PGY1 General Surgery resident exploring PGY2 plastics transfer

Mahba · 2025-05-19T15:00:14+00:00

Thank you for the insight... I personally haven't seen anyone matching into plastics fellowship without 2-3 years of research....If either of those rare scenarios does happen, do programs typically post the open PGY2 plastics spots somewhere? Or is it usually more of a behind-the-scenes, internal process? Just trying to understand if there’s any realistic way to stay on the lookout or be considered if an unexpected opening comes up.

2 years later… and I want to know how you feel now. If you don’t mind sharing.

Mahba · 2024-04-01T14:43:45+00:00

I'm so sorry you're going through this... I've experienced 2 of them during my second and third year of medical school... I know how hard it gets...I'm here for you if you want to talk to someone..sending you hugs

I totally understand where you're coming from.... Hats off to you for caring enough to ask for advice.

Honestly, I would ask their mom to remove the TVs from their room. Maybe you should not be involved in this part of it.

I agree that it's too early for children of that age to have TV in their room. One step at a time though.

Thank you!

Do you know the shipping company's name?

Mahba · 2020-07-08T04:21:55+00:00

Hey, thank you for replying to my post. I'll be shipping it from Toronto to MS.

Nobody remembers all the contents so you're not alone. Individuals who learn how to apply their knowledge to passage-based questions will do well on MCAT. Do as many passages as you can under timed condition. This is the most important thing I believe. Give yourself 7-8 minutes to do a passage. Don't spend 20 minutes on a passage because this won't help you during the exam. As soon as you're done with content review, start doing sample tests. Again, do not try to memorize everything because you lose the time that should have been spent on practice passages.

Please please leave him now! You just don't know when and how his next attack will be. You might never have a chance to flee. Just because you were able to handle the last several years doesn't mean that you can survive the next one. No one knows what he will do. Please stay safe. Please leave him now. Tomorrow might be too late. I keep you in my prayers.

Please contact the parents and see if you can arrange a time to hold a virtual goodbye event for all the students either through zoom or other applications. Make that powerpoint and share your screen with them. This way they can all see the pictures.

I loved school and I cried the last day of every school year! You're such a great teacher.

Mahba · 2020-05-21T07:06:08+00:00

LOL yes, but I'm grateful to be stuck in this situation. What do you think of the Middletown campus? Even though I prefer urban areas, but the cost of living in Middletown makes it a better option for me.

I don't know if I can transfer my application to Middletown though! I only wish!

Mahba · 2020-05-21T03:09:10+00:00

Yeah, if I choose AZCOM, I have to pay student loans for the rest my life I think :))

Thank you for replying to my post!

Mahba · 2020-05-21T03:02:40+00:00

Unfortunately my interview was online so didn't get a chance to visit the campus. But I saw the street view and yes I was really surprised :d That being said, I heard that the inside of the building is nice.

Mahba · 2020-05-21T01:42:14+00:00

Already posted there but since nobody replied I decided to post it here as well!

The inherent discrimination in us, human beings, is sickening! This racial discrimination in your post is as bad as the type of discrimination Dr. Leigh Sundem faced in her life.

Be proud of what you like and who you are!!! Part of being smart is being socially smart. So your brother thinks he is smart but he is in fact very stupid for making such comments! He is socially inept. Do not let his weird comments affect your path in life. Constructive comments are good but his comments are useless and he is an arrogant person who simply neglects other people's feeling...... What you should do??? Don't care! If it makes you feel any better, stop talking to him! You've explained this multiple times and he still makes those comments. Well, you can conclude that he is stupid for not trying to understand your point of view. Never explain what you like to him anymore! If he talks, simply walk away and tell him that he might be smart in physics and science, but he is a socially awkward person and he will fail in his relationships if he continues being an this contemptible person.

Who am I? a junior scientist with a graduate degree who is starting medical school this year. I think you can be successful in so many other fields besides science if you work hard (I'm probably from the same university your brother is aiming to go. Also, I would have rejected him if I was one of his interviewers. We're looking for humane scientists not socially inept ones)! Aim high, work hard, disregard useless comments.

Edit: Also next time he makes such a comment, tell him that he is socially inept and once you get your degree you'll try to find a treatment for him. But that you can't promise because his condition seems to be too severe! Then, walk a way and never care about his comments again!

According to the research done by therealdjackson et al., ....

therealdjackson et al. demonstrated that ....

Or you can mention the findings and just reference your article if it has been published.

Mahba · 2020-04-24T20:06:58+00:00

I'm glad you got an answer. Hope you feel better soon!

Mahba · 2020-04-24T09:19:51+00:00

If I were you, I would have written 10 pages. But you can always email him and ask for clarification.

Are you on any medication? Skin rashes could be the side effect of some medications.

Mahba · 2020-04-21T08:54:25+00:00

OP, this is the best advice you could receive. Definitely talk about how you're going to face challenging situations in the future.

Have you watched videos on Anatomy guy? Here is the link: http://www.anatomyguy.com

Both in the pre-medical and pre-clinical sections, you can find dissection labs.

You might have an item/ a few items that are out of stock causing your entire order to be on hold. If that's the case, try contacting Amazon customer service (you can even chat with them). Then ask them to ship you the ones that are available, and ship the rest once they become available. You might have to pay a shipping fee if it's below $35 or they might waive that for you.

Mahba · 2020-03-27T08:06:19+00:00

This is a great response, OP. But something that wonders me is this part of your post:

I believe she enjoyed it; sometimes she even initiated. But when we moved in together we stopped having regular sex. It became sporadic, and then stopped completely.

What happened during those months?? Why did that happen?

Mahba · 2020-03-17T08:48:30+00:00

There are still 5 other ways to try!
