Kuantum Posted May 12, 2008 Report Share Posted May 12, 2008 Since results are coming back this week, I just wanted to say good luck to everyone. For those who don't make it this time around, just keep trying and things will eventually work out. For those who do make it, please enjoy your summer because once you're in, time just seems to fly by. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sfuguy Posted May 13, 2008 Author Report Share Posted May 13, 2008 Just looked at the ubc med admissions site and they've posted various forms to be filled out upon receiving offers. Its getting close to THE time... Hope we all get to fill those out! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JAdlCruz Posted May 13, 2008 Report Share Posted May 13, 2008 From Pedro's NY Metro article: "But patients can't understand records, and now they need an explanation. That's not part of what I have to do. I don't have to be in a position to interpret records to patients." Yikes! Shoot me if I ever become this arrogant to think that doctors "don't have to be in a position to interpret records to patients." I understand being short for time and beleaguered, but this is bad medicine at its finest. I am really glad that my docs have all been stellar patient advocates... one even offered me a few names of good GPs in NYC when I mentioned I was toying with the idea of moving there... after this article, I think I will get those names again.

sfuguy Posted May 13, 2008 Author Report Share Posted May 13, 2008 ha ha thats really funny. This morning just underneath the FAQs there was a heading titled "2008 Offers of Admission". I just checked and its not there. These are the various forms containing info on vaccinations, financial assistance etc... My point with posting that observation was that the time is quickly approaching... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was just going to comment on that same statement, then realized someone else did already. It's exactly those types of phrases that stereotype doctors as cold, care-about-nothing-but-prestige robots. Bah... The were a number of other things in the article that pissed me off, but I can feel my blood pressure rising as I type, so I'm signing off!
