Ah rotation of the heart as opposed to rotation distally down the truncus arteriosus... so post-natally the posterior cusp can be referred to right-posterior and left anterior, as left-posterior? That's news to me, what edition of gray's was that in? :pac:

Yep. I think thats why the embryological left cusp can be described as the left posterior cusp in a purely anatomical sense.
Crap, I forget what edition it was. It may have been the 39th edition.
As for the student edition, Im using the newest one. I think its the 38th.
It all makes the study of anatomy more confusing than it really has to be! :rolleyes:

Yay!

Is it really important that we know the embryological origins or is it one of those 'it makes it easier to understand' things? Saw it's a requirement for the USMLE.

Hope everyone is well

Dr Galen · 10-04-2009 8:22am

thats both good and bad news.

Bad because we're losing another good doctor, just when we need you all the most.

But great news for you personally mate. Best of Luck with it! I fully expect you'll keep us updated on your adventures.........the beachs, the weather, the hot nurses..;)

Traumadoc · 16-04-2009 12:38pm

I really miss it sometimes.

DrIndy · 16-04-2009 10:59pm

Off to Townsville in North Queensland. Nice and warm compared to here!

They get you out on the helicopter retrievals as part of your training up there!

Heading off in a couple weeks....

Thanks for the messages

Good luck Indy , try to get out to magnetic island or the rest of the WHitsundays. Also get up to the tablelands really beautiful there.

Quite a few Irish training there now. Another of my regs recently went out.

A friend of mine is emigrating to Townsville in July for complete Psychiatry training from 1st year SHO to Consultancy level.

Thats a pretty good site - i was having a go with it and learning new stuff at the same time. Chest x-rays are the most mercurial of tests and can be the most difficult to interpret unless they are barn door abnormal.

Larianne · 27-04-2009 6:04pm

Last assignment handed in today. WhoOOoo. Bring on the SUMMER!! All starts again for me though in September. Yays.

ZorbaTehZ · 02-05-2009 5:11pm

Got asked in my CXR OSCE what an aortic notch was, anyone know? Google shows me this page which seems to indicate its a congenital abnormality - if that's the case is it not a bit unreasonable for a first year OSCE?

I'd have taught an aortic notch was a bit harsh if you're first year on the undergrad degree.

13 hour shifts... pfft, you don't know how good you have it. come and do real shifts with the big boys here in Ireland

grammar nazi behaviour always comes back to bite you in the ass- thats the one constant truth i've learned from boards!

tallaght01 · 05-05-2009 1:44pm

I've done more hours this week than I ever did in paeds!!! Poxy virus hasn't even reached oz yet! I'm also working acute paeds shifts, that I agreed to do ages ago.

Sam34, I know you don't understand the concept of work outside the hours of 10-4, so I'll phrase it in a way you'll understand: "I didn't get my afternoon cupcake today" :P

indispensible cogs in the machine, thats us shrinks

DrIndy · 05-05-2009 1:54pm

They're following your work ethic mate - you just bust your balls whatever is going on.

Hence you will always work long hours unless everything is humdrum.

TBH - I get bored if my hours drop below 50 per week - I am happiest at 60 per week.

depends on how the 60 are arrived at I find 5*12 ok, 6*10 and I am not a happy chappy

You guys need a hobby.

DrIndy · 06-05-2009 11:42am

In Townsville - 27C, 50% humidity, little overcast but nice.

Got my car, got my temporary gaff.

Also just read House of God again (last did so when I started medicine) - I pissed myself laughing right the way through and I am sure generated consternation amongst my fellow passengers as I spontaenously guffawed.

The book has so many connections to clinical medicine it is unreal. I hope to be the "Fat Man" in my future existence as a doctor.....

missannik · 06-05-2009 4:50pm

I got the job.

tallaght01 · 07-05-2009 4:16am

sillymoo · 07-05-2009 7:42am
