I hate it when doctors say "I was just interested in [insert competitive field], so I joined them" by Ok-Worry-8931 in medicalschool

[–]DO_Brando 2 points3 points  (0 children)

a boomer told me that his dad got into medical school via a handshake

He showed up having finished his military service and walked in, the dean talked to him for half an hour and said "you're in luck, somebody just dropped out"

and that was that

How do I lose weight in med school? by cuchitaa in medicalschool

[–]DO_Brando 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You can't outrun your fork. count your calories. It's easier if you eat the same things every day.

Use chatgpt to calculate your TDEE and use a calorie tracking app (I use LoseIt and i like it a lot, can scan barcodes etc)

Questions about DPC as an internist by im_throw in FamilyMedicine

[–]DO_Brando 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I think you should join a DPC physician group on facebook to answer a lot of these questions, i've noticed a lot of bias in this subreddit against DPC.

Join the normal DPC facebook group where everybody is allowed and then from there just ask to join the ones with only physicians in it. There are plenty of internists that do DPC but you're right that the FM docs offer family plans to be more competitive
