rmorelan Posted May 20, 2014 Report Share Posted May 20, 2014 Yes, sadly... Hard to fill the void. I am sure she will pop back at some point - probably just logically trying to make sure she doesn't run into any problems at school. She was spending perhaps a bit too much time on here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rmorelan Posted May 20, 2014 Report Share Posted May 20, 2014 My version of give-amouse-a-cookie for med hopefuls: It's May 19th, so basically it's almost June. If it's June then it's like the whole summer goes by in a flash. If the summer goes by in a flash, then the online applications to med school are open again for the next cycle. Once they're submitted, then it's time for the supplemental info to be submitted. So now it's the Fall. Once that's done, then it's the waiting game to the interview invites or rejects . By then we're going into winter and 2015 (depends on where you applied), and then it's interview time. Then BOOM it's spring again with more waiting and hopefully an acceptance. you know the cycles do go pretty quickly on the macro level I am almost a pgy2 now (!) - if I was in family medicine I would be a single year away from being in practice. Ha - too bad I am in radiology and have quite a bit longer to go but still pgy2 has a nice ring to it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I find I'm noticing that more and more, and I find it's making me better appreciate what's going on in the present (and making me live in the present, rather than looking ahead too much).

I'm a planner. I need to know the options of my future based on choices today. But I do agree, getting caught up in things that have yet to happen can be detrimental in many aspects of life.

I find I'm noticing that more and more, and I find it's making me better appreciate what's going on in the present (and making me live in the present, rather than looking ahead too much). yeah it does. I don't know why - maybe because in year 2 we actually start radiology but I am looking forward to it. I am very much the sort that likes to be an expert in my area(s) and completely fine about having others experts in their areas. Right now in medical I am expert in nothing and of course won't be for a long time - but currently with mostly off service stuff I am not actually advancing really either. That is annoying I want to see my skills start to improve, and that starts in second year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd say I'm a planner too, but I've learned that I tend to over-think things (A LOT), which can lead me to as you said get "caught up in things that have yet to happen." I hope I can mellow with age Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Falling Posted May 21, 2014 Report Share Posted May 21, 2014 I think I'm going to return to Brazillian JJ competition. I haven't competed in about 18 months, first due to family and then because I wanted to concentrate 100% on school for my first year back. Now that I've figured out how to schedule training, teaching and school, I think I should make a run at it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RedLily Posted May 23, 2014 Report Share Posted May 23, 2014 Get to shadow an optometrist. Super excited about it! Cool! Any idea of what you'll get to see? Maybe you'll get to watch him take retinal photos, where you get to see the inside of your eyeball- very neat (I asked my optometrist to email me mine, lol) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe you'll get to watch him take retinal photos, where you get to see the inside of your eyeball- very neat (I asked my optometrist to email me mine, lol) He's requested I dress professionally. So I'm assuming I'll at least be somewhere in the vicinity of people. Once I found out I'll definitely update though! Seeing the inside of an eye that you cut open isn't the same, so you win this round haha. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rmorelan Posted May 23, 2014 Report Share Posted May 23, 2014 looks like I have a new research project - this is going to be interesting! I have never been handed this much already organized data to shift through - it is all in neurointerventional radiology. This is something I cannot mess up - this is real research on a really important clinical problem. Welcome to the big leagues! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is something I cannot mess up - this is real research on a really important clinical problem. Welcome to the big leagues! That is awesome! Quite amazing that you get that level of exposure during the first year of residency (well, almost the end of it.) Entirely out of left field; does it happen to be on intracranial aneurysms, if you don't mind answering? My mother was followed (in Ottawa) as part of a study for a number of years and it'd just be funny if that was the data you were going through.

In terms of time though it may have include cases from the last 10 years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haha, in that case I wouldn't be surprised if she's part of the data set, though I'm sure there are many such studies so she may not be. Aneurysm research is fascinating. It's so awesome that you're getting to be part of it so early in your residency. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
