Nosugrefneb

I don't know what it means. I'm also sure that I'm probably the only one 
that's not getting the title to nosugrefneb. So far I've managed to make out 'no' and 'sugar.' Fill me in if you can.

Nosugrefneb is a blog by a Med Student at the University of Chicago. This particular student is also pursuing a PhD in Cancer Biology and already has a degree in Molecular and Integrative Physiology.

I added this blog because of it's "Make no sense and write random posts" approach to blogging. But also because I never said that this Blogroll of Medical Student Blogs should be limited to just blogs by medical students with posts solely pertaining to Medical issues and subjects.

You gotta have the whacky and wierd too.

Prescriptions from the Bad Doctor

I'd like to wish everyone a Happy/Belated Christmas (and early one for the Ukrainian Xmas people out there [and others])

Prescriptions from the Bad Doctor is run by The Bad Doctor in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. Now, Bad Doctor may have a cool picture, but unfortunately ladies, he's married...but don't dispair, the blog is still well worth it. Bad Doctor writes posts about Ethics Classes, poem included, as well as personal experiences about Dayquil et al.

One post really caught my attention and I cannot describe it as I have yet to experience it, but maybe the following may help convey my thoughts on the post. An Unwilling Consult:

To him, at that one moment, I was an insider source on the secrets of human life and death, and my juvenile opinion held the weight of the world. I can say with all honesty that I did not relish that position, and do not look forward to facing it again in the future.

Angry Medic

The Angry Medic is a blog based in Cambridge. It's worth checking out even if you're only into looking at pictures, the header is pretty cool. Angry Medic has a variety of posts, most of which are funny and poke medicine in that special way (that makes you giggle :) ). Angry Medic displays his dismay for lack of theme music when one enters a ward in their white coat among many other interesting posts.

I keep trying to convince others that we Med Skule students do indeed have lives. I link to posts full of supposedly real facts of people doing things, but we finally have (or had some) hard proof of this theory. Angry Medic reveals and provide(d)s tangible evidence of this. Kudos to him!

And of course there are the classical posts about a med student's journey through med school. I have to put down the whole title because I like it so much. Good Nursie! Here, Have a Biscuit.

Of Short White Coats and Stethoscopes

Of Short White Coats and Stethoscopes almost instantly reminded me of a post by another blogger, one of the first that was linked from here actually, and his post where he explains about the Respect Line and a white coat should majestically flow beyond this line if a med student (or doctor) wants respect from his/her patients. But that's another blog.

Of Short White Coats and Stethoscopes is written by Calavera in London, UK. Calavera writes about her adventures in med school, such as when she Chinwagged with the Hotshots of the Emergency Medicine world at the CEM or the Dumb Things She's Done Today. And some posts are just so full of thrill and suspense that you can barely stay in your seat because that's how bad you want to study medicine.

And of course, it's not all about medicine. The underground in London also has it's spotlight on Of Short White Coats and Stethoscopes.

Anatomy Notes

Anatomy Notes is by Brad Wright from Salt Lake City, Utah in the United States. Before Brad converted to a Medical Student he lectures at the University of Utah School of Medicine. More specifically he taught anatomy to med students. (now here's a lesson to be learned, you stick around long enough with someone and you're bound to turn into them. This goes for all you future psychiatrists... ;) ).

Brad makes it fun and interesting to read about a first year student in medicine. His posts are simple and to the point, yet are written in such a way that they truly get your attention span. If you're not in med school (or if you are and would like to be reminded of those fun first-year times) than Anatomy Notes is a wonderful read. Posts of note: Beer Bellies and Lives, Brain Myths and Facts, Duodenal Design Flaws, and Nipples (now that sounds interesting, doesn't it?)...

There are many more, but the only way to find out is first hand.

The Underwear Drawer

The Underwear Drawer is a blog by Michelle who seems to have an infatuation with...ummm...underwear ;) (but I'll let you find out the real reason, it's on the blog, just gotta look for it)

Michelle is currently in first year of residency training in Anesthesiology after switching from two years of Pediatrics. Don't look at this the wrong way, she still loves kids.

An interesting thing is Michelle's comic, Scut Monkey. Med Students and residents have barely enough time to eat, much less to keep an up-to-date blog. But this one has out-done most, a comic stip for crying out loud! Awesome.

Michelle is quite normal inspite of all the above. Currently she's picking a Christmas Tree and "Mommy Blogging" lately which re-affirms my belief that there is hope for a normal life after med skule :)

Traumaroom

A while ago I posted Traumaroom up but never really gave it a review. So I'm going back and fixing old mistakes as it does deserve an introduction here.

Traumaroom is "a rookie doc's rants and raves" by Samip Dattani, a doctor is who a surgical intern. It has quite the repertoir of interesting tidbits, such as a very simple way to decide on specialization and a post on Friends and Foes. However, the blog isn't only about fun, games, and laughs, there are posts that draw attention to issues revolving around medicine such as You Think Med School is Tough, Eh! and concerns about Dynamic Medicine.
