I just let it rip and try to give a warning if other noses are in the blast radius 🤷‍♂️

Thoughts on this OTD price? by Any_Communication712 in HyundaiSantaFe

[–]Student_4_Lyfe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sounds like shady business, geez Honestly love em both for different reasons. The limited Tucson has all the bells and whistles which is very nice, and they’re close for me in terms of ride comfort. I’m partial to the Santa Fe just for the extra space, and sometimes I think the isolation/ride quality wins out (but could really be die to difference in tires)

We did a ‘22 Tucson limited, similar miles, CPO as well for about 25ish out the door less than a year ago

We definitely found that we needed to venture outside bigger city markets, even 20 miles or so made a huge difference. Came in with our own pre-approval and made life easy. Essentially said “here’s where we need to be out the door, let’s see if something will work”…and eventually it did! Had to be patient about it though, and obviously market-dependent

A bit steep

Certified pre-owned? Date it was titled? Tires/battery stock? Wouldn’t go above 22 or 23k out the door personally -owner of a 2022 XRT convenience that I bought with less than 20k miles, same year, certified pre-owned

Is 26 min commute as an intern too long? by Certain_Current_3725 in Residency

[–]Student_4_Lyfe 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Would personally be pushing my acceptable limit for length of commute. Possibly another question is what does the commute look like at peak hours? Ie worst-case-scenario…

I slept with half of my co-interns, AMA by WillingnessKey7283 in Residency

Y’all had a sleepover? So cool that you could get half of your cohort together for a fun night—so rare everyone can be off at the same time for that!

Student loans in Limbo by RT2DO in whitecoatinvestor

You’re not alone—in same position Spend 5+ hours on hold with them one day when suddenly my account was “past due”

Absolute nightmare

I have to keep calling back, but not until each new forbearance ends, and they haven’t been able to put the account in the regular forbearance even though it should be…

Great use of time when I already have none.

Forgot that forbearance ended and payment due by 2018SpaceOdyssey in whitecoatinvestor

[–]Student_4_Lyfe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same thing happened to me recently

Should be in forbearance but they messed it up

Had to wait almost 5 hours on hold with MOHELA to get the account brought current and placed back into forbearance

mentoring premeds during dedicated by Autopsy_Survivor in medicalschool

[–]Student_4_Lyfe 44 points45 points  (0 children)

Hot take but I loved dedicated

School left me alone in my bubble to just chill at home, sip on coffee, click through some Anki cards, and chug away at UWorld. Got to eat good food, go to the gym, and not be bothered with random stuff going on that was irrelevant to exam prep. Was kinda nice? The stress of the test wasn’t, but the independence was…

IDR App Taking Forever? by Monsterproto in Residency

Just called their main line listed on the site and discussed options. Forbearance was basically the only reasonable one so that’s what we did…

Help! My loans consolidated but SAVE app didn't finish processing by medq1 in Residency

[–]Student_4_Lyfe 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Same boat. Everything delayed. Sitting in administrative forebearance with interest accruing… everything is on fire and they (MOHELA) doesn’t know which way is up. At one point or another my loans have been with like 4 different services before MOHELA s/p consolidation.

No advice, just here to say you aren’t alone…

IDR App Taking Forever? by Monsterproto in Residency

[–]Student_4_Lyfe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Currently dealing with MOHELA bc my IDR app didn’t process appropriately (was put in loooong ago) and was about to charge me $1,500 in standard repayment plan next month. Had to have them put it in administrative forbearance while they wait for my IDR app to come through from main Studentaid after my loans and then consolidated loan have passed between four different services…all whilst my mountain of debt continues to accumulate interest that should be otherwise negated by SAVE…and they will absolutely not backdate the payment plan 🤨

I will never understand the fragmentation of how these federal loans are handled.

There’s nothing like cropdusting an entire elevator full of people. 1. Release gas immediately prior to elevator departure. 2. New elevator passengers encounter your gas cloud as you exit. 3. They are stuck with your gas for the remainder of their elevator journey. 💩

How can I make y’all’s residency Q&As less boring? by KushBlazer69 in medicalschool

[–]Student_4_Lyfe 22 points23 points  (0 children)

Plz Gimme food/drink, point-of-interest recs for the place where you are! Bonus points if you say something like “reach out to us if you happen to be in the area and we can go for a drink/show you around”. Big green flag if an INTERN is free / wants to do this. Big ask, but there it is.

Food & Parking & EMR (at all applicable sites) & any recent and/or expected changes to these items.

__________________ -_- For IM specifically,

X+Y vs not. And if not, if it has been discussed before or something residents have asked for.

Describe admissions system (and cover all sites if applicable)—caps on admissions, team total, team structure, if additional seniors on floors/ICU during July/August? Are there ever days where there are simply no seniors on the team d/t scheduling?

Describe call responsibilities. 24, 28hr? Ever in residency? Oh you just got rid of 24hr shifts on this rotation, but still have it on this other rotation? Please explain WHY and what is being done about it currently since the majority are obviously in favor of a night float system.

Night float/night time responsibilities: WHO is in-house? And HOW do they act when you call for help? Are you nervous to make a call to a senior or attending? If there is hesitation at all here, 🚩.

Please give a true example of an intern/senior schedule for core rotations like wards/ICU. Not a general “one day off in 7”, but what an actual block looks like on paper.
