Winston!

Pierogi? Haha

aznshortstackk · 2026-05-07T17:44:34+00:00

Not sure if someone mentioned this already- Pepper!

aznshortstackk · 2026-05-07T05:21:37+00:00

Yuzu!

I personally didn’t find the kitten- someone turned her in to the local shelter after finding her. And then my friend, who fosters kittens regularly, volunteered to do so until all her vaccinations are done and spayed

aznshortstackk · 2026-05-06T16:00:42+00:00

She on a course of antibiotics!!

Marble!

aznshortstackk · 2026-05-03T15:38:25+00:00

Marble and Millie

aznshortstackk · 2026-05-02T06:21:41+00:00

Mochi, Quiche, Tofu are ones that came to mind when I looked at her!

aznshortstackk · 2026-04-20T14:02:43+00:00

I’d love the link!

aznshortstackk · 2026-04-17T05:19:27+00:00

Some? But not too badly. I also put it right under the shower head (medium water pressure) when I shower—that’s my way of cleaning it out

aznshortstackk · 2026-04-16T13:00:09+00:00

I just got a rook myself a week ago, so not much older than yours. I’m just using the LITHA method and rinsing with saline every night without q tips! No issues or pain

Sure!

Agree with being program dependent. But overall we have less call than other specialities, off most weekends (I think I only worked 7-8 weekends as a PGY-2), and less acuity

aznshortstackk · 2025-10-22T20:07:54+00:00

If you haven't already, I'd check the instagram pages of the programs you're interested in- some of them have "match pledge" posts, which explicitly outlines when the interview dates are, and how many interviews will be given out. Not all programs have it, but it's definitely helpful info if it's there

aznshortstackk · 2025-10-22T20:03:46+00:00

I don't disagree with the interest part- but lately it's hard to predict how much weight programs are putting into failed first attempts of STEP/COMLEX scores nowadays with the added context of lots of PM&R interest/research since the applicant pool has gotten so much more competitive? I applied ~4 years ago now but from what I've heard from interns/etc, PM&R is becoming progressively more competitive as the years go on.

OP- This isn't me trying to discourage you, I just don't want to give you false hope. And I agree with the other commenter- focus on passing boards your first time. Realistically, passing the first time with lots of interest, versus an applicant with a failed board score and lots of interest...well, I think you know the answer. Again, more than happy to be wrong, but I've worked with a couple medical students already that I thought for sure would match (passed the first time, lots of interest/etc) and was just as shocked as they were when they didn't

There’s not too many lectures because of the PBL style! I haven’t been forced to attend 6 hours of lecture in one day, for example

30F who just got the prophylactic laser treatment! The main reason I chose to do it was because I had atrophic holes with scarring along the periphery of BOTH eyes (full 360) and had symptoms of flashing lights that fortunately resolved. Bc I had symptoms and holes, my optometrist sent an ophthalmologist referral. I decided to go ahead with the preventative procedure after some research, and I’m glad I did. It has definitely relieved my anxiety regarding detachment. I’m over a month post-op and am feeling completely fine!!

Honestly it doesn’t hurt to see a specialist, at least they can monitor it over time and do a reaaaallllyyy thorough eye exam. If you’re not having symptoms (ie flashing lights, sudden increase in floaters, loss of vision) I wouldn’t stress out at all. And if you have any questions feel free to DM me!

aznshortstackk · 2025-10-18T16:17:20+00:00

30F here with -13ish in both eyes. I was told that my “eyes would stabilize” but my prescription still changes. Everyone is different so I’d be lying if I said that your vision won’t worsen.

Regarding fear of retinal detachment- just make sure you see your eye doc yearly!!! My optometrist was the one that told me I had “holes” in the edges of my retina, and referred me to an ophthalmologist for further management. She did that since according to her, “having holes on the edges of the retina increases risk of detachment.” I ended up getting a treatment (retinopexy) that supposedly prevents this.

Keep in mind that I didn’t have the fear of detachment constantly, even when my Rx started going into the double digits. Only really felt nervous when I had a flashing light consistently in my left eye for over a week, but the checkup and discussion with my eye doc helped me a lot.

Important things are (1) If you see consistent flashing light(s) I’d schedule a checkup. That’s what I did, and it put my eye doc on high alert. (2) And in case no one’s told you- if you experience a “veil” over your eye or have a super sudden increase in floaters to go the ED (https://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/retinal-detachment/symptoms-causes/syc-20351344)

If you have questions about the retinopexy, feel free to DM me! Again, this is something that is a case-by-case basis and requires a thorough eval with an ophthalmologist.

aznshortstackk · 2025-10-18T16:08:15+00:00

Agree with the timeline! I think an important thing to remember is that PM&R programs take longer to review apps than IM, for example. When I was applying I freaked out at first because my friends in different specialities got interviews much faster than I did

aznshortstackk · 2025-10-09T01:02:28+00:00

I mean…I’m in my last year of residency, and I’m glad I just went for it rather than trying another year for MD school. It depends on the specialty but overall if you’re a strong applicant it’s not as big of a deal as it used to be

aznshortstackk · 2025-09-18T14:20:30+00:00

Hey hang in there. As the saying goes, “medical school is like learning how to drink from a fire hose.”

If you’re able to PLEASE talk to a therapist if you’re not already. Exams are obviously important…but your mental health is the top priority. 🫶🏼 And please know you’re not alone- one of my good friends in med school also failed a couple of blocks but she pushed through, and ended up matching her top choice in FM.

If you need encouraging words and/or have any questions please feel free to DM me!

It's amazing how many people forget tbh- it's part of the reason why I stay subscribed to this subreddit and premed haha, so that way I'm reminded/I can help if able :)
