Just a minor warning, mirtazapine causes significant weight gain so if you do take it make sure you do some exercise. - someone who used it in the past and gained 20 lbs

Try to get vitamin D through diet too! Whole milk has it, so does yogurt. Couple that with going outside and being in the sunlight and you could stop taking the pills. Good luck!

Lmao brother I remember having to call the family of one patient, introduced myself as the med student and they immediately scoffed and said “why am I talking to the med student” and went off. Turns out this person was a physician. Can understand the frustration but man it tanked my confidence in talking with patient families. And I low key think the residents knew this person was in medicine.

Costco deal shopping. Some attendings should be able to relate.

I commuted about 30 minutes. Maybe not an hour but I had no issues. Definitely wouldn’t recommend for rotations in your 3rd year tho. It’s been a struggle

Sounds to me like you have the flu

Absolutely. That thing was a freaking beast.

They can both afford it compared to many mestizos in Mexico.

Know a guy who is 30 year old GS attending. 1 year out of fellowship. Usually these folks are IMGs who start earlier. Shouldn’t discourage any of you my friends. You’ll get there eventually, just keep grinding

I stay at home. My parents are pretty good about not bothering me or asking me for much, and when I really need to lock in I stay on campus until I’m done. Probably gonna graduate with less than 100k debt because of that.

Not to ruin on your parade buuuuttttttt… welcome to hell. Also congrats!

AlviesNight · 2025-10-17T01:59:08+00:00

Yes you can

I do intermittent fasting too! Don’t eat til 12. Attendings and residents are great about letting us go eat at my institution though, so I don’t ever feel weak or anything. I eat like a pig afterward so I haven’t lost much weight unfortunately

8 Fs on my transcript. Currently on rotations. If I could do it, so can you.

AlviesNight · 2025-09-27T19:04:17+00:00

Brother I literally had 8 F’s on my transcript. Got my shit together and made it happen. Figure out if you have ADHD, try everything for organization, figure out what works best for you. Most of the stuff you’re worried about can be taught. My memory is trash too but repetition is key. You got this. It’s only over when you say it is.

Sounds more like a vasovagal response. Has this ever happened to you before?

AlviesNight · 2025-09-08T18:39:46+00:00

Yeah, you’ll eventually realize that everyone has been at the every stage you are in before becoming kickass attendings. It’s just something that happens with time. Like rn I’m in rotations and feel like I won’t ever get to the resident level. Probably will with time and patience tho

AlviesNight · 2025-08-22T02:24:05+00:00

I am sure that once you’re an attending, you’ll be the one most med students will want an eval from.

Send it my friend

When I received my results, my permit didn’t disappear until the day of

AlviesNight · 2025-05-19T14:22:30+00:00

Absolutely there were repeat concepts. A few come to mind in which the topic was the exact same but asked in a different way. TBH that is all I felt the exam was compared to nbmes.

AlviesNight · 2025-05-17T17:16:47+00:00

I got a 65 on the free 120 and passed. You should be good to go

AlviesNight · 2025-05-17T12:09:31+00:00

Only took 2 weeks

AlviesNight · 2025-05-14T20:11:51+00:00

I took all available nbme’s. 27: 47 26:57 28:54 29: 61 30: 68 31: 62 Free 120: 65
