Hi P2B, you call taking care of family a wasted day? Rubbish! For you, wasted day should be, lazing around the house, painting your toenails, talking to your friends for a couple hours on the phone, watching television, not CNN, but I Love Lucy, etc... so don't beat urself up for taking care of business  Just try not to get too far behind. You can do it!

P2B ,
I sense abit jumpy in ur post at mine, so come to check here. U are like me PT full day work in few days in the week. That what I am going to tell u detail what I am doing in study, pick, read any in eye, mind, as far as study . We have same subj going on , I am also pick golj audio, Fa , behav Sc sometimes, also micro too .
So when work whole day, hard to do core subj like bioch , physio yet .
I also study week end now too, both days. But coming week is long week end , last one so enjoy with family , u & they need u vice versa .
Try cut off outing especially eating out , we like to do as family too, but that takes time , if every day or every week. The family will understand, but do study when saty behind, no TV at all , less browse on web .
Also house cleaning, do as just needed, some leave it if not just cleaning but u like to rearrange organized things around , make look nice etc things like that [ I used to be like that waste my half or 2/3 day cleaning, moving stuff around, then tired, cannot read ].
So lets meet at all lands.. golj, FA, Beh Sc, Micro etc., at the end we will have few subj to finish . Try few Qs too when less hr on work day or Fa , micro, papi's audio is good on work day too .
How's hubby's B. day ? That u cannot miss , also urs & ur son . Those are special day , u need day off from study .
So far ur going well , so keep it up . I will not visit friends at all as used to be, since also need to balnace family, work, study, need me pop in mine or pm me sis.
Amazing ped mind goes together, we pick all subj, books randomly , but happen to be the same exact .
GL

Ok so answering all the questions u have been asking.
Mytime is right chromosome 21 does encode for Beta amyloid protien which is the pathology for Alzheimers. Point to be noted is that in Downs which is a trisomy of 21..there is a 3 times more of the B-amyloid hence the preponderence to Alzheimer's. i.e if they live long enough to have A.
AFP Increases in NTD and Decreases in Downs.\
USMLE WORLD AND KAPLANS is more than enough unless u have 5 months to prepare. if you do, more questions and more variety the better.

OK advice no. one i have those too and wud be great if we cud all read them ie if time was there. But since NO i'd say stick with KAplan and UW! And then no harm looking in at the weak ones if u want but get the other two done first and see where u are at! Good luck!

I say the same about those books, I prefer the BSS q's on the CD-rom. That is, after Kaplan, UW, Robbins and WebPath

your questions have already been answered!!
But just reiterating: if you have the time + luxury of doing them all....go ahead by all means.... BUT, if you do Kaplan Q Bank + UW REAL WELL....you will be in great shape ..this is what I am planning to do  (of course as Edie mentioned, hope to do Robbins and WebPath as well)

hi there p2b.
i have those qns too. while i'm doing uw and qbank solely for purposes of learning and testing myself, i plan on using bss for simulated tests. i only have 1 from the kaplan people. if i need more, i'll be using bss, simply to check my time and stamina.
hope i've helped. good luck!

Hey P2B, Hope you are feeling better. As everyone else mentioned on here already, you work very hard and so you deserve a little time off. It's ok, if you didn't have a very productive day on Sunday. You need to recharge your batteries every once in a while to work at full potential. So I hope you are recharged and making some progress. You can do this, we can all do this. Many others have been through these trails and made it and so we can too!

I LOVE U GUYS. THANX FOR THE SWIFT RESPONSE.
I'm gonna solve first Qbank & UW. And once I am confident with those & time permitting I shall attempt BSS.Thanx for helping me out.Was racking my brains trying to figure out what was the best course of action.
Here's a question-
Mom brings her 8mth old daughter with h/o fever- 2days & water -filled blisters on tongue & soles of her feet. Very irritable baby, with decreased appetite.On further testing (culture of d/c),found to be caused by a positive sense RNA virus. Diagnosis please?

Hey Ped2B,
sorry for the late response abt. your q? on Board Review Series? I don't have it so I can't comment on that. But I think if you're done w/ first reading..do UW & Kap Qbank bec. those takes time in finishing it up plus it's been highly recommended by everyone in the forum. Good luck!

PERSISTENCE CONSISTENCY PRAYER
HARDWORK ENDURANCE
This is my mantra from today on.No neg thoughts shall invade my head.Laziness shall not conquer me.I shall strive for excellence.I shall not put myself down.I am gonna stay focused.I can & I will.I have to be disciplined.I will not panic.I will trust in God.
I have to be Persistent
I have to be consistent
I have to endure
I have to work hard.
And I can do this with God by my side,guiding me thru every step.So pray ,pray & pray.Every breath that u take is guided by Gods hands,so don't u thing ur usmle outcome is all up to him.Whatever the result maybe its his plan for u.But u have to give ur best in whatever u do.He knows what u r capable of.Anything more,he will not burden u with it.There is a purpose for me right here .right now.I am gonna do it.I am definitely gonna do it.

hey, p2. great prayer!! we should all stick to it.
abt endo: physio and path. endo is traditionally a tough topic, unless it sticks well the first time. it's notoriously hard to cram. but, i think doing physio first will lay the foundation great for the path that follows. it will make a lot more sense then.
ultimately, it's your call, but why don't you try endo physio with another book? which are you using now? and which did you use in med sch? try if that works now again.
good luck. if you can crack it, endo is very scoring. good luck dear!
