Hi Shine,

Welcome again. I am not into any webs, or pic , will do later may be, only if time permit .
Webpath did not attract me, does not means no good, every one using it I guess . I am just happy with kap dvds & HY & my med school, clinical experinces, though not in practice now. But i am good at pic if I see them once usually i see them already except not sure about histo path that was long ago so I will trust kap , Hy for that . Then occasinal browse when run into the pic .
You want histo with lable google it as hito, path or check library or med or local book store , look in the books.
So wait for others here or ask at support forum . Most of us are now studying harder , so not much post here .

Anyway GL .smiling face

  #3357

Mytime, good to hear from you. How amazing, one less burden from your shoulders is off. Yes, rest a bit and hit the step 1 wiht full force.

GOD mY post!

Arite here it is again!

AM EXTREMELY SORRY ABOUT U INDI. sadY now?disapproval But I guess that'd how life is!confused rolling eyesU win some u lose some. Same goes for JAIDE. shaking headI'm sorry u both went thru this hell or a re going thru it. But look at it as such u will get better and u'll get stronger. And that will make u even more determined than before.

MY exam was OK i guess. I think I'll write my exp. better after I get my results. The night before was tough as Surya scared us with c/o headache and his screaming...he was on treatment for a bad otitis which i must had he had after quite sometime. So i went to the exam center in a daze with my mind at home. I left my fone with the proctors and told Rohit to call and leave a msg abt whatever the doctor said. In the meantime messed my CNS case bigtime, coz all i cud think of was what was Surya having! There was one person I cudn't counsel. Forgot to drape a lady till she mentioned that she was quite cold. I apologised and draped her immediately. Forgot to tell a back pain lady abt. her slipped disc but mentioned other possibilities. Rest of the day I think I was mostly fine, of course I'm sure I did forget some more stuff but that's it. I cud have done better had my night be better but like I said SUCH IS LIFE!confused All goes hand in handcool. Love u guys. Am trusting ur prayers more than my efforts! nodNow I'll be onto Step 1. I'll try make a schedule today and we'll start soon.


  #3363

I too wish speedy recovery, can not believe it happened, wasn't he suppose to have exam any soon ? Oh, I'm sure he is a strong person and will get better very soon. My prayers are with him.

Oh,Mytime there are some inevitable events for us in the life, that's how it is,as you said. We must be strong, do our best. Sorry to hear about your son, and his chronic otitis, that must be hard for you, better to say you and hubby. Poor little boy.

As for exam, I'm sure you did as good as you could that day, and you gave your maximum ! Everybody makes mistakes, so don't worry now, soon you will find out, with our prayers, the PASS will come out of it.

Hm, what did you mean '' touch inappropriately''. shocked Was he male ?

Hey friends,
Just spoke to your all time fav clown. He is in the recovery room and sounded different. Getting better and will be home by tomorrow.
I did visit the forum before and conveyed all your kind prayers (by names nod )

Unique: About me, i did manage doing some stuff but my UW and a couple of q banks are still piled up. I know people doing about 5000 questions before taking the big plunge. I was thinking of giving an NBME and just going for it. Might extend a few more days to finish off whats remaining. Thanks for your kind thoughts.

Mytime: All these teeny meeny mistakes are bound to happen when we are in so much stress. Just realx and chill. How is Surya now?

SSS:A BIG CONGRATS to you on your CS. Will be waiting for the next good news in line soon.Just a few days to carrying a bundle of joy rt. Hope it all goes well sweetie.



Shwe, KG, GG, Aim, OKOTB,NNL and the rest of the friends.......Happy Studying!!

  #3370

Shwe: Your post for CS was so amazing......i just had it for keepssmiling face

  #3371

Novak: You are doing soooooo good ......All the VERY BEST DEAR!! Just keep it up k nod

  #3372

Like To wish our strong buddy INDI get well soon,with successful surgery with speedy recovery. As a minor surgery with our INDI , am sure he will be ok .

MT , your son age is otitis age here, hope that goes away when he is older.

Re the inappropriate touch ... hmm , will have to ask teacher for sure . email me detail with how , & your detail react too, I am serious. I can e mail teacher by c/p your message.
My assumption...

1. it happen accidentally with no purpose or intention.......then let it be, in that case usually some say sorry to you , but few some say none cause so embarass self.

