LMU-DCOM Class of 2011

[lrobin15]

I was rather ticked they made us order them unseen. Are they men's, women's, or unisex? That really makes a difference on size. I sent the order in, but not until Sunday...I figured at the earliest it went out yesterday.

Yea... so if I forgot to place my order for the OMM tshirt and shorts by the 29th do you think it'd be too late to do it tomorrow? I mean they can't really say no if they're going to be pulling people off the waitlist, right? I can't BELIEVE I forgot to order them. I even RSVP'ed for the bbq...

I forgot to order mine too, I just remembered yesterday. I'm sure it will be fine. I hope it will be fine. At least you're not alone!

 

[froggiepremed]

Me too...and I am the one who put the order on SDN...

Nascar, I look forward to hearing your decision. We would love to see you at DCOM in a few weeks, but I understand that CCOM is a great school, and your ties to Chicago. Although it feels like we have our first transfer student, good luck. I am sure some waitlisters are crossing their fingers.

 

[DoctorMom78]

I didn't order the shorts either. It was a preorder, so I am assuming that I can get them in the book store. Well, that is my plan at least. LOL!

Anxiously awaiting Nascar's decision....

 

[nascardoc]

Hello everyone,

I have finally made my decision. It was tough, but I have decided to attend DCOM!!!!!!!! I just love the school, the people, the area, etc, and I feel that it is the best fit for me. I talked with Dr. Leo for a few minutes yesterday and I must say that man is amazing. He just gave me the reassurance I was looking for and I have felt nothing but calm and happy with my decision. There has just always been a part of me that said DCOM was just too good to pass up and I knew that within minutes of my interview there. A few weeks ago, I knew that I would go to DCOM regardless of what CCOM said, but when the call came, it just caught me off guard and sent my head spinning like crazy. I know that I have made the right choice and I can't wait to get to TN and start this crazy journey!!!

Thanks guys for all the support!

BTW, I forgot to order my shorts and shirt too

 

[MJB]

Awesome! Happy that you were able to come to a clear decision nascar! The last thing I would have wanted for you is to be torn!

If anyone is a fatty like me and has forgotten to order their shorts/shirts...I'll have an extra set as I ordered 2.

Glad you decided to stay with us Nascar!!

 

[EvilEye]

A bunch of slackers ... pathetic

If some of you think hard, you might remember me -- finally decided to come back for possibly only 1 post .. all depends.

Good to see Nascar will be here ... passed on CCOM eh?! Nice. As much as I'd like to scold you for that decision, I can't. I'm not sure what I would do if I had that opportunity, but then again, I didn't apply to the "top DO schools" because they're 1000 miles from me anyway. The only thing that nerves me are the 3rd/4th year rotations. While they may have it all set up and whatnot, I wonder if our role will be similar to other MS-IIIs who would rotate there as their own teaching hospital.

DocMom will always be MommyMcDonald -- I wonder how she affords all these animals. Someone's gonna be in huge debt

Does anyone know what needs to be brought for Orientation? Of course, besides ourselves. I wonder how much ripping off will be done when we have to purchase the toolkit and other instruments.

I bought all my books. Bigwords.com is the best.

Hopefully, there's no uniform scrubs. They're leeching out enough of our money as is.

God, there's gonna be more kids and pets than students.

Congrats Froggie on the kid. Yes, I know, I spite you -- I can tell, but then again, who doesnt hate me ...

Lastly, I've bought my t-shirt/short. I do want to see what they look like and size definitely is a concern. The way they sent that seemed fishy. It's not secure at all. So feel free to add me to the dwindling list of those who've bought them. According to the lady I spoke with, there had been many who did the order -- I guess SDN is just the lazy cohort group ...

Anyway, I'll wrap things up here. If y'all want me to come back and continue posting -- feel free to say so. I hadn't been surfing SDN till today (so much has been posted from what I've been reading today) -- and I'll probably continue to surf SDN (without posting) till the end of the week unless there are enough "supporters" -- then I'll think about staying/posting or totally abandoning this sad plight.

Enjoy the long post. See ya in a couple of weeks.

You better post, it's been boring without you. For your own sake though, you may want to keep your posting to this thread.

When will you be arriving in this area?

End of July, likely. Come in on the weekend and finish unloading/unpacking/organizing ... then comes the Orientation.

