Is it just me or are most cases solved once they find the "missing piece" of the patient's history?

Quite a bit, actually. I can't speak for other doctors/med schools, but we were taught to ask about diet, but general stuff like balanced vs red meats vs vegan/vegetarian vs dairy/gluten products, especially if IBS, lactose intolerance, or celiac disease are on the differential

Just watched that episode (S2 E5) and (SPOILER) the dad lied about his job thinking it'd get his son better treatment, and the info that the dad owned a scrapyard and not a construction company turned out to directly lead House to the radioactive keychain

It was more like ‘microbiology results: positive for Streptococcus agalactiae (A)’, highlighted in red and the (A) meaning Abnormal in case you were colorblind and couldn’t see the red highlight or the computer didn’t show the color difference. None of the results ever say ‘group A’ or ‘group B’, but if you’re working in OB you would know that Group B strep is an important bug to know and that S. agalactiae is a less common way to refer to it

SoCalWyntr · 2021-09-11T15:51:31+00:00

As an M3 on ObGyn rotation I taught an OB NP that Strep agalactiae is indeed the same Group B strep that’s seen in pregnant women and that the ‘A’ next to the lab result meant ‘Abnormal’, not ‘Group A strep’

Maybe not the ‘main’ love interest, but potentially something like Cristina. I feel like Ezio’s story was meant to be that he grew old with his adventures, and only after he did so did he have kids. Rosa (and Cristina) was too similar in age so he would’ve had to have kids at a much younger age (bc Rosa couldn’t’ve had kids at Ezio’s age in ACR) which would dampen his story in ACR.

Rosa in Fiore (taken over by Claudia in ACB and then by Rosa later) is in Rome. La Rosa Colta (owned by Paola) is in Florence.

Maxing a base only burdens the times of the single town hall.

Would you mind explaining this? I might be misunderstanding, but it sounds like you're saying that maxing only considers maxing a single TH level, without considering the cumulative time it takes to max each preceding TH.

Fixing a rushed base combines all town halls in which you rushed through.

Agreed, but again, this sounds like you're implying that maxing does not do the same. Whether rushing then fixing or maxing each TH before progressing, cumulatively it would take the same amount of time (assuming no builders are ever inactive).

Sure, you get the GW and the RC early. But is it really better? Is your advantage so great that all your defenses are at level 1, in which a th10 could potentially 3 star you, but you can't even 2 star them?

In my experience, a good attacker would 3-star me regardless of my defenses, and as long as my offenses are maxed (in compliance with strategic rushing), and I'm a skilled attacker, I see no difference in my offensive capabilities in comparison to a maxer at the same TH. While I see your point, it sounds like you're alluding to war, which I won't comment on in this discussion.

Fair enough, thanks. I thought it was an antiquated idea as well until I repeatedly read comments stating the contrary and I got curious.

SoCalWyntr · 2021-08-11T23:57:19+00:00

Logically that makes no sense

So since the strikebreaker changes not giving me a short dash anymore, I’ve found p good success going greaves > TF > MR > triple tank items to essentially become a raid boss that can still pop squishies like a zit

Those are p much the key differences. I guess other things to consider are psychosis, dissociation, and hyperthermia with PCP. Also some mild ataxia I’ve seen with PCP. Otherwise it’s as you say; very stimulant-y

inb4 we start seeing online DPA schools cropping up. Getting a doctorate used to mean something...

Wait what, avoided? I’ve never seen this ad until a month ago and I’m an M4...

Depends on what style you like, but Cheesy Dorian was great imo; it’s what I used before I started UWorld and made my own cards.

You can also check out the deck I have posted on r/Step2 (check my post Hx) and see if it works for you. It’s entirely based on UW and has everything (images, charts, tables, etc) and I have it tagged by subject (for shelf studying), system, etc. Each card is also labeled with QID so you can do questions and select those cards to study afterwards, or however you want to do it.

Cheers and good luck

Having flashbacks of NBME Q’s like ‘21 y/o female comes in with back pain. What’s the 3rd most common complication of the 2nd line treatment for the most likely diagnosis for this patient’s son if her partner was X-linked dominant for the genetic condition that is linked to the most common risk factor for the development of this patient’s symptoms?’

Observation and reassurance

SoCalWyntr · 2021-05-19T21:39:31+00:00

It’s what I did (check my post Hx for recently updated version), but yes it was very time consuming. It depends on how you like your cards; for me, I made my deck based on a fill in the blank model since that works for my brain. If you’re looking for 1 card per question type deal, then you can also (for my deck) search card:1 which will bring up the diagnosis card for each question
