They also do some door prize type stuff at the zoo - I won an "Oklahoma Medicine" shirt last year.
I believe they also have free beer...

Unlike the class of 2008, our class (2009) had our mods assigned randomly.DivaDoc12 said:So are the mods assigned randomly? Or is there some type of order?

T-7 days...
Getting excited? Feeling nauseous? Having second thoughts?
I had to do the 150 with OGE also...I was like wtf?exlawgrrl said:pointless rant but is Oklahoma City the most pain in the a&&, expensive city to get your utilities connected. I just realized that I have to pay a ton of money to OG&E on top of giving them a ton of documentation just so they don't disconnect my service. Considering that I never pay my bills late and have excellent credit, I think their $150 electricity deposit is a bit extreme.
I did mine at the health dept. Kinda long wait, but oh well.Mr. Freeze said:Utilities in general are a PITA...
I'm still convinced ONG was charging both me and the people who bought my house in Stillwater for the same gas.
I'll probably look back through the thread, but did most folks get their vax at the health dept., or are we able to go to the FMC yet? I can't find proof I had a mumps vac, and it is prolly time for me to get a tetanus booster anyway...

exlaw, the paper outlining what vax were needed said bring to orientation, the last mailing said by the 4th...I've obviously put it off as well...
exlawgrrl said:That's where my confusion came from, too. I did talk to Judy Davis, and she told me to get her what I could by tomorrow and get the rest later. Glad I'm not the only one confused.
Mr. Freeze said:I hope so...I had to talk my supervisor into letting me take a city ride @ 0945 to the health dept. for my MMR that they stop giving @ 1045; right as they called my name after waiting prolly 40 mins, the tones went off and I had to go. They're all like, "It'll just be a second..." You DON'T UNDERSTAND, it ain't Halloween, I'm not wearing a fireman costume because it's trendy...I gotta GO, NOW...After I left, a different rig ended up taking the call, because I was kinda out of pocket. So I went back, but still had to wait...grrrr
On my way to fax vax records, we get a call to unresponsive fem, poss EtOH. She was very ++++ EtOH, no poss about it...She got to wear the OHP-issue bracelets during her ride to the hospital while I sat on her legs after she slipped from the cot straps and kicked me in the mouth.
But hey, if I've done my math right, at least it's my last shift.

I came out of a house once with all of my equipment covered in cat hair, cat poop, and roaches. It was the middle of July, called on a unresponsive person inside the house. The house was a typical 3bdrm brick home in the middle of a decent neighborhood. Walking up to the house, I started seeing strange looks from the PD that had arrived just prior. Entering the house, it was dark, curtains closed, filled with a putrid stench I can still smell to this day, open moldy, half-eaten containers of food everywhere, filled with trash halfway to the ceiling, no A/C, you get the picture. The older lady in the house literally had narrow trails carved through trash piled up at least 3-4 feet on either side, to walk fom room to room. It was impossible to get into the bedrooms because the hallway and bedrooms were full. The bathroom was unaccessible as well, so I'm guessing she just used the living room or whereever. She was unresponsive in the middle of the kitchen "trail", blown pupil, heatstroke, and when I went to roll her on her side to place her on a spine board to get her out, I stuck my hand in her axilla. Mistake. It was a raw, massive gooey lesions filled with cockroaches. As soon as we rolled her over, it was like you had disrupted roach central. Hundreds of them, under the body, scattered. All across my boots, my partners boots, equipment. Everwhere. We literally had to strap her to a spine board, with a foot board, stand her almost vertically and "fish-walk" it out of the house. Out of the house, into the ambulance off to the hospital. At St. Johns, everything proceeded relatively normally until a nurse tried to put a foley in the patient. Apparently during the procedure, a bug poked it's head out from the umm... netherregions, and there was a short, badly-muffled scream from the room.
She died (the patient, not the nurse) shortly thereafter (duh) Let's just say it's a call I'll never forget.