SDN has cleaned out just about every hated poster on here. No more PennyBridge from pre-allo (he got whacked), no DKM, no Northerner, etc. Looks like they got what they wanted, a boring and whiney group of pre-med students who want to know if they can get into an MD/DO school, nonetheless a top-tier specialty residency program, with a 0.9 GPA and a 12 MCAT because they went to Africa to save babies and discovered the cure for CA and have glowing LORs from Dr. Genius. Very nice, very entertaining

it is nice to see you back - it has been very boring here since the summer hit. Can't wait to see ya in TN.

Although I was expecting a more creative name...

Welcome back. We definitely missed you around here. Things have been quiet for the most part. We need someone to toughen up some of these premeds j/k. Looking forward to meeting you and everyone else.

I'm sure I'll leave some people scratching their heads over my decision but that is fine. The biggest thing that kept CCOM in the running for me was the rotations. They are amazing, no doubt about that. But DCOM just seems to have this special something about it and I felt it from Day 1. I think the rotations in TN will be just fine, and besides, we have elective rotations we can do anywhere. As I've always said, this school is going to be awesome and the LMU campus is only going to continue to thrive. I didn't realize that they are going to have a PA program at LMU. They added this about a month or so after my interview, so that is exciting. They will also have the new clinic and a new science building too. I can't wait to see what else happens.

 

[EvilEye]

Thanks for the compliment. Eh, I wasn't exactly going for a hidden persona on here. Not like I intend on staying for a long time on SDN (I only figurred I'd be on here for a week, we'll now make it a few more and then you'll no longer see me on here). Figurred with it being close to that time, I'd say hello. I'm glad to see the support for my return.

Nascar, I don't know too much about the Chicago schools nor its hospitals. Personally, I've heard good things about the TN hospitals, but I also hope that our role is as significant as other med students in their own teaching hospital.

Happy 4th to you all -- to those already in TN, don't get any funny ideas ... this leads me to my next thought -- shooting goats in the form of firecrackers ...

 

[lrobin15]

The main hospitals downtown (UT, Fort Sanders Regional, Children's) are all great hospitals. I have talked to many physicians who are excited about having students to teach. UT, of course, has lots of residents and students (who are doing electives, they mainly stay in Memphis). I think we will learn hands on and actually be able to do more than the future students because there will be less of us. I'm sure the other hospitals will be great too....though I'm not real impressed with St. Mary's downtown (serious staffing issues) and very, very, very old and outdated.

Children's is listed as a core hospital, is that even possible? Seems it would have to be just a rotation site. It is a fantastic hospital, unfortunately 3 of the 4 of my children have had at least one stay, but it is super nice and updated and always seems to be well staffed.

 

[EvilEye]

Sure, there's less of us. However, aren't there MS-IIIs from their own program who would go to the hospital? I suppose Memphis has its own teaching hospital.

I'm not up to par with the specifics of the individual hospitals, although St. Mary's website did look as tired as McD's attempt at making a joke -- still can't believe some of y'all fell for that one ...

I'd really like to atleast be a 2nd assist in the OR. I want to break the stereotype of DOs doing mainly Primary Care. It would be ironic if this class churned out more specialists than Primary Care physicians (Yes, out of 149, since we all know who's definitely going into Podunk FM) ...

So, are you staying put lrobin or are you all moving to another home closer to school?

 

[DoctorMom78]

Mommy McDonald...?!?! LMAO!!! Well, you will love this one then...

In the last two weeks, FORTY horses have been seized by officials for being near starvation. These were two groups of twenty horses each. People have been practically giving livestock away because of the drought and the skyrocketing cost of hay. They actually turned cattle away from the market because they were so overwhelmed with them. I think there are going to be a lot of hungry animals around here if we don't start getting some serious rain. Anyway, of the horses were taken in by a horse rescue in Knoxville and they are looking for foster homes for them while they await their court date. So, guess who is applying to become a foster home for a few of those horses....

You should all go to their website, click on available horses, and see the pictures. It is so sad. They have a horse on there that someone tied to the back of a truck and dragged along the road.

BTW, they are having a yard sale to benefit their organization and are accepting donations if anyone has any. I drove a bunch of stuff down there today....ALL THE WAY TO FARRAGUT!!! LOL! That was a long drive!

Anyway, here is their site: http://www.horsehavenoftn.com/index2.htm


As for the cost, "EVILEYE".... I spend money on my kids, my animals, and paying my bills and that is about it. If I want to blow my extra money on lame and starving horses, then there is nothing wrong with that. I know that the horses appreciate it.

