I forgot, did they tell us in advance that we were all going to be as naked as the cadavers on the first day of anatomy lab to help us understand what our patients go through?Nude? It doesn't get any more scantil than that.

Despite the fact that I may be the only member of the class of 2011 that regularly reads this thread, I do appreciate the upperclassmen who post messages here to keep this thread on the first search page.
Anyway, this intimate meeting intrigues me. Suddenly my anxiety about starting class has dissipated. Please dress as scantily as possible.
Ashers-
Could you tell me when the orientation tours are again? I want to help out, but the email when times was lost in the great hard drive crash of 2007.
Crud.
Based on the track record thus far, we'll still be rounding then.
Four-plus hours of rounds is just another reason why I don't want to do internal medicine.]
EDIT: That and the fact that I have to write notes that are >6 lines long.

only if you've got jugs. you know, Katie did comment that every time she happened to be changing, Wagz would walk by.They didn't tell us that the onlyl sure-fire way to get Dr. Wagner or Dr. Bolender to walk by the lockers was to take off your pants either.
So, as I'm looking at our fall schedule I am not seeing a lot of blank spaces. Please tell me that I don't have to attend all of that nonsense!

edit: what are the rules on taking showers during electrical storms?
Have fun!
done and done.
Professional clothes... dress pants and button down shirts are the way to go, probably.
And on another note, how come I didn't get an email about touring orientees? Boo hiss! I don't love you people either.
Oh, no, the gauntlet of no love has already been thrown.
Wait a minute...I got no love either! We all know ninjas can give tours whether they have been officially "trained" or not. And to think, everyone could have had a chance to finally find out what Raplan's special prize is!!! To shame!
Disclaimer: Silly guys, Raplan's special prize is still only for the ladies!
No one responded to me asking if people wanted to know about it a long time ago. I just knew Don had said he wanted to do it again this year if he could.
Fine, once again. Let me know on here if you haven't gotten the email from me Re: tours, and you want it. Funk, I'm emailing you now.
Humph. I might as well just go to work.
Ok. You regularly read them. Now it's time to step up and regularly post in them.
I'M HEEEERE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! i even have internet now already!!!
time for some SERIOUS shopping for condo stuff AND clothes stuff for sure!!!! what kind of clothes are good for when we have to go to shadow doctors and practice things? (for girls i mean...duh!)
Whoa whoa whoa! The Funkster just meant that as a joke--no offense was taken on my part on the whole deal. I doubt I could get out of my rotation long enough to participate anyways.
C'mon Ash...you know we love ya. Don't go to work mad, it's bad enough that it's neuro this month.
I got St. Mary's for OB/gyn, and I start on gyn.
I love getting out of work at 1:00. Neuro consults has been awesome so far. Our new resident is awesome, and she says that the new attending we'll be getting this week is great as well.
Got St. Joe's for Ob/Gyn. Starting on OB, but we switch every week, I guess. My group is all dudes.
Supposedly (according to the 4th year on consults right now) there is one OB/Gyn resident that's so malignant we should just quit medicine now if we get assigned to her. I think her name was Dugan...Dugal? Something like that. Any experience with her, Xandie or Don? You can PM me if you don't want it out in public.
Edit: I think it was Dunbar he mentioned, now that I've looked at the list of OB residents.
I did clinic with her once...she seemed nice. She isnt at Joes now but im also not sure when they switch. Holla if ya wanna know more about joes...1 more week!!!
Holla. Any advice? Stuff to study up on, attendings to watch out for, hints for interacting with patients/nurses, etc?
ps...I will also be interviewing.
I was complaining to complain.
Neuro >>>>>> psych. I don't dread going to work every day, even if I have to get up earlier, be at the hospital way earlier and stay later, and take call (sometimes). The only part about psych I liked was the staff, not the patients so much. I also get to do procedures in neuro. I tried an art line yesterday, but my phleb skills got the better of me, and I went too shallow for the artery. Now I know... radial artery, stick deeper.
I got St. Mary's for OB/gyn, and I start on gyn.
That's easy. Remember: always say "En garde! I'm about to enter!"
Nurses also like cookies.
Edit: DonnyFuego! (I like that name.) You were at Mary's, yeah? Any tips?
Uh Oh. Look out class of 2012.
Oops, didn't see that. I'll get them to you tomorrow (too tired now).
I like cookies.
only those wearing bright green ties will be accepted.
for the women, those ultra pointy shoes will not be acceptable.
Be specific... bright green BOLO ties.
We need to prepare for the interview panel by you, me and Pratik for the 4th interviews.
One random trivia question I'll throw out there so the new folks can get to know the upperclassmen a little better:
True or False:
When asked "Why medicine" in his first interview DoctorFunk proceeded to spend five minutes outlining why medicine is a great field due to job security and guaranteed financial stability, without mentioning patients once.
How about commenting on your interview attire fashion sense.
Now, now, we'd hate to give away answers to my future quiz questions.
Oh, and by the by, that day I made Mr. Rogers look like a Goodwill-lovin' punk.
Maybe you should've used my water trick. It at least got me waitlisted here.
Yeah, but if I had done that I would already be an MD and would have two more years of earning potential added onto my career. Oh, and I never would have met all of my favorite MCoWers or Horatio!
How could you live without seeing Horatio?
Good call on not using the sick-cough-water trick. M1 year I'm glad I wasn't sick for my interview at Tulane (which was 2 days before here, and I didn't have a cold yet) -- otherwise, I'd be displaced because of Katrina.
I like to think of all of these near-misses that could have led to the folks in our class going to other schools as being just another sign that fate intervened and brought us all together.
Now whether we were brought together to become a big extended family and help each other through our education and learn valuable life lessons (ala Saved By the Bell) or rather to participate in an vicious battle with our peers for glory, power, and ultimate immortality (ala Highlander) remains to be seen. Either way, I guess I'll hang on to my katana.
Never know how many kidney biopsies you're going to do.
Btw... did you see in a thread in allo that someone made a comment that it takes "ninja skillz to do IM."
