying skillz...optional.

 

[yaah]

Remember this sentence: "May I get that for you?"

 

[b&ierstiefel]

And also, "Thank you sir, may I please have another?"

 

[yaah]

"Yes! I'd be happy to!"

 

[beary]

Med school sucks. I should count out how many weeks of rotations I have left. Probably about 50. Ugh.

 

[b&ierstiefel]

"Yes! I'd be happy to!"

and of course, there's yaah's favorite:

"and would you like a handjob with that, sir?"

ok ok, that was a bit too much. carry on.

 

[Clair de Lune]

Yes, surgery definitely stinks. I hate how we're expected to suck up & all of our actions for every second of the day have to be accounted for. The other day I actually had to ask if it was OK if I went to the bathroom! 7 more weeks...I really hope I can get through this without becoming bitter/depressed!!

I thought medicine was worse though. At least you're done with that piece of dung rotation

motivation for what? having to up the dose of metamucil from QD from BID?

 

[bananaface]

motivation for what? having to up the dose of metamucil from QD from BID?

That's not an upped dose. That's a dosing regimen with increased dosing frequency.

I'll let you slide if you claimed you meant to say "daily dose".

 

[b&ierstiefel]

oh shut up.

 

[bananaface]

oh shut up.

Be nice to me. I know how to compound urethral suppositories.

holy moley.......

I pity the poor sods of doctors who send you the prescriptions!

Well i pity any doctor for that matter.....

Thankfully it is still cool runnings at the rear end.....

I meant the beer belly and the grey hair

 

[deschutes]

You aren't the one administering it though

Ok. I'll compound it. You administer it. Either way he won't mess with us anymore.

Don't make me correct you too! I can!

 

[quant]

Don't make me correct you too! I can!

I m sure you can ..... you sound very good at the stuff you do banana....

except that i m least interested in writing prescriptions!!!

Ha.....i wont be caught by you!

 

[beary]

yet ANOTHER advantage of pathology - we don't have to send prescriptions to banana!

 

[yaah]

I thought a suppository was by definition limited to the rectum or possibly the vagina?

 

[b&ierstiefel]

whatever hemorrhoid boy.

hehe I can catch you in other things. They don't have to be Rx related.

 

[bananaface]

Oh, no way. They go lots of places.

 

[yaah]

I know they can go lots of places! I just didn't think it was technically called a suppository. Oh well, I am pwned.

Welcome, Clair de Lune! Your third year will be over soon enough; I still have 4 weeks of psych AND 6 glorious weeks of OB/GYN left to suffer through.

Will it make you feel better if I say stupid things about pathology and let you pwn me? I can play switch.

 

[yaah]

That would make me feel better. Say something like "S100 can differentiate between metastatic melanoma and a sarcoma."

 

[b&ierstiefel]

That would make me feel better. Say something like "S100 can differentiate between metastatic melanoma and a sarcoma."

or you can say "S100 can suck on mah balls!"

Run away! RUN AWAYYYYYYY!

Run away! RUN AWAYYYYYYY!

Have i been that harsh on you today????

 

[bananaface]

That would make me feel better. Say something like "S100 can differentiate between metastatic melanoma and a sarcoma."

Please explain the phisiological reason for GI tract irritation following the ingestion of spicy food without saying "pacman". I'm so clueless. *flutters eyelashes*

How is that?

 

[b&ierstiefel]
