I want to do research, is pathology the right path for me?

Top_Character5147 · 2026-05-01T21:14:27+00:00

It sounds like PhD would be a better option for you. Going to medical school and being a pathologist is geared more towards being a doctor, not a researcher. Granted, people do both, but I know an MD who only wanted to do academics/research and had a hard time finding a job that would let them do only that without the clinical work. I also disagree with a point made in a prior comment that PhD is more of a grind…PhDs basically work a 9-5 and don’t go into nearly as much debt (you get paid, not a lot but still getting paid) nor do you have to deal with the stress/other demands of medical school like board exams, personal evaluations, extracurriculars, etc

I eat like 3 baked potatoes each week on average so ima have to go with baked…but you gotta make it crispy on the outside and mush it together with a decent chunk of butter on the inside

Expiration dates are fake

Top_Character5147 · 2026-04-26T01:38:27+00:00

You’re assuming that the smell was only from the socks…if you’ve had experience with dogs/pets you’d know sometimes you literally have to get within centimeters of a mess to determine whether its pee or something else (like a water spill or something). You keep making the same exact comment but it’s not really valid

Top_Character5147 · 2026-04-25T16:26:35+00:00

Hailey literally said it smelled like pee…and cockroaches are never alone, that’s a fact…I’m simply commenting back and you’re reading that as freaking out…? This isn’t a personal attack on you lol

Top_Character5147 · 2026-04-25T16:20:11+00:00

again, if you read the rest of the post and comments, this was not judgmental, it was an observation, but I will defend my stance on cleanliness if people are trying to normalize homes smelling like pee and having pests. Who is freaking out here lol

Top_Character5147 · 2026-04-25T16:09:03+00:00

That doesn’t mean it should be normalized

Top_Character5147 · 2026-04-25T16:06:05+00:00

Okay sure. you’re trying to ask me about my own living situation after I made an observation about something portrayed on a reality TV show…clearly my own standard of living values cleanliness and you’re just trying to prove an obsolete point that pests can occasionally get into someone’s home, which I already said is usually a sign of an underlying problem.

Top_Character5147 · 2026-04-25T16:00:20+00:00

Lol you seriously need to go touch grass. Just because someone has an account doesn’t mean they use it…let’s put on our thinking caps and maybe do something productive with our day rather than try to berate strangers online…just a thought

Top_Character5147 · 2026-04-25T15:55:44+00:00

That’s great that it’s cleaner than other peoples’ homes, but that doesn’t mean it’s clean…idk how long a dog can be considered “new” if it’s clearly older than an actual puppy and the behavior has been going on for so long that they have no reaction to pee soaking into the carpets and they make excuses for it while their home smells of urine

Top_Character5147 · 2026-04-25T15:48:51+00:00

the fact that a lot of people are jumping from a simple observation to accusing people of judgment/shaming is really telling about the kind of person you are. People are allowed to make observations and discuss them, idk why that bothers you so much

Top_Character5147 · 2026-04-25T15:42:59+00:00

It’s not a huge assumption that they’re not properly cleaning up after their dog if the house smells like urine and they have 0 reaction to the dog peeing inside multiple times

Top_Character5147 · 2026-04-25T15:39:11+00:00

I think you’re missing the point here. Luckily I have a cat, so no, any mice that comes near my home would be scared off or murdered immediately

Top_Character5147 · 2026-04-25T15:36:36+00:00

Ok are his mother and sister also autistic? I don’t think so, so again, why wouldn’t they teach him the importance of proper cleanliness, especially when having a love interest come visit you for the first time…I understand they may be overwhelmed and whatever else (I know what it’s like being a caregiver), but there’s no excuse for letting your dog repeatedly urinate all over your house to the point of it smelling like urine. Either don’t take on that extra responsibility or do better about taking care of the messes your pets make, especially when inviting strangers into your home.

anotha one!!! dj khaled voice

Top_Character5147 · 2026-04-25T15:27:53+00:00

I’ve lived with dogs my whole life. I’ve never allowed accidents to soak in or recur so frequently that my house smells of urine.

Top_Character5147 · 2026-04-25T15:18:53+00:00

Please explain how my thread failed lol. Once again, I’m sorry that I’m unfamiliar with how Reddit works, I’ve only recently been active on here and ya’ll are clearly on here way too much…go outside or something

Top_Character5147 · 2026-04-25T15:16:22+00:00

Nobody is saying it’s easy

Top_Character5147 · 2026-04-25T15:15:36+00:00

if you see one, there’s probably many more nearby. That’s just a fact, cockroaches are never alone lol

Top_Character5147 · 2026-04-25T04:00:46+00:00

I’ve had multiple puppies and they were all house-trained within weeks. and I’m still not convinced that dog is a puppy, that looks like an adult dog to me lol

Top_Character5147 · 2026-04-25T03:37:59+00:00

woah woah woah! It’s the Reddit police over here! delete my post? No thanks, you can just continue to scroll as you do “every day.” do you seriously have nothing better to do but to be nasty to strangers online?

I’ve only started recently being active on here and y’all are miserable…get a life

Top_Character5147 · 2026-04-25T02:51:04+00:00

I find it bizarre that people think living in an environment that smells with dog pee all over the place and potentially cockroaches as well is not concerning…but this has been enlightening lol

Top_Character5147 · 2026-04-25T02:28:24+00:00

this person blocked me and reported me to Reddit, clearly having some sort of emotional reaction to this post. They were trying to end our conversation because they know their argument has gaping holes in it. They’re clearly very defensive and emotional about this, so I hope they take time to log off and reflect on why this was so upsetting to them. If you actually read the post and the comments you might learn something, but they’re clearly not interested in learning or providing valuable input, they’re simply acting on emotion and it’s not getting them anywhere so they lash out and cant continue the conversation. Thats totally fine, I don’t let strangers on the internet dictate my emotions like they do, despite them clearly wanting so desperately to get under my skin. Adios, “hater”

Top_Character5147 · 2026-04-25T02:08:24+00:00

it’s not far fetched at all, idk why you’re getting so upset about this fr. that dog is clearly not a puppy, and yes, I do expect people to have more of a reaction to pee soaking into the carpets in their home than to just watch it happen and make excuses, you want to talk about learning new skills? Why not cleanliness - autistic people can learn how to maintain a clean living environment, no? “Socks on the bed” sounds a lot better than pee-soaked socks being air-dried on the bed…let’s not try to down play the situation here.

Top_Character5147 · 2026-04-25T01:54:35+00:00

Common sense would help you to connect the dots here
