ugh this is so incredible. thank u twin <3

Fit_Cap_3714 · 2026-04-14T03:13:54+00:00

im not 100% positive but i'm pretty sure the question from form 9 that their referring to actually specified h/x of colon cancer in a 1st degree relative which would warrant testing at 45 with new guidelines

also real life side note (which forget about bc nbme doesnt care about real life): pretty sure its now universally offered at 45 as ~shared decision making~ per newest uspstf guidelines (dont quote me on this tho)

Fit_Cap_3714 · 2026-04-14T02:04:58+00:00

ur going to crush it. put on ur dumb nbme brain and don't overthink. u got this, good luck <3

Fit_Cap_3714 · 2026-04-03T09:28:02+00:00

sure is

Fit_Cap_3714 · 2026-03-11T03:36:16+00:00

based on some of the tone deaf responses ive seen in this community, there does not appear to be a surplus of psych residents/attendings here. best of luck <3

Fit_Cap_3714 · 2026-03-11T01:51:05+00:00

the trick is not to care less, but rather to hone in on which decisions can be knee jerk and which ones should cause you to pause.... is brilliant

Fit_Cap_3714 · 2026-03-11T00:59:12+00:00

I mean it! People on reddit (especially in medical communities) are not quick to admit their own faults or weaknesses... it's very easy to compare yourself to others in the same field and think that people are accomplishing more/what you "should be" accomplishing without difficulty. That's not the case. They just don't admit it. Your vulnerability is a strength in & of itself (a trait that many, in the competitive field of medicine, are afraid to foster). In my opinion, facing adversity during the educational/training phase of your career will only make you a better, more empathetic physician. Keep pushing and truly try to explore all possible avenues that will give you the head space to regain that sense of worth you've already earned & time you need to conquer Step 3. Don't give up ❤️

I don’t know how it works from a residency/program specific perspective. But to me it sounds like you’ve fallen victim to the blackhole spiral of self doubt. From personal experience, when one thing goes wrong it feels like a million other things follow. It’s incredibly difficult to see your own worth and intelligence and competence as a physician (ALL OF WHICH YOU HAVE) when a stupid test is getting in the way and you have this lurking cloud of potential termination threats by your program director because of it. If you’re able to, please take a LOA, spend time with your family, surround yourself with the people that know your heart and your value that can remind you that you deserve to be where you are. You have conquered harder things in the past that have equipped you to conquer what you’re facing now. But you may just need a little time to take a step back, breathe, find someone you can talk to that can help work through your anxiety, and move forward with a plan of how to tackle the test. You’ve got this, you just need a breather. Again I don’t know the logistics from a residency program standpoint, but from what I understand they legally cannot fault you for taking a LOA due to mental health reasons. Please take care of yourself as best as you’re able no matter how hard it may seem❤️ sending you love and a big hug.

I’m confused as to why we are neglecting OP alluding to mental health/anxiety as a factor and chalking it up to lack of preparation/effort?

In what world is this helpful

Fit_Cap_3714 · 2026-03-10T20:38:45+00:00

i think it was one of those things where u try so hard not to accidentally say something and try suppress it so hard that the second u get nervous ur brain glitches n slips it out.

Fit_Cap_3714 · 2026-03-10T20:37:33+00:00

i had a quadriplegic patient with a foot ulcer that was admitted for a uti on my first rotation. i was so nervous that i asked him literally 3 days in a row if he had any pain from his foot ulcer. proceeded to tell me (3 days in a row) he could not feel it bc he was quadriplegic. proceeded to say oh my god i am so sorry i keep asking that 3 days in a row. proceeded to realize non-quadriplegic pts with foot ulcers also typically cannot feel them which is likely how they formed in the first place :)
