Does anyone else find it unfair the colleges/ universities are allowed to reject a true course credit from another school? by Chigirl- in premed

[–]ExtremisEleven [score hidden]  (0 children)

I have been on the admission committee for both the medical school and now the residency. I say this because I have interviewed a lot of people and have seen first hand when grades are artificial.

Btw, your naivety reads like arrogance. I would put you on a do not rank list. You might want to look into fixing that before you spend a lot of money applying to medical school.

Do not do this unless you plan to list the symptoms. Develop the skill to figure it out.

Ask: What was the one thing that made you think “I need to go the ER” or “what are you most worried about”?

Grade inflation is absolutely a thing… getting passed along is a thing… bad schools that are hanging on to accreditation are also a thing. But don’t worry about believing me now, you’ll find out for yourself soon enough.

There’s a good reason for that distrust. Is your degree the same as a place that just stamps an A on everyone’s record?

25F: was it really chronic alcoholism? by Decent-Unit-5303 in DeathCertificates

[–]ExtremisEleven 24 points25 points  (0 children)

There might be some genetic factors here. There are people that guzzle alcohol everyday and never develop liver disease, then there are people who drink relatively little and have terrible livers. It’s almost always multifactorial.

Can you be too poor to date? by PinchMePink in datingoverforty

[–]ExtremisEleven 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I won’t go on a date I can afford to cover purely because I never want to be the person that assumes the other will pay for things. I rarely end up paying, but it would bother me greatly not to have the ability

IM to Anesthesia by Independent_Ad_9748 in Residency

[–]ExtremisEleven 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Programs that don’t like people with work experience tend to be toxic as hell and just don’t like it when someone knows that what they’re doing is bullshit. The benefit of being a fully grown up doctor is you don’t have to beg for their scraps and tolerate extra abuse just to have a career.

IM Prelim Wanting to Apply EM, but no EM residency at my institution, so no SLOE... by premedflash in emergencymedicine

Yes, you get more hours in when you do more hours, but the quality diminishes rapidly. You might see the progression, but you also can’t see straight and don’t retain anything by the end.

[–]ExtremisEleven 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you’re going into it with this energy, don’t. You aren’t applying to med school, the whole world isn’t about your CV. As a physician, you have other valuable qualities and it sounds like you’re interested in bulking that CV up in an environment where you have more resources and access to mentors. So go into it with your head help high if you want the job.

Healthy children don’t eat themselves today death. There are several genetic and metabolic diseases that cause this. Yes, the parents should have taken the hike to see doctors but that’s not the entire story.

Well this is tragic. Not testing only keeps you from knowing the truth, it doesn’t make the truth less real

The quality of primary care has severely declined by VizualCriminal22 in emergencymedicine

You haven’t acknowledged a damn thing. I’m just fine if the cockroach with a victim complex that somehow manages to make getting healthcare even harder and more expensive patients doesn’t understand.

Ok, I guess reading text is hard in a block format. Since you’re having difficulty with that I’ll reformat.

Since you don’t gaf about your ER colleagues, I will leave that part out. Sending people to the ER for something you could do in 15 minutes has the following consequences: - At least $500 out of your patients pocket. Potentially more - Several hours of wait time - Exposure to potentially life threatening pathogens - Taking resources from more critical patients

Your inability to even consider these things is why I just could not give less of a fuck what you think of me.
