MS-III: Opening up AOA programs
http://delaughterdo-msiii.blogspot.com/2005/06/opening-up-aoa-programs.html
Thursday, June 02, 2005. Opening up AOA programs. I'm about to mention something considered faux-pas in the osteopathic community: Opening up AOA residency programs to allopathic physicians. There are many arguments as to why this is so:. And nearly 50 per cent. One of the complaints I have seen from allopathic students is something to the effect of, "why should we support a joint match when we won't get any benefit from it? As it stands now, AOA GME programs only allow DO students to matriculate, meanin...

Mr B is a 29 year old caucasian male admitted from the Psych ER on detention warrant from home where he was found by police to be running around his mother's house yelling that "someone brown is chasing me with a gun.". Because of his increasing paranoia (and psych history), the police officer took Mr. B into custody and brought him to the Psych ER for evaluation. Married x 5 years. One child ...

MS-III: Happy July 4th!!
http://delaughterdo-msiii.blogspot.com/2005/07/happy-july-4th.html
Sunday, July 03, 2005. Just wanted to wish everyone a wonderful July 4th. Be careful. If your town is anything like mine, things started to get crazy early. Watch out for the nut-jobs driving around looking skyward rather than on the road ahead. And please, don't be one of the nut-jobs. I start my first "official" 4th year rotation tomorrow - Anesthesiology. Should be fun, and I should learn alot. Para; 11:41 PM. Comments: Post a Comment. Houston, Texas, United States.

MS-III: Friday Night Lights!?!?!?
http://delaughterdo-msiii.blogspot.com/2004/10/friday-night-lights.html
Saturday, October 09, 2004. Well, I just returned from the movie theatre with my girlfriend. We went to see Friday Night Lights. Awesome movie. It really took me back to the good old days of High School football. Damn, I miss football. What happened instead was like a medical student's dream (especially one interested in Emergency Medicine). Anyways, I had stopped by this time, killed my car, turned on the emergency flashers and began running toward the overturned vehicle thinking (somewhat morbidly), "O...

MS-III: Studying
http://delaughterdo-msiii.blogspot.com/2004/10/studying.html
Tuesday, October 05, 2004. Before I entered medical school, my idea of a lot of studying was a few hours of looking over notes the night before a test. I refused to study any more than 3-4 hours for any test because I didn't think it was worth it (and frankly, even in nursing school anything more than that would have been a waste of my time. Don't always believe what you hear). But back to the point - I need a break from the daily grind. I'm ready for fall break. When do we get that? Just a nice week wit...

MS-III: Yuck
http://delaughterdo-msiii.blogspot.com/2005/03/yuck.html
Monday, March 14, 2005. To this point in my OB-Gyn career, I have seen no deliveries and only one cesarean section. Most of my time on call and in this rotation has been sitting around waiting for something to happen, but it never does. Of course, there were the weeks of "surgery" and "clinic," both of which were about this exciting. I feel sorry for anyone that has to follow us out here - it is really the pits. Emergency Medicine x 2 months. Then there is step 2 of the boards. I haven't decided whet...

MS-III: Things we do to our children
http://delaughterdo-msiii.blogspot.com/2005/01/things-we-do-to-our-children.html
Wednesday, January 19, 2005. Things we do to our children. You've all met or heard of someone that's done it - maybe it's even you that everyone else knows. Those people that feel the need to come up with a novel name for their child. Please, please, whatever you do, don't be clever or cute or novel. Stick with the tried and true and do not subject your poor innocent child to years of torment and ridicule because of their name. Where did this diatribe come from? Of course, I am on pediatrics - where else?

MS-III: No Sun in Sight
http://delaughterdo-msiii.blogspot.com/2005/05/no-sun-in-sight.html
Saturday, May 28, 2005. No Sun in Sight. Well, here it is - Memorial Day Weekend - and there is no sun in sight. How depressing. I was hoping for a fun weekend out in the park riding my bike and maybe getting in some photography. Now it is raining, and there is rain forecast for all weekend. In other news, I've been asked to work on an article for the EMRA web site. The internship search is stalled at 3 programs, however. Each of these are larger institutions with a few ACGME programs that also have ...

MS-III: Finished with General Surgery
http://delaughterdo-msiii.blogspot.com/2004/11/finished-with-general-surgery.html
Friday, November 19, 2004. Finished with General Surgery. The torture of q4 is over! And I managed to get through surgery without excessive OR time. I chose my cases carefully to prevent repetition and boredom. This rotation has only further increased my interest in Emergency Medicine. How? But important all the same) and maybe insert the foley catheter. I did get to put in a central line, however, which was cool - especially since the intern had already missed on a previous attempt. The thoracic spine i...
