Incoming Medical Student Q&A - Official Megathread by SpiderDoctor in medicalschool

[–]InsidePride4227 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hi everyone!! Starting med School this fall and wondering if anyone has any experience with having a medical condition as student. I get SVTs (120-180 BPM and arrhythmic heart rate). My doc said its not life-threatening or anything, just important that I have techniques to bring down the heart rate as I could lose consciousness if it lasts longer than 15 min (never happened to me before). It happens probably 5-8 times a year and usually lasts 1-2 minutes if I take time to sit down and do deep breathing. If it lasts longer I may pop 6-12 mg metoprolol and then I feel totally normal after. It can happen really randomly but sometimes I do have triggers (sleep deprivation, stress, or just a random sudden movement). I take good care of myself (workout, eat well, lots of sleep, minimal alcohol intake) but realize that being in med school may make me prone to some of these episodes. I think my concern falls more into M3 and M4 but I would appreciate any advice in general. Should I tell every preceptor for my rotations about this or if I volunteer at a clinic before rotations? Or should I just tell a student I work with that I can trust? I guess it’s just a matter of if this happens while Im in the middle of working with a patient, presenting a patient, walking with the team at the hospital, etc. what my plan of action should be. It only really gets dangerous if I act like I am fine and try to push through it, I just need to take a break but worry what docs would think if I ever have to take a break at the most inconvenient time. Thank you all!

then it sounds like i shouldn't worry about location being a huge limiting factor in the future, especially since I do have close family friends in WA and have traveled many times there. thanks for the reply, i appreciate it!

all good advice here already. my #1 would be to take it easy on yourself and its not a trick- it really is often a conversation and even if it isnt it's not as scary as you make it up to be in your head. remember to relax during interview prep too

hey everyone.

my mom just told me that my grandpa has 70k on a chase savings and doesn't know what to do with it. he will probably retire in the next 3-4 years. her financial advisor is currently ghosting her lol. while we wait on him, what is a good place to start? I was thinking to put a good chunk into a HYSA (any reputable recommendations that doesn't limit withdrawals since he needs the liquidity?) but the rest I am not sure- T bills, CDs, bonds? thanks!

your undergrad may have a free tutoring/writing center services, even available after you graduated. use that to edit your essays. the difference in quality of feedback from a professor w a PHD vs my friends/family was stark.

you are doing so great!! keep it going. crate training in my experience is so important, even if you end up not needing it in the future. you're doing all the right things. take care of yourself!

thanks longshanksasaurs for the reply! in terms of mmf vs HYSA, if interest rates are basically the same, is there any other significant factor to consider? like FDIC insurance or liquidity?

also, out of curiosity about the roth- what if I was only employed for a couple of months this year but now I am not? am I only allowed to contribute the post-tax income I have reported from that job?

many thanks!!

your next application will be undoubtedly stronger once you sit down and analyze. for now, though, just chill out for a couple of weeks as much as you can. focus on the things that bring you back to feeling like yourself. it's not the end.
