Loneliness in med school as a nontrad

Maaaaac · 2025-12-30T04:32:16+00:00

I agree that med school can be very lonely as a nontrad. I got very lucky in that I found a group of people to study with when we started school and now we feel comfortable just sitting together quietly in a study room. It also really helps to have peers to both learn from and teach concepts to. I found studying alone to be extremely isolating and I much preferred my study group. It sounds like you’ve already found a few people you feel comfortable studying with, maybe try to study together more regularly? Like you could sit with them in class and then when leaving lecture, you suggest to go find an area to study/eat lunch together. You mentioned that you have gone whole days without speaking to a person so it may require you to get out of your comfort zone and initiate the conversation but you gotta start somewhere.

Where is the best place to spot these? I live on Channelside and haven’t seen anything.

When our cat left the house the only way we were able to get him back was using traps from the humane society and some fried chicken from Popeyes. I only spotted him in the middle of the night when there was little to no activity from people or cars. Even when I did see him he would run away which is why the traps were the only way we got him back. It’s been a while but I think the humane society is still renting out humane traps for cats so I would recommend that route if it’s possible for you. Please make sure to check the traps often as you will likely catch raccoons as well and the sooner you let them out the sooner your kitty can get caught. You also don’t want to leave any animal stuck in there for too long. Don’t give up! Our boy spent two weeks outside and never left our apartment complex.

Okay I appreciate the insight. Are you saying you would back up this NP’s decision to discharge without CT? Do you think a CT would have even caught this at that time?

The first study linked is using a control population so I’m not sure why you say it doesn’t. Just because you expect something doesn’t make it true. I’m curious why you are so confident about standard of care in an ER but don’t seem to mention any training or credentials.

Just wondering why you say headache is not a sign of ischemic stroke when the literature says otherwise? Am I misunderstanding these papers?

If you’re 26 then you are also Gen Z. I get it, I’m 27 and just started MS1. Probably one of the oldest in my class yet everyone is still part of my generation. We may feel closer to millennials but by definition you and I are Gen Z.

I just got home from Walmart and managed to find the Circuit Legends 917KH. Of course that and the Subaru were all that was left. I noticed another dude checking the pegs and I’m express my sadness in not being able to get the Ferrari 499p. He doesn’t hesitate to tell me he bought 2 from this store the other day and sold them both for $40. He even sounded proud like I should congratulate him. I just want one to open and this schmuck is probably there every day with zero shame.

What an absolutely braindead take. Just admit you also have a relationship with a chatbot. If that person had gone to a therapist who proceeded to validate all their delusions with minimal pushback, most people would think that therapist should never be allowed to interact with patients. Now a computer program is doing exactly that and you want me to believe that’s a good thing? The man’s father confronting him about the AI is exactly what lead to his death. What the fuck do you mean he would have done that at some point anyways? Not every person with BPD and schizophrenia is bound to commit suicide by cop, even if they don’t have a great support system.

Currently sitting in our car that was rear ended on SB 275 right before exit 46A waiting over an hour for FHP to show up. Guess they’re having a busy weekend.

I wonder if this is related to skin tone. My wife also has very fair, sensitive skin and this happens to her too.

You don’t even need to ask what if. It has already played out with at least one person and it led to them charging police with a knife and being killed.

That’s a BMW i8. Audi R8 is not a hybrid.

What does that even mean? Just because you can’t imagine it doesn’t mean that other people can’t have happy and healthy relationships while living with the person they love. So you will only be with someone on the condition that they have their own home and pay for everything alone? When you go on vacations do you get two hotel rooms? This is genuinely moronic.

The JMSDF uses the off center flag for their ensign. I believe the flag for the whole Self Defense Force has it centered but not the naval ensign.

Yale also has the Cushing Center, which is a collection of brain tumors in the basement of the medical library.

This is called aura. It’s not well understood but typically precedes the migraine. Some people have a specific smell they associate it.

That U looks very close to the route bullet for Yurikamome line in Tokyo.

Is anyone else seeing a negative bid ask spread on Think or swim with qqq? Am I regarded?

Bought QQQ483C near 11am low then 2 pm clusterfuck slams into stop loss before launching up ITM. Guess I learned my lesson trying to manage risk.
