Ed , one thing I cannot understand is, that pt preg one why she go to the OG disbelieve in abortion practice at the 1st place to get choose abortion if she is pregnant, abit tricky u think


This was outpatient clinic where OBG interns/residents rotate, sometimes the attending OBs, no private pts/practice, all public, part of teaching hospital in somewhat low-income community. Pts just make appt, but never know who they are going to get for their doc until the appt.

Ok Shwe, I am with you on the song thing. Say Papi and Barone are my true loves, ok? Now, on the 12th day of Step 1 my true loves gave to me. a lesson in respiratory! On the 11th day of Step 1, my true loves gave to me, immunology, and a lesson in respiratory grin

Hi everyone. Thanks for checking in on me and rallying me on nod Stayed up late so slept late today. Just got news that a dear one of Journal World is departing sad but, for good reason, so I wish them all the best for the test smiling face

Thanks to you that participated in the brief ethics discussions here. That topic is pretty well represented on step 1, so I will have to finish up all those cases soon. First need to do some resp q's to see if all those hours studying past midnight last night did any good. Then the final part of NBME 3. After, need to review immuno. Happy studying to all!

  #635

HEy what's that poem about went over my head! sticking out tongue Came to check on u! But EDE I SECOND UR wishes!!!!!! winknod Departing my foot!!!!!!!! Nottil I'm around! No way ! I depart first! grin

GOOD LUCK! U'll do great! I'll be post-poning my tests as the cycles shall intervene! sticking out tongueHope u'll keep a watch on me once u are done! lOVE AND bEST WISHES!


  #636

Hi Mytime, Sunny and Bright (needed to see you, it's dark and gloomy today), that poem Shwe and I referred to is an old English (?) Christmas song, "Twelve Days of Chrsitmas". On each day before the holiday, a person gets gifts from their true love smiling face

Just did a 30-q batch of resp in UW, for 63%. Also did a half-batch unused, timed, random for 60%. My UW cum avg, my NBME scores, still put me at around the low 200's, guesstimating. I wonder how realistic is it that I can bump myself up to at least 220 in a little over a week??? At this point, I must stay positive, driven and motivated. Must keep pressing for an increase in my performance. I just have to do this, I just have to nod And now, on to immunology smiling face

  #637

Oh I know that song!!!!!!!!!!! grin

What I want to say is one week is a great BIG time as is a day if u don't stress urself over l'le things....like 99 and all. Stop thinking abt that. and Viola' u got what u dreamt off!!!!!!!!!!! U are doing very good!!!!!!!!! We'll all be sending l'le prays for u so u know now what that = to? NOOOOOOOO go red general physio! grinwinknodsticking out tongue And wait for my next post!!!!!! wink


  #638



  #639

Awwww, those 'big hugs' smileys are the cutest!!! Thanks, MyTime smiling face

Did a batch of 30 immuno q's on UW, timed, all, for 22/30 = 73%. Better, but still need to get CGD, XL-agammaglobulinemia and other diseases straight. For now, CGD--> SNAPS: Staph aureus, Nocardia, Apergillus, Pseudomonas cap-something or another, and Serratia==> these are what a pt with CGD is at risk of getting infection with. That's right guys, I am down for all the memory tricks and mnemonics at this stage of the game nod

  #640

P = Pseudomanas cepaia

  #641

You go girl !!!!!!! Its gonna be over in 12 days . Good lcuk.

Hi Med, AC and P2B!!! Thanks, I need mucho support from y'all these last days...whoa--last days shocked sounds so scary! I am so glad you guys are looking out for me, I am getting the jitters--staying up late and waking early, that sort of thing. Stayed up til 3am doing Q and A with KeepGoing and others here, got up at 7am shaking head Will make myself nap today nod

Today is Questions Day! I have no set number planned, but I will be doing q's from all the sources: UW, Kap Qbanks ( 2006, 2005, 2004), Robbins, WebPath and BSS. Right now I am doing some q's from some no-name qbank that is IE-based, with 41 blocks of 50 qs--know that one? The q's are pretty easy and straight-forward. Perfect for the early-morning groggy mind grin As my caffeine kicks in I will move on to more challenging q's, and save the hardest (UW) for last. I will also be going over the old posted q's here. I might do NBME 4 today--we'll see. Happy studying to all! Happy Questions Day grin


  #649

OK...those IE-based q's were about as mentally stimulating as scratching my ass rolling eyes

Moving on to the 2004 Qbank. And more coffee nod


  #650

hey I have the 2004 Qbank. how much different are the other Q banks and what would your ecommendation be for me?
