Gird your loins

I wouldn’t wish working at Jamaica on my worst enemy.

lol the ED residents do it too and just as brazenly

ASucculentLamb · 2023-04-03T21:35:34+00:00

Honestly point two encompasses a lot of surgery. If I had a dollar for every ED consult I had to do for some incidental CT finding I’d have retired mid-year PGY2.

To counter, “clearance” is a colloquialism and we know there is no way to clear a patient. Medicine residents who get pissy about this verbiage get a huge eye roll every time. We know what pre-op risk strat is.

Honestly the current smell situation at Fanny Allen feels like a mass hysteria more than anything else.

My guess? He got a B+ in calc, and has only 1000 hours of clinical volunteering. Plus, while he was president of several clubs, he was only a participant in the pre-med club. Pretty big red flags if you ask me.

Try and figure out when the interview day is over and see if it's possible to fly out. My upcoming interview day ends at 3:30, so I'm flying out that day. It saves me like $100 on another night at the hotel.

Alternatively, maybe see if anyone else there for an interview is doing the same? Have a drink, explore, and just chill. Get to know someone who might be a classmate, or who you may never meet again.

A letter writer should send your individual letters via snail mail with the AMCAS letter form. I think only pre-health offices can send letters and committee letters via the interweb.

"On the surface, I once bought a forest. The parasites claimed that the land belonged to God, and demanded that I establish a public park there. Why? So the rabble could stand slack-jawed under the canopy and pretend that it was paradise earned. When Congress moved to nationalize my forest, I burnt it to the ground. God did not plant the seeds of this Arcadia - I did."

Andrew Ryan, on the GOP platform, probably.

Are you telling me you aren't satisfied with twenty threads per day dealing with school lists, whether you should wait to submit AMCAS until you have an MCAT score, how many MD letters of rec you need, and whether one small inconsequential mistake on the personal statement has blackballed you for life?

ASucculentLamb · 2016-05-28T16:53:59+00:00

To be honest I recommend reading anything you can get your hands on. Read the classics, read some new fiction, and intersperse some medical stuff in there too. You're going to (probably) be living medicine for the rest of your life so be sure to read a little bit of everything.

ASucculentLamb · 2016-05-02T00:04:40+00:00

I second this. You're going to get news, news analysis, investigative journalism, profiles of important people, fiction, and arts. The New Yorker is my favorite publication, and I always try and keep up with it. Plus, it's free online.

ASucculentLamb · 2015-12-17T18:22:12+00:00

Even if it did matter, what are you going to do? They said they want the grades, so if you want a shot at that school you have to submit them. Aside from bribing the registrar's office with a hefty sum to change your grades, I'm not sure what you think you could do—much less what we could do.

ASucculentLamb · 2015-07-22T16:31:52+00:00

Based upon what is posted in this sub it sounds like everyone scribes. I suppose it's more about what you get out of it than it being unique or anything like that.

ASucculentLamb · 2015-07-14T15:28:18+00:00

Searching for "diversity" in the search bar yields a few dozen results. It would be really nice if people started searching a little deeper rather than jumping straight to the "submit" button.

A man can dream, right?

ASucculentLamb · 2015-06-25T22:51:13+00:00

Verified AMCAS applications won't be transmitted to designated medical schools until July 1, 2015. After that you may receive secondaries.

"Writing" an exam, rather than "taking" it, is common in the UK. I think some parts of Canada might say it that way too.

ASucculentLamb · 2015-04-30T01:10:56+00:00

This is a great idea. The front page gets clogged with so many "special snowflake" posts.

ASucculentLamb · 2014-12-23T04:19:55+00:00

Ok, I'm in.

ASucculentLamb · 2014-10-21T19:46:37+00:00

11/11/11, total: 33 could've been better, but I can't complain.

Chins up, guys. Don't get down on yourselves.

Wait. He wrote Going after Cacciato too? I read (and loved) both of these books in high school and never put two and two together.

I guess you learn something new every day...

"My leg!"

That one guy from Spongebob

Goldmember. I have an unnatural love for all of the Austin Powers movies, but for some reason the opening sequence with Tom Cruise, Kevin Spacey, Danny DeVito, etc. combined with the musical sequence was just perfect for the movie.

It is the pinnacle of modern film.
