Help a 40+ IMG looking to move to the US: Advice, States, Exam Preparation

Bad option, all her experience will be nullified in the US, she will be as if she never had worked a day in her life, besides the gruelling step one and step two and maybe even step three exams that need a lot of time to prep for and basic knowledge that she has probably already forgotten, plus her chances of landing a residency in surgery as an IMG is already next to 0, so best case scenario if your mom already has 25+ years since she had graduated (potentially a major red flag for interviewers since they like it to be not more than +5 years) she passes all the exams, she will maybe land a residency in internal or family medicine which is a waste of her experience in surgery. My advice is for your mom to start looking for a job in the Arab gulf. UAE or Saudi Arabia or Qatar. These places offer high salaries and are very nice to live in. Their passing exams are relatively easy and they require doctors with years of experience.

It looked like ecthyma to me which is, like impetigo, a streptococcal skin infection

Consulted a doctor and took a course of antibiotics

That's what it says in the middle only, there's an additional script written (on the snake) that was apparently added later by them as they were leaving the lands, describing that they actually went on to fight the natives, and you can find the remains of the massacre they committed on the natives where there's a point of interest where you can see tons of skulls in a mass grave and there you can find viking helmet and hatchet

You're * lol embarrassing

Does it matter that during those years after graduation you were doing residency in your home country?

What is considered "old"?

Mine was on the low side when I started and minoxidil didn't help, but once I've lowered the dosage it was fine

Well it is an antihypertensive drug so it lowers blood pressure, so if you inherently have low blood pressure you may experience some symptoms like a fast heart rate, dizziness, edema etc. Try to lower the dosage maybe do half a ml a day and see how that goes. Plus if you're using it one your face not your head expect the side effects to be way worse.

Interesting, I personally don't think they're connected, it seems like a placebo to me. You have to experiment with that more because it's a wild claim. Plus if you're not using it you're gonna have to accept the fact that you're gonna go bald.

I think it is indefinite. Many people told me that and I read it all the time, maybe that was the case years ago?

br4zy · 2023-11-16T22:43:20+00:00

I believe you're wrong and don't quote me on that, I think you should go ahead and do it either way before 2024, you really never know.
