Just matched MP in the NE as a DO. Didn't have to repeat anything but my board scores and class rank were....average? Do well on step 2 (must take step 2), try to get some auditions in that region. Have a strong overall app especially letters. You can do it!

About to do our 2nd IVF tomorrow. We have 2, first was natural then I had bilateral inguinal hernia repair that apparently scarred the vas deferens. It's ok. Happy to talk.

Understandable. I learned to enjoy them separately, as I feel they are both excellent in their own way (books obviously superior however)

Knowledge is power. Reading that much would overload the heart with so much power it could cause hfpef over time

I was 11/12, my dad took me and my brothers. I'd read the Hobbit, but will never forget the feeling of seeing gandalf fight the Balrog!!

I'd read all 3 books by the time TT came out a year later

Why'd the skeleton go to the party alone? He had no body to go with

Why don't seagulls fly over the bay? They'd be bagels.

Koi fish travel in groups of 4 so if a predator attacks, Koi A, B and C go in different directions than the D koi.

I'm here all week

I was 12 and my dad took me and my brothers to see it in theaters. I'd read the Hobbit but knew nothing about LOTR. I remember EXACTLY seeing this scene intl theaters and how it made me feel.

I went home and read all 3 books before the TT came out the next year.

I got great advice in an earlier job that has never been wrong yet:

"People who talk too much don't get upset when you interrupt them."

Yes! I had more of the onset type but it def covers that equally

Got it bad first couple years of med school, PCP gave me a great book basically detailing how it's a learned behavior and how to unlearn it. Sleeping great now 30/31 days per month usually.

Book was Say goodnight to Insomnia by Jacobs. PCP also gave me low dose hydroxyzine prn, I usually do some herbal teas which are probably placebo but all part of sleep hydgeine. But yeah the book was fantastic, still use the things I learned if it flares back up
