    Meeting Bf/Gf after med school?

    But in your last post you said you weren't in medical school yet. I think Ram is referring to girls who ACTUALLY are in medical school ;) Just playing Devils Advocate. Ram is an old sdner - he adds pizazz to SDN b/c of his posts....probably one of the more amusing posters next to GoatBoy...

    Overweight Medical Students

    I think the best way to stay motivated to lose weight is to find a friend in class or on campus who wants to get fit as well. You two will keep each other from eating junk food and provide one another as a means of motivation. I know I would probably end up posting on SDN 24/7, playing with...

    If you could...what would you invent?

    I was reading about e-prescribing which seems to be a great hassle but its costly to physicians and doesn't seem to offer alot of benefits. For those on rotations, if you could invent something that could make your lives easier, what would you invent? :D

    How to stay in shape in medical school

    Just put out an hour to exercise every other day. I mean if some p33ps have time to go out and drink or watch t.v., there should be some time to exercise. If not, get a bike and bike to places you have to go like to school or grocery store etc.

    Stuck up students in your MS 1 class?

    Try to look at it from a different point of view OP...if you can tolerate someone at their worst, than perhaps that person could become one of your closest friends If that's the worst that they can get, and you can stand that then um...(Lost train of thought ;p ) Sometimes, you have to...

    Benefits of OD over MD?

    So lawyer types can't share experiences but other types can? Specifics of a case would be 1. Name of the doctor 2. Name of patient 3. Location of doctor's office 4. Location of patient's home Things that would identify the clients in the case.... 4th year medical student? Um...

    medschool orientation-what to expect?

    Is it required that a student attend the white coat ceremony? And how often are parties, like social events with other schools in the area like the law/denta/pharm schools if at all?

    Re-classifying as MD resident for tuition purposes?

    50%? I thought you had to make at least 15k a year, change your drivers license over to MD, be a MD voter, and live in MD for at least a year , then you'd get MD status. That's weird, there was a girl who was MS II who was born/raised in California and was able to obtain MD status. If I...

    Benefits of OD over MD?

    It hurts my head when people think that other healthcare professions are 'less respected' than a 'MD.' Respect is earned from how you treat your patients, not what letters are behind your name. Heck, there's a physician in my area whose reputation is now known as the molestor. In fact, I'm...

    med school or pharm school?

    No, the insurance companies are.... they determine who gets treated non? :laugh:

    med school or pharm school?

    And some of the posters are disgruntled pharmacists who didn't like their career choice. If you're unhappy, then change your field. Opinions about certain professions are fine but it's not respectful to put down any profession or to deem a certain profession more superior than the others...

    med school or pharm school?

    PM: You should shadow individuals in pharmacy and medicine. The only way you'll know if you enjoy something is if you try it. For medicine, if you want an idea of what it's like shadow a medical doctor or volunteer in hospitals. Most hospitals have Scribe programs where students can...
