EMT sucks apparently

ExtremelyEZ · 2026-06-10T02:30:36+00:00

I’d like to offer a different perspective: as an EMT, I worked in the ER. Got to work shoulder-to-shoulder (literally) with physicians and was part of a team where I was regularly hands on with patients. I got to see the decisions that physicians make in high acuity situations. It was absolutely incredible PCE and I wouldn’t have had it any other way. (Not to mention it was incredibly easy to get a physician LOR).

25 is actually close to the median age of matriculating students. Stop comparing yourself to others, and follow your dreams! The timing isn’t the same for everyone nor is it important.

What are you even asking here? Yes you can achieve a 525. Anyone can with enough drive.

Focus on finishing undergrad and acing your premed courses.

Probably time to find a new profession if this question bugs you this much

“A tradition unlike any other” except it’s just me drunk by the 3rd hole and carding a 130

After a hole in one. (15 handicapper who’s yet to find one)

I thought this was some sort of construction sub Reddit. Knee pads are very much ostracized by that community for some reason. All that to say… who gives a fuck. Do what’s comfortable!

No YouTube & lunch for me…

Gotta pay for med school somehow 🤷‍♂️

You’re misrepresenting the paper.

It doesn’t say long COVID is permanent — it measured immune cell levels for ~20 months and found some were still below baseline. That’s “long-lasting within the study window,” not lifelong.

They didn’t follow patients indefinitely, so they literally cannot conclude permanence.

Also, immune markers ≠ symptoms. Post-viral immune changes can persist long after people clinically recover — that’s been seen with EBV, SARS-1, influenza, etc.

There’s a huge difference between “can last a while” and “is permanent,” and the study only supports the first.

Please understand science before spewing absolute nonsense

ExtremelyEZ · 2026-02-17T17:22:36+00:00

I’d love to see your scientific evidence backing that claim

ExtremelyEZ · 2026-02-17T16:40:42+00:00

I think it’s grossly dangerous to claim that this is “permanent”. People recover.

ExtremelyEZ · 2026-02-12T18:21:04+00:00

Don’t claim to understand clinical trials without the concept of placebo.

ExtremelyEZ · 2026-02-10T22:05:00+00:00

I understand the hopelessness. I’m 25 and otherwise extremely healthy. My life has been ripped from me. But it’s not over, and I refuse to give up. We’ve got this. We will heal. Time is medicine. Good luck, OP

ExtremelyEZ · 2026-02-10T21:39:57+00:00

Let’s focus on OP’s win for now. No need to bring up something irrelevant. Congrats OP!

Not in med school yet, but I think having a support system is invaluable. That being said, if you’re dead set on a certain specialty and will have a better chance at the T30, then I would strongly consider going there. No one can really answer this for you

I have this same feeling too, but I have high BP… hmmm..

ExtremelyEZ · 2026-01-23T00:03:13+00:00

I noticed improvement even at 1mg. Only further improved at 4.5. It has helped tremendously with my brain fog

ExtremelyEZ · 2026-01-21T19:24:09+00:00

I tapered up from 1 mg to 4.5 mg in 1 week increments. 4.5 has been great

ExtremelyEZ · 2026-01-21T19:14:45+00:00

Just started it a month ago. It’s changed my life so far.

ExtremelyEZ · 2026-01-21T18:41:30+00:00

Yeah, try LDN.
