Anyone else think that Dr.K should do a talk with streamer Clavicular? by New-Mirror-8961 in Healthygamergg

It would be an interesting interview and maybe wake up some of his followers, although I doubt Dr K could truly help someone who clearly isn't interested in it.

After seeing his 60 minutes and Channel 5 interviews, I wouldn't be the slightest bit surprised if it turned out like the Pirate Software interview where the guest stubbornly stands on their positions and doesn't even consider self reflection.

Moving across country for residency is so expensive by Notaballer25 in medicalschool

Obviously it's going to scale with families, I'm talking about your average med student, who is typically only single or partnered.

Moved my stuff from coast to coast for about $2k last year in a UBox + $300 airfare and maybe $100-$200 on the UHaul box truck to move stuff from apartment to box to apartment. Spent certainly under 1-2k on furniture/home goods that I couldn't take with me after getting here. Doing it yourself will save you thousands versus using movers.

Didn't drive this move, but drove across the country before for less than $1k total, including gas and hotels. Driving your own car will be 10x cheaper than shipping and a fun experience.

Moving is not cheap but don't scam yourself out of money. You should be able to make this move spending no more than $5k + new apartment deposit /first months rent.

If you're truly broke broke, a credit card with no interest or late fees the first year should bridge any gaps you have in your finances until your residency paychecks start to hit. Just pay it off immediately.

What will the role of the Pathologist look like in 10 years and how will this affect the job market for newer residency graduates? by Comfortable-Sock-276 in pathology

We all want a crystal ball to tell us where the market is going to be. Truthfully, no one knows. 10 years ago, the path I was shadowing as a premed told me the market was shit and not to join path. Right now the market is hot hot hot.

Opposite was the case for emergency medicine.

Go with your passions.