2.it happen purposely without written in their act script , just that person , not as sp act
....... then , you did right , I think in exm room or real life .

BECAREFUL , it happens in real life too to both man or woman DR, nurse, PA, secretory, receptionist any one in health care fields. Just be alert, cautious, play safe .
It happens in ways of not only inappropriate touch in so many ways, act , move, manner , dress or not, talk , look , crush on you, onto you, charm with you etc rude, shout, angry, just do not like you cause of no reasonable reason you know the reason or not etc.

3. it happens on purpose cause in the sp's act script...... I doupt it, but may be too, with so many incidents for Drs male or female , nurses, PA, Medical, Dr assistant especially in pt room one by one with you situation , or even open place .
They might want to know how we should, would react , but , I really do not think it's in the script . It is inappropiate touch , not talk or manner which are already good enough to get , test right reaction fr you as Dr .

I do not know , still like to know in that case , we should tell pt openly in really life or not . We do share those among Drs etc in office staff , so we all know next time pt , usually same pt do that we'll be careful , be alert .
It happens more to handsome , good looking, nice, gentleman, charm, cute, sweet male Drs etc , & charm ,look young, pretty, adorable, nice, sweet, cute female Dr etc , does not matter the race .
I have friend do speak out but she is not in health care field, she is in pc world , when guy look at pc when all are at pc center, but he is on the top of back of , over the girl , she said, " you know you're on top of me " , so he back off .
Any , was going to e mail you this, but I think all might want to know, be careful .

Only law suit hear, pt to Doc, I never know Dr, health care staffs to pt , if do it will be great in here & back home & around the world . That is why in some part of the world & some Dr has opposite sex` nurse or medical assitant etc in room with opposite sex DOC when has pt in room especially when doing the physical examination.

Have a good study days & week friends.

JD get full speedy recovery sis . Try to e mail you, found out no mail address yet . How did it happen ??

GL GL GL happy success study to me, sis, bro, friends

  #3373

Focus, I have to re search for my CS post too , cause i write most right after my CS course & was surprise , still fresh when write for MT here & at my site. But not sure will stick by time I will do Cs in long way after .

If you have save all pl re link here after the st 1 exm , so by that time we will be into Cs too , or I will find time in future to do that .

Do study well kap LN chp Q Q book DVD, audio papi & his path LN or RR then kap Q bank as study explain , FA will do I think, also some say UW as learning .
CD from USMLE is important some said.
You might already know that immu, genetics, mole , CT, MRI, histo patho are there too .

I might not do much on line web for the pic or radiology CT MRI , willl do kap LN dvd & HY I think. Cause those webs image really slow me down like net anatomy, web path etc.

What do you all think?? MT will say do web pic .

Read Feyza exm experinces all pages , friends . Do not forget to reread Anemelie, our sis 99 exm experince here too in ?? Apr post .


Happy Canada day July 1st & Happy 4th July too.

GL GL GL happy success study to me, sis, bro, friends nodcoolnod

ps FOCUS...... Please send mine , ours kisses & big hug to our INDI boy . Bad thing already pass, so am sure he only have best good thing as 99 for his exm .

hi everybody, nobody answered my mail may be because I am not in ur study group, although I read ur postings often.I am an old IMG and a mom..but please tell the source to see MRI,Xray. the gross specimen slides n Xrays r not labelled in web path how do u all understand those web path slides?someone ans PLEASE.I need ur help nod

  #3375

Hi Shine

Its not a matter of being in group or not. Most of the senior members of the groups are nearing their exams so they don't get time to answer or post that regularly as before, including myself.

Here I would like to say congrats to all those who have already written and awaiting results and GL to those who are going to do it in near future. I also wish speedy recovery for all friends and their families.

Now coming back to your question, you can visit the website www.netanatomy.com which is highly recommended and do it before august first. I have a Cd of webpath it gives explainations and also important areas of the slides are marked by arrow. I am not sure which slides are you referring to. You can check University of Utah for webpath slides. I think its downloaded from there. Another good thing would be to check Goljan slides/FA slides which are High yield in the exam and also for further study you can consult Robbins too.

I am also an irregular visitor in this forum and I don't know when I will check the posts again. but I hope it helps you.

You are more than welcome in this forum. nod There are many moms in here, I am one of the very few dadsgrin.

GL
