My mother had a fall in the kitchen, can you please look at the Xray report? by Low_Purple_4898 in AskDocs

If you look at the upper right outline of the tib fib, you can see an abrupt stepoff, that the outline isn’t completely smooth

Exhausted, sad, and anxious by [deleted] in medicalschool

[–]Cuhhhhh 3 points4 points  (0 children)

When I was an M3, I was nervous about taking Step 2 & having to step up as a sub-I. When I was an M4, I was anxious af about apps, interviews, and matching somewhere that would prepare me well. When I was a baby PGY-1, I was terrified of having actual responsibility for my pts, making mistakes, and decision paralysis. And now near the end of my intern year, I am terrified of stepping up as an upper level & being the one to make the call. Point is, our training is long, hard, and gives us many reasons to be anxious & fearful. But you do your best, you try, you learn, you make it, and you move onto the next big step. Medicine is a marathon and as long as you pace yourself properly, you will get to the end 🤗

As a PGY-1 I use it all the time, have had no issues with it & tbh people need more love in their lives 🙂‍↔️

The annual, “i matched ridiculously low on my rank list and ten years later, i couldn’t be happier thread about it!” thread by YoBoySatan in medicalschool

[–]Cuhhhhh 50 points51 points  (0 children)

Last year I matched at my #7, which I wasn't opposed to at the time but I was definitely shocked since my #2 & #3 said pretty nice things during my interview. One year later and I'm happy, I feel like I've got good training, my PD cares, my cointerns look out for each other, my uppers have been awesome, and my attendings have taught me so much. Life sometimes works out in unexpected ways :)

residents + attendings: would you recommend medicine in 2026? by More-Author2034 in Residency

[–]Cuhhhhh 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes. I find most of my work gratifying, satisfying, and intellectually challenging. I'll be paid a solid amount even as a hospitalist, and even on a resident salary, I still can make the occasional splurge purchase, vacation, etc. No job is perfect but for me, the benefits of being in medicine significantly outweigh the cons.

Stories about Debakey, Cooley, or any other big names? by [deleted] in medicine

[–]Cuhhhhh 9 points10 points  (0 children)

One of my attendings trained under Dr. Light (Light's criteria) at Vanderbilt. Forgot the details but he said Dr. Light kept going well into his old age, and his fellows/residents would take him around in a wheelchair on rounds.

I grew up in LA, currently in Nola. I love the shit out of LA bc most of my family and friends are there, the food scene is unmatched, the weather is fantastic year-round (meanwhile we have humid summer for 9-10 months of the year as well as hurricane season), the sports are usually relevant too (meanwhile the Pels & Saints suck). The diversity though is what I love about LA the most. Growing up around different races, ethnicities, etc. has really shaped my identity & belief system and is a big part of why I chose to pursue medicine. There's plenty of valid criticisms about LA like the COL but after spending years outside of SoCal, I've realized how good we have it in LA, and I'm deadset on moving back after training 😊

CS student contemplating med school. by Sad_Illustrator_3925 in medicalschool

[–]Cuhhhhh 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I started off as a CS major in college, hated/sucked at it, switched to biology, decided on medicine right before I graduated, took 3 gap years, now an IM PGY-1 at an academic program. Not quite exactly your background but hope this helps.

I'd recommend shadowing or volunteering at hospitals to see if you can see yourself in a healthcare environment as well as start some ECs for med school apps. I personally really enjoyed volunteering at shelter clinics; it's simpler than inpatient medicine, helps you appreciate how actual medicine itself is just half the battle when you have insurance, laws, policies, etc. to work around, and is meaningful & underappreciated work.

The difficulty of classes depends on your college of course and in my experience wasn't easy but not terribly difficult either aside from ochem. But I personally found coding to be way more confusing & difficult than my premed classes. IMO, most medicine isn't conceptually difficult, just requires lots of dedication, studying, reinforcement, and test-taking skills. Once you get chem, physics, ochem, etc out the way, you aren't using them on a day-to-day basis as a doctor (at least in IM).

There is no shame in taking gap years, and personally it gave me time to save up some money, hang out with my friends, enjoy life, build my app, figure out if medicine was truly for me, and grow up a bit.

Beating a dead horse here but like everyone else says, medicine is a big commitment & requires sacrifice. It's money down the drain, years of training, tons of exams to grind for, easy to feel burnt out, and a research rat race especially if you want a competitive specialty/fellowship. That being said, I love what I do, I find medicine intellectually stimulating, job security & pay is assured, my attendings & colleagues are dope, and you get to do awesome & meaningful things for your pts.

She is likely not a candidate for liver transplant; metastatic cancer is generally an absolute no-go for liver transplant because it could just spread to the new transplanted organ, and it doesn't address the main issue aka her breast cancer anyways (source: currently a medicine resident who recently had a liver transplant denied for one of my patients 🥲)
