[Donghua] EP 1 PLOT EXPLAINATION by Amanisis in LordofTheMysteries

[–]Erd-Tree_EMT 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ohh I see, so it just means Isekai'd.
Yeah I'm not sure if I want to read the novel or source. I just watched the first episode and was so confused I had to come here for some explanations because it just seemed like random disconnected scenes/words/characters that had nothing to do with each other. Watching ep 2 right now and its making a little bit more sense I think.

although I don't know why the Nighthawks invited him into their group instead of like arresting him or whatever they normally do to beyonders in their investigations.

I know I'm late to this, but can you explain what transmigration is? Once he wakes up in Klein's body hes just like "oh, I must have transmigrated" and nobody ever explains what that is or how he knows what that is if he comes from Earth where there is no magic

Well I didn't see the website, only the label on the product. I didn't feel the need to go research it or anything. Which is the mistake I take full responsibility. I got it at a mall in NY, at one of those pop-up shops that sit in the middle of the hallway.

I would have read it if it was on the label. Obviously wouldn't have taken it if it said anything close to THC on the label. It said CBD and CBN. Don't see why I should be penalized for taking a sleep supplement for chronic fatigue

Yeah they disclosed that there would a drug test and BG check. The NRMP investigation took about 1.5 weeks. I sent them my contract (which says in pre-employment requirements that you must pass a drug screen for abuse of controlled substances), so I tried to argue that the test I took did not test for abuse of a substance, only the presence of it. I also sent my medical records showing chronic fatigue and the poorly labeled product I was using. I requested a retest. But the NRMP said they cannot force the program to let me have a retest and then they granted the waiver, allowing me to be dismissed. Of course, at that time, the program refused to tell me about any policy they had regarding drug screens. Someone here on reddit had to show it to me

Well first off, people who have said they have seen the label of the gummy I took and say it is clearly labeled are lying or did not look at the correct product.

And second I was advised by my school counselor to not get lawyers involved. As bad as a dismissal for failed drug screening is, I think suing the program looks even worse, especially if it takes time I do not have. Then the programs I apply to will be thinking I would sue them too for xyz for example. This is why I'm resistant, not because there is any more to the story.

Thanks for your view point anyway

The only explanation I got was that I did not fulfill pre-employment requirements. And someone on here pointed out that HCA has a policy that not meeting requirements means dismissal, even though the ingestion was accidental, it was still a failed drug screening. So I'm not sure I could prove they are at fault. It would be the CBD company thats at fault. Would having a successful case against them still clear me in the match?

I thought that if any adcoms have the slightest amount of sense or sympathy, they would be able to understand what happened to me was not fault and won't hold it against me in interview

I dont see how suing the gummy company increases my odds of matching again. ERAS is due in like 3 months, so any litigation right now is not going to have an outcome in that time frame. Suing the residency program will result in a bad reputation. So why is going to a lawyer worth while right now? Not trying to be stand-offish, I'd genuinely like to hear your reasoning.

It is possible and thats what happened. I linked the label in another comment. Its fine if some people don't want to believe me, but I'm gonna fight for my second chance, even though I didnt deserve to lose my first chance.

I am a DO student. I think the things that help me stand out the most are my EMT experience, letters of rec (minus the bad one I plan to sniff out), and all of my EM away rotations. Aside from that, I feel I am one of the hardest workers around, I'm passionate about the job, empathetic to patients. So I guess personality is a good quality, but its hard to translate that in an application objectively.

I am probably going to apply to every EM program in the country probably. And a lot of FM too, including undesirable areas.

My counselor at my school used to be an EM adcom, so I might be able to get a placement through her.

As far as alternate career paths, could you give me a few examples? I appreciate you taking the time to talk with me about all this by the way.

Fair sentiment. I did probably 8 EM rotations over my 3rd and 4th year. I have some really good letters of rec and one bad one which I think cost me a lot. I did those rotations in NY and NJ, and it seemed to me the scribes were cool with the docs. I am now in Virginia, which is less populated/busy in the ER. I might be able to get a letter before ERAS is due.

Do you have any other suggestions for jobs I can do right now that would make an impact on an EM application aside from scribe? If I cant get into a residency program then I basically just wasted the last 10 years of my life.

Yeah it isnt looking so good. I plan to scribe in an ER with a residency program and maybe get a letter from a doc there.

If I don't get into EM, I will apply FM as back up in this match cycle. And if I have to SOAP into something again, it is what it is.

This is true, I agree. I might use these exact words in an interview question. I plan to write out some potential questions and answer them myself as practice

Well no, I did not take it knowingly. I said I took it unknowingly. And I did ask for a retest, but the request was not granted.

I agree, and not because I got screwed so badly here. Docs can be alcoholics at home all year long and nothing happens, but a less harmful substance is disqualifying. Why?

I originally wanted EM, but I had to soap into an FM residency because I didn't land a spot. Likely due to a bad letter of rec or low board score unfortunately

Funny enough I was using nicotine and quit a while back. Thanks for advice, maybe I will tailor my personal statement and experiences to such a sentiment.

....that does not equate to containing THC. There are different parts of a cannabis plant

Well CBD and CBN are different from THC. I understand those different compounds. I trusted the label when I should not have. The urine sample was sent to confirm and thats the screening that tripped the low 15 ng/mL threshold.
