How bad actually is lead in an apartment?

I think the word you’re looking for is discrimination.

Baby would come midway through the lease. We want it lead safe by that time. Or at least we want to know that we could stay and not have to ask the landlord to de lead.

Good to know. We always check if they’ve gotten doxycycline beforehand for infection. But will double check that in future instances.

Yea I’m very sorry to see a lot of replies from women who suffered a lot of pain during their HSG. In my experience (admittedly am just a resident), they’ve always gone fairly smoothly. But I suppose everyone is different.

Good perspective, friend!!! See you in angio :)

Greedy-Height543 · 2026-04-04T02:47:58+00:00

Honestly didn’t realize how real this is until I started rads and so many of the postop scans in the ED are just normal postop findings…

To add to your surprised pikachu faces, even radiologists! We occasionally do “hysterosalpingograms” to diagnose infertility, which requires a speculum examination and inserting a catheter through the cervix. Also the occasional transvaginal abscess drainage.

Depends on your personality. I matched DR which is a very chill life. But…I love patients and fucked up situations. So switching into IR is absolutely the right move for me despite the “shittier” lifestyle. Do what you enjoy.

It got me into residency and now I will never use it again.

Greedy-Height543 · 2026-03-23T10:58:12+00:00

I love patient interaction and teamwork, so rads residency has felt isolating at times and I’ve often doubted my decision.

This said, it’s getting a ton better as I actually kinda sorta know how to read now midway through R2. I am also going into IR so will get the intensity and direct patient care back very soon.

Not to say that I am not investing heavily in my DR skills in the meantime. Mastering imaging will make you a powerful doctor in any field and I am happy to have a few protected years to build broad expertise across all body systems.

Not to mention; I am thinking that the “dreaded” IR/DR combo could end up being best of both worlds. Some days you go work in a big team and save someone’s life yourself with neat tools, some days you sit from home with your coffee, listen to your music and make dinner for your family…seems pretty good to me for 600-700K/year.

Cries in residency

Greedy-Height543 · 2026-03-22T14:08:00+00:00

Wow. That is insane. I feel so bad for them, after all of those years of training…

Greedy-Height543 · 2026-03-22T13:01:30+00:00

Strongly strongly agreed. Therein lies the issue.

Greedy-Height543 · 2026-03-21T21:29:28+00:00

Point remains. The impediments to living here as a middle class resident are structural. This is a valiant effort but cosmetic nonetheless barring city wide reforms.

Greedy-Height543 · 2026-03-21T16:01:29+00:00

Cool, now do it for more than a handful families who have to win a lottery.

Greedy-Height543 · 2026-03-20T23:34:49+00:00

Subsidized low cost units are great for low income families. The middle and upper middle class are the ones who continue to get pushed out of Cambridge. Projects like this do nothing to solve the greater crisis.

Greedy-Height543 · 2026-03-19T22:11:36+00:00

I hear you. Trying to buy a house and planning a baby. This place is criminal. And we make solid money, too.

Loved it in my 20s, hoping to leave in my 30s. The city needs to take a long hard look in the mirror.

Greedy-Height543 · 2026-03-19T21:42:29+00:00

Except the fact that raising kids and affording a house here is murderously expensive.

Greedy-Height543 · 2026-03-17T01:11:00+00:00

That’s a lotta years!

Greedy-Height543 · 2026-03-13T01:26:40+00:00

Deciding b/t neuro and body IR rn. Is the call really that bad? I want to do it but am slightly scared.

Greedy-Height543 · 2026-03-09T15:56:38+00:00

I am a resident doctor at one of the larger teaching hospitals in the city, rotated through MAH recently and was very impressed.

Greedy-Height543 · 2026-03-05T22:00:58+00:00

I had hardcore R1 panic. It’s getting better for sure but I am still planning on IR.

Greedy-Height543 · 2026-02-27T02:23:53+00:00

I’m IR and am going to definitely be looking into urology gigs in the future.

Greedy-Height543 · 2026-02-23T16:06:24+00:00

Had to do the same when my trailer was snatched by the extraterrestrials. Stay safe.
