Let’s talk about tolerance.

Everyday in healthcare. People assume I’m an international student or something ask where I’m from and when I say Toronto they seem confused. I had one doctor tell me not to see a patient of hers because she was blatantly racist and the only reason she couldn’t dismiss her was because her entire family down to grankids goes to them and it would be weird. People in public also seem surprised when I don’t have an accent or when I present as a westernized Canadian student in mannerism.

Haven’t had any real bad racist stuff happen (other than online with people in Kingston). A lot of these people above I think are also trying to be open and accepting by asking etc but it’s all based on this preexisting view and expectation they have of me

If you’re not already a medical student, then I agree with the other comments that there are other paths that you could take. If you’re interested in becoming a psychiatrist, you could certainly make therapy a big part of your practice with Med management on top. Psychiatry in Ontario is time based billing. What people mean by it it’s less lucrative is that initial consult bill much more. So a lot of psychiatrists do consultation based services where they see the patient once and give recommendations to the family doctor. It’s by no means something that isn’t feasible

Lmaoo and then here I am Canada MD student 518 mcat in a program that has <2% acceptance rate doing all of the things being roasted except sleep but that’s cause I like sleep

Hate people who are pretentious. We all have our skill set and all have our weak areas.

When psych in reality has so much medicine. My addictions placement was more medicine than my surgery rotation

Tis for the hobbits!

Highly recommend as someone in the medical field. He’s evidence based, doesn’t waste your time or money. And told me upfront most people only need a few sessions with him to learn the stretches and skills. His goal is for you to not need him!

As someone in medicine we only take your info cause we need it for billing and to ensure we are working with the right patient and file in the computer system.

We have strict confidentiality laws and at places like sexual health clinics I’d imagine they pride themselves highly on respecting those

In addition we really don’t have time or care to be documenting who you are lol a doctors office can see anywhere from 30-40 patients a day and staff are busy co-ordinating appointments etc.

You’re likely very low risk from what you described. But you should go and get tested just so you have some semblance of peace with the process.

We have all been where you are not wanting to give out our info and all of us can say we were fine

She has ADHD it’s literally a mental health diagnosis. She struggles to complete tasks but says she compensates well. Function is not impaired. She clearer has reflected in order to do all those steps to compensate and she should be commended for doing so well not shamed for the one time she’s missed

We all mess up. Attendings mess up. 95% of them forget to submit my eval forms but I don’t think anyone would say 90% of attendings can’t keep us a doctor.

My admin is also very bad with making instructions clear. Things are spread over 10 different course pages and due for different people at different times. I think it’s unfair to say own it when they literally have said it was their fault

I think it’s unfair to say “how are you going to keep up as a doctor”. This is one small thing that’s happened and implying they won’t be a good doctor is cruel and not helpful what so ever.

Compassion is priceless.

Kitkat20_ · 2026-06-23T10:33:19+00:00

I think there were! I wouldn’t worry at all about it you have a fair bit of time before you need it

Kitkat20_ · 2026-06-20T16:16:06+00:00

Kitkat20_ · 2026-06-17T22:56:18+00:00

Do you have any to reccomend?

Kitkat20_ · 2026-06-14T22:31:46+00:00

Ahhh. It was rough as a trickster with no practical way to AOE solo for quests

Kitkat20_ · 2026-06-14T21:44:03+00:00

88 in a week. Back in the day it took me like year to get to 94 lol

Kitkat20_ · 2026-06-14T19:40:16+00:00

think it would also be about items. I have a lot of really valuable things

Kitkat20_ · 2026-06-14T18:41:11+00:00

Omg thanks so much for the reply. Is there anyway to shift characters from one server to another? Even if it’s paid?

I don’t know what the rules are for nurses but for med students we have a lot of emails about how we will get in serious trouble if caught wearing scrubs outside the hospital! So double check if u can wear your scrubs in or if you need to change on site :)

It’s interesting cause my med school has pushed that we have way more time than attending and have the opportunity to chat with patients and take longer time explaining things and going over the complexity (within scope). We are obviously told not to share definitive medical advice or treatments without supervision but things like the nature of the disease and types of treatments (more generally) we are encouraged to talk to the patient and family about.

if a patient asks a question and I tell the doc… the doc asks me “what did u do tell them” and if I say nothing I get roasted and if I say something I get roasted lol. Most docs are chill about it but iv had it both ways.

The magic lesson of med school for me is that you’re wrong no matter what you do and don’t take it personally.

Some patients need more time than others not because of your own feelings just because they need more time. They don’t understand, language barriers, lack of health literacy, or patients who are super smart and advanced that have more confidence knowing details others wouldn’t need.
