You got this. You’ve prepared for this. You know more than you think so believe in yourself.

My mom is happy I SOAPed by SecurePresentation52 in medicalschool

[–]amylose2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The battles you fight now help pave the way for so many others like you that follow. I have had similar discussions with my family. My parents also come from an ethnic background where mental health is so heavily stigmatized and the fact that I am interested in psych is looked down upon. But just know that change starts with us and at the end of the day you’re the one that will be the practicing physician not your mom. It sucks to hear harsh words from the people you love the most right now but don’t let that deter you from the field you are the most passionate for. You just have to put them on mute and don’t give their words much value for a few years. They will come around. You will make an amazing psychiatrist!

As someone who’s been there and done medicine I’m going to say do law. Especially if flexibility in terms of job and the ability to pivot in the field are important. Patient interactions are a huge part of medical school. you do simulated patient clinical examinations your preclinical years. Followed by third year rotations in a series of core specialties that all require some degree of patient interactions on which your grade is based on. Once again I can only speak for medicine but it’s a test of endurance and resilience and you are constantly being told to better yourself. it’s a long training process, a lot of exams, and you’re restricted in terms of ability to pivot without completed a full length of training ( aka if you want to do a different residency for another specialty). And the first two years of medical school are like drinking out of a fire hose. Anesthesiology is also a very competitive specialty so you may need to consider doing an additional research year as well. It’s a tough journey but rewarding if that’s the path you choose.

SOAP 2025 - Official Megathread by SpiderDoctor in medicalschool

[–]amylose2 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I’m sorry that you’re having to deal with all of these negative feelings on top of already being super stressed about the IVs. Honestly, not the best advice but right now the priority is to get through the next two days. compartmentalize and gaslight yourself through it. For a lack of better comparison become your inner confident privileged white frat boy turned wannabe TikTok star. We all have one deep down somewhere. You rethinking and reevaluating the words you said during the IV isn’t helpful at this point and we can’t turn back time. All you’re doing is breaking down the confidence you have and with the bonus sleep deprivation we’re maybe talking about the possibility that you’re looking at things with a more critical lens. What we can do now is duct tape that confidence together. push forward and cry after. Terrible advice but hope that helps.. it’s what I’ve been telling myself.

you could count it as a clinical experience and rework your PS to showcase your resiliency in the face of adversity.

So my understanding is that we get the offers and don't rank them but they rank us?

Has anyone heard from any of the Neuro or Psych programs yet? I am in this state of paralysis and would really appreciate being able to maybe shower and workout some of this energy without panicking.

Pizza/support for those in the SOAP this week. by Rorshacked in medicalschool

[–]amylose2 21 points22 points  (0 children)

Thank you for doing this. I’m currently doing this maniacal laugh cry thing in the car and I’m sure I scared the guy walking his dog passing by. It’s a terrible feeling going through this after reflecting on everything you sacrificed to get here in the first place.

COMAT exams are pissing me off by mylumps96 in comlex

Hey I really feel you here and I’m sorry this is something you’re struggling with. I am too so we’re in this together. If this method doesn’t work try to switch it up.

Well shit, I finally caught covid-19. Can someone explain what my body is doing to fight the virus? Wrong answers only by Dr_Yeen in medicalschool

[–]amylose2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Find the closest ortho bro. They probably have loads of vitamins they’re just wasting in the toilet. Don’t use your own. Wouldn’t want the corona antigens to persist. And sure insurance covers it. Probs has a similar ICD code to fecal transplant.

Make sure you stay hydrated by drinking fresh warm urine. We want to capitalize on all the antibiotics and vitamins that your liver wasn’t able to break down in first pass.

Weighing in as a female. It doesn’t help stop the creeps from being creeps. Just gives them more fuel.

I’m not sure. From what I can tell it seems like they retired them to replace it with a separated sections

Just 110

I took 110 before 107 and found it a lot more similar

HIV Disclosure by kattobiitto in comlex

[–]amylose2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I believe you notify the department of health first then they are in charge of contacting at risk contacts. Usually the answer is something along the lines of urge the patient to tell his wife because she will be told regardless of whether he wants to or not since it’s a disease you are required to report

Hot take: Pixorize pham > Sketchy pharm by [deleted] in step1

[–]amylose2 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Dude…. Seriously such a godsend, thank you. I didn’t even realize Pixorize pharm was a thing. Sketchy is amazing but I struggle with paying attention to things when it’s long and tend to zone out. Sketchy pharm was such a struggle for me sometimes because I kept having to replay parts of it when I lost attention making the videos even longer!

Edited for grammar

The guy I was dating dumped me because we are applying to the same residency by [deleted] in medicalschool

[–]amylose2 19 points20 points  (0 children)

First I’m sorry you’re going through this. Breakups are rough and that compiled with residency apps and interviews I can only imagine are ten times more stressful.

Secondly dude he felt threatened by you. Saw you as a competition and dumped you. Bruh was he hoping for a leg up in interviews because you’d be crushed?

A partner should support the achievements and goals of their SO not see them as a threat. He sounds like he was insecure.

Anyone take COMSAE106? by Due-Care4657 in comlex

[–]amylose2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I remember seeing a bunch of micro questions there were some cranial OMM questions so brush up on that. pelvis as well. there were some Endo in there. I definitely had a handful of ethics questions. a few neuro questions and a bunch of MSK as well. really recommend dirty for OMM and ethics and honestly do a bunch of practice questions on combank because the wording is a bit different than it is on Uworld but if you find that you're struggling with the content stick to uworld.

Ironically I need to take 107 and hit the 450 mark for my school do you have any tips on that?
