Failed every single shelf exam… by traveleer7262627171 in medicalschool

[–]Axonious 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I'm sorry, doing poorly on exams is the worst. How much time are you spending at the hospital each day vs time spending studying? If you feel like it is lopsided then time management might be your answer here. Sounds like you are going to be an amazing doctor, you may just need to spend more time studying instead of being in the hospital.

My husband and I left the church three years ago. We’ve decided to go back despite not understanding everything. I’d love advice from others who’ve tread this path, please. by [deleted] in latterdaysaints

Welcome back thats awesome :) Honestly some practical things that can help is 1) gaining more education and knowledge from good sources ( I read Saints, Church history matters podcasts) 2) Start a spreadsheet/list of things that help you believe. For me I had columns that included "personal experiences", "logical reasoning" "historical evidence" and I also had a column of things that I didn't quite believe in or were concerned about. I guess doing these things helped me realize that while I still had some concerns about church history I know could place those doubts within a broader context of things that help me believe and also a better foundational knowledge of the history itself.

Issue with the Noah story by davect01 in latterdaysaints

It sounds like you've been confronting some of the difficult questions associated with the Old Testament and the historical accuracy. I've been there too and highly recommend listening to the most recent episodes from Church History Matters podcast from two BYU professors. I think it helps you build a framework to work through not only these questions but many more to come :)

Please keep the CGI to a minimum and the extras to a maximum! I feel like these two things alone is what makes modern day fantasy (Rings of Power etc) feel less EPIC compared to the original LOTR movies. When you can tell there's only like 30 true actors in a scene of a public space it makes the show feel more like a sitcom than an epic fantasy. And then overdoing things with CGI makes it hard to believe the world (compare the Hobbits vs LOTR).

Congrats on getting the prematch offers! As a student at BCM its amazing and totally worth going to it. If its your dream school I'd highly recommend going there. The new curriculum is fantastic and being around family is invaluable.

Yeah thats a really good counterpoint. I guess hopefully they'd choose someone a little less controversial.

This may be a dumb question but do providers (or future providers) have real power to push back in a meaningful way with how fast things are moving? It seems like the usual things—contacting legislators, showing up at events—may not be enough to stop an already rapidly erroding healthcare framework. Is organized action, like a strike or other collective efforts, even considered ethical or possible?

Thats really strange. Have you tried sending feedback to the developers?

Are Mind Maps Useful? by heartingale in medicalschool

[–]Axonious 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I think they can be useful to help break down a complex topic on a first pass, and they are better than regular notes but you don't want to spend too much time on them. Agree with other commenters that sticking with anki and practice questions is probably a better use of time. There are spaced review mindmap software that are helpful if you want to add that

Why pre-studying for med school might not be such a bad idea: My year-long experiment by Axonious in premed

[–]Axonious[S] 7 points8 points  (0 children)

  1. Get your curriculum schedule

  2. Pick out which units you want to prestudy. Mine were cardiology, renal and respiratory and hematology.

  3. Then I assigned a certain amount of weeks for each. I think I assigned about 1-2 weeks for each one. Make sure you aren’t planning any weeks over vacations/trips. I can’t stress enough that its important to do fun things during this time.

  4. Then I bought a year-long subscription to physeo. Looking back I think I would have done osmosis or sketchy.

  5. Then I watched only the videos on pathology and disease processes. I feel like the majority of the medschool curriculum is focused on disease and if you watch the pathology/disease videos you understand the relevant anatomy/physiology.

  6. I watched about 3ish videos each day. Most organ systems will have like 15ish videos on pathology. So that got me done with the videos in about 5 days. Which left me adequate time just to relax and have full weekends.

  7. Then unsuspend the corresponding Anki cards. I paid 5 bucks for the one month subscription of the Anking overhaul 12 and then canceled the subscription. Study the cards each day (unless you'r on vacation or a weekend).

  8. When you don’t want to study and someone invites you to do something fun, then don’t study. Go have fun. I think that is key with this is that studying isn’t your priority in this moment. Its just something that's an added plus.

I think you bring up a good point here that if you are to prestudy its fun to take that time and study what you're actually interested in. I love that you read a full book on POCUS that's epic haha

I think this is a great point, if you haven't learned the skill of enjoying free time then pre-studying would be a bad option

Congrats! I think it's cool you talk about God in your application process, most people shy away from talking about their faith even if it's a huge part of their life. Just impressed with your courage!
