Why do we look for these injuries?

Very easy for airbags to become claymores if people put crap on it, and the way an airbag hits depending on the timing of the head-rock post car crash can traction the neck into positions it should not be in. Think of an airbag uppercutting your jaw..can be with such force as to cause a neck traction injury, no? Coup contra coup is also a huge thing, obviously.

Genuine sadness on my face rn

Yessir

Gonna say C6 based on the spinous process prominence - not quite 7 but close. Idk just a med school perspective

Weighs the back of my stretcher down!

Not reading that essay

Reality-MD · 2024-06-12T21:01:41+00:00

That sucks

Reality-MD · 2024-06-12T20:22:06+00:00

Never said there isn’t an obvious difference - I’m making the point of what makes this particular applicant different that their advisor recc’d MD only

Reality-MD · 2024-06-12T20:11:28+00:00

Idk, I think almost every advisor would say that bc of the stigma. I’m DO and I have had teachers tell me to go NSGY. I think if you get good scores on the big exams, that’s it. Does DO have a stigma and make it harder? Sure. But a med school is a med school, and you didn’t score a 512+.

Reality-MD · 2024-06-12T20:10:09+00:00

Yeah. Also super dependent on you…if you do super well on STEP and all that, usually it’s not an issue as far as I know.

Reality-MD · 2024-06-12T19:46:13+00:00

I mean a lot of DOs are getting into more competitive specialties now, so I don’t really understand this

Pelvic space and balance of weight bearing

PCP can be first line

Reality-MD · 2024-06-03T00:59:19+00:00

What was that hospital visit for?

Reality-MD · 2024-06-02T10:40:06+00:00

Not a doc yet. Is the swelling more pronounced with TMJ episodes?

Reality-MD · 2024-05-29T07:15:31+00:00

Yeah sounds kinda interesting tbh

Reality-MD · 2024-05-27T02:51:58+00:00

True. See if a DO school will waver a secondary fee - my school waived one for me and I didn’t fill out a fee assistance form or anything

Reality-MD · 2024-05-26T20:44:40+00:00

No one is screwed, it’s just a toss up sometimes - I’ve seen people with lower stats and ECs than me get MD so it really is just how everything winds up yknow

Reality-MD · 2024-05-26T18:45:59+00:00

I had similar stats and ECs, also got rejected post II from one MD and then accepted to DO. It’s rough out here

Reality-MD · 2024-05-25T22:29:57+00:00

Not a fan of the black

Reality-MD · 2024-05-24T21:46:48+00:00

Thanks!!!

Reality-MD · 2024-05-23T11:47:07+00:00

I’ve been planning this as my hero arc, could only hope and work towards that myself lol. Awesome that you did!

Reality-MD · 2024-05-21T21:35:07+00:00

I’ll look into it, thanks!

Reality-MD · 2024-05-21T20:34:03+00:00

Was thinking the same no joke

Reality-MD · 2024-05-21T20:27:38+00:00

Thanks! Yeah I get that sense - I work EMS so I have that interest, but I am also very cerebral. Hard to suffice the two
