No need to post if it doesn’t fit the theme of your tumblr but I would love to at least personally share with you! A comedic and period positive short film about the rough relationship between a woman and her personified period! Thank you so much for the work that you do!
What is so fascinating about books is that they tell ugly truths dressed as pretty lies
PLEASE EMPLOYMENT JELLY
Not risking it all I want in my life is a job I actually like
Sure why not, I’ll try anything at this point
i have an interview tomorrow!
this question is for TNQD: I just started medical school last week, and while I’ve been quite caught up with things for the most part, I just feel completely lost when studying for gross anatomy. How did you organize your studying? Do you have any tips or advice on how to go about organizing all the muscles/bones/innervations/blood vessels? I never took a formal anatomy course before and I don’t want to get behind. Thank you!
Hey friend, sorry for this delayed response. I hope it doesn’t find you too late and you can still get some benefit from this advice.
First of all, get some good anatomy resources. I am partial to Gray’s Anatomy for Students. However, if you only get one book get the Anatomy Atlas by Gilroy.
Here are some free resources. The University of Michigan site has some great clinical vignette questions that really helped me. The SUNY Downstate website has some good photos, of actual cadavers, that also helped quite a bit. Finally Nabil Ebraheim has cheesy, but awesome youtube videos that cover a wide range of musculoskeletal conditions. Here are a couple other resources:
http://www.kumc.edu/AMA-MSS/Study/anatomy.htm
http://www.anatomyatlases.org/
I think an important part of learning anatomy is to realize its interconnectedness. There is a temptation to compartmentalize anatomy. You learn the brachial plexus, then the upper arm, the the forearm and hand. But rarely do students sit down and trace out how the subclavian artery moves from the aorta all the way to the hand. This is a shame because that is how many of the questions will be asked, especially on boards. Students try to learn anatomy from tables listed in books: here is a muscle name, its innervation, its blood supply, and its action. I find that absolutely boring and cumbersome.
I think you can learn anatomy much more efficiently by learning it in context. The dermatomes in the leg may seems confusing until you look at the embryology of the leg and how it rotates during formation. The same is true for the bowel and its blood supply. The more your understand things in context of how it was formed and the structures around it, the easier I think it is to determine how things might go wrong.
Here is a good example question: where are the three most common places for kidney stones to get stuck in the ureter? You might first think, “jeeze, I didn’t learn that from the tables in my book. How will I figure this out?“ The answer is anatomical logic.
In the body where do things get stuck? That’s right, where there are angles. Chances are you learned about the ureters, the kidneys and the bladder - but did you study them together? What about in context of the pelvis? If you had you would know there are three places where angles occur in the ureter. Where are they?
Right - the renal pelvis, where the ureter passes in front of the sacrum and the entrance of the ureter into the bladder.
Anatomy is much more logical than people give it credit for. The forearm muscles that everyone dreads? They are named for where they go! Easy-peasy!
So how do you tackle anatomy? Look for the logic. Don’t try to memorize tables - understand how embryology, physiology and anatomy meld together. When I figured out how to do that it made life so much easier.
My final tip is drawing out the structures. Really spend time making sure you understand the parts enough that you can draw them. They don’t have to be great drawings, you just need to know what is on top, what is on bottom, etc. When you know the relationships enough to draw them, they you have a good understanding of anatomy.
I hope this helps. It’s far from a simple trick or tip, but hopefully it directs you to seeing anatomy in a new way.
All the best,
TNQD
Awesome advice! And I also used many of the resources listed above.
Anatomy was really tough, so don’t feel bad if you are struggling in some parts.
Copying drawings from Netter’s worked for me (with everything colored and label to my inner art geek’s delight). I would also take the structures list for the lab practical and beside each structure write myself ‘directions’ or something else that would help me remember it.
Finally, I wish I had gotten tutoring earlier in the semester. Seriously, pay for it if you have to. It’s so worth it. Spend hours in the gross lab going over the structures on different bodies. You will be very smelly, but it will pay off come the practical portion of the exam.
Good luck!
Netters. Worship Netters. And go to TA hours in lab. MANDATORY.

The Truth Behind Stereotypes
While preparing for my next patient I read in her previous note that she “..is a Vietnamese immigrant who works at a nail salon.” I stifled a laugh as I recalled Dat Phan’s comedy bit on the Vietnamese taking over the U.S. one foot at a time. I mentally scolded myself as I tried to dismiss my racist stereotype. Yet, you cannot deny that this is one stereotype that frequently plays true.
She smiled as I entered the room, remaining patient as I fumbled with the pronunciation of her name. After exchanging pleasantries we discussed her reasons for coming in: a lingering cold and a skin lesion. I noted that she had missed multiple appointments prior to this, failing to get follow up labs from over a year ago. She blamed this on her busy schedule, caring for two children and working full-time. For providers the chronically busy patient can seem as frustrating as the chronically sick patient.
Next we proceeded into her exam. The stigmata for bacterial infection were conspicuously absent. I described my findings to her, watching her mood deflate slightly when I explained that antibiotics would not help. I continued to work my way down her body in a systematic exam, explaining as I went. As I came to her hands I winced. The skin was thickened, dried, and cracked. My hands began to hurt in sympathy.
“Tell me about your hands,” I said.
She responded in deeply accented English that her hands became like this after working with the nail chemicals all day.
“And do you like this job?” I asked.
“I hate it,” she responded. I continued to inquire why, if she hated her job and it hurt her skin in such a terrible way, she did not seek other employment.
“In my country I was a nurse. But here I would have to start schooling over. It would take twice as long because I would first have to take English classes.” She continued to explain that when coming over, many Vietnamese people worked in nail salons because that is where other Vietnamese people worked. In other words, it was one of the few places they could get a foot in the door as untrained workers who barely spoke discernible English. Suddenly the Dat Phan comedy bit seemed a lot less funny.
“Why come to the U.S.?” I asked. “If you were a nurse in Vietnam, why immigrate to a place with few job opportunities.”
Her answer? She makes more here as a nail technician than a nurse in Vietnam, meaning she can send money to her family at home. And being here gives her two teenage children a better opportunity for employment as they grow up. In short, this woman gave up a job she enjoyed, to work in conditions she hates, in order for her family to have opportunities she never could.
Long after I wrote her note and sent her on her way, my Vietnamese patient lingered in my mind. Interestingly, the more I thought the more I realized she did fit into a stereotype, although I had placed her in the wrong one. Perhaps it is partially true to think that many Vietnamese immigrants are nail technicians. But I think the better way to look at immigrants, in all flavors, is with the lens of selfless hope they often bring with them, rather than the employment circumstances they often find themselves in. She, like the most tremendous among us, gave up her life goals in order to propel her family into a new socioeconomic class. That to me doesn’t fit the image the media promotes for immigrants, but rather the image I think of when I see working class mothers struggling for their family’s sake. And I think that stereotype, an example of the best that people have to offer, is a stereotype I can live with.
…deep!

Looking for perfection, as Americans do, is a lack of self-confidence. I’m always surprised how guilty women feel not to be perfect. It must be hard to live every day.

It’s insanely thorough and after reading through every page on the entire site it’s super helpful. Go check it out!
No no no! Jewish LGBTQ kinderlach! Go to Keshet!
hoperemains is completely from a Christian perspective, and not pluralistic or interfaith at all.

Trans Jewish kids, you can go to TransTorah as well!
