Okay I have seriously fallen in love with New York (even though I’m here at least once a year)
I think I’m going to apply to a few medical schools here (there’s an osteopathic one too that seems promising as well!)

Well I don’t see why this (obviously cool and super-elite) group couldn’t be called the TOADS: “Tumblr Organization of Anonymous Doctors (and also medical) Students”? Just need a better picture for the concept. *crappy photoshop powers ACTIVATE*
If that category applies to your Tumblr, congratulations: You’re a TOAD. :) Heck, it could even apply to pre-med blogs — I’m not picky.
Now we just need to get this TAG going!

I need a DO friend to come do some OM magic on my lower back. 2 days of pulling weeds has got me all tensed up and crooked feeling.
Lately I’ve been getting a quite a few messages from pre-med students asking me if I was a nurse. While I’m not a nurse, I respect the hell out of every nurse that I work with in the ER.
What’s actually startled me is some of the attitudes I’ve been receiving when people I assume I’m a nurse. A lot of people were looking down on me for a presumed “subordinate” position.
Nurses in my opinion should be just as respected as doctors, and it really frustrates me that some people hold themselves in a higher regard because they are on the path to med school. Honestly, most hospital settings cannot survive without nurses and they’re there through thick and thin for their patients sometimes in ways that physicians cannot.
Working in a hospital isn’t like Grey’s Anatomy or House, there are usually more nurses than doctors and nurses do a lot of the heavy lifting.
I don’t know it just got me really frustrated.
You do not need to get straight A’s to get into medical school. The world isn’t going to end because you got a B in something. I got a B in Biochem 1 and 2, and a B - in molecular genetics. Further more, I scored less than 30 on MCATs. Life goes on. Relax.

So while visiting family here in New York we drove by this nature reserve thing where I had my first experience with traumatic injuries.
A few years ago I was running at this reserve and happened to see a car hit a telephone poll and do quite the acrobatic rollover.
Being the first responder to that was some scary stuff and the most adrenaline filled moment of my life
Well I don’t think it would be very ethical to test it in drivers, yeah. But I remember reading about the impairment factor. It would be fairly hard to measure the current levels of THC in the blood in an economical factor since you have to do a gas chromatography analysis to look at the levels (I think I could be wrong)
Most everyone has great opinions!
