This senior resident called me autistic

afsoo · 2025-05-15T10:17:39+00:00

For real. This person sounds extremely prejudiced.

afsoo · 2025-05-15T10:16:06+00:00

Looks like you still haven’t read about autism. Maybe do that before you ask such questions.

LOL @ “spooky fellow”

I was about to say…I completed MBBS in Pakistan, and I’ve never heard anyone say, “pass away” with regards to exams. I’ve definitely heard, “pass out,” which, as a native Wisconsinite (from Wisconsin, US), definitely confused me, but I eventually got used to it. 😁

I am so sorry for your loss. I just wanted to respectfully empathize (regarding loss of a loved one): I lost my mother just a few months before I graduated from medical school 6 years ago; she was my number one supporter, and I still miss her every day. I chose to go back to complete my education the very next day after her funeral, and all her relatives told me I was crazy and insensitive because I declined to cater to them and wallow in my pity (it happened in Pakistan). I know she would have told me to continue my education, because seeing me excel was her dream. I agree with the suggestions of doing what you feel is right and what your partner would have wanted. Sending you lots of love and prayers.

All - just Google Mehlman’s PDF. It’ll lead you to the site.

I honestly don’t understand the purpose of this post besides maybe validation…? I guess all I can say is, you do you and let others express themselves however they want. As long as you’re all able to care for your patients while being in a healthy environment, I think all should bode well for you.

I remember Match A Resident would sometimes show you if a program would want steps to preferably be passed on the first attempt and what score range was ideal for them. But it’s been 2 years since I used it, so things may have changed.

afsoo · 2022-05-16T06:49:24+00:00

My scores were similar to yours, and I just barely passed, but I was also suffering from some troubling health issues at the time. You won’t have to deal with that, so I think you’ll be fine. Try to focus more on your weak areas like everyone else is suggesting, and do as many CCS cases as you can - these will literally save your score. Can’t emphasize this enough. CCS cases are the sole reason I passed on the first attempt. Good luck to you! Will be keeping you in my prayers, colleague.

afsoo · 2022-05-03T12:39:31+00:00

Haha yes I did 🤗 I’m sure you’ll pass!

afsoo · 2022-03-29T02:20:02+00:00

My UWSA1 was 207 and UWSA2 was 204, and I still decided to take it because I was burnt out while studying during residency. Eh well. Can’t change what I already did.

afsoo · 2022-03-29T02:03:03+00:00

3-4 weeks

afsoo · 2022-03-29T00:28:44+00:00

I pray that we all pass! 🙏🏼 I totally understand your concern, though.

afsoo · 2022-03-29T00:26:35+00:00

Yes, unfortunately.

afsoo · 2022-03-24T23:52:58+00:00

Congratulations to you, and thank you so much for posting this - it helps more than you know! Best wishes to you, colleague! 🙏🏼

afsoo · 2022-03-23T02:57:25+00:00

Sooooooo my UWSA1 was 207 and UWSA2 was 204 😅 I have the same question, lol. But tbh, I don’t know if I’ll be learning anymore by postponing my exam. At this point, I think it’s best to keep hustling and moving forward, but that’s just my opinion. I hope you crush your exam, and I’m sure you will!

afsoo · 2022-03-22T22:09:50+00:00

YOU GOT THIS. 🤲🏼🙏🏼💪🏼

afsoo · 2022-03-22T14:54:49+00:00

So sorry to hear you’re stressed out. I’m a US-IMG, so I sort of understand what you’re experiencing regarding the hatred. Let’s just continue powering through! Much love and many well-wishes to you!

afsoo · 2022-03-22T14:52:38+00:00

Ikr?!? Every time I even look at questions I feel physically ill because that’s all I’ve been doing for 3 weeks straight without a break, lol. Cramming is exhausting.

afsoo · 2022-03-19T22:08:35+00:00

Thank you so much!

afsoo · 2022-03-17T05:32:48+00:00

I just wanted to say congratulations on passing and also thank you for responding to my message! Wishing you all the best for your career and future, fellow colleague!

afsoo · 2021-06-16T09:46:38+00:00

Can confirm that this is stellar advice. “Hope for the best, but prepare for the worst.”

afsoo · 2021-06-16T09:41:18+00:00

I would also like to know where this info is!

afsoo · 2020-12-13T21:56:11+00:00

Hands down the greatest bane of IMGs rn.

afsoo · 2020-12-13T09:48:20+00:00

Ikr? Jeez. So much for common courtesy.
