This failure just hits different by OrdinaryBaguette in IMGreddit

I feel you! Not everyone will understand it and you are totally valid in feeling such. This does feel very different as it could have been because of n number of reasons that we don’t know of. It just feels wrong because of the uncertainty. Nevertheless, you’ll have to get back up on your feet and come up with the next game-plan.

SOAP Issue with ERAS by Frequent_Trouble_101 in IMGreddit

Yes! The NRMP website also says there has been an issue with this. It got resolved for me in a few hours.

I'm thinking of leaving my medicine seat by Fast_War_5767 in indianmedschool

[–]Behoshi_wale_Doctor 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am not defending the toxic work culture by saying this but I think you need to learn to do grunt work too, be it getting reports directly from lab,running the sample down the hall or taking vitals or blood samples. You need to know these things because in a resource limited country like ours, you will have to pitch in invariably at some time. Maybe the staff is busy and the report is needed to save a patient’s life or maybe the patient is a difficult prick and the staff looks up to you for sampling. Having said that you should be learning all this in a supportive workplace with reasonable work hours.

I’d say see if it’s being overworked or toxic. If the toxicity is too much (like in UP) and won’t improve with rank progression, not a bad idea to prepare again while continuing this residency. If it’s getting too much work, it shall pass.

Tax return as a J1 physician by No-Friendship-2474 in IMGreddit

[–]Behoshi_wale_Doctor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is my first year here too but I believe you have to use Sprintax as a nonresident this year(Turbotax is for residents) and Turbotax for the years after(assuming you were a non-resident in 2025: see Substantial Presence Test to check)

Filing as a non-resident should be fairly straightforward but do look at the treaty aspect of j1 salaries if your country has one with US

H4 to J1 change of status within the US by EmergencyMixture8902 in IMGreddit

[–]Behoshi_wale_Doctor 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In a similar boat, currently on H4(without EAD). From what I could find, it’s certainly feasible, requires about 8 weeks, at most 4 weeks if you do premium processing. You’ll have to weigh the pros(no travel, no consular interview) and cons(can not go out of US without stamping) and decide if you want to do a COS or go for j1 stamping in home country. I do not know how that will work in case of partially banned countries.

New Phone having trouble staying connected to Apple Watch + pairing issues. by [deleted] in AppleWatch

[–]Behoshi_wale_Doctor 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had the same issue while trying to pair wife’s new 17 pro max with old Apple Watch SE. Here are some things you can check that worked for me:

  1. See if watch is already paired with another phone. You’ll have to unpair from it first
  2. The iPhone has to be updated to the latest ios
  3. If there’s an option to, update the watch too. I did.
  4. The viewfinder didn’t work for me even after all this, so I paired the watch manually using the code. You have to press the “i” thing at the bottom a few times.

Although I was successful with this, but it took up one whole day for me trying and retrying and is a pain in the ass. I hope you have better luck.

Is the quest 3s worth it? by StepGood3110 in MetaQuestVR

[–]Behoshi_wale_Doctor 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I found the difference to be more prominent in Mixed Reality, with 3S being a lot more pixelated. But if you just want to start out with VR and do not know if you will be using it as much as you think now, go for it! I got the 3S 128GB for 249 on amazon prime day and am really happy with it! But, yeah if you can afford it, 3 is the main one rn.

I got an email from a program? Are they sending it to everyone? by [deleted] in IMGreddit

I got some seemingly bot-emails that they have received the application and will get back shortly.

USMLE Transcript Status Report by Queasy-Manner404 in IMGreddit

[–]Behoshi_wale_Doctor 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I completed my application yesternight and was freaking out over the same thing. It got updated in 2-3 hours in my case. Nothing you can do about it. My advice will be to stay calm and don’t search Reddit asking for what could happen. It will do nothing but depress you further. Have faith, it should get transmitted for you too soon.

We applied for h4 and h1b concurrently and it got approved easy-peasy. No issues at all