Is this true?
Thanks,

If you choose to pay AMSA dues and get the free Netter's (let's PLEASE not start that debate again, I'm just saying IF you do it),

WhoisJohnGalt said:About time too... I'm BORED out of my SKULL!!!
(Mental note: Re-read this two weeks from now, and slap self in face.)
WhoisJohnGalt said:I'm who you heard it from, so let me clarify-- I'm not promising anything. It's not necessarily true that EVERYONE will hold your check. What I can tell you is that last year, none of the checks *I* wrote cleared before disbursement, and my MS2's told me that it was intentional because they knew we didn't have any money until then. And believe me, those would have been rubber checks if they hadn't waited. So I can tell you everyone was nice last year, and none of my checks bounced. Let me also clarify that the checks I'm really referring to here are membership fees and syllabi, because that's all you'll need before disbursement.
Now, the bookstore is totally different-- they serve the entire HSC (not just the COM), so they don't cater to us. I definitely wouldn't chance it with them. The good news is that you don't need any books before disbursement. I know they're exciting and shiny, but you will NOT use them during orientation or on the first day of class. I just looked at your schedule, and 1/2 of you are out of class at noon on the 15th, and the other 1/2 at least have a long lunch. I would probably advise at least going to pick up BRS Gross Anatomy during lunch. If you have the afternoon off, you can start your book buying frenzy, but if you just have a few minutes, I'd still pick up Chung's so you have it on the second day of anatomy. As long as you're on direct deposit, the money should hit your bank account early AM on Tuesday, so you should be all set to buy books by lunch. If you choose to pay AMSA dues and get the free Netter's (let's PLEASE not start that debate again, I'm just saying IF you do it), then I know that AMSA will definitely know better than to cash your check, so you can get your Netter's before disbursement (but, as I'm sure oudoc will tell you, you should probably read their platforms on their website before signing up just to get the Netter's).
P.S. I just thought about it some more, and you're actually probably safe going to the bookstore on Monday, though not during orientation. If you have Tuesday PCM but not Monday Gross lab, I don't see what it could hurt to write a check at the bookstore Monday afternoon. As long as you're sure that you're set with finaid, it's not like a check written Monday can clear before Tuesday.
P.P.S. I'm not endorsing financial irresponsibility. Obviously, it's best if you have the money in your account before you write the check. But, for those of you for whom that's not an option, I'm just being realistic about what's probably cool.
P.P.P.S. I've always wanted to write a post-post-post script.
JohnnyOU said:Thanks for the info
I'm just going to cut the checks and hope I don't get $300 in elastic penalties.
bluespin83 said:Has anyone started buying their books yet, ie. Netter's Atlas. Or should I just wait till orientation on Wednesday to see what we really need.
lol no kidding.RachelD said:Anyone want to meet at the fountain at like 5:45 tomorrow to put some faces with our names? I really don't want to keep asking people if they are on SDN!!
I think you can turn it in during orientation with no problems. Not 100% sure tho.want2beadoc said:Well I was looking through my myriads of papers that I've collected over the summer when I find my completed, but definitely not mailed, student computer account request. Argh! I was reading that this should be mailed August 4th. Should I hold on to this until orientation, take it to someone on campus, or mail it? I don't even know where to take it to get a sponsor to sign it... What should I do?
I hope I haven't forgotten anything else.

Tonight is definitely casual dress. I think your plan sounds fine as far as orientation. You don't need a jacket for white coat, as they put that cute little white one on you during the ceremony.Non-TradTulsa said:Is tonight casual dress? I'm having to come down from Tulsa this afternoon, so I'm gonna be a little frazzled.
Also - for orientation, I was thinking that just slacks/dress shirt/tie would be fine for Wed and Thur - save the suit for the luncheon on Friday (or maybe I should save it for White Coat Fri night) - I assume we don't need jackets with slacks and a tie. Is this a good plan? (I still haven't gotten my MCAT 20 pounds off, and this has limited the number of decent suits I have that fit!!).
Thanks!
I don't believe that I would bring a significant other to disorientation. It is basically just for the students. It would probably be awkward for her. However, they are very much welcome to join us after when lots of us go to TapWerks. I believe that is what my husband did.franky1095 said:Is the disorientation significant-other friendly, or should I come alone?

Yes. A very good bar, if I say so myself. All kinds of beer and great atmosphere. Even if you don't drink, it is still fun to come hang out. There are a lot of students that don't drink, but still have a really good time. Those that drink have a good time, too!!JohnnyOU said:TapWerks?
Is that a bar or something?
