With the exception of the hours between 9am & 3pm yesterday, when I went home to shower & sleep, this has been my view since 3pm Wednesday afternoon—yes, Wednesday. I think I officially have squatters rights in C1.

For any of the current MERP and/or future Ross students who follow me, I highly recommend the “Clinical _______ Made Ridiculously Simple” series of books. They are written by practicing physicians/medical school professors and give you the boiled down, high-yield info you absolutely need to know. The respiratory physiology we’ve spent 14 lecture hours and ~150 slides on was condensed to 9 pages total including pictures and graphs.

I’m pretty sure I shot this in the library 2 days before our 2nd “Mini” exam while on a 14 hour bender in the library. When a test is worth 25% of your grade in a block and covers something like 1200 slides worth of info in Gross Anatomy, Micro-Anatomy, Embryology, Radiology, Pharmacology, Physiology, Histology, Cell Biology, Genetics and Biochemistry you take your caffeine any way you can get it.
