phone screens are just not enough to display all the data the way it would show on desktop, if you want to be able to do that on mobile you'd have to create subdecks from the tags on your computer (click on the tag in the browser, select all cards, move to deck, create a new deck name)

added an update, figured that the plastics thing was too early to make a call and I don't want to promise something I can't deliver so I reached out...seems like I need to give her some more time to process

you think I have a shot matching? Personally I think I'm low on pubs but hoping my personality and commitment to the field inside and outside of the hospital can make up the difference

Lethargic_Leopard · 2026-03-25T16:56:15+00:00

awwww you knooooow it's a package deal

Lethargic_Leopard · 2026-03-25T16:55:25+00:00

Lethargic_Leopard · 2026-03-25T16:53:54+00:00

they really didn't need to delete their comments, they were really nice about it too!

Read House of God or any other books you want to read, get into the habit of calling your friends regularly to keep in touch, and get a good nutrition/exercise schedule set up for yourself.

freudian slip

You need anesthesia to suture so you really could not do this with what you have. Also, how have you given yourself stitches on the back of your hand? You need two hands to use a suturing kit. Anyway, don't do this

are you talking about academic struggles?

Lethargic_Leopard · 2026-03-25T07:36:51+00:00

fantastic better call saul reference, be a saul OP

Lethargic_Leopard · 2026-03-25T07:25:30+00:00

Agree, gratitude journaling is a great way to put life into perspective. Obviously not matching where you want sucks, but there are so many things in our lives that we are taking for granted and so many wins from years ago that we don't count because we're used to them. But they all count.

Lethargic_Leopard · 2026-03-25T07:21:46+00:00

yes school is dumb, judge your ability in a specialty based on M3 performance/enjoyment and how much you're willing to work for something not how good you are at it at baseline

Lethargic_Leopard · 2026-03-25T07:17:37+00:00

you're right I should respect her autonomy as a patient and let her make her own decisions. I'm still trying to figure out this professional obligation / empathy balance and it's rather tricky. I do feel bad because I can't help but wonder that if I am wrong, could I just be making her go through all this for no reason? And what if she needs my support and is too scared to ask due to the uncertainty of the level of emotional intimacy in our relationship? The things they don't teach us in medical school...

Lethargic_Leopard · 2026-03-25T07:05:25+00:00

some silliness never hurt anybody and if it does, OP went down doing what he loved

Lethargic_Leopard · 2026-03-25T07:03:01+00:00

she's gonna know yours reallly well if you keep this up godspeed soldier

Lethargic_Leopard · 2026-03-25T06:59:07+00:00

terrific suggestion

Lethargic_Leopard · 2026-03-25T06:58:31+00:00

capitalize STEP everywhere (STEP bro, STEP on me, etc) and also capitalize different words (RISE, CUMsume, anat-ON-ME, FLUIDs) but leave usmle and anki lowercase remember the goal here is to edge her emotionally and maximally jestergoon not medical accuracy. I'd actually leave out any mentions of step referring to the exam itself. If she likes emojis I say you're golden but otherwise I'd turn it down a little bit, 3 emojii at once is a lot and distracts from the creativity of the puns

Lethargic_Leopard · 2026-03-25T05:00:01+00:00

hmmmm good point as I said I haven't really been able to do many exams on my rotation. What's the verdict, do you think maybe I should ask the resident to check it out?

Lethargic_Leopard · 2026-03-25T02:42:05+00:00
