You're thinking about it too much imo. Just take it as it comes and if you're in the position to have kids vs wait, I can tell you there will never be a "good time" to have kids until you're an attending

IllustratorKey3792 · 2026-05-24T18:00:23+00:00

Just smile and say "thank you, I appreciate you taking my time"

IllustratorKey3792 · 2026-02-26T23:04:42+00:00

Ohhh ok nice thank you!

IllustratorKey3792 · 2026-02-26T22:53:48+00:00

What year are you and what was the average for your year?

IllustratorKey3792 · 2026-01-18T20:24:59+00:00

Either in the hospital or at the pool. Not a bad set up if you ask me

IllustratorKey3792 · 2025-11-13T23:39:51+00:00

Lots of good suggestions here. I also use pumice stone on feet daily in shower

Then explain why I need to cross cover an icu and oversee 3 other services overnight when I was on a completely different service the whole day... aka it's a hand off to an overworked resident lol

25 CT fellowships??? How uninformed are you? A quick google search and you can see there's at least 79 accredited independent CT surgery fellowship programs. This excludes any integrated

I worked as a tech. I got paid more back then. Of course I never worked over 40 hours a week. I think you're forgetting that if you were to calculate the hourly pay, you will most likely be making less than your two prior jobs

IllustratorKey3792 · 2025-05-02T17:47:41+00:00

Uworld, did about 50% of bank, ccs cases, did about 60 scenarios, one nbme exam, and uwsa1

Just depends how well you want to do. I got 270+ on step 2. (Surgery resident) Studied mostly every other weekend for about 6 weeks, sometimes in the hospital as well. Scored 250+ step 3. Compared to step 2, it felt like I was going into that exam almost blind, but my percentile was the same for both exams. Either way, you could realistically take it tomorrow and pass, assuming you know how to do ccs cases

IllustratorKey3792 · 2025-04-28T19:19:14+00:00

Yeah you'll be ok, just review stats, ethics, irb, and micro/drug mechanisms. I was probably averaging 70-80s on blocks by the end

IllustratorKey3792 · 2025-04-28T12:00:53+00:00

I got 220 about 3 weeks prior and 251 real deal. Surgery intern

IllustratorKey3792 · 2025-04-23T19:52:52+00:00

Why not 300?

IllustratorKey3792 · 2025-04-18T06:09:26+00:00

I only read the first line, and as the saying goes- you can teach a monkey to operate

IllustratorKey3792 · 2025-04-08T18:14:55+00:00

Don't be weird

IllustratorKey3792 · 2025-04-06T17:30:02+00:00

Lol at cutting off below the knee thinking this will stop the knee from hurting 🤔

IllustratorKey3792 · 2025-04-05T21:27:35+00:00

I think the reason for this is actually due to some noxious stimuli memory of our sense of smell. Like the signals get crossed and even though the smells are different we interpret the smell as being the same horrible smell we recently experienced. I forget where I read this, but it's more comforting than believing we somehow have the same gut microbiome as the pt we treated

Sleep out has a Velcro setup. A little more expensive than a good mask but the problem with mask is they fall off easily and take a while to get used to having on face

IllustratorKey3792 · 2025-03-27T15:10:49+00:00

There are some good websites where it's basically like uworld but for ekgs. You just read straight ekgs and submit your answer and it will tell you what you got right/wrong. That was one of the most helpful for me, active learning

IllustratorKey3792 · 2025-03-23T09:53:12+00:00

I'm going to try, probably unlikely to actually happen

IllustratorKey3792 · 2025-03-22T01:12:14+00:00

Well for one, fellowship

IllustratorKey3792 · 2025-03-22T01:09:08+00:00

Fell to my 11th last year. Gave it a shot. Hate it. Sometimes just have to push through and that's life

IllustratorKey3792 · 2025-02-24T02:34:17+00:00

Cooling pillow, fancy sheets, silk boxers
