A few good quotes and random facts Saturday, September 23, 2006 |

"No practical intervention, however, is currently available that will increase the maxium potential life span of humans."
no kidding.

"I give it two pollicises up!"

When Donald Trump fires someone, he only uses 1 musle in his arm to EXTEND his phalangeal joints and FLEX his metacarpal joint. Fingers flat, flexed where they meet the hand. Meet the lumbricals ladies and gentlemen.

White Coats! Thursday, September 21, 2006 |







The White Coat Ceremony took place this weekend. It was a lovely ceremony, packed with proud parents, relatives and friends. It was a great way for family and friends to see what we are embarking upon, to get to know Dartmouth as a school and to see what we hope to stand for as doctors.
I am posting our class mission statement below. I believe it really speaks to what our class stands for. Also, there are a few pictures for your viewing pleasure... Sarah the roommate is in the first one. Sarah the friend is in the other. And the whole class is in the third. Mom and Dad are thrown in there too! Enjoy!

Mission Statement of the Dartmouth Medical School Class of 2010:

We have come to this small town from different places and from many cultures. From our diversity will come novel solutions to the challenges of today and to those of tomorrow. Together we embark on the course of our medical education with the common goal of developing trusting, equitable relationships with our patients—relationships built around advocacy and patient autonomy. We will advance medicine in our own communities and around the world by continually working to improve our own practices and to expand our knowledge, by conducting scientific research, by creating just health policy, and by advocating for what we hold to be a basic human right—that all people deserve access to the best healthcare possible, regardless of ability to pay.

Throughout our careers, we will remember that achieving these goals depends on maintaining balance in our lives. To that end, we commit to ourselves, to our families, and to our class, that we will strive to live our lives as we practice our profession: with humor, grace, and compassion.

"If there's blood, it's you" Friday, September 01, 2006 |


We had our very first anatomy lab this week. Working in groups of 4, we disected the back of our cadaver to reveal the the latissimus dorsi, the trapezius the cervicular splenius and the serratus superior posterior muscles, to name a few (see pic!). I was amazed at the amount of fat that is everywhere during a disection. I suppose that's why my professor refers to parts of the anatomy lab as "grease free". It was truly an amazing experience... And I didn't even mind the smell!
