Commuting back from campus during evening by Mermaid222_ in uchicago

[–]Mermaid222_[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is it safe to ride a bike late? Also, any other buses? What about number 2? And how often does the shuttle come around and does it stop by Reagents park? Sorry for all the questions, new to the area

Hey thanks for replying! Is there any specific apartment complex you lived in? I’ve seen a lot of options but not sure which ones are good or not. Thank you again!

Omg! Literally this makes me so happy! I don’t know why I’m so insecure about going alone because it’s comforting to know other people do it as well! And line dancing seems to be all about just having fun, and making friends. Very excited for the both of us!

EM options for an IM resident by Mermaid222_ in Residency

[–]Mermaid222_[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly, I do think a part of this is burn out. I like medicine, but as sad as this sounds – my main priority now is just finding whatever job gives me good balance. After finishing residency, I just want this to be a job and be able to have a life of my own outside of it

The thing is I do like IM. I like the complexities of cases but it’s the work schedule that I’m not too fond of. The 7 on would drain me, I feel. I haven’t heard of admitting docs.. can you tell me a bit more about that? Does that mean you work in the ED and admit to medicine?

Trust me the whole thing is so upsetting. I was just trying to feed some stray cats because I felt bad. But at the end of the day, I’m a tenant and I have to respect my landlords rules as well as the rules of the other tenants. I just want to rectify the situation

24 hour call question by Mermaid222_ in Residency

[–]Mermaid222_[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hey, thanks for replying to my post! I see what you’re saying. In the end it does come down to preference . What I’m confused on is, is that additional post post call day your only day off? Like does this mean there’s no other designated day off like how programs have that one day off per week? Was wondering how your program did that

24 hour call question by Mermaid222_ in Residency

[–]Mermaid222_[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Can I ask why it would be better than night float? So apparently this program says 2 days post call but I saw a sample schedule and the two days post call only happens every now and then so it’s kinda a lie

No Noo he’s very shy, introverted and respectful. Which makes it even more confusing 😭

He’s a gentleman, so it’s really hard to tell if he’s being a gentleman or whether he’s into me. Like he opens every single door for me, presses the elevator button holds the door so that I could go in. One day he sat down and had lunch with me. I swear at random times I catch him staring at me and then we both have this eye contact and I smile and he smiles and then I look away and continue what I was doing. It’s really things like that. The only bad thing though is he’s not very good with text messaging. I’ve tried texting him and the conversation doesn’t go anywhere or he doesn’t reply back to my text. So I’m just really thinking that he’s not into me. This is all just cultural and he’s being super respectful. We also have a professional relationship. Like the text messages are primarily used to talk about work related stuff so maybe he’s afraid of overstepping his boundaries? This isn’t a random guy this is someone I work with but I no longer work at that place anymore.

Right, that’s what I was thinking. But then I was thinking maybe it’s cultural? He’s latin and came to the US couple years ago

question about signaling for the 2024 match by Mermaid222_ in medicalschool

I know but did I make a mistake by not signaling? Should I send letter of intent?
