MATCH 2010 SYNDROME........….
Frustration with Malignant hypertension and excessively raised Intracranial tension. Frequent palpitations with occasional skipped beats. Unresponsive to therapy.
Associated symptoms: Lack of concentration, hyperphagia (I wish anorexia would be a symptom), mood swings, feeling of guilt, (no suicidal ideation....!)
Excessively peeping into "2010 match" community and not to mention the number of times opening 'My ERAS' for new messages. Occasional night terrors.
Associated risk factors: Step 3 in the very near future.
Aggravating factors : Rejections. Lots of IV calls for fellow IMGs...that too with same creds.
Alleviating factors : at least acknowledgements.
Defenses employed: Denial and rationalization after seeing the rejections. Introjection after seeing IV calls for the fellow IMGs.
Vitals : seemingly normal.
General examination : the patient is disheveled , unkempt and a bit agitated.
Execessively drowsy (even after daily long sleeping hours).
Management:
High doses of IV calls for induction.
Good interview performances for maintenance.
and a Prematch for remission.
Innate immunity : Being an American med graduate.
Acquired Immunity
Active immunity : a)naturally acquired - by doing some USCE
b)artificially acquired - by having some contacts.
Passive immunity : a) naturally acquired - Green card or Citizenship
b) artificially acquired - no more than sheer luck.
P.S. chances of relapse at the time of getting into a fellowship. |

I nominate you as a candicate for Nobel Prize in Medicine 2010.
You are the first person who discover and describe systemically the "Match Syndrome".
I encourage you to further study "Post-Match Syndrome", which may win you one more Nobel Prize. |
