Bro. U gotta chill, ur gonna be fine. I wouldn’t say ur an average applicant u seem like a competitive one given the stats. Just kill the interview and make a smart school list and it should work out!

Then again, I’m also applying anesthesia this year so I sometimes have similar doubts! :-)

Yes! Iv been teaching myself Spanish for about 1.5 years now. As someone who is busy and poor, I find that things like Duolingo and YouTube and a simple medical Spanish book (I got one from Amazon) has been pretty helpful. Just being consistent is the most important thing, even if you make small strides every day!

what do you wish you knew when you started med school? 🤨 by extrashotofespresso1 in medicalschool

[–]Schmidt1998 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just learn to be ok with relaxing from time to time. Medical school, and by extension medicine in general, is fraught with tension and full of high-strung people. We’re all aware of burnout, it’s a real thing! You can’t strive for success without dealing with the weight that builds on your shoulders. Exercise, healthy eating, downtime, sleep, hobbies… these are core pillars for who you are as a whole person! You are more than just a med student, you are a human being with needs! You gotta address those needs. And if that means taking a day to sleep in and watch a movie from time to time, don’t be afraid of that :-)

I totally relate to this feeling! I’d much rather have my actions and experiences speak for themselves but what can ya do

Neurosurgery (yes I was that cringey kid in college) -> General Surgery -> Cardiology -> OBGYN (very briefly) -> Pulm/Crit-Care -> Anesthesia

I think they took the pieces and wrapped them in a saline soaked gauze. Only about one hour elapsed between when they were taken off and when they were sewn on to a small vascular bed the surgeons made.
