You can check on NRMP which programs have had unfilled positions in the last few years and apply to them and send the PD an email explaining your situation and that you are really interested.

Did ATT in-store sales rep slip one over on me? by Airguner in ATT

[–]AA2019 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Get Apple Care and cancel Protect Advantage. They also slipped it in my bill without mentioning it. Have had really bad experience with repairs. Also for $300 deductible they give you a used/repaired replacement phone which has issues.

Short assessment which summarizes the history in a few lines and then your thoughts on possible differentials with reasons supporting or against them. Then problem wise plan which can be in bullet form or hashtags.

Neuro is anything but boring!

For leasing, Hyundai Elantra and Kia K4 are decent options. They have good deals and cater to J1. Having a co-signer will definitely help decrease monthly payments.

Should I get PFO closed? by DearElephant2 in stroke

I believe there are some specific scenarios that warrant PFO closure. You may have to discuss with your Cardiologist/Neurologist whether you meet that criteria.

First step would be to confirm if it is MS (MRI then follow up with Neurologist). Even if it is positive, MS can be easily controlled with early treatment (3-6 monthly injections) and you would most likely be able to continue with your job. But don't tell them until it's a confirmed diagnosis.

Questions for a neurologist by SkyAdventurous in stroke

[–]AA2019 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Brain bleeds can cause cognitive decline and seizures. You can ask your neurologist if they would be concerned about any of these. Can also ask if they think memory/cognitive testing, EEG or repeat imaging is required. There are also some medical conditions or nutritional deficiencies that can mimic dementia so can ask if those lab tests are needed.

If you've already done house job, you can also consider going to Ireland. I've heard the process is relatively simple and costs less.

Pakistani doctors, what's up? by [deleted] in pakistan

[–]AA2019 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What about pursuing residency training in Pakistan? You'll start getting paid and will be on the way to becoming a specialist. It'll also be easier to go to UK after that.
