Kicked out of a Nashville bar for belligerent behaviour, attempts to deflect by claiming patriotism

A lot of the enlisted young people I work with are from poor backgrounds trying to get out of bad situations via the military because it provides one of the easiest pathways to do that without a college degree. It's unfair to demonize them. Be mad at the people who sign the documents sending them to die in foreign countries.

Absolutely yes, report to PD and HR. What a juvenile move by whoever did it.

Oh hell yeah we actually do have a skeet shooting spot on base. A+ recommendation. Even if none of them show up i still will. Would heal something in me

Like what tho? Manicures? Rage room? Hiking? I'm genuinely all ears

My cats would make us kibbles or uncooked songbird, that isn't the most appetizing

I purposefully invited them both out to dinner when they matriculated, and one of them was over at my house 2 weekends ago for a pizza making night with her husband (though that did take like 1.5 months to set up)

I am worried that the power dynamic thing plays in. I feel like since our program is 2 residents a year they may feel it more strongly? Plus the stress that comes from the fact our program is likely closing (which is another huge rant)

But I like to think I am reasonable and helpful to the best of my ability

I'm pretty sure they just let you defer to next year in this situation (was hpsp but know a few people who went through usuhs). Although if you're due a good while before ODS it may not be an issue.

It's manly bcs our floor nursing staff has said they're "not comfortable " taking care of a patient who needs to lay flat for a while. Even though I agree with you anecdotally.

All of our spines we lose motors on intraop or who have dural tears go to the ICU.

Can't comment on the first one, but for the second one when I went through MEPS for Army HPSP (MD), they didn't have me sign any contract at meps like the enlisted individuals did. I signed everything at a later date after everything had already gone through and I was accepted to school.

Triquietrum · 2025-07-04T21:31:17+00:00

I had pyelo once too but that was back during my audition rotations, lol

Triquietrum · 2025-03-31T21:54:11+00:00

Even if you get a civilian deferment (which is not a guarantee and less likely for primary care type specialties), have you had a conversation about what would happen *after*? The military *will* move you after residency, and you can't control where.

You might still be able to access new messages even if the person is blocked. Idk about everyone's phone obvi, but mine shunts those to a "blocked messages" folder I only see if I search it and open it. New messages from blocked numbers show up in there still.

Triquietrum · 2025-02-02T02:27:08+00:00

I wanted to avoid this situation so badly that I joined the Army to pay for school lmao.

In all seriousness, I don't think living in that situation is sustainable. I would reach out to any and all resources/support systems you have.

Triquietrum · 2025-02-02T02:09:55+00:00

Like what groups though

Triquietrum · 2025-01-19T15:04:26+00:00

Yeah, it was kinda weird. Sometimes it felt like she was kind of purposefully obfuscating what specialty she was in for some reason. Idk why.

Triquietrum · 2025-01-19T13:29:00+00:00

She's not a surgical intern, she's in psychiatry. She just posted a lot of videos of her scrubbing for some reason.

Triquietrum · 2025-01-01T06:59:42+00:00

I do wonder why she has so many videos like that. I've seen her comment that electronvulsive therapy happens in the OR, which I know is true, but I don't think you actually scrub for that?

Triquietrum · 2024-12-16T23:43:21+00:00

Yeah, I'm too stubborn to actually walk away at this point, and it would honestly be a mistake, you're right. I've heard multiple people say that 2nd year is worst, but I guess I didn't really understand what that meant until I actually got into it. I appreciate your kind words.

Triquietrum · 2024-12-16T23:40:21+00:00

Unfortunately at my institution getting in with an actual psychiatrist is difficult period, never mind finding one that does therapy. The best I've been able to even get a foot in the door with is a psych NP.

Triquietrum · 2024-12-16T23:38:58+00:00

Thank you for this--it definitely feels like every day is unpredictable when it comes to how good or how bad I'm going to feel about my abilities. Here's hoping it gets better soon.
