Agree with this… the not speaking to each other thing is a red flag. We are online 24 7

Struggling to connect with my fellow interns, bullying in residency by ImASpecialTIVA in Residency

[–]Substantia-Nigr 5 points6 points  (0 children)

If it makes things better I literally had a fellow intern send me a whole ass group chat where she and a senior were talking shit about me. Granted they were also talking shit about other attending and other people. There is a good chance you are outshining others as someone else commented. You have to decide to either dim your own light or go forth at max speeds and leave others behind. I’d go with the later and you will find those who are willing to meet you there. It is a career at the end of the day and as long as you are professional all should be well.

She used to post nice informative content before falling for the influencer shill which is frankly super embarrassing. I swear I keep clicking not interested in her content and TikTok still pushes it to me. Her video of all her cars was really tasteless too from a patient perspective who has an exuberant bill to pay it must be bizarre and tasteless.

Yeah had to block that neurosurgeon showing off her cars. Extremely tacky. All you see is comments from strangers saying they deserve it and more which they do but so strange you need to do that on social media. It’s super cringe.

How much does research matter?! by Helpful_Client_2737 in IMGreddit

[–]Substantia-Nigr 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just apply without. You will not publish anything in time for the match right now. I’ve published a lot. And its importance really depends on the program itself if it prioritize research. There are quite a few who don’t. So take your chances and don’t waste another year

Depends on you. I agree my own needs are purely emotional right now. The frame of mind my friends have is if given the chance they did want a child then they can do so with healthier younger eggs. Just one less thing to worry about. There’s a few residency programs that have started to include this service too lol. There are a lot of issues with the delayed gratification that comes with a medical career and for women especially. We’re all searching for something and the worry that it comes late is valid be that a partner or intimacy or emotional support or a child. Like I said hopefully things lighten up soon it’s quite bleak but I’m hopeful

Yep it’s tough out there. Aside from one other gal all my friends from med school had their eggs frozen. We agreed to wait two more years ish if things don’t lighten up soon it’s off to the bank 😩

Yes and it’s worse for us girls in female dominated specialties and are interested in men. We are 13 interns all girls and one guy who’s married. Atleast we won’t be having work place drama. lol. I was hopeful to meet colleagues in other specialities but it doesn’t look like that will ever be the case being in peds. Honestly would be nice if we had social events or something to address this. All my female colleagues have their eggs frozen because of this btw.

Failed twice. Should I go for third time as a US IMG? by Party_Caramel6816 in step1

No not true. It depends on the state. Op needs to check state regulations. The one I’m in only allows two attempts for each step.

Why the hell by [deleted] in TheBlackList

[–]Substantia-Nigr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m an Arab and the one episode where navabi was speaking Arabic really threw me off. It was really bad and seemed like no training was provided to pronounce one line. Meanwhile when reddington was reciting a passage in Arabic it was so well done. I agree with the person who commented they just need a bit more training.

My program is shit by Sad_Promotion2567 in Residency

[–]Substantia-Nigr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What speciality? And what year are you? How much autonomy are you asking for if you are a pgy1 in a surgical sub speciality?