As for the clothes, I didn't forget. LOL! I just assumed that I can get them in the bookstore....I hope.

I just got the email about "removing skin". LOL! Nascar, are you the one who loves dissections? Maybe you should hurry up and get down here. I HATE dissections, but if I had someone to watch the kids, I would probably do it just to make a little extra money to FEED MY HORSES.

 

[DoctorMom78]

(From an email from LIA) We just came back from our first ever conference called The Lyme-Autism Connection Conference. With about 200 attendees and 28 vendors, history was made when parents of children with Lyme disease and autism could be in a place where they were among many others with the same struggles.

New data linking Lyme disease and Autism

Corona, CA (PR Web) - News reports indicate a staggering number of Lyme disease cases going unreported. With autism rates rising each year, doctors are examining this new connection.
With new CDC numbers showing one of the largest populations of Lyme disease sufferers being boys from the age of 5-14, this rings of déjà vu to parents of children with autism. Young boys are the largest category of victims of autism as well as Lyme disease, which is caused by a bacteria called Borrelia Burgdorferi. Interestingly, the symptoms of chronic Lyme disease when affecting the central nervous system are literally the same symptoms as autism spectrum disorder.
The LIA Foundation will held its first conference in Irvine, CA in which new data was released supporting this connection. "It's time that parents and doctors start looking outside the box as to why these children are so sick", comments co-founder of the LIA Foundation, Tami Duncan. "At this conference, we have presenters who showed that this connection is real."
"The increasing incidence of autism spectrum disorder (560,000 in the US) is a serious threat to our children and in most cases the cause is still unknown. Some clinicians and parents have noted chronic infections, including tick-borne infections; including Lyme disease and the immune reactions to these infections are sometimes associated with autistic symptoms and autistic spectrum disorder. This meeting reviewed the data regarding this observation and possible explanations of this association with a goal to help reduce any preventable cases of autism spectrum disorder," states Robert Bransfield, M.D. of Red Bank, NJ.
Doctors are beginning to support this link. Dr. Joseph Burrascano, the former president of ILADS (International Lyme and Associated Disease Society) states his position on Lyme disease and Autism. "It is my contention that Autism is an inflammatory encephalitis cause by a pathogen such as Bartonella or Mycoplasma. I share the view that Bartonella is a major infection that may eclipse Borrelia Burgdorferi as the ultimate cause of the morbidity in chronic Lyme disease. Mycoplasma too is a major concern of mine- in reviewing my 7000+ cases, those patients who were relentlessly chronic, all at one point or another in their illness, were positive for Mycoplasma."
In fact, one speaker at the conference, Garth Nicholson of the Institute for Molecular Medicine has found that 58% of children with Autism spectrum disorder are also harboring multiple-infections, specifically Mycoplasma. "Since these chronic infections like Borrelia, Mycoplasma and Bartonella are known to suppress the immune system, it is not a stretch to assume that when the child was injected with obscene amounts of mercury, that his fate of having an autism diagnosis, would become reality", Duncan states.
Proof is on the way, with the data released at the Lyme-Autism Connection Conference and studies in progress, parents and doctors can be sure to hear more about this in the coming months.

Conference DVD's and Syllabus Available

We were excited to have Zen Works Productions video the entire conference. They are now available for purchase online. Please go to: http://www.zenworksproductions.com/store_li07.html for details. The physician's training session is also available for purchase online. We also are offering the syllabus from the conference which consists of over 100 pages of articles, presentation handouts and more. Please click Conference Syllabus to purchase for $10 each.


Thank your for your support. We want your opinion, go to our homepage and take the poll to help us decide where to hold the next Lyme-Autism Connection Conference. We also appreciate any donations big or small.

 

[Spineman]

I have to add my name to the slacker list. Haven't ordered the shorts/shirt yet either. Congrats on the decision to stay with us brutha. Glad to see we're in the same boat. I'll catch you guys in a couple of weeks.

Yeah, you're one rich cat. Quit claiming bankruptcy and eating away at our Social Security -- which I'll never see when I'm ... 65, if I even make it that far

So, are you staying put lrobin or are you all moving to another home closer to school?

UT's med students pretty much stay in Memphis and there are no other programs nearby so it will mainly just be us. There are tons of nursing students on the other hand (for you single males). I think there are something like 6 or 7 nursing programs that run through the Knoxville hospitals.

