Lab: brought to you by google

We're a little beyond the point where we really need the COP faculty to take two hours to show us how to consult reference material. After all, we're literate. Its a bit of a false dichotomy to say we're one of the top COPs in the country and then stopping to hold your hand while you do a Lexi-Comp search. We had an IPPE, remember? Surely you tards fired up Lexi-Comp at some point on that 4 week misadventure.

And physical assessment lab always manages to find some way to be awkward. I.e. the TA opening the door, seeing two of us are wearing examination gloves and saying "I don't even want to know what you're doing with those on". Or then there's having some of the guys in my exam room examining me for tactile fremitus with the "Say ninety nine...ninety nine...ninety nine...daddy's name". But nothing tops the TA telling me that checking for S3 is "a little like spooning your patient". You can't go forward with the exam after that, you just can't. I couldn't very well look at Charlie and say:

"Move over Charlie, make room for daddy on the exam table".

Today's awesome is probably a lot like how blocks are going to feel:

  1. Nice blog! I should be studying for therapeutics, but I can't stop reading your posts. Good luck with blocks this week, and for a heads up about the law class. Fink's tests got shorter and easier each time around last year, but maybe he just gave up on our class, who knows.

    Also, if you could use the help would love to send in some entries about life as a PY3. I actually wanted to start my own blog about it, but your concept is already much more creative than mine. Maybe we could include some PY1 stuff too and then everyone in the COP could be involved. Let me know, my email is danielm321@yahoo.com
