http://stethoscopesandstories.blogspot.com/2013/05/like-spit-wads-on-ceiling.html
My accounts of medical education and the profession, with a healthy dose of politics, current events, and the finer things in life. Tuesday, May 21, 2013. Like spit wads on the ceiling. This was the analogy my friend/confidante/study buddy and myself came up with while studying today. So we are throwing compact nuggets of info, spit wads, onto the crevices of our brains in hopes that it sticks long enough so in a few days we will be able to snag the answer out of thin air. Or something like that. In any ...

Stethoscopes and Stories: November 2012
http://stethoscopesandstories.blogspot.com/2012_11_01_archive.html
My accounts of medical education and the profession, with a healthy dose of politics, current events, and the finer things in life. Friday, November 30, 2012. From the land of gyn. All I can give are random snippets of my weeks on gynecology. All she could do was agree with a shrug of her shoulders and a slight smile. My skills of finding the cervix are, shall we say, hit or miss. Some days I have no issues, find it first try on my exam. Other times, I just can't. Mysterious wandering cervix. Two of my c...

DOC com: Dell or Mac?
http://alittlehappi.blogspot.com/2012/05/dell-or-mac.html
A blog about the learnings of a medical student. Thursday, May 24, 2012. Intel i7 (2.80GHz). 1TB External Hard Drive for backups, Wireless Optical Mouse. Intel i7 Dual Core (2.8GHz). 1TB External Hard Drive for backups, Magic Mouse, MiniVGA Adpater, Windows 7 Pro. What I am having a hard time deciding is whether to go with the Dell, which has a better warranty package, or with the Apple, which has better aesthetic qualities. Of course, another issue is cost. The Apple product is more than $1000 d...In my...

http://stethoscopesandstories.blogspot.com/2013/09/alex-i-will-take-whats-in-residency.html
My accounts of medical education and the profession, with a healthy dose of politics, current events, and the finer things in life. Thursday, September 19, 2013. Alex, I will take "What's in a residency application" for $2,000. Its residency application season. Woooo! This means medical students get to keep suit makers and seamstresses in business yet another year as we have to brush up (or buy new of) the oh-so-formal business attire. Meh It took me years. In med school to wrap my brain around this one.

http://stethoscopesandstories.blogspot.com/2013/05/ladies-day.html
My accounts of medical education and the profession, with a healthy dose of politics, current events, and the finer things in life. Thursday, May 23, 2013. Twas the day before Step 2 CK. I put away my obnoxious, multicolored highlighted study book. No more practice questions. This was a day for relaxation and getting-my-head-on-straight-activities. At this point, mental exhaustion was my worst enemy. Therapy. That was the theme for the day. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). I am currently a fourth year...

http://stethoscopesandstories.blogspot.com/2013/09/recipe-pasta-carbonara.html
My accounts of medical education and the profession, with a healthy dose of politics, current events, and the finer things in life. Tuesday, September 17, 2013. It has been a long while since I have posted a recipe (or posted much of anything, really). Oh ethereal, juicy, salty, savory bacon. I could wax poetic on pig fat for a while, but really, that just delays the eating so let's get on with the story. Do you want some bacon, Laura? Its been in the freezer. Think its ok? Will you take it? Well, if the...

Stethoscopes and Stories: June 2013
http://stethoscopesandstories.blogspot.com/2013_06_01_archive.html
My accounts of medical education and the profession, with a healthy dose of politics, current events, and the finer things in life. Thursday, June 20, 2013. I ran into a classmate today in one of the hospital elevators. We exchanged the typical pleasantries. Then we briefly talked about our specialty decisions. Him, Internal Medicine (adults, blech! He said, "You're probably doing Pediatrics, right? You dress like a pediatrician.". Ummm, ok, thanks. I smiled. If the shoe fits…. Why, you ask? I hate all p...