As for St. Mary's, it does have it's new branch (St. Mary's North) off Emory rd which is beautiful.

We decided to stay in our current home. I do not look forward to the commute, but it made the kids and my husband very happy. They kids get to stay at Concord Christian (except for Katie who homeschools b/c she is at the gym 4 hrs a day) and Katie is close to her gym and coach. If I am really suffering, then we will move next summer...sooner if needed. I think it will be okay though.

BTW, they are having a yard sale to benefit their organization and are accepting donations if anyone has any. I drove a bunch of stuff down there today....ALL THE WAY TO FARRAGUT!!! LOL! That was a long drive!

Speaking of staying put...HELLO, I LIVE in Farragut!! I wish I knew you were headed this way today, we could of got together. Oh well....

LMAO!!! I thought you might have said you lived there. I knew someone said that they did. EEK!!! That is a LONG drive!!!! The place I went to was off of Campbell Station Rd. It is going to take you at least an hour and half to get to DCOM I think. Have you driven up there lately? I don't have AC in my car and I had the two babies with me, so we were all hot and sweaty by the time we got down there anyway. But, maybe some other time we can get together. I hate going to Knoxville! I was so happy when I got back through Lafollette and back to my beautiful countryside. LOL!

Ironically I was just shopping online for my back brace, so that won't be an issue anymore.

And none of them are sick....some are just a bit lame, but otherwise fat and healthy.

Yep, I've driven it and it takes right at 90 mins. I live a little West of Campbell Station rd, but that is my exit. I believe you turned right off the exit and you would turn left to go towards my house.

My plans for the drives are listening to lectures again.

Yep, check the previous convo -- your kiddie talk's been covered

I know, I just wanted to throw it in there again .....

WOW! Long drive. I know Mr. Carney commutes from Knoxville everyday and my husband has been working in Knoxville and has about an hour commute everyday. So, it is definitely possible. He just traded his Dodge Durango in for a Sebring. The cost of gas was killing us! That is the only thing that I can say about the drive. Make sure you have a car that is good on gas!

 

[DoctorMom78]

Oh, and EvilEye....less money on gas= more money for horses. MUAHAHAHA!!!!!

Yeah, unfortunately for my husband I will have to drive the Town & Country and he will have to drive the Expedition. The T&C makes school pick up easier and has a DVD player so it keeps the little one occupied while sitting in the pick up line. But he will have to make do though b/c the expd drinks gas.

You're right DocMom, I was all over that email about the cadavers I called Dr. Cross to let him know I was interested, so I am going to be part of the team It is a lot of fun and I am looking forward to the dissections. Nothing like splitting a pelvis, taking out a spinal cord, or removing a skull cap and then brain Those striker saws are so cool, but sometimes you just need a little extra persuasion, i.e. hammer and chisel. That was one of the more interesting purchases I ever made at Sears, a chisel set for the cadaver lab

It's nice seeing Inv...I mean EvilEye back. Nothing but laughter...although I'm not sure how long he will be able to resist those "what are my dubious chances" questions. He may have to hijack his own thread

DVD players in cars were a brilliant invention! LOL! We invested in a set of those over the back seat ones from Walmart. We bought them before we drove down to look for a house in February. They are wonderful! You could always get a cheap one of those for the other car.

So, you had to call Dr. Cross? I sent email replies to Dr. Cross and got no replies.

Yeah, I'm pretty busy enough to somewhat resisting those threads ... I checked it out though, I see Nate copied my thread and had my rendered worthless, might be time to pop it back out from the bottomless pit of SDN hell.

DocMom now an advisor??

Damn, seems like a new service. Pay to be an advisor. Seems to be profitable and now truly diluting the value of being an advisor. This is hilarious. It seems like almost half of SDN are advisors, most of which are those whiny pre-meds ...

Don't hate. I have been a donor since a few weeks after I joined SDN and just now became an advisor. There is no correlation between the two. I have always supported SDN and now I can to play an even greater role.

Except that every whiny and/or suck up member who has donated is now an advisor. Reminds me of a status-mill ... quite a diluted status I say. Enjoy being the mods/admins' personal bitch ..

Oh, what role have you played as an advisor lately? I'd love to see you create a "How to manage farm animals" thread ...

Nascar, let me know on this. Thanks.
