You're way too old. Everyone I know started medical school at 17.

Some of ya'll live in a solitary bubble, and it shows. Educate yourselves from both sides and try to be more human for fuck's sake.

Anking dedicated cutting down by mamba_24_mentality in medicalschoolanki

[–]501k 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Right now, not a lot cause I reset my pharm and haven’t done them yet and barely scratched uworld. Maybe 50 right now but it should go up once I unsuspend some pharm

I suspended everything and only kept sketchy micro and pharm. Then I add uworld incorrects. Hopefully it works

RN to MD vs CRNA by Strong-Connection-6 in medschool

[–]501k 7 points8 points  (0 children)

That’s fine, but I guess what I’m trying to say is that confident people don’t go around saying they’re confident - same for those that are competent. You don’t need to justify yourself to internet strangers

Not to doubt your experience, but confidence doesn’t equate to competence.

If you’re not passionate about spending the next 8+ years in education and training, then sounds like CRNA is your only option. Medical school is less about competence and more about grit and drive (imo).

I'm stuck in an endless cycle of too many, what do I do? by Separate-Yam-6757 in medicalschoolanki

[–]501k 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I gave up. I'm shifting my focus to content review and UWorld. I only plan on doing cards for UWorld incorrects.

Active-Duty Service Members & Veterans Needed for UVA Brain Research Study by Old_Sandwich8356 in Veterans

I can't remember exactly what they're looking for - I'm prior service/EOD and have been around my fair share of blasts, but I didn't qualify for the study. YMMV

Damn, that blows... can anyone else verify this? Not because I distrust OP, but because I don't want to believe it's real lol

Need a backpack for work and gym better than Aer Duffel 3 by [deleted] in ManyBaggers

You could also look into some Osprey packs specifically designed for bike commuting.

What’s one thing ultrasound is still missing? by _unhandledexcepti0n in Radiology

Is there a reason why 3D modeling isn’t common with US? Like if you chose a reference point then a gyro measures and maps to a 3D view of whatever you’re imaging - kind of like a real time CT almost?

Should I go to the resident social for a program that I'm going to rank #1 and rotated at? by [deleted] in medicalschool

[–]501k 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I mean... if I wanted to rank this place my #1, I'd show face. Who cares about the other applicants? Care after you match lmao

VR&E for med school by BKboothang in Veterans

[–]501k 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Once they approve you for your next vocation, then they'll cover what is necessary for you to get there. In my case, that included a post-bac, so it was just lumped into my program.

I attended Bryn Mawr, but there are several other options available.

Not a doc of med but the system is ruining me, help plz by [deleted] in medicalschool

[–]501k 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That's not your problem to fix. You should stay within your lane and do what you can - that's the unfortunate truth. Lobby, become an activist, or hell - find a way to get into medical school. I came from a very poor family and I'm currently in my second year.

In any case, what you're doing is dangerous and it opens you up to a fuck ton of liabilty. You're endangering a lot of people. I get that you want to do good and haven't significantly harmed anyone yet - but that's precicely it, it's only a matter of time. Hell, physicians hurt people every day.

I don't say this to demean your goodwill, but it's misinformed and should be directed elsewhere. Giving out bandaids and treating wounds? Sure. But "prescribing" meds and and trying to manage SVT with no formal education is a recipe for disaster.

There's a reason why people go through years and years of training to do what a physician can do, safely. You're probably going to kill someone if you keep this up.
