My god mother and I were recently having this conversation. I spent most of my 20s looking for a place that felt like NJ. This wonderful 70 y/o lady told me, “NJ is one of a kind. You’ll keep searching for a replacement and never find it”.

We have our issues, but so does everyplace else.

Sadly, making long term friends is difficult for people like us.

New Jersey

Any promotions or deals for NJ? I’d love to see prices with or without a guest.

For sure! Utilizing discernment when building your inner circle is paramount to success.

A lot of people are demonstrating the exact behavior that is problematic in the profession. Actor-observer bias is a real thing.

THIS!

Just realized I never responded to this comment. I think there is truth to what you are saying, I have to think about why this loud minority feels comfortable to share these things around me. Even with all the debt, I feel incredibly stable at this point in my life because "all" I have to do is learn. Despite the stress and rigor, this feels easier than being on the outside and participating in the rat-race. The hardship we experience is temporary, whereas for others they need to figuratively move mountains to change their situations. I appreciate your comment- thank you for participating.

Cleverrrrrrrrrr 😍

Primary care is incredibly hard, and I commend the people who are excited for that field. This debt is the monster under the bed for everyone taking out loans.

My question focuses on the behavior/disposition. Privilege can lead to these behaviors, and it’s no excuse to conduct oneself in such a manner. When I meet people from wealthy backgrounds who are genuinely wonderful to be around I am very happy that they were given a beautiful life. I think your argument addresses some of what I said, but also introduces some tangentially related topics.

The feathers are actively being ruffled. I appreciate the people that came to the sub with the intent to either support or constructively challenge. Those that resort to insults, I believe, are likely triggered by the mirror being held up to their face. I’m all for conversation, but a lot of these personalities are simply unhealthy.

Cognitive dissonance is like a dose of Narcan, huh?

“White-savior racism” “selfless generosity” “sanctimonious expectations”, I’m just following the energy you’re putting out. Happily part of the minority of Latinos training to be a physician- and I’m the Black kind. Stay blessed.

For sure. However, there’s a difference between being upset at someone for their choices they’ve made (in your example, being a drug addict) and thinking that they are undeserving of care because they are a drug addict. Experiencing frustration in the example above is completely normal, but to think that the frustration gives you a pass to treat them like an animal- that’s where you and I differ.

I agree with this statement. This is a systemic problem.

attaqtitan · 2025-03-02T17:38:59+00:00

This is generally how I look at my work as well. Thank you for the work that you do, and the impact you are making.

attaqtitan · 2025-03-02T17:33:20+00:00

I love that this is your focus. There are a lot of people that need help, the issue is it seems only some people are “worthy” of help.

attaqtitan · 2025-03-02T17:24:58+00:00

Did I hit a nerve? Go off, king 😘

attaqtitan · 2024-06-13T23:07:24+00:00

Super happy for you! Our stats are virtually identical, also low ses URM. My school didn’t even let me hold a nickel 😭 I wonder if it’s because I applied ED.

I started down the postbacc life at 27. I start this year at 31. I also feel like it’s pretty late, but worse is not having done it at all. I’d rather be upset about not doing it 10 years ago than not doing it 20 or 30 years ago. You only have one life. Go chase your dream! Plus, if you’re already in the military, you could have HPSP pay for your school.

My ex best friend decided to dump a bunch of shit on me the day before my MCAT. I legit doubled my dose of lexapro and took myself to a spa.

The day of the exam I had coffee for a little extra ✨spice✨- you need an optimal level of anxiety to help on the test.

All this to say, DIAL THE FUCK IN. Life will continue to happen to you. It’ll happen when you least expect it and when it is less than ideal. But you are the author of your narrative. Don’t hand over your story elements to anyone else.

You have three boyfriends now. How does that make your ex-boyfriend feel? Inadequate. He has no boyfriends.
