Anyone know how to make a list of patients and their images in HRS/PACS that will load on demand at a later time? I've recently discovered Bookmarks which will allow me to save the many images I want to display, for example, on a single poly-trauma patient with tons of images. But I'm still...

I'm sure this has been covered before, but my most recent annoyance is having to pretend to be fresh, chipper, and well-rested the morning after a call shift. Frequently my post call days land on our didactic lecture days. My attendings are visually annoyed if I appear to be struggling for...

I found a couple programs that allowed me to rotate as an intern. One of them worked schedule-wise with my internship schedule. The rotation went well. In the meantime, I finished up my medicine internship while reapplying to ortho. I'm happy to announce that I did successfully match to an...

It is possible. We have similar stats. You did better on the Steps, but I did honor all my ortho rotations 3rd and 4th year (high-passed everything else) and have one 1st authorship in J of Hand Surg. Applied to too few ortho residencies and didn't match the first time through. Did a prelim year...

So far I've been told that I should contact the orthopaedics programs directly rather than the medical school externship programs. The director of my medicine internship has given me the okay to use all three of my elective months to do surgery away rotations in orthopaedics if I want. FYI, he...

If you're interested in an orthopaedic surgery autobiography, I enjoyed Hot Lights, Cold Steel. I started getting interested in ortho back in high school myself. I'm a 4th year in med school now and my interest hasn't changed. Hawk, there's nothing wrong with thinking you want to do ortho...

I recently failed to match in ortho. I did match to a prelim year in medicine with my own program. My plan is to apply again to ortho programs over the next year. I'd like to do some audition rotations (externships) at other institutions with my electives, but at the programs I've investigated...

I did an ortho rotation with a group in Boise, and they liked me enough that they offered me a job assisting in their surgeries in my free time during the remainder of 4th year. The trouble was, the hospital they worked at only allowed MDs, RNs, PAs, and CSTs to assist in a paid capacity. I...

Before I got into medical school I told my mom that if I should die, I wanted my body to be donated to a medical school as a cadaver. That way, even though I was dead, I'd get to go to medical school in some capacity. Now that I'm in, I've given her new instructions to donate my organs. That...

The comments Paws made about food related faux pas (pun intended) reminded me of another annoying don't: When someone passes around a sign-up list for a meeting that you don't want to go to, don't show up later just because you find out there is free food. Several times we were short at...

:eek: Did anyone else think I was serious? That's too funny, because the alternative to me making a joke is that I really am THAT stupid. And apparently JamesSteelJones thinks I am. :laugh:

I like how you immediately assume that because a person is articulate in their explanations, they must be male (note your use of the word "his"). I'm sure it never occurred to you that tchantel might be a female? ;)

Professor Chaos's conspiracy theory is sounding more valid to me after discovering a disturbing similarity between a phrase used on SDN and on the Nursing Advocacy site. The similarity is so striking that I can only conclude that JamseSteelJones and the webmaster at the Center of Nursing...

The frustrated SDNer who feels like the thread has been hijacked into something very different than the OP intended, all because some people are overly sensitive and must vent their insecurities publicly by attacking others. [Inertial dampeners online...bracing for impact.]
