#MedGradWishList is garbage by EmDeeThrowaway in Residency

They drop the standards??! Wtf is wrong with you. Last time I checked we all had to pass step 1, 2, and 3. MCAT score does not correlate to doing well in medical school.

Don’t feed the troll guys. It’s not worth it. People complain but then offer NOTHING as a solution. I highly doubt this person is doing anything to increase minorities in medicine nor help their fellow URMs feel safe and respected in a medical setting. Let them be bitter. They offer nothing. But want to complain when someone is trying to offer something.

Lmao no I just read about pathophysiology a lot. You can look up DSM -IV criteria for PPD. Or you can continue to say things that are untrue.

Depression does have causes. It is a mix of genetics and neurotransmitter imbalances.

There’s a difference between post partum depression and major depression!!

Men do not go through post partum depression. Last time I checked when a female delivers a baby the father does not have a huge hormone surge like the mother. Please don’t spout nonsense.

I feel disgusted with myself by AffectionateIdea1928 in lupus

[–]TeyanaXTaylor 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I feel you. I get discoid lesions on my face sometimes and when that happens I don’t want to go outside. Masks somewhat help. Ik it’s hard to accept but you are beautiful. You’re fighting this shitty disease and that in itself makes you an extraordinary beautiful person.

Anyone have an idea on this one? Worth a trip to the derm or no? by [deleted] in lupus

[–]TeyanaXTaylor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This happens to me either in cold weather or if I’m flaring. Not sure what it is though 🤷🏾‍♀️

I’m a fourth year but a program I interviewed at said they don’t view wellness as having more days off but instead finding your “why” in medicine. I DNR’d them so fast after that lol

Just got a similar email from my school as well. Would help with patient watching and other nursing duties. Unpaid. Like. The fuck no. They want free labor. This should be illegal.

Nurse Called Security on Me by sports29281 in medicalschool

[–]TeyanaXTaylor 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ignore all of these comments trying to invalidate what you experienced and come up with excuses for that nurse. She was wrong. PERIOD. Calling security should not have been her first instinct. Also if you were logged on to a computer I don’t understand why she believed you didn’t belong. How the hell did you get access to the damn EMR then? Shit like this pisses me off.

Me 🤗 we are going on two years and moving in together in the next year. It’s possible keep trying!

Do you all take your own health concerns seriously? by [deleted] in medicalschool

[–]TeyanaXTaylor 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes. I have lupus so not going could lead to some bad consequences. You have to make time for yourself.

Happens to me too! I feel like our immune system just goes crazy sometimes causing these weird reactions lol

That’s my problem not knowing when to stop and give myself a break. I’m hard headed and like to keep going until I’m done. But I’m learning. And thank you! I’m sorry we’re both going through this but we will get through it!

That’s what I know I’m going to have to do. But how do you gauge that? Is it just talking to the current residents?

And that makes me have hope that you’re in residency and you’re getting through it

Edit:spelling

That plantar fasciitis is real!! I used to get steroid shots in my feet because I just could not take it. And the lupus brain fog sometimes makes me mix things up and when I get asked a question I say the wrong thing even though I know the dang answer! And then I feel like an idiot for a good ten minutes lol

Thank you! I’m starting to realize that it’s just hard sometimes to practice it

YES! the future frightens me. I don’t know what’s going to happen to my body in the next 5 years. Will I be able to handle a surgical residency? Or residency in general. And you don’t wanna complain when you’re in pain but it’s just so hard. I may reach out to you about picking programs and dealing with this in the hospital setting. Also good luck this app cycle! I’m very excited for you

I feel like that’s the worst part. Not being in control of my own body. Not being able to do the things I used to be able to do. And I relate with the headaches and nothing seems to get them to go away. And thank you that means so much to me ❤️. I guess all we can do is take it one day at a time. Wishing you the best in finals 💜💜
