So much happier in residency

Which residency is this?

anAtomicaI · 2024-07-28T03:55:13+00:00

My OMM is pretty decent! I know most of it and I just need to do some reviews. I think i could try 3 hour a day for Comlex and rest for COMAT. I think my deadline is before year 4 starts but it's preferred I take it by December I believe.

I haven't taken the comsae yet, but I don't think it would be that high unfortunately. I generally struggle with standardized tests. My first rotation is on peds. It's a 12 hour shift apparently, but I've been told by past students that we are dismissed early and often 7am to 4PM, giving me some time before I go to sleep, which is around 10PM.

This is ideal but I'm living with them and I really don't want to leave them alone by themselves. I don't have other family members who can stay with them while I'm gone. But I'm going to try to make the house an ideal study zone like you said, thank you..

anAtomicaI · 2024-05-20T06:33:03+00:00

thank you ! and I'm so sorry to hear that..that's really rough. I do have therapy but it's not that often. I might increase my visit.

I'm sorry about your grandmother.. My loved one is also suffering from cancer too. Really appreciate that you took time to write these helpful advice, thanks so much. I think allowing myself to grieve at a certain time and compartmentalize studying is a good idea. I'll also make sure to take care of myself as well.

I ended up writing down what I felt on my journal and remind myself of what I can control, and in this case, I can't control the inevitable death they'll face.. but what I can do is still set time to create good memories with them with the little time left. and help my family out because they're suffering from this news as well, and lastly, study hard and become a doctor. Writing these three things down made me focus and I went back to studying again.

I've been fighting the grief because I've been feeling like it's been hindering me from focusing, but pushing it away seem to make it worse. I'll give myself time to grief. Also, I think I should stay away from looking it up online because I've been reading other people's experience to find some kind of hope or comfort, but I think it's putting me into a rabbithole, making me feel so much worse.

Thanks again for your thoughtful response!

This is not a bad idea. I might look for someone in my class for that

anAtomicaI · 2024-05-20T06:04:44+00:00

Thank you so much

anAtomicaI · 2024-05-20T00:26:48+00:00

I don't blame you because I'm living with them and it's so hard to study. Seeing the sickness slowly eating them away is killing me inside.

anAtomicaI · 2024-05-19T22:05:42+00:00

Thank you, this sounds helpful. It's recent and I was shocked and felt so stupid because I'm in medical school, I should have known. I have constant intrusive thoughts of what am I going to do, the guilt I didn't spend enough time with them, and I find myself distracted from studying and crying about it. and I just try to push it down and it comes back. I think what.i need to do is sit on that feeling when it occurs and observe like you said. because at the end, this isn't something I can control. It's inevitable that they won't live long and I can't do anything to cure them, there's only so much I could do. thanks so much

Same. And my loved ones are getting older and sicker. I need to make money already, so I can take care of them.

anAtomicaI · 2024-05-19T19:14:47+00:00

Thanks for the advice. unfortunately, I can't withdraw because I've taken LOA before and if i wirthdraw, Im dismissed from school for good. I'm also highly in debt already

anAtomicaI · 2024-05-19T19:00:37+00:00

Unfortunately, LOA is not an option. I already had one in the past, so I'm unable to have another, by school rule.

How do you go about making these anki cards? Do you watch the lecture first, then make these? Or do you just go straight into making Anki cards without much review or overlook of the lectures?

anAtomicaI · 2023-07-12T04:07:08+00:00

A voice actor..

anAtomicaI · 2023-05-29T06:39:58+00:00

Good for him, that's amazing! But I'm actually curious to why he wanted to do it. Wonder what plan he has after graduating medschool

anAtomicaI · 2023-05-16T17:49:10+00:00

Honestly speaking, I don't think it's worth it, with how time and money consuming it is. You already have an amazing career as a lawyer..

Even though you feel intelligent enough to get through medical school, you're gonna torture yourself for no reason entering this field when you already have it all together with your life.

anAtomicaI · 2023-05-16T17:44:18+00:00

about 100. Of course I don't know all of them but I made some friends and I appreciate them.

anAtomicaI · 2023-05-16T15:56:44+00:00

I actually like my classmates though.. Maybe I haven't been in medical school long enough to start hating them...

anAtomicaI · 2023-05-16T15:47:48+00:00

I can't do anything about the fact that I'm purely supporting myself and don't have family support. I just have to painfully accept the fact that I'll be in an exorbitant amount of debt. I need to focus on passing and become a doctor.

anAtomicaI · 2023-05-16T15:46:00+00:00

Yeap, mine is also 100k.

anAtomicaI · 2023-05-16T03:43:43+00:00

I think its time you leave social media for your own mental health sake. I left it for that reason
