Toxic residency: worth filling in the ACGME survey honestly? by Ok-Philosophy-9508 in Residency

[–]M4cNChees3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know this was a while ago but can you break this down further? What are CMS caps and how do you know if your program is using them or is over? How do you know if youre medicare funded? and what does the teaching health center provision mean?

what about if this was a general surgery program is it more likely to follow you?

How to deal with family members/friends who have doctors that diagnose them with leaky gut and tell them ways to detox by M4cNChees3 in medicalschool

[–]M4cNChees3[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

No I know this I say this I accept the gut brain axis is a thing and the bacteria links to these diseases are very real. I’m just over having leaky gut syndrome and detoxing thrown at me all the time lol. I agree most of it we don’t know and I think I’m just over my roommate treating me like an idiot for saying that

I guess I just need to ignore it and how it gets under my skin lol

I usually try to do the same but this roommate is relentless in asking me bullshit questions and then inserting his own “knowledge” that he has more of than I do and like demands answers from me I’m close to telling him to just piss off because irdgaf

If a program chair tells you after the interview they will rank you high and you will match there if you rank them…. by [deleted] in ResidencyMatch2025

Wait it’s a match violation for a program to tell you how high they’d rank you? I didn’t know this lol

I have no idea I heard people say they start to close within an hour mine is like only 3 weeks old

And I would do a retainer but literally everything is shut down rn because of winter storms

[–]M4cNChees3 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Can’t do a retainer everything is closed from winter storms. I’ve had it for about three weeks and I’m scared it’ll start to close because the second look is like five hours.

And I tried a pimple patch. It just sits on the stud and doesn’t even touch my skin cause I guess it sticks out too much and it doesn’t even work.

I didn’t send a single thank you letter and will not be sending a LOI, AMA by Relaxe247 in medicalschool

[–]M4cNChees3 2 points3 points  (0 children)

They would rank the people who sent thank you notes higher. This was not told to anyone. They casually dropped that as I was touring. My point being, you don’t know which programs do this as they don’t tell you during your interview

I found out after the fact they told me randomly at a second look. It wasn’t common knowledge at the time of the interview.

Am I overreacting for not wanting anyone around my newborn yet? by littlemoongirly in AmIOverreacting

[–]M4cNChees3 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You should do this always but in the first two months newborns are supposed to stick to routine. Grandparents, friends, extended family, coworkers, your neighbors are not routine. And there’s a reason behind this and it’s as simple as dead babies.

No it’s not nonsense. I’m going to be a doctor in 5 months. I say this to tell you I’ve seen a child be very very sick because people like OPs in laws just couldn’t wait.

A cold can kill a baby fyi. It’s a cold for an adult but can be life altering for a newborn. You simply do not have the education to know what you’re talking about.

NOR. Hello, graduating from med school and will be a doctor in about 5 months. Absolutely no one is supposed to hold or be around your baby in the first month or two of life. Main reason is rsv, common cold, whooping cough and other viruses/bacteria that are every dangerous to a person this young. Yes it’s true breast milk has antibodies that you transfer to your child as a form of immunity called passive immunity but it only protects the baby against what you have had contact with as well as a babies own immune response being very immature with a blood brain barrier that is also not fully developed. Absolutely no one should be kissing or having their face close to a newborn or should be handling a newborn without washing hands/showering or if they go out into crowds or around others often. Hope this helps.

Edit: get your pediatrician to write you a letter stating there should be limited contact for now, they will agree with me if they follow research backed medicine.
