well im not kiddinghere but here's what i do..
i request someone in th ehouse to check after 1 hour to turn off the computor
or put an alarm..
then i put on any DVD at random..
now i try to listen intently..
if i dont fall asleep, im not wasting time..
if i did, try to remember from step 1 that memory pathways are consolidated in sleep
no way u lose !!

well dont compromise on explanations..thats y i got around loads to do now..the point is u wil not get the same qs in th eexam..u need to figure out the approach to qs...what u cud do is omit writing details of stuff u know will be fopund in books..eg types of strokes, or types of anemia, coz they r found in ur books..i havnt touched kaplan too..but i dont think a read of kaplan without qs is as useful...try doing cardio dvds and then do the cardio qs..u'll be faster then
GL..

well im struggling to keep pace..atleast try to take notes in Qs with info u know will not be there in the books..or will be easier given in UW than other resources...eg preventive medicine...perhaps u cud note down the influenza recommendations, but writing the CHD risk factors in detail..
if u still find that overwhelming, atleast read over the explanations well..
i plan to take tests on wrong or flagged items and depending on that will seee if i need to extend my subscription or not..

MI vs angina= cardiac Es
important point is to look for ST elevation.
- if a pt has stable angina, mx is different.
- unstable angina or NSTEM ( non ST elevation MI) are treated the SAME
- STEMI is treated differently ( REPERFUSION REQD--thrombolytics or MI)

start with cardio dvds by dr c fischer. then decide if u wanna do the other subjects he covers ( hematology, infectious disease) . i liked neuro, but it isnt Essential. i havent done all so i cant comment abt the rest. however plz do listen to the cardio ones. which year are they btw ( coz i think in the newer ones, lecs may be taught differently)
good luck
