This 3rd year med student (I'm a 1st yr) profferred the above theory but the cause doesn't seem to be 'officially' known. It seems very mysterious to me, but then, I have zero clinical experience.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05563329042104337144noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31146535.post-7450231424025366322007-06-02T12:44:00.000-04:002007-06-02T12:44:00.000-04:00type (little) a~ Yes, I meant circumcicions.

Not my favorite thing, for certain.<BR/><BR/>hi Nancy~ Yes, guiness girl is my long lost (well, not really lost, more like haven't seen in person for a few years) college roomate and procrastination soulmate. She is every bit as awesome in person as she is on her blog. It *is* funny that you've randomly read both of us separately. I think that must mean that we would get along wonderfully. :) Thanks for reading.<BR/><BR/>GG~ awww. Thank you! Mwah. :)<BR/><BR/>anon~ Oops, sorry for touching upon a sore subject.

Especially when I scope patients with minimal implants who have significant, and at times debilitating, pain. <BR/><BR/>It was a great party! I promise to do the meme on Sunday...yes I know it is almost a month old. :)<BR/><BR/>brandoncfi~ Hee. Yes, thanks to Mickey Mouse Clubhouse and Dora, we get a few more snoozes...the intervening dreams can be really trippy, though!<BR/><BR/>Dawn~ Thanks so much for keeping me updated, I can't imagine how stressful this must be for you. Keep educating yourself, it is so important for good communication with your physicians. Praying for you and your family!<BR/><BR/>Hi Erin~ Thank you! I am so glad that you enjoy the blog, and I am trying to update more than once a month! Good luck with your pregnancy, and thanks for the owl link. I heart owls. :)<BR/><BR/>scarlett~ Yes, I'm still here. I had Hacker and Moore for a pretty good comprehensive med student OB/GYN text. Blueprints was good for quick review, and you can't beat Pretest and Appleton and Lange for review questions. <BR/><BR/>Sorry, but I can't even remember the peds texts I used! Is there such thing as Harriet? I think between the walking pneumonia I contracted during the rotation and the fact that I am ancient, I have blocked it all out. Hope this helps and good luck!dr. whoo?https://www.blogger.com/profile/10315615480530297472noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31146535.post-8219019100517835892007-05-31T16:43:00.000-04:002007-05-31T16:43:00.000-04:00Hi there,I'm not sure if you check this anymore bu...Hi there,<BR/><BR/>I'm not sure if you check this anymore but I'm starting my Ob/Gyn rotation next semester and was wondering what the good textbooks to use were? I'm looking for something that is easy to read yet comprehensive?

Hope that all goes well with your pregnancy, and since you like owls so much, here is a link to a really neat picture and story about orphaned owls in England. I love owls too, they just have great faces!<BR/>http://www.dailymail.co.uk/pages/live/articles/news/news.html?in_article_id=452482&in_page_id=1770Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31146535.post-84870574578048963212007-05-21T09:32:00.000-04:002007-05-21T09:32:00.000-04:00My nice OB must almost cringe when I come in. I c...My nice OB must almost cringe when I come in. I came armed with questions, and I told her (cannot believe how stupid I am) that I read a lot about trisomy 18 and even what my levels mean...implying obsession on my part. She said she understood why, but that I sounded like I was on the edge a bit ( I think she means the edge of going too far here). I do know based on reading that a trisomy 18 positive screen means a high rate of abnormal pregnancy outcomes, not just possible trisomy 18. I don't see why it's wrong for me to know that. I am not really scared anymore, I feel prepared for a birth (as best I can be) with a baby who might not be healthy, a baby that might make the nurses and my OB uncomfortable. I still know my chances are high for a healthy baby. I don't know it all (wish I could) but I know as much as I can considering the peri leaned on me and kept me from amnio (I don't blame him, I could have pushed...but went with his advice). My last appointment went alright, despite my nervous acknowledgement of my new medical education. I had gained 11 pounds (after loosing 3 last time) and my OB was so nice about it (since at about 24 weeks I've gained a total of 17 lbs). I ate like a nervous wreck this last month, and now I'm slowing that down! When I brought up a sonogram, she was great, saying she had a plan already. I get one last sonogram (if all looks good) at 30 weeks. I will only do amnio if needed based on what is seen on that screen. I think three good sonograms will make my chances great for holding a healthy baby. Of course, I am sure the peri and my OB think I'm going overboard with all this. Still, I am a mother. I have five kids at home to prepare for whatever happens, and my own heart to ready. If I learn, I can deal with reality when it hits. I actually think I will cry harder if the baby is healthy. The nurses are going to think I have ppd!<BR/><BR/>Dawn (jawndoejah)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31146535.post-61737697057815803062007-05-17T03:31:00.000-04:002007-05-17T03:31:00.000-04:00Swiper no swipyMy 2.5 year old daughter loves Dora...Swiper no swipy<BR/><BR/>My 2.5 year old daughter loves Dora and I thank Noogin for the extra 1/2 hour of sleep I get when my daughter watches the showbrandoncfihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05836907954960991117noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31146535.post-36302709898338119472007-05-16T18:35:00.000-04:002007-05-16T18:35:00.000-04:00Aaaaalso... you've been tagged for a meme!

I have been reading Red Red Whine's blog for a few months now and she cracks me up. Anyhow, I was reading it today catching up on a few posts and she wrote in a recent post that you were her college roomate. Is this true? Anyhow, I just thought I'd drop a note and say, what a coincidence that I have randomly read both of your blogs and you are friends and past roomates.
