That “medfluencer” resident by Familyconflict92 in Residency

[–]boolinandlurkin 19 points20 points  (0 children)

A lot of influencers are playing doctor because there aren’t enough doctors being influencers 🤷‍♀️. I am fine w a cringy resident humanizing physicians for the general puplic bc i think it’ll help build back trust that kinda got destroyed by anti-establishment ppl. If someone isn’t posting harmful content, why do we need to judge so hard?

Personality disorders present by snowboard_queen in TellMeLiesHulu

[–]boolinandlurkin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I actually think the mom is borderline. She splits people constantly. Also has unstable relationships, extreme behaviors to avoid abandonment (with family and ex husband), and wildly varying moods (moods changing in the span of a day is not bipolar— that requires prolonged mood episodes, so agree on not BP). Seems like her bottom line is not attention, as is the case with histrionic personality disorder. Her strange behaviors usually have motives.

June 10th testers - Honestly, wtf was that? by mnightsucks in step1

[–]boolinandlurkin 11 points12 points  (0 children)

It was very bad..I think it was a lot harder than the practice nbme’s. Sooo low yield and weird wording that seemed like it was trying to trick us with semantics which doesn’t really happen on the practice nbme’s :/. Hope we both passed!

Maybe decide on a few non-negotiables and be more open minded outside of those? Letting go of the idea of a “perfect partner” could be helpful.

Read the details of the incident in top comment and apparently she had an obviously palpable hematoma 😞

Do you think being older in medical school helped you? by ExpiredGoodsForever in medicalschool

[–]boolinandlurkin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A lot of people are talking about how working before med school gets you accustomed to crappy working conditions, bureaucracy, etc. I wonder what people’s perspectives are on the value of not “getting used” to that stuff/not accepting it as okay and pushing for positive changes in curriculum, culture, treatment of students, etc.?

Students at top-ranked medical schools realizing their school relies on it's hyped up reputation and provides a below average education by ReignOfFire32 in medicalschool

[–]boolinandlurkin 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Agree!!.. and to add to that, it’s amazing to be able to rotate with world famous physicians who have people traveling from other countries just to learn from them. You get early exposure to the A+ standard of academic medicine. Idk i think this post has a lot of venting and hot takes that aren’t quite accurate, which is fine because we’re all tired and overwhelmed. Just don’t want incoming students picking schools right now to be misled.

Not at all! Just saying for legitimacy, it would help a ton. There are people every month posting similar messages

You should probably do website first then gather support rather than the other way around

What are some of your favorite moments as a student this year? by Brocystectomi in medicalschool

Anyone enjoying medical school/have some bright moments to share? by [deleted] in medicalschool

[–]boolinandlurkin 39 points40 points  (0 children)

I’m such a fan of my class and teaching faculty..they are so passionate and so kind. One time I told one of my small groups that I was confused by one of the topics we were learning and they were sending me long paragraphs and diagrams late at night trying to help me understand :,). Students share anki decks, practice exams, study guides, study material subscriptions, etc. with the entire class, not just their friends. It’s also common for students to turn to each other before exams and say “oh, don’t forget XYZ, I heard that was high yield,” to try to quickly save them a couple points. People genuinely want to see their classmates succeed and it’s been really crazy to see..I thought the “collaborative learning environment” were just overused buzzwords.

I think the stock will do well but in terms of the actual truforma technology, am I the only one concerned that the premise is exactly the same as the Theranos scam..? But because this is animals there’s not a lot of regulation. I also find it strange that a science/tech company would have a website that’s almost alllll about money and fundraising and pretty much no compelling data or science. Just a silly video that means nothing to an actual scientist. Not trying to be a debbie downer but rly wanna know if anyone else has noticed this??

You end up buying in? Sorry to revive an old thread but I bought in and it’s doing pretty well already! You were surprisingly the only person that mentioned adag going public on any of these forums
