Hey guys:

Sorry for staying away so long. I have finally switched my hours a bit and with daylite savings time I think I am about ready to start again.

Well, I want to let Mytime know that I will keep you in my prayers. Best of Luck , dear friend.

Novak: Mailed your package early last week. Should have arrived by now. I hope you got it or at least it had arrived to destination.

Target: Sorry about not returning your call. Has been swamped. Promise you a call back this sunday.
BTW, U are right. This is our year and YES WE CAN.

I picked up physio again these last two days and am up to flow regulation. But that was before I visited the thread. I would like to join you guys in the system wise study group. I do hope it is not too late. I know that you are doing cardio. What is the target date for completion? It seems that Target was talking this weekend.

Jena: welcome and also to all the new ones. Do not have a date for my exam as of yet and will not pick one up until I feel satisfied that my effort toward studying is good, concrete and serious. Hopefully sooner thatn later.

Shwe: Would not leave without shouting at you.

To all my friends in this thread whether new or old, let us please put our shoulders to the wheels nd conquer the beast.

Shwe, Zade Great to hear from you!.

I am not sure if I am going to be able to finish cardio by friday as we said. Could we add a couple of days more?, I have tomorrow all day free so will try to hurry up, but still in physio.

Feel free to join us guys. Wil update later.

Shwe, thank you for your suggestion that we should read FA side by side with KLN or other books. What a pity that the mistakes in there. I thought FA is a very valuable companion for MLE. But now, we should be careful. And, dear friends, please post here if you find mistakes in FA.

Novak, I am still in physiology too. I don’t think I can finish path and phar by this weekend since weekend is my busiest day. Family is one of the motivation for me to do MLE, but meanwhile, family life makes me lazy. Well, everything has its two sides.
Anyway, we need hurry up!

Jena , here is official FA site, look at update ... ie the error correction for 2008 .
They will update again , said in April or so , jsut check it regularly .
ur welcome jena .

Can check 2007 etc I guess .

Do FA with any main books ur using , for me I use common one as everyone r using , kap LN as maiun with HY, BRS etc as my mind go . But so far not using FA side by side yet since my time frame is not permitted yet .

NV , jena do as much as in time frame , if cannot try ur best to b not much delay , but keep it up spirit so when have time ur mind will all set to study full swing.

I am also working on time plan in studying , but with last cold to get full recovery , & now match days abit spending time more on seeing, up & down , how the match as trying to understand the emotional & technical journey to b preperred for that when time come to get immune winkgrinsticking out tongue

Ok , enough day dreaming with the happy , sad match wave .

c u later wink

Shwe, hope you recover soon, it seems that a lot of days have passed and you are still battleling the cold virus. So hope you get better soon!

Yes Jena, FA has a lot of mistakes, I have 2007 book, and I haven't picked it up, because I want to read from other sources first.

I am going to work in the evening, I thought I had the day off, but I am going to cover for a friend, I don't know why I said Yes, I should of stayed home and studied but well, I already said Yes, can't back off out of it, I will work 3:30 pm to 8 pm. So will try to read at the office.

Have a great weekend!

Hi guys,

How are you all! Shwe, thank you for enlightening the thread. Thanks for the link too - didnt know about it . I think this is the first week - it is kind of slow at my end too and I am working on a deadline this Monday. I managed to finish pathology since I was already on path - maybe will catch up on the rest . But lets take 2 more days and try to keep our target. Zade welcome back! Jena I know it is hard with family but believe me there is no better time than now. I heard someone say " A man without any problems is dead". This battle is amidst our problems - if we have that in mind I think we should be not be put away by setbacks.

It's Monday again!smiling face

Shwe, Thank u very much for all these links! Very helpful!! It's amazing that this thread is alive for so long time. Let's keep going. Wish we can change our topic to CK at the end of this year.

Novak, you said you'll work long time this week. Take care! About residency, just like Taget said: it's like a dream so far. I think if I can luckyly pass all these tests, I'll try to find an easiest one. sticking out tongue

Target, you are right----"there is no better time than now". Just sometime can't follow the study plan well and then lose the confidence. I should focus on it and I will.

Zade, hi, just wanted to let you know, that the package arrived, and I am getting it on Saturday. Thanks a million!

Thanks Jena for remembering, I am actually not going to work on the evenings liked I planned, so I have no excuse. Tuesday and Wednesday I have to study for my class (I teach), but Thursday to Sunday I have to dedicate myself more.

I am actually trying to look for a new job for in the mornings but had no luck, I need one that pays me more I can't save money for the exams and pay bills, and I don't have money for my parents medical expenses, I am starting to feel overwelmed by this.

Best of luck to everyone

Let us try to finish it by Friday if you havent already. Jena99 (hope things are conducive to study), Novak (no more excuses) , Zade (pl.visit more often) and shwe (what are you upto in studies?) - let us go for it .....the beginning is slow but our pace will improve as we keep at it. This is our year !

Hi Novak, good luck with your job hunting.

I tried to figure out which book is better for me for the pathology, kaplan or Goljan. Most people said Goljan is a must, unfortunately, I felt I am not fit Golijan's style. What do you guys use?

  #3970

Hi nice to you see you all back. But no reports???!!shaking head Jena I felt I didnt fit RR style too in the beginning but I do it after I listen to this lectures - it is better after that . Try it! Make best use of this weekend.

Jena ... RR path is better after knowing other subjs , understand them at least , if not just read RR quick then read other subj well then back to RR , that will give u more sense & by time u will b pro of all subj , then review , Qs adding knowledge , ur set .

Have a good study week ahaed & Happy April Fool Day on Tusesday frds .

TG ... with the RR report will b not daily or so soon since .. report will b just I done this topics .. not chpt as whole sysytem , since is no good to rush if going to know it well after done other subj at least once or after open up other subj as needed .

GL nod

  #3972

Target, Shwe, Thanks for giving me such good suggestion. Yes, if I know the other subjects better, I’ll feel easier with the Goljan.

My daughter got otitis media and have to stay at home all the time. But, like target said --- there are no excuse. Wish to finish pathology soon. Let’s see who finish the cardio first.wink


  #3973
