Patience.

i could do any number of fields (and rehab medicine is easy to get). but the one i want to do, radiology, is difficult, as i've found out.
i thought i was set, though. had the numbers, grades, UW's a decent school, etc.
i ranked 8 programs. according to page 118 from this pdf http://www.nrmp.org/data/chartingoutcomes2007.pdf listing last year's outcomes, my chances were 36/39, or 92+%, that i'd match.

He's is going to secretly fulfill his true desire..........You could always give up on that dead end and come design helicopter parts with me. Weagle turned me down.
damn. sorry to hear that Toshi.Crap. Got the email.
Didn't match to internship or radiology.
This means I scramble for an open internship tomorrow then reapply for radiology next year, to smaller programs.
Not good news at all.

Sorry it isn't going well. That really sucks. Is there anything you can do to get the passing grade posted sooner?working at a "normal" job to pay the bills, and reapplying next fall/winter.
horrible.
Well now you have something in line which is good. Think about it this way, with the surgery elective you'll be seeing all the crap for real that you'll need to be able to see from images when you get to the radiology deal. PLUS that's one less year your nuts will be exposed to high doses of radiation. That's gotta be a good thing."normal job" would have been outside of medicine. maybe use that CS degree of mine again.
i won't have to do that, however. assuming i did indeed pass that one rogue exam (retook it 2/20/8, scores should be back within the month) i have an internship lined up: UW preliminary surgery for 1 year.
either the scramble works out for radiology (it's still ongoing) or i'll have to reapply to the field next year.
this is much better than not having anything plus i get to stay around seattle another year, but it's going to be a tough year. UW surgery == hard core and lonnnnnng hours.
FVCK YEAH!!!DMG, i failed the standardized patient thing by not reading the first aid prep book. it's not done quite like a real clinic visit, and i didn't know this and got hammered for it.
DRB: radiology starts 2nd year anyway, so i'm not missing out on any radiation.
the big news is... that i scrambled into radiology after all!
Nassau University, Long Island.
so from july 2008-june 2009 i'll be here in seattle doing a preliminary surgery year at UW, then from july 2009-june 2013 i'll be out on long island doing radiology.

But think of the chicks he'll score!You sure it's worth it?
while i'm no longer so sure i want to do brain research specifically, that's the path i took.me said:My focus has always been on the inner workings of the brain, and this focus has led me to choose radiology. I initially became interested in neuroscience as an undergraduate, drawn in by the question of how complex behavior can arise from a vast network of elegant, simple circuits. After being involved with an fMRI/TMS/EEG project investigating regions of co-activation and -deactivation in judgment vs. perception tasks I considered pursuing graduate studies in Cognitive Neuroscience. Ultimately, I decided that medical training would offer me the most freedom in working with people. Once in medical school I considered neurosurgery, but became intrigued by the possibility of studying the brain in a non-invasive manner using complementary structural and functional imaging techniques. Thus, my academic interest in the brain led me to radiology.

people who want to become doctors go into their chosen fields for strange/secret reasons. my sister wants to be a reproductive endocrinologist. why? i have no idea.Why radiology?
LI is worse than NYC in the accent? i did spend the first 9 years of my life in manhattan, after all (that's one of the things on the "stuffwhitepeoplelikes" blog btw, manhattan++).Nicely done. You know you're going to develop gnarly accent.....you'll pronounce it Lawn Gisland....drinking co-wawffee....
You sure it's worth it?
