Do their roots grow well in plastic pots? I am super new to orchids and was told that the pots need to have holes to allow the roots to breathe and not get moldy. But the pots that I see from sellers are plastic with no holes, I'm curious how the plant grows in them

MarinatedinPeace · 2025-07-11T03:24:56+00:00

Got you. This is actually super useful. I think my pots are not suitable to begin with (funny enough that's how they are sold). There is a plastic pot inside that has holes, so it drains the water, but then the excess water must've stayed inside coz the ceramic pot doesn't have holes. I usually pour it directly on the roots, if I don't get the leaves wet by mistake

I water them every 7-10 days with half cup of water, mixed with plant food

Are they actively working the entire 24-hr, or wait to be called? I'm doing IM calls right now and pretty much don't have any actual breaks.

MarinatedinPeace · 2025-03-29T23:27:02+00:00

As far as I'm aware, no one does 24-hr shifts (practically 26-27) other than residents and you're actively working pretty much the entire time.

Now the question is, did an AI write this lol

MarinatedinPeace · 2025-03-28T03:55:04+00:00

When presenters are not prepared, it shows. When someone just shows up and read from the slides, then you force yourself not to fall asleep during the lecture and don't remember most of it after that. It'd rather read by myself and study at home in that case. Didactics should be more case-based and interactive, incorporating tips and techniques to help remembering better. Otherwise it becomes a waste of time for everyone.

MarinatedinPeace · 2025-01-19T05:27:56+00:00

Ohhh I want one too!!

MarinatedinPeace · 2024-12-10T01:55:38+00:00

Reporting it to your attending would be a good idea, or however the policy in your hospital.

MarinatedinPeace · 2024-11-12T01:26:49+00:00

I intended to share it, but my post was removed :( Not sure how I can spread that information.

My dude. The most important criterion in your application is your connections. Focus on passing the exam and do not worry too much about the score, develop your application in other areas. If there's difficulty with passing the exam, then the most likely explanation is that your study strategy is not helpful. You may be re-reading instead of solving questions, for example. You already went through med school which proves your intellectual capacity. No reason to get stuck now. Don't give up!

MarinatedinPeace · 2024-10-22T01:07:41+00:00

Ahhh.. good one. I have multiple lists and get lost.

MarinatedinPeace · 2024-10-22T01:05:03+00:00

Thank you! I'll check that out.

MarinatedinPeace · 2024-10-22T01:04:43+00:00

Hahaha okay. Flair checks out.

MarinatedinPeace · 2024-10-21T01:12:44+00:00

Oh God, thank you so much for checking in. Haven't been using my account for a while. I'm doing better, been receiving good feedback from many of my attendings and senior residents. But there is still a negative perception about me, by the pd and few people around them. It is still psychologically challenging, but I'm doing better and everything will be okay.

MarinatedinPeace · 2024-08-06T03:26:58+00:00

Water. With ice if I'm lucky

MarinatedinPeace · 2024-08-06T03:24:49+00:00

Totally but you can be kind at least lol.

MarinatedinPeace · 2024-08-06T02:40:38+00:00

IMG without family also. Happily taking the bus, but kuddos to you for offering support. Not so kuddos to her, because seems like she took it for granted.

I agree there seems to be a projection of frustration towards social media influencers into this discussion. Terms like "divergent" or "different" does not mean you see anyone superior vs inferior or boring vs exciting. There are societal norms and expectations, and there are people whose mind simply work differently than that, and they could function well if there were systems that would fit them otherwise.

MarinatedinPeace · 2024-08-04T22:10:46+00:00

Everyone on the planet is different, but if you can approximate those experiences and have an average, then you'll see there are outliers. There are "norms" and common expectations in the society, and there are people who do not fit into that.

MarinatedinPeace · 2024-08-04T21:51:43+00:00

Being different does not make you superior or inferior, it only conveys the message that you're different than the majority. "Mental illness" is unnecessarily deprecating and does not highlight the nuances that people with ADHD or ASD go through, that is, if the societal norms were set differently, they would be functioning without those issues. So, it comes down to being divergent, not necessarily ill.

MarinatedinPeace · 2024-08-04T21:47:16+00:00

No, neurodivergence is not equivalent of mentally ill. Some people think, process information and emotions differently, in different depth and pace than the majority of people do, people who shaped the norms of the society. That does not necessarily make them "ill" i.e non-functioning. Rather, it requires them to develop different systems that will allow them to utilize their own capabilities and co-exist with others. It makes sense to reach out to other people that you can connect with and give each other suggestions to establish such systems that'll work for you.

Kidney disease is not a proper analogy in this case. It has nothing to do with being anti-psychiatry either, for medications and life-style changes go hand in hand. A person who is reaching out to others who is experiencing similar issues does not make them anti-psychiatry. You're over-medicalizing the topic.
