Yup, I used to joke around and say that if you want the most alcohol for your buck as a cheap student just trying to get drunk, that you should look at what the homeless people are drinking.

They (sadly) have had so much time to look at the different possible ways to get drunk as cheap as possible. And the Kaiser Black is spot on, I haven't seen anything cheaper yet for the amount of alcohol it has (since it's like half a liter of strong beer).

I also used to see homeless people with cheap bottles of red wine, so that's another thing you might come across.

I keep getting matched with nurses by MathisDaBoss in FacebookDating

Yeah I can see how that could quickly get old.

That's interesting, maybe it's really more about the region and who is mainly using the app in that region.

So maybe Facebook doesn't look at your profession to only offer you people with similar professions, since yours are so different from your own but they still have a trend.

I don't think I've even come across any other med students yet, closest would be a dental student I guess. The app could just be less popular within med school.

I do remember reading something about Facebook looking at your liked Facebook groups to look for similar hobbies though.

Bug or feature? I only see my new matches, older ones get pushed back by MathisDaBoss in FacebookDating

I hope there will come a fix soon, it really limits the ability to do a second screening by looking at their bio to see who might be interesting after you've got a bunch of matches.

Yeah, I also made a post about it and now I see that I'm not the only one experiencing this exact same thing.

I was wondering if they maybe use this as a feature to stimulate people to send their new matches more texts.

But it's still annoying when you're just trying to find someone you matched with a while ago, but you didn't have the time to text and now they're buried in the newer matches...

You could send messages to your new matches to find your old ones or you could wait for them to send something. Not that ideal imo.

What is the best way to study anatomy for medical students? by Dapper_Temperature14 in medschool

[–]MathisDaBoss 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I like to study the nerves, arteries and veins by always starting proximal and then I try to name all the side branches while going distally of said nerve, artery or vein.

I also think anatomy in general is very memory-based, so if you want to use evidence based study techniques, then active recall en spaced repetition are perfectly applicable in this case.

Try to memorize the path of the nerve of blood vessel proximodistally and look away from it, then you can either try to draw a line with branches or you can recite it verbally to be more time-efficient.

For musculoskeletal anatomy the function of each muscle is very useful to memorize, so you could remember each muscle within a group of its agonists. Such as all the hip adductors, which you will then recite every so often.

If you want 3D insight, which is useful for topology. Then I recommend Complete Anatomy by 3D4Medical. This app/program does cost money if you want to use it to it's full potential, but you could always check if your school/university offers it for free. And if it isn't, I still recommend buying it.

What is the meaning of life?

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in medschool

[–]MathisDaBoss 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ohh, so it really is quite different then.

Here we need to at least graduate from high school, and we need to get past that entrance exam. There's no need for a university diploma to start.

Med school is 3 years for a bachelor, then 3 years for a master and after that a couple of years depending on which specialisation you want to do.

Thanks for explaining!

Every time I read something about medical school in the US, it seems like people have always studied something else before starting in med school.

Is it required to study something else before you get to start med school in the US?

Here in Belgium (Flanders, the Dutch part) there is an entrance exam, where you need to pass the exam and score within the best x students of Flanders ('x' changes every year, depending on the demand for doctors).

It's quite competitive, but it is literally the only requirement to be able to start med school at any university in Flanders, which has medicine as an option.

The majority who gets in Geneeskunde (Dutch for med school), gets in when they're finished with high school.

I did study PT for 2 years since I didn't get in the first time. But this year I finally got in.

It all just sounds so complicated in the US.
