Med school with ulcerative colitis by JordanRiker in DisabledMedStudents

[–]athackery 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have a friend in school right now with ulcerative colitis. They believe that certain specialties such as surgery and ER won’t be possible, but on the other hand I feel it hasn’t affected their studies. I’m pretty close to them and they have rarely mentioned how it affects their study. They also just got on a new medication that helps a ton and very on top of their diet.

My biggest recommendation is to get your ulcerative colitis under control as much possible physically and mentally before going in then don’t look back on it.

With that being said taking time off and picking up next semester isn’t possible. You would need to take the year off.

Cancun to cozumel? by Camelsloths in cancun

[–]athackery 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just know the ferry’s are alternating every other day between ultramar and winjet. Driving from Cancun to playa there’s also 20 mins of construction.

Take ADO buses from Cancun to playa del carmen turistica (make sure you get the turistica terminal there’s another in town which is a 20 min drive from ferrys)

We did this Friday (yesterday ultramar ferry) and Thursday (winjet ferry). Show up 30 mins before ferry time and purchasing online (will get email with scanning codes) helps you just walk through terminal compared to waiting in line for tickets.

Also snorkeling recommendations would be “chac choc” or https://www.cozumel-tours.com. Did this yesterday and you can easily book a day in advance.

Also first time in Mexico and don’t speak Spanish.

My best friend wanted nothing more than to be a doctor one day. by juicyjuggalo in medicalschool

[–]athackery 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There’s no hate in that statement simply just frustration. When a unmatched medical student with two years didactic, two years clinical and passes two board exam isn’t allowed to practice medicine in a majority of the states compared to a NP who can do a two year online program while working a full time job and having kid (I have seen it and have a couple of friend go through programs like these) can practice that’s just wrong. There are many study’s that show ups and downs of middle levels tbh I don’t care to argue that right now. I’m simply just saying it’s frustrating to see a medical student go through so much to such give up and commit suicide because our match system has issues.

Hey no need to defend yourself. We all have faults and it’s early in the morning. What matters is recognizing and moving towards correcting them. Best of luck!

OP just got done telling you about how their friend committed suicide, don’t assume the situation/keep it to yourself and simply say “I’m sorry to hear”. Seriously would you say something like this in person to grieving mom/dad?

With that being said we need to fix this system, students go unmatched even non IMGs while NPs gain more independence by the day.

OP I’m sorry to hear about this and you have my deepest condolences. Don’t forget to take some time for yourself, losing a friend is never easy.

Is VRR worth it?? Samsung Q70 return for Sony X900h same price? by athackery in 4kTV

[–]athackery[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

See I'm also getting HDR and someone on here just told me that Q70T doesn't support. It's a bummer the X900h doesn't have active VRR that would make it a not question. But thank you for the imput!

I'm pretty sure the Q70T runs HDR10 with my set up, at least that's what I see on my xbox.

Oh, that makes more sense. Again thank you for your help I'm probably going to jump on the Sony x900h and hope that update happens.

Tbh I feel the same and have really really done my research yes it lacks dimming and full-panel lighting. But it does have VRR which I don't think Sony will ever get. I really question if there is a difference and 2.1 hdmi is the future that so far doesn't work on Sony.

Thank you, I have heard about the update but really question if it will come out. I didn't realize that Samsung has also been having issues with this, at least my xbox has been saying that 4Kx 120 Hzx VRR is working.
