Main page says today is AndyMilonakis' birthday. Yay!

I'm a bit confused by the question mark. But yes, today really is my birthday so thanks for the well-wishes. Unfortunately, celebrations will be delayed a bit since I've been feeling under the weather this weekend. Too bad alcohol and acetominophen don't mix well. Not getting any younger and I'd hate to kill my liver at my age.
 
Ah yes, but ETOH and ASA work well together...provided you don't already have ETOH-related gastritis. 😀

Happy birthday, dude. 👍

EtOH and ibuprofen works too...I don't know if they work well together but the combination sure doesn't kill your liver. How silly would that be for me to go to the ER on my b-day: 28 yo birthday boy presents to the ED complaining of RUQ pain and jaundice. His AST and ALT are both above 10000 and he looks like ****.

Anyone know when it's safe to drink EtOH after ingesting tylenol? My last dose was at 9:30 am before taking a long nap. What window of time is allowed?
 
Happy Birthday, Andy!! Hope you feel better soon! 😀

I believe I was just wondering if it was actually your birthday or it was the real andy milonakis's.

Well, perhaps I will have your alcohol then. I am not going anywhere though. Gonna sit around here and watch a movie and eat.

I am not sure about the alcohol-tylenol thing. If I remember right, it's worse if you take tylenol after the alcohol than the other way around, but I don't really know and as we all know, I am not a "real" doctor so don't take my word for it. Consult your own physician!
 
I literally slept all day after slugging back a few tylenol pills. Sore throat gone. No cough. Fever gone. Andy feels better. Nonetheless, today has been extremely unproductive I must say.

Good football game on though. Notre Dame just scored on USC 😀 . I hope USC loses so that all this BCS bickering from the Auburn contingent will be laid to rest. I, for one, do think that Oklahoma and Auburn should be ranked #1 and #2, respectively. Although I also don't like the whole BCS system so having 3 undefeated teams would be sweet. All this doesn't matter since Michigan won't be winning a championship this year (unlike all the other 6 years I've been here!). Dagnamit!

I have a suspicion that tylenol-->alcohol is worse than alcohol-->tylenol. But Andy didn't score in the 99th percentile on the boards 😀 so Andy better STFU when it comes down to medical knowledge.
 
Well, all you really had to know for the boards about tylenol and alcohol was that combination=bad and it involves glutathione. So that doesn't help answer your question anyway.

Isn't it amazing that tylenol would probably never be approved over the counter these days if it was introduced? tylenol carries a risk of liver damage. Ask your doctor if tylenol is right for you...

USC is now taking over the game. I have watched it here and there, but TBS was showing Galaxy Quest tonight so I had to watch that.

By the Hammer of Grabthar, you shall be avenged!

We have enjoyed preparing many of your esoteric dishes. Your Monte Cristo sandwich is a current favorite among the adventurous.
 
I love how USC is running up the score too...I'm LMFAO!

Galaxy Quest = good spoof. Random trivia bit...one of those weird alien dudes (Malthazar I think was his name) was on a "hit" sitcom which has now been relegated to the wastebasket of network shows, UPN. Which show is it?

Hmm... if we can't come up with it, will you just have to shoot us? TV just hasn't been the same since 2003. For all of you interested, Malthazar is the guy in the middle with the camera.

Now, if only questions like this are on my Step 2 CK in 2 days, I'll be fine 🙂 I made the big mistake of checking "automatically send my scores" on ERAS, so the pressure's on.
 
Well I hope you're relaxing and chilling today and tomorrow then. At least you'll get it over with. I hope you ace it...I heard them questions be all long n sh1t though.

My eligibility for Step 2CK is Oct-Dec. And I just rescheduled it for the last day in December! I'm pondering about getting an exam extension form into NBME so that I can take the exam on the last day of January. That way, scores won't be in by Feb. 23rd which is when rank order lists have to be finalized. The crappy thing is that I gotta pay fitty bucks and I have no idea if slots in the last week of January are filled.

The thing that's really on my mind now though is Step 2 CS which I have next Monday. All I have to do is speak really good English and know what I'm doing on half the cases. I hope they don't throw in wacky cases like, "The drug addict", "The malingerer", "The difficult patient", "Geriatric assessment", "Crack Cocaine Cessation Counseling", etc. Gimme some of the basic stuff like chest pain, abdominal pain, leg pain, nut pain, vaginal bleeding, etc. and I think I'll be OH-KAY. 👍

Thanks. Damn dude, haven't seen you in a long time. Hope you're chillin' like a cool muthaf*ckin vill'n. SDN was down for I think 2 days for server upgrades...there was advance warning.

Anyways, I feel much better. I think it's because in the last few days I've gotten 12-14 hours of sleep each day. Never doubt the power of bedrest!

Now now, a birthday is nothing to poke fun at. I am 28 as well and am beginning to develop arthritis and early senility. At least I think so! 😉
 
Happy belated birthday Andy 😀.

After telling an orthopod attending that I was going into pathology he said "*scoff* but don't you want to be a real doctor?". Can you believe the nerve of an orthopod saying that? Geez.

Begging your pardon - I am merely deeply appreciative of his reactions. I certainly wish him the very best in his 29th year of being.

Besides, I like smelly foods! 😉

You should have pulled a hardhat, a ball peen hammer, a football, a roll of duct tape, and a porno magazine out a bag and said "well, I was going into ortho, guess I don't need these anymore" and walked out.

I'm there. The wear&tear effect of sports is starting to take effect in my right knee. As for senility, I'm there too. That whole theory about alcohol killing the weaker neurons and making you more mentally sharp....it's all bullsh1t!
 
Happy Belated Birthday!! Isn't it nice for it to always have at least a 4-day weekend around the time of your bday?

My parents were really aiming for Christmas...it's easier to give one present for birthday/Christmas rather than having to give two presents. Well, my parents never admitted that to me but I do know that I was a premie.

It is nice to have a birthday on a 4-day weekend but birthday parties/celebrations would always have to be held earlier or later due to family time at Thanksgiving.

A cucumber? *scratches head to figure how a cucumber would factor in the daily goings of an orthopod* I would picture something like a big brontosaurus drum stick.

Perhaps - but they will never admit it.

A nice gift for an orthopod is a box of crayons so they can write their inpatient notes.

Don't forget the baby bottle filled with milk. So when they start complaining and moaning about stupid stuff, you can retort, "Baby wants his bottle?"
