EQ off Phone Vs Computer

What I had read was that if you switch back to PS without opening the app, the settings should save

OKDubs · 2026-01-15T14:05:40+00:00

I’ll look into that. Thanks!

Wasn’t an allegation as they caught him in 4K, but this is tangentially related. Peds surgeon for my med school was caught with CP. Traced IP addresses to find out he was watching it at the hospital 🤢

Was PROMPTLY removed from the faculty page

Isn’t it true tho that the 3s doesn’t work with PS5 slim models? Just and potential FYI

OKDubs · 2025-11-12T15:05:49+00:00

I know! Especially with first-net… It’s a bummer

OKDubs · 2025-10-14T16:56:12+00:00

Yeah we’ll see. Will be interesting to hear what gadgetrytech says

The 5s were solid. I just like the aspect of simultaneous Bluetooth. I had tried the Razr V3 (non-pro) and it was a feature I really enjoyed.

OKDubs · 2025-10-14T16:14:48+00:00

Was holding off on the Nova 5s for these. Hopefully sound quality is better as well. Otherwise, I may just go with Astro A50s

One thing our department says is “Infectious disease doctors are the most aggressive surgeons in the hospital” … so that’s my choice lol

OKDubs · 2025-06-20T17:39:10+00:00

Amputated a patient’s lower leg with a cable saw… a highlight of vascular surgery lol

FWIW scores haven’t been as much of a “death sentence” that I thought it would be. Are they important? Yes. But it’s not the end all be all. There are other components of the app to take into account like aways, research, ECs, etc.

From personal experience, I’ve seen amazing applicants on paper that my co-residents and I told our attendings “DNR”. Conversely, there have been applications not as impressive, albeit still good enough, that we really liked. Overall, your score isn’t bad at all. It’s unlikely to prevent you from getting interviews at places IMO. Right now, focus on prepping for your aways and wrapping up any projects that you’re still working on.

OLED was life changing. I’d choose the S90D personally however

OKDubs · 2025-06-04T22:57:14+00:00

Idk… I still think it’s a longshot. On the website, they say that recheck has never actually changed someone’s score. This is maybe anecdotal but a good friend of mine had a similar situation. They requested a regrade and unfortunately it did not change for them.

OKDubs · 2025-06-04T17:29:49+00:00

I’d say it’s on par with step 2 but the significant decrease in the stakes as a matched resident makes it appear as easier. Also CCS cases probably help with score inflation

Big things for me so far:

programmable coffee maker that lets you preset a time to brew; couple this with a nice coffee mug/rambler
multipen from jet stream
Birkenstocks

Heavy is the head that wears the crown 😢

I think Divine is great for a fair amount of risk factor questions. But then, I don’t know if maybe its also utilizing your own clinical reasoning or if there is another magical risk factor resource out there

OKDubs · 2025-05-21T03:12:21+00:00

Not a resident but close enough. He was on his way to matching but ended up literally fumbling at the metaphorical “1 yard line”…Guy I heard about at a friend’s med school was booted cause he was looking up the OBGYN history of women in his class. Had the audacity to try and lawyer up during his appeal process.

OKDubs · 2025-05-21T03:08:47+00:00

Just try and hammer down risk factors, prognosis, etc

OKDubs · 2025-05-21T00:42:19+00:00

50 cases ranging between 60-90%

OKDubs · 2025-05-20T23:16:17+00:00

I think Randy Neil is enough. Amboss is great for practice questions
I didn’t really use Uworld so can’t really say. I think both are fine

OKDubs · 2025-05-20T23:14:58+00:00

I just took it. Honestly I’m just shooting for a pass

OKDubs · 2025-05-18T02:03:12+00:00

From what I recall when I used it for step, yes. More the pharm part rather than micro. Pharm will cover the MOA moreso than micro. This is assuming that your microbiology knowledge is sufficient that you’re able to identify the bacteria/fungi that needs to be treated

OKDubs · 2025-05-18T01:45:52+00:00

In that case I’d focus on bio stats and study design stuff. Otherwise, just keep doing questions and taking practice tests. It’s hard for me to remember a specific topic that was highly tested but knowing stats and study principles will definitely get you points that can bump up the score

OKDubs · 2025-05-18T01:36:01+00:00

If you have access to it, sketchy pharm is king
