We need to put out a warning to the public. WANTED Some Guy Beware of him. He's dangerous. He will invariably shoot you, attack you, or harm you in some way...and he will do so without provocation while you are "just standing there minding your own business". Be on the look out.

Congrats everyone!!! It looks like you all did so well in the match. I'm thrilled as well. I got my first choice!!!! UCSD Fun, Sun, and a lil Emergency medicine on the side :laugh: Apparently all of our spots except 1 went to guys. Looks like every night is gonna be "guys night out"...

**I'm venting** I just got offered an interview to Jacksonville's program late Friday (jan 13). I would have loved to interview there earlier (as I was in Florida a month ago). The interested part is that they have all of the available dates between Jan 18th and Jan 27 and they ask us to...

If I could do it all over again I would have skipped classes. The people who skipped class were able to sleep in, work out, have a life, AND study more than the rest of us. By going to class you spend approx 8 hrs per day in lecture, then you go home and read everything all over again...

Please remember that cardiac tampanade can be caused by things such as trauma. When I hear pericardial effusion, pericarditis pops into my head. Cancer etc. some sort of medical process.

Undergrad school definately matters. The year that I interviewed at Yale med school I discovered that over 30% of their med school's first year class consisted of people who had gone to either harvard or yale. Coincidence?

If my future "baby mama" was such a fan of abortion..then she wouldn't ever be my "baby mama" now would she!? :laugh:

If med school were really full of sluts then my med school experience would have been a helluva lot more fun! :laugh:

That's not true. Some latinos are white as snow. It really helps out the interviewer especially if they are conducting multiple interviews per day prior to filling out the eval forms. It's easier to connect a face with a memory of an interview than to do it on name alone.

Don't worry about it. I went to a CC and got like 27 med school interviews granted. I'm at a top 5 now.

You lose nothing because you are not "subjugating your beliefs" as you assert. You are merely keeping your mouth shut. Believe what you want but keep your mouth shut until you're in a position to do something about it. Is that once you're in med school? Is that after you've got a residency...

Wow you've certainly said a mouthful in this response. Allow me to play devil's advocate here. In essence you're running/volunteering in a free clinic that dispenses meds, diagnoses and treats patients with little/no supervision from docs. You practice protocol based medicine (which...

I knew it! I'm surrounded by Kims! So ummm...How YOU doin Kim? :laugh:

:laugh: Those "conservative, bitter old doctors" have the power to open or close the door to your medical career. If you ever hope of being accepted, then you better tone it down.

agreed. Also throw in the ability to have a family and outside interests.
