Can we call it the Great Samwise Robbing of all his Shit (and one of measly piece of Alex's Shit) of aught 6. I like the work "aught."

No, I wasn't. I mean, shut up.

Don't rely on connections unless they are in your immediate family but do get a slew of recommendation letters. More importantly, get recommendations from people who are famous in their field or medicine in general. Doctors are people, which is to say, they are stupid enough to believe the...

You're improving yourself. You have to get decent grades to get into med school, no doubt but you should be scared about getting in. Here is a fun statistic about american medical schools. The least selective medical school in 2007 (I think MCV) accepted less an 7% of all their applicants...

Fuck calc, frankly, rock your MCATs, graduate from Harvard, publish a paper about curing a disease, provide the cure in person to a disadvantaged african community, and get WAITLISTED at american med school. As a doctor I knew out in SF said to me, I don't know how anyone gets into medical...

Having experience in research medicine as a lab tech and clinical situations as a medical assistant and EMT, do you prefer research or patient contact and treatment? If you like them equally, get an MD because MDs can do research and plenty do but PhDs can't treat patients.

Getting the equivalent of Prader-Willi from hypothalmic damage is cool. We don't have people like that at SGU, they can't survive here because the island folks do not take the shit that American customer service type people take in America. If you are acting like a dick, they just stop serving...

Doctors are people too meaning a great deal of them are jerks. I'm sure she'd have something negative to say about caribbean doctors also.

xfer, in my experience, people don't realize the difference if you introduce yourself as a doctor but they start to pay attention when they look for a doctor or a second opinion or if you do something they don't expect or recommend a different course of treatment or what have you. Like I said...

Fin Aid is no problem, I'm on all financial aid. Two of my very good friends are already DOs. Osteopathic schools are less selective and you are less likely to get as many opportunities as a surgeon or some of the other good residencies but frankly, the difference in training is not...

That must have autocorrected on me on my iPod because I meant caruncula lacrimalis and I'm lucky I didn't further damage my nerves or become permeanently ptotic. I actually meant that it's better to get a foreign MD because no one ever asks where you went to medical school but 70% of the people...

It extends superolaterally at 45 degree angle from its origin about two inchs above my plica circularis. At the sagittal plane dividing my eye in half along its anatomical axis. it bifurcates, sending a branch more superior than lateral and another more lateral than inferior. Basically, it...

Holoprosencephaly or pineal eyes?

Also, the stitches thing is true though the cause was accidental. I'm thinking of telling people I did them myself and that's why they are less than perfect but yeah, don't get hurt here. It's either crazy expensive because you get sent to the states or you risk the local facilities which is...

Yeah, there are tons of great people here and a lot will be good doctors in the near future. As for me, I just got re-elected to student government, so I must be doing ok socially to get enough votes of 500 twice. Perhaps the timing is right for my militaristic coup. As for the islanders...
