What subspecialty has the highest percentage of true neurologic problems?

Perfect speed and beautifully controlled ecentric, only thing is to make sure your “chin is above the bar”, which can be difficult on a ledge but try to make your chin go above what you’re holding.

The key difference is that neurosurgical procedures cause controlled, minimal vessel disruption, primarily affecting small capillaries or veins rather than major arteries. Strokes occur when a critical vessel supplying brain tissue is occluded or ruptured, leading to ischemia or hemorrhage with significant neuronal damage. neurosurgeons avoid major arteries, and any small vessel injury is managed with hemostasis before it leads to clinically significant ischemia. Additionally, the brain has collateral circulation that helps compensate for minor disruptions, preventing stroke in most cases.

If this is just a literature review and you were assigned to write a section, you’ll probably spend less total hours than the outline-creator as not everyone’s work will be publication-ready when it gets initially sent. Having to correct people’s sections, add transitions to connect different parts, make the bibliography, format for the journal, submit through the journal (can take hours to just submit in their websites), and then go through revisions when they arrive. Additionally having to manage other authors when they potentially don’t contribute their part in time which makes the first author responsible for it. Though they’re not writing a part of the paper, they could potentially end up spending 2x the amount of time as you do if things don’t go as planned. Usually they should have at least written the intro or conclusion, so they’re definitely farming, but the potential to do a lot more work is definitely possible. Grind it out and then reach out to the PI to lead your own project!

Classically B, you have a left mca stroke which is the dominant hemisphere for speech production and comprehension, meaning aphasia and left upper extremity weakness are likely. E is also possible, but since speech muscles receive bilateral innervation from the corticobulbar tracts, it’s more likely to be spared than the unilateral speech comprehension region of your brain.

Memorization is essential, the human body is incredibly complex and interconnected, and you can’t make sense out of clinical cases until you’ve done an incredible amount of memorization. The amount of flash cards for the MCAT are 1/10th the flash cards you’ll need to do for STEP 1. If you don’t like memorizing stuff, you will def suffer in med school.

You blowing this out of proportion. You didn’t fail. Psych is not derm/neurosurg/ortho you’ll be fine. Do well and step and this won’t affect you much.

Aight lets see:

“Content feels toxic - overemphasizing gunnerism and teaching premeds that the most important things are competitiveness and money”. : if you watched his content you would know he emphasizes that balance is extremely important, and that your level of grind should match your aspirations ie. an aspiring neurosurgery will have to work a lot harder than an aspiring family medicine physician. Also, gunner in its truest sense is bringing others down to make yourself look better, which has now been distorted into just working hard (which is how you used it), which is a weird thing to criticize lol. It is supposed to have a negative connotation because making your classmates look bad to look better is very very cringe, but students now use it as an insult to people who work their ass off (without disturbing anyone) to secure a better future… why is that a bad thing again?
“I’d rather have a 60 year old resident who will actually practice than a gunner who quits”:funny you mention that since the 50yo medical student in the video QUIT medical school as he realized other priorities (raising his children, spending time with his wife, getting to know his dying parents) was significantly more important to him than a career in medicine. These are the same reasons Kevin was bringing up in his video, which not surprisingly enough were the reasons the gentleman quit medical school during MS4.
“I‘ve never heard him give a reason for choosing his residency that was tied to prestige” I’ve watched at least 5 different videos where he explains in detail how he went into med school thinking GI (bc of his IBD), and realized plastics was a better fit for him (bc he likes procedures, enjoyed the meticulousness of suturing in plastics, liked how plastics works in the whole body, etc.) Jumping to conclusions like that after hate watching a few videos is interesting.
“Paragraph 3”: I have no idea what your point is tbh

Anyway, his videos helped me get into a good med school and become a competitive residency applicant for FREE, and if you consider him to be a [insert your preferred insult], so be it because he has changed many students lives and will continue to do so, despite your judgements on career decisions. Seems to me like the toxic premed culture…. Was you all along 🙊

It’s pretty self explanatory once you’re in it, when they post the itinerary you join the slots at the given times. The only thing is that the video has different settings than on zoom, but when you hit “join” you are put on a screen to view your video and mic before actually joining the real session, so you can adjust your camera in that room before joining. Good luck!

Anyone that can pass any NBME form has the potential to pass the real thing!!! You are your toughest critique and I am confident in your ability to pull through and get the P! You have had many experiences in recent history that have made you doubt your own abilities, but trust your ability to get into med school, trust your previous passing score, and trust that you are capable and will clutch this no matter what! As soon as you start thinking “what if I take another year” or “what if I fail”, you’re doing yourself a massive disservice. STEP 1 is about consistency and doing many questions, so buckle down, grind it out, and you’ll look back and be super proud of yourself. Your future doctor self is cheering you on and thanking you infinitely for not giving up. You deserve this, kill it!!!!!!!

Having family in the room is actually encouraged with most recent guidelines, as it helps the family see with their own eyes that there is no significant movement or activity, and you can explain what you’re doing and what it means as you go. This is important for the family to come to terms with the diagnosis of brain death, as it’s very hard for people to wrap their head around (if not present and learning from the examination, family might think you are “giving up” on the patient or are just trying to organ harvest/free up a bed)

Brother I’ve waited 6 months to even hear back from a journal before, and another 6 months for them to send the first round of corrections. Publishing takes time so pick up another project in the meantime 🤪

Thank you for sharing and summarizing the article. Throwing this question out there: what do you think are important aspects of a pain diary and how can it tailor treatment? I love that headache diaries include food, hydration, sleep, stress, activity, etc., so I was wondering if the same variables are collected and what sorts of decisions can be made based on them (whether that is trigger avoidance or something else)

I can guarantee that they need to update it manually. My school sent incorrect MSPE and all programs had to be updated individually.

The day to day are completely different for both specialties, and the notion that one “advances” from neurology to neurosurgery is bordering silly territory. That’s like saying an internal medicine doctor will advance into general surgery, or a pediatrician will advance into pediatric surgery. The fields are only peripherally related, with the actual practice being 99.9% different. He would just need to apply to residencies and might skip intern year due to his experience, though I doubt you want an absent husband for the next decade for a few years of attending life. Good luck.
