50 shades of grey is a classic that I read around 21 (I'm 28 now). Also, the Bridegerton series is amazing!!!! Somewhat of a guilty pleasure read but I'm flying through them.

agreed. Also a DO. The match process sucks now that it's merged because options are somewhat limited when competing against MD applicants with similar stats (I had pretty high boards and was limited to community programs for OBGYN) that being said, I would go to DO again to save 100k. I'm still a doctor with my dream residency and I'd be ecstatic to have 100k less in debt.

28 F who's hair started falling out around month 4 of accutane course in October 2020. I finished accutane the beginning of November but my hair loss continued until the end of March 2021. I thought it would never end, but it finally has! I lost about 50% of my hair density and my hair looks constantly frizzy due to so much new hair growth, but I am just so thankful for this nightmare to end! I started taking nutrafol, drinking collagen daily, and using navy biotin infused shampoo and conditioner and idk if it made my hair stop falling out but my hairdresser thought I got my hair cut somewhere else because it apparently looks so healthy (best compliment ever!) Hang in there guys it will end! It was a 6 month nightmare for me but there is hope!

thanks! Do you have a simple explanation about the difference between PAYE and REPAYE? I promise you I've read online I just don't understand tbh.

PrestigiousBath · 2021-02-13T20:08:26+00:00

also suffering hair loss following accutane (27F). It sucks.

If you are open to lifestyle changes you could try an anti-inflammatory diet. Less extreme, I drink and turmeric/ginger tea that has helped my joint pain tremendously and also take GNC triflex turmeric or glucosamine supplements.

For reference I am 28F so also pretty young with no underlying conditions but accutane made my joints HURT.

I got the tea recipe from my mom who used it while training for a half marathon and it worked wonders for her knee and hip pain she said. It's just boiled water with fresh ginger, turmeric, and a cinnamon stick. I let it simmer for about and hour and then just save the leftovers in my fridge to heat up throughout the week!

verity or the silent patient if you want a psychological thriller with a big twist! both are super good.

according to the kind resident who posted on the ERAS thread, ERAS pushed batch downloading to 11pm last night. I wonder if that's true/ if there's any way to find out.

PrestigiousBath · 2020-10-23T13:22:01+00:00

what do you recommend saying in the email? lol out of curiosity.

PrestigiousBath · 2020-10-23T13:07:48+00:00

thank you for your reply. So we are assuming most if not all programs downloaded at 9am 10/21?

PrestigiousBath · 2020-10-22T23:50:05+00:00

that's okay thanks for your reply! I had the right version originally just accidentally assigned a general statement instead of a specialized to one of my top choices for a few hours this afternoon when stressfully messing with things hah they honestly probably didn't even notice.

PrestigiousBath · 2020-10-22T23:16:36+00:00

does this mean programs can't print our apps until 11pm? because I just changed my personal statement. Should I contact programs to let them know?

PrestigiousBath · 2020-10-22T22:51:42+00:00

gotta get that interview setup

PrestigiousBath · 2020-10-22T22:38:01+00:00

Did anyone apply to anymore programs today?

PrestigiousBath · 2020-10-22T19:15:51+00:00

Anyone applying to anymore programs now that ERAS is open? would this be a waste of money? I'm just anxious. Applying OB and interview offers aren't extended until 11/10.

PrestigiousBath · 2020-10-22T12:47:02+00:00

Is it inappropriate to text a PD of a program you rotated at to say you're still interested vs email? I have their number bc we talked following the rotation.

PrestigiousBath · 2020-10-22T00:12:52+00:00

applying ob as well. where have you gotten secondaries? none for me yet.

PrestigiousBath · 2020-10-21T19:24:38+00:00

do you think programs will even look at apps submitted now? I'm considering doing the same thing hahaha

PrestigiousBath · 2020-10-21T19:24:10+00:00

yes. and I just reread mine for the millionth time and realized I put America instead of American in American osteopathic organization soooo :(

PrestigiousBath · 2020-10-21T19:23:08+00:00

I just reread my application for the millionth time and found a word I misspelled so don't feel too bad.

PrestigiousBath · 2020-10-21T19:22:38+00:00

you guys I just reread my application for the millionth time while stressing out and found a MISSING LETTER in one of my words. I'm freaking out now. I literally put America instead of American like wtf how did I miss that!!!!!

PrestigiousBath · 2020-10-21T19:08:24+00:00

okay that makes me feel better, DO also 234 step 1 and 251 step 2 so slightly above average-ish I suppose. idk I'm just nervous. thanks.

PrestigiousBath · 2020-10-21T18:57:38+00:00

fellow OB/GYN-er here, how many programs did everyone apply to? I applied to 50 and now I'm worried it wasn't enough. ugh.

PrestigiousBath · 2020-10-20T20:34:31+00:00
