how many people here are involved in medicine?

[isdenn]

the more i read sf the more it seems like there's a lot of med-related people here...reveal yourselves.

im a first year currently procrastinating on studying for my path final tomorrow.

- Hm, really?

I have been on SF for quite some time and have never even vaguely got that vibe.....

[isdenn]

i guess by saying 'a lot' i mean 'more than none' since other messageboards that i have spent time reading are more on the 'none' side of things, whereas there is a thread asking about wearing jeans below scrubs on the first page of threads...and at other times ive seen people mention in passing being in residency, internship, med school etc

[ozric]

I haven't been here long, and I think I've seen more docs on the basenotes community (fragrance boards), but I'm a physician. Went to med school in India. Studying for my USMLEs and shooting for a 2008 residency spot.

Alternative medicine.

[denimdestroyedmylife]

medical marijuana

Using chain stitch, your train of jeans is fading wind.

[isdenn]

sybaritical what kind of alternative med do you practice?

Internal medicine. Primary care is my interest. I am also very interested in mind-body approaches.

Ah, well not officially a med student yet. I'm graduating in 3 days from undergrad and applying this year. Heard application process is hell, but it'll be all worth it in the end. Congrats to all of you guys who've gone through this; i know the next 6 or so years of my life are going to be tough. It's weird having all of my friends out making money and living life while i'm going to remain a poor student for quite a while (no Pure Blue AI's hehe). Anyway enough of this procrastinating and back to cramming for my last undergrad final WOOOO!!

oh yeah, one more thing, i know i've got five more years until residency, but is it really as hard as everyone makes it out to be?

[cheapmuthafukr]

i supply ddml with his medical marijuana.

damn. i knew there was a middle man.

[sybaritical]

Haha. My grow op provides the medical Marijuana that CMF provides for ddml to sell to you.

[isdenn]

the app process is annoying but stay on top of things (and get shit done as early as you possibly can without sacrificing quality on your essay) and youll be fine. if you have any questions about the process or whatever else, or want feedback/crit on your essay let me know.

[batorizer]

i just medicated myself with diazapam and cannabinoids then i.....

wtf am i doing?

oh yeah.... how much will my jeans stretch if i take a dump in them?

[cheapmuthafukr]

just enough. dont wash them tho or they are ruined and become fakes.

shit...

thanks for the offer isdenn, i'm working on my personal statement right now. When I finish i'll be sure to bother you about it.

Ahh shit poly800rock, I only want to apply to DO schools but the rents are pushing me to apply to the UC's (slim chance) and some east coast schools. I'm starting princeton review for the august MCAT too, the work never ends man. Maybe i'll see you and your pure blues around.

I remember a while ago you posted you picked up the examkrakers books, are they better than what ever else you are using? i'm thinking about picking those up

Taking a two day break and starting MCAT studying on monday. i'm taking princeton review classes and using the examkrackers books at home to supplement. I've heard they're great from a lot of people on studentdoctor.net . If you don't get the whole study set, they say the examkrackers verbal reasoning book is great. So far they look good, colored with diagrams, and straight to the point. The books aren't really long, so it shouldn't be too hard to get through them. I picked them up at walmart.com for around $100, not sure if they're still on there.

[Seething Tortoise]

Hopefully I'll get the grades this year, so I can get the predicted grades next year to apply to do Medicine at university. That's if all goes well.

[justbrowsing]

i just started my internship in medicine.
