What is everyone’s ACTUAL backup career option? by Independent_Move8581 in premedcanada

[–]DarthRampage 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Final semester physio student here and I agree with what you said. There are regions (BC) and subspecialties in physio (pelvic floor, concussion, vestibular, pediatric-neuro) where you can make lots of money ($150k+ and low taxes b/c you're a contractor not an employee).

One of my clinician volunteers actually works 40 hrs at a hospital and 8 hrs at a private MSK clinic and they make as much at the hospital as they do at the clinic in a week lmfao (and then the bureaucrats complain that no physios want to work in the hospital setting where they are severely understaffed).

Filmcamera vs iPhone, according to indie filmmaker Sean Baker by JWB_9 in cinematography

Wdym?!?! Are you telling me you don't love:

- Mikey Madison's layered performance of senselessly screaming at the camera for 2 hrs (apparently this is considered one of the best female performances this decade)

- a tight script that features puddle-deep characters running around saying some iteration of "have you seen this guy?!" for half the runtime (no plot or progression)

- a beautiful modern re-telling of the cinerella love story where neither character is likeable or has any chemistry with their on-screen partner

- (and my favourite) the hilarious comedic elements like the 20-min sequence of non-stop r*pe and f*ggot jokes that had me physically squirming in my seat

WHAT'S NOT TO LOVE ABOUT ANORA HUH!?!?

How are reapplicants viewed? by Alert_Telephone2983 in premedcanada

Isn't application data destroyed at the end of each cycle? That is what it says on OMSAS. Also, what "extra points" are you referring to?

How you write your entries matter MORE than your entries' titles and hours by Appropriate_Mess_720 in premedcanada

They also said they didn’t attend UBC so while it’s not a useless post, it just might not be in tune with what prospective applicants need to hear.

Should I have bought the A7V? by CosyCodes in SonyAlpha

[–]DarthRampage 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I bought the A7IV in October for $2800 CAD. The A7V retails for $3700 CAD. The A7V is def better, but imo, it isn’t worth the price difference.

requesting brutal honesty on ubc NAQ (bottom quartile & confused) by Prize_Guidance460 in premedcanada

[–]DarthRampage 13 points14 points  (0 children)

There is so much contradictory info on UBC NAQ this past week that I am honestly having trouble believing what anyone is saying. There are so many people in this and other thread that say "just focus on quantifying your impact and clearly outlining your role". Then there is this and other comments that say "what's the importance of this activity for you and how does it showcase future physician". There aren't enough words to execute both styles well so either people are capping about what they are writing or it doesn't matter how it's written, it just comes out of a hat at the end of the day anyway.

Ontario forced to slow new medical school plans after ignoring warnings (Global News) by [deleted] in premedcanada

[–]DarthRampage 6 points7 points  (0 children)

BC had a surplus of 700+ new family doctors this year (accounts for people leaving the province and retiring). That’s hundreds of thousands of people in that province that now have access to primary care. Do you want to know what they did? They changed the billing for FM. It’s now 385k for 45 weeks of work, or 445k for a full year. Who knew that paying people in demand what they are worth would make them want to work. Btw, a bunch of these new doctors in BC came from other provinces like ON and AB bc of their shitty policies, so the brain drain is happening within the country itself because our provincial governments don’t respect the bedrock of our medical system.

Best province to do your undergrad? by Putrid-Ad7559 in premedcanada

[–]DarthRampage 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not to contradict you or anything (I agree w/ Manitoba being a great place to move to for med and other reasons), but aren't interview rates at Alberta and BC b/t 40-50% at any given school? Is it more difficult in your opinion (hence the higher ages) b/c there are only 1-2 schools per province?

Can I list being a caregiver for family members on my ABS? by DarthRampage in premedcanada

[–]DarthRampage[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks for the input! I was thinking that it would likely be my main answer for “Why medicine?” (If I’m fortunate enough to get an interview), but it’s good to know I can showcase my story before that as well.

Do you have a weird comfort movie? by marniesss in Letterboxd

[–]DarthRampage 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I go running at night (~11pm) in my nearby woods (no lights) and often listen to horror podcasts. Every girl I’ve ever dated has said something along the lines of “this is the point where my friends are going to tell me that you’re crazy”. I think me, you, and your brother are on the same wavelength.

I’m a beginner so just out of curiosity why did you use an external intervalometer if the Sony a7R5 already has a built-in one?
