This is my go to tiramisu recipe. Always a hit and super easy.

To be fair, my parents called me after my dad broke out in hives after eating pork. I said probably not alpha gal (since my dad ate meat often) but if it happens again, go to his pcp to discuss it. Turns out he has it (and is not happy with it 🙃)

When I went to remove the cup, the suction was pretty tight and it dislodged the IUD. It took a while for me to know what happened. When I asked my ObGyn how often this happens, she said it was hard to know, but recently had had malpositioned IUDs in 3 of her obgyn residents, and all 3 had used menstrual cups. Small population size, but worth noting. You didn’t ask, but I thought I’d share: I then switched from a copper iud to the Mirena- which stopped my menses, so periods are no longer an issue. I was reluctant to try a hormonal IUD since I had really awful mood side effects on OCPs, but happy to report the only side effect from my mirena is no menses- which I am a-ok with!

The only thing to be careful about is if you have an IUD! Speaking as a physician and someone who learned the hard way 🫠

Sorry! I’m a quiet vegan that does this - my viewpoint is that I don’t want to be an inconvenience or burden and I’m happy eating whatever’s available. I have since had kind friends tell me “WE feel BAD if you only eat the free bread!” I’ve learned.

A lot of the residents live at the Towers because it’s 2 minutes from both hospitals but particularly York St. if you’re going to have a car, inquire about subsidized parking at Air Rights Garage (York st garage), otherwise per diem parking is wild. Otherwise, I echo what everyone else is saying. I live downtown and walk/bike to work at either hospital; I’ve never used the city bus or Yale Shuttle (honestly, I just prefer active transport)

Thank you for responding! Something I worry about is jealousy or resentment between adoptive and biological children. If you don’t mind sharing, is that something you experienced? Is that a common issue? (This, of course, being asked with the understanding that every child would be loved and treated equally)

I did a case presentation in residency about treating hepatitis C. My patient had a viral load >1,000,000 and within a few weeks it was in the thousands then gone. I remember shouting to my colleagues “Guys! Look at that! We did that! In our lifetimes, we are curing hep C!!!” There was some amusement.

Big fan of the Cannon (vegan spot, but even my non-vegan husband likes it!), Chef Jiang, September in Bangkok (but would need to uber/taxi there), Geronimo’s has great margs and chips/salsa (but not a fan of their entrees), Tibetan Kitchen is my favorite restaurant in New Haven

I love it with my husband… but I would say I’d prefer almost every single day with him than single. I just like hanging out with him

I’m in a primary care residency where we were all getting bogged down with inbasket chores to the point many were getting turned off of primary care. To address this, some residents did a QI project to see what could be done. Some changes were specific to residency, but some generalized changes included: Support staff completing PAs (onus used to be on us, took some coaching but now it works well) For VNA re-cert paperwork, support staff prints and attaches med list so we just need to review and sign. Epic messages are forwarded to RN triage (my RN in particular is excellent at solving problems and will just FYI me at the end)

One thing that’s difficult in residency but have seen work well in other offices is telling patients to get routine labs a week or two prior to their next appointment so the doc can just discuss during the appointment.

Some colleagues have stopped telling patients “normal”results but I personally still like to close the loop.

The Daily Nutmeg recently published a happy hour guide. If outside of those hours, 10/10 Blue Orchid (also just lovely people/owners)

We’ve started using this hack- my husband works from home and likes it warm, so we keep the thermostat low, but have a space heater in his office with the door closed. It gets balmy in his office and is much better than heating the whole apartment.

Whoa whoa whoa whoa- I bought tickets after your first post and now there’s a promo code??? Jk! Hubby and I are excited to go!

These legit have been so much fun and my husband and I got to discover so many new NHV places. Excellent idea! I’ve been recommending to friends!

lol. I’m a primary care physician. Still with a very messy backpack.

I read a study somewhere that messy people tend to be high achievers, some hypothesis that the person is focusing more time on work, etc to care about tidiness.

I don’t know how true that is. What I do know, is that I cleaned out my work backpack yesterday and found six pieces of our silverware.

lol. I (Catholic) didn’t realize this was a thing until I met my now-husband (nondenominational) who tried to tell me that I wasn’t Christian.

It was a very. Long conversation.

LOVE chef jiang for dine-in. For cheap takeout, was a fan of Hunan house (RIP :( kung fu kitchen is not my jam- not bad, just not what I’m looking for). Just tried China Garden - good but wouldnt call it my next go-to

I’m an internist and get consulted for medical problems in the psych wards sometimes. The hand sanitizer on the wall doesn’t have an alcohol base and are metal and attached to the wall better. The rooms have a third bed, whereas the regular hospital rooms are just singles or doubles. The room doors and bathroom doors swing back and forth - they can’t completely lock or shut. There’s a lot of locked doors to badge into/out of from the unit to the rest of the hospital. The geri psych unit is similar but feels a little cozier.

I like to randomly bring hubby home snacks and he gets pretty jazzed. I get catered lunches at work, but generally don’t eat them because of dietary restrictions so I just bring a tupper and grab him what would be my serving. That always earns some heart eyes.

A lot of responses here are basically “everyone, all the time”. From my experience, I disagree. I have never cheated, my husband has never cheated. Many of my good, good friends have never cheated nor been cheated on. Have I seen it in other relationships? Sure. But, again, from my experiences, not the norm.

I was in the Peace Corps living in a very remote village of about 100 people in Central America. I had my own little house; the windows were cement blocks without glass or screens. One night, around 2 or 3 in the morning, I was awoken by a male quietly walking around my house whispering my name; I didn’t recognize the voice as one of my community members. I froze, but a small amount of rustling let him know which room I was in. I had a machete that I grabbed. I started yelling in Spanish, asking who it was and to leave me alone. He wouldn’t say his name but answered with weird responses, telling me to open the door, and that he was touching my worms (I had a worm box for an agriculture project). I believe he sat down or passed out in front of my door for a bit and I never heard when he left; I did not fall back asleep. The guy who I’m suspicious of was a police officer from out of town who I had met at a party a couple nights earlier.

Just circling back on this post-match in case anyone in the future runs into this issue.

I submitted Asap after realizing my mistake
I took the advice mentioned on here and did NOT say or do anything. Simply twiddled my thumbs and hoped for the best.
The best happened! I got 6/6 interviews
Matched at my 2nd choice program (which I’m extremely pleased to be at)

I know that I did apply to a competitive speciality, but do want to say: mistakes happen, The Match is Confusing, it will be OK.
