I was so excited and overwhelmed with joy when my copy of the “Board Review Series: Physiology—Cases and Questions” arrived this week. It is a book with case studies of patients and how it relates to the basic sciences (first two years of medical school) and specifically how it relates to the physiology for the first two years. All of the testing in medical school is in multiple choice format and this book is in short answer essay format. It is the most fun I’ve had in a long time. It’s like playing doctor. For example, last night I read about poor Melanie who had traveler’s diarrhea (more scientifically, she had Escheichiae coli with the enterotoxigenic toxin.) She got dehydrated which messed up her electrolytes. My job was to figure all this out. It was super fun! I am such nerd. I considered working on this case file (which is over topics for my final) as a study BREAK! Yup, I’m a nerd.
Well, I spent seven hours at the library on Friday, 11 hours at the library Saturday and almost 12 hours Sunday. I’m off to school to do a 200 question “pre-test” before the final today. Just another fun day in Miami, but I’ll be home before I know it! I’m sure I’ll be freezing my tail off!!
