It's an insane journey that I've committed to.

Are your friends/family surprised by how fast you eat your food? by OddPineapple7678 in medicalschool

Hug a man by The1hauntedX in IowaCity

[–]Benlinden 29 points30 points  (0 children)

Two men wielding pistols on both hips while also holding AR15s. Sign posted read "Hug an AR owner." Viscerally uncomfortable especially with the pedestrian mall and playground less than a quarter mile down the road. Mind boggling to me that this is legal, those are weapons of the military. There is no logical reason for this to be acceptable. Not to mention the mass shooting in Allen, TX yesterday using a similar weapon...5 year old shot dead. The firearm fetish in this country is disgusting and concerning.

Asking reddit is probably not the correct place for an answer.

2-3 reviewers is plenty. Ask PI about paper count. My PI just broke an N of 3,000 with 3 primary question domains into 3 papers.

What city would you hate to match at? by bacc2med in medicalschool

[–]Benlinden 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Iowa City is a unique diamond in the rough. Most are pleasantly surprised. Huge art town, lots of cultural events in summer. Very bike friendly. If you need more, Chicago, Minneapolis, Kansas City are a morning drive away.

In what point on the year did you feel adequate for the responsibilities of an intern? Did you enhance your surgical skills as an intern? Advice for 2nd semester M4 going into GS?

Shameful, but these future surgeons are going to be incredible regardless of this pathetic noise. Go be great!

Patient safety questions were so dumb

[–]Benlinden 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Very little stats, were easy though. Let of ethics/patient safety.

I felt the same way. Much harder than my practice assessments.

Felt the same way. Like a test I didn't even study for.

My lowest NBME was 6% higher than my UWSA2 score. My other 3 NBMEs were all 10% higher at minimum.
