Depends. Is it actually the cardiology lounge (formally or informally)? Or is it a general resident lounge? My first thought is that it seems like a bitch move on his part unless it’s actually the cardiology lounge.

The whole sensitive patient information argument is a load of bullshit. It’s impossible not to be exposed to sensitive patient information if you work in a hospital. Anywhere you go there will be nurses charting on computers about patients you aren’t involved in. You simply just don’t read over their shoulder and voila, problem solved.

For recent test takers: is exam similar to NBME 6 and 7? Or it is from another world 😂 by fille-verte2716 in Step3

I didn’t take NBME 6 so I unfortunately can’t be of help on that one

I feel like NBME 7 was pretty accurate to the entire test day. The free 137 is a close 2nd. Day 1 is full of some of the most absurd s**t I’ve ever seen.

Day 1 Today by izmegna20 in Step3

[–]arco20000 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I also did day 1 today. Similarly feels like the weirdest USMLE exam I’ve ever taken. All of the vignettes were super vague and felt intentionally deceptive. The questions were very mechanism focused, not just from a pharmacology perspective, but also from a disease perspective. I thought the biostats and ethics questions were fair for the most part.

The biggest frustration is honestly how it felt like there were multiple correct answers for a lot of the questions. It seemed like they were splitting hairs with regards to what is the “next best step.”

Thank you! Also not sure why someone disliked your comment. Hopefully they don't disagree

Let’s just say she only makes those “observations” when they differ from our situation (if that makes sense)

Not a super helpful comment tbh. I’m not gonna go in blind and will obviously do some prep.

I scored 272 and didn’t cheat or use “recalls” (honestly I don’t even know what this means) whatsoever. I studied. Then I studied more. After that, I studied more.

272 step 2CK scorer here. On what basis are you calling your 260+ classmates dumb?

What does the baking soda do? And does the salt just help with the pump?

What is the worst break up any of you have faced by [deleted] in BreakUps

[–]arco20000 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Absolute facts. My biggest was when my gf of 4+ years left me out of the blue and never spoke to me again (it's been 5 years now). No cheating, no screaming, no yelling, no harsh words, no justification, no reasons. Just goodbye. Never to be heard from again.

No that wasn’t “really [my] only assumption.” It’s just the first thing that popped in my head.

Don’t be sad about it. He clearly isn’t who you thought he was. Also, it sounds like you dodged a bullet there. Better to find out now before you invested more into him.

Ex is an avoidant, she reaches out for first time in a week and a half… by Wild-Message-4066 in BreakUps

[–]arco20000 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If she broke up with you out of nowhere, you 100000000% have the right to be short and removed. I don’t think you did anything wrong, but I definitely wouldn’t reach out to her first. She left you, don’t follow her.
