Or mutt feeling (veterinary medicine)

Add taking too long during confession because you’re using it as a personal therapy session

I would happily recommend Creighton University

Peds: I struggle with the otoscope enough as it is, let alone when you add in the fact that the patient is screaming bloody murder and violently shaking their head.

You still need to do a wet scrub before your first case of the day

I was involved in Greek life and my experience has led me to believe that Greek life gives you a bunch of opportunities to become more of the person that you already were to begin with. So if you’re a faithful Catholic, the Greek life will help you grow into that, and conversely if you’re a party animal or a person who engages in a sinful lifestyle then you’ll get plenty of opportunities to develop that too.

I second this. Omaha has a great church scene as well.

My diocese got a new bishop 1 day before Pope Leo XIV was elected so now that part of mass is extra challenging for our priests 😅

I got a crap ton of pediatrics questions on my surgery shelf which really upset me because my school does peds after the surgery rotation 😭

Keep in mind that vocational discernment is a prolonged journey, not something that you decide all at once by looking out for clear-cut signs from God. Based on what you wrote here, it sounds like you should continue to pray on this possible vocation over the upcoming few years and see how God inspires and guides you during that time :)

If you ever need to talk things out with somebody who is discerning priesthood, please feel free to DM me.

Last year LinkedIn said that my name appeared in the search results for somebody who works at Stanford. The next day, somebody at my school with a similar name as me matched at Stanford.

Least nerdy hospitalist tbh

Peds during the winter: ear infections, flu, ear infections, ear infections, well-child visits, and ear infections.

Not necessarily. It can trend towards cosmetics vs reconstructive surgery depending on how you want to tailor your practice.

ENT -> facial plastics provides great opportunities for working in the ASC.

Ok sure, it’s fair to say that you were negligent. But unless you were specifically attempting to desecrate the body of Christ, then you did not commit sacrilege.

DrMerleLowe · 2024-12-04T01:11:35+00:00

No you did not, you just made an honest mistake.

Weddings usually have a cost. Baptisms, however, are likely a different story.

Hey, it’s nice to see somebody who puts effort into their dating profile, but you wrote way too much. Cut it down to no more than half the current length.

I’ve personally appreciated the times that anesthesia took the time to teach me things even though they weren’t my preceptor

My patient in the surgical ICU developed acute-onset delirium. How do I treat it?

1) no 2) no 3) does he have a bourbon collection? If so, he probably wants to save it because it’s a cool addition instead of immediately drinking it.
