Not when you start on micro it isn't. :laugh:

Oh, the happy life of CP. Oh crap, I forgot the ginormous binder and ten foot stack of 'interesting' journal articles we were instructed to peruse aka read or die

Let me help you out. Most if not all gyn path comes from female patients. There are ovaries, uteruses (or is it uteri), some tubes, and the ever popular hoohah, which is the entry portal for men and foreign objects and the exit portal for babies, blood, and funk. There, now don't you feel oriented to gyn path?

Be sure to use "hoohah" on reports, whenever possible. 👍

I personally will be willing to donate a dollar to Andy, if he were to use "hoohah" somewhere in a signout :laugh: :laugh:

Just make sure you don't stick you hands in pee-pee, or else you'll have to sanitize them with Purell. Well, that or just wear gloves all the time.

A dollar? I think that would deserve some cookies.

It really is time to let that go, man. Let the past be the past. At least I didn't choose the "never" answer.
 
"Hooh-hah" in signout certainly deserves a cookie. Maybe two.

It's an interesting transition, indeed. I almost felt like a resident yesterday when a medical student glanced at the "M.D." on my nametag and asked me to explain something to her (as if I am supposed to know something!?!) - and by some miracle the answer popped out of my mouth! Kinda freaked me out.

Of course you knew your ****. You're a frickin' doctor now for crying out loud...you're no longer a med student peon.

I think my desk in the residents room is sandwiched between 2 desks for med students. I hope I have a similar response to yours when questioned 🙂

We'll find out for sure this Tuesday.

Didn't you tell me that my seat is across from your's though? In any case, when the med students pepper you with questions, I'm gonna sit back and watch with delight (just kidding).

Damn ignorant first year residents. 😉

Good luck to you all in your start. As for starting on Gyn path, that sounds a bit rough - so much terminology there, staging issues, etc.

I think your desk is behind me and over one toward the entry, so you can chuckle with impunity - I can't see you. But, you are the closest first year to the med students, should I be unavailable.

it's not too terrible...granted, it's the 6th ed. of Robbins, but i learned some handy terms today such as vag and babymaker. no mention of "hoo-hoo" so people who use that term must be gunners who bought the 7th ed.

Oh believe me, I've thought of that situation too. I've been practicing my Corky Thatcher impression. They're never gonna wanna ask me questions again after they get a load of that!
 
Ahh...first day of work today. Should be fun. I'm excited. All I have to remember is that Humpty Dumpty says Thumb Thumbs!
 
I got switched from surg path to hemepath at the last moment. So I am back to knowing nothing at all!

Transitions? Let me tell you that I now have intimate knowledge of all the wonderful things that you CANNOT do without a Social Security Number and US credit history.

If you PMed me about the personal statement, rest assured I have not forgotten - I have limited Internet access right now (this place needs more computers!) and I will get to it... eventually 🙂
