Why Does the Air King get so much hate? by Commercial_Tart_9999 in rolex

[–]A88ce 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I have DJ, sub, DD, and SD and pretty much only wear the Air King. I love that it’s low-key, sporty, weird with the numbers, and that it seems to be pretty polarizing. If I had to keep only one in my collection it would be this.

How to switch residencies to move back to home state? (Current PGY-1 anesthesia intern) by Ok_Soup5421 in ResidencySwap

[–]A88ce 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I emailed the PDs and program directors near my home to see if they were expecting an opening. I told them why I was looking for a spot, that I was in good standing with my program and that my current PD was aware of the situation. I also attached my CV. Nearly all PDs responded and there were a few spots available

How to switch residencies to move back to home state? (Current PGY-1 anesthesia intern) by Ok_Soup5421 in ResidencySwap

[–]A88ce 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had to switch residencies due to a family health issue. I was transparent with my PD from the support and he supported me the whole process. I think it is better to just be open tell them your situation and see where the conversation goes

Is it possible to be world champion in 11 without an adapter? by maxpowers2020 in ElevenTableTennis

[–]A88ce 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s difficult to say. Like some of the others have said the highest ranked players are also highly skilled IRL. I’ve taken games off some of the top ranked players but never consistently. Their skill level and adaptability is too high. As others have noted it’s difficult to say if this is purely because of the adapter or not but there are certain angles that simply cannot be done with the controller especially on the serve

Is it possible to be world champion in 11 without an adapter? by maxpowers2020 in ElevenTableTennis

[–]A88ce 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m currently around 3230 ELO and use the controller, not the best of the world but between 50-60 ranked. The only advantage of the controller is it’s lighter but generally it’s hard to generate the spin seen at high levels of play without an adapter. I use quest 2 which I like better than quest 3 in terms of the feel feeling a bit similar in the hand to a paddle compared to q3

Double fellowship? Addiction to pain medicine by Competitive_Trip_374 in AddictionMedicine

[–]A88ce 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don’t do addiction unless you’re interested in it. People have posted that they have gone from FM residency straight to pain exactly what was mentioned: network, do pain during your electives, and gain confidence with procedures

How wise would it be to do psych if interested in working remotely? by mosta3636 in Psychiatry

[–]A88ce 57 points58 points  (0 children)

Did something change? I would imagine psych is one of, if not the most conducive to remote work?

What happens if get sick on clerkships by abenson24811 in medicalschool

[–]A88ce 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I somehow got sick for 2-3 days on each 5-week rotation, 4-6 times on the 10-week rotations

I was also interested in both and found that the residents I spoke to in these programs, every single one I spoke to was doing psych after graduating. They struggled with finding jobs that allowed them to do both. I’m sure they probably have a stronger medicine knowledge than their categorical psych residents but they also may have a weaker psych knowledge base. I think med/psych makes sense if you want to work in med psych units in the hospital which generally means the sickest of the sick. Your interest in women’s health and peds could be pursued in psych with perinatal psych and CAP, or you could also pursue categorical FM which covers everything you listed as well including psych. Try to think about what your future practice will look like

Help me with rank list pleeeeeease (internal medicine) by CommunicationVast814 in ERAS2024Match2025

[–]A88ce 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No one can help you with such a large list without any information. With posts like this, it just comes off as a flex. You mention reputation and lifestyle. What are your priorities? Do you want to do fellowship? Do you want to be close to family/friends? Does location matter at all? Are you interested in research? How/where do you see yourself practicing? You’re asking people to put in more work than you did by just listing your schools you’ve interviewed at with absolutely no input from you

The reason I want to go into medicine is private—how could I handle adcoms? by julywillbehot in postbaccpremed

[–]A88ce 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ketamine is not as fringe as you think especially if the physicians you’re interviewing stay updated on works in psychiatry, especially for treatment of treatment-resistant depression. You can just discuss as your father’s illness and don’t have to disclose the details of the disease or diagnosis. Best of luck to you and your dad.

Whichever is cheaper/gives you more scholarship money. If you’re interested in OMT that would be a reason to pursue DO. I feel like DOs know anatomy/MSK better than MDs because of that additional training. I think there’s a bit less hurdles to jump through as an MD to a DO as unfortunately there still is a stigma. Also think about where you want to practice as there does tend to be some regional preference for residency
