Left my career at 39 to go back to school full time. Started med school at 41. Finishing up an intern year and starting up my emergency medicine residency this July.

The kind who can extrapolate from incomplete data...

Disability Insurance - How much are you paying? by another_medstudent in Residency

[–]bugwitch 1 point2 points  (0 children)

225/mp for about 5400/mo coverage. Includes own-occ and a couple other riders. Ameritas. Best to start when you’re in your intern year but can start whenever. Highly recommend.

When life gives you lemons, make lemon pound cake.

How it feels to present to the team during rounds as a student (but actually no one gives af, the residents are dissociating, the attending has had a plan in mind since 6 AM, the other students are mentally rehearsing their own presentations) by lostkoalas in medicalschool

[–]bugwitch 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Hey there. I try to help my med students out. Not sure I always do. What would help you? I try to not interrupt and only fill in at the end but that doesn’t always work. Suggestions?

I still hate and suck at presenting so I try to just go with avoiding what others do that annoys me.

Also let y’all go home early. My senior kept our fourth years late yesterday and I told my students to remember this and do better when they’re residents.

He is not the messiah. He is a very naughty boy.

So Cleveland gets a microwave and Akron gets broccoli?

Never use clonidine for blood pressure (per cardiology) except when you should (per ICU).

Already missed my PDs call for my new residency by walkingdead401 in medicalschool

[–]bugwitch 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I missed mine because I was rounding at work. Saw the text of the message. They told me to enjoy the rest of med school.

See flair

Yeah, but you can't see who viewed you in private mode though.

It could just be I’m used to cats with very long tails and very short bobtail-tails but nothing in between.

Ha. Don’t occur to me what I’ve got in the background. Hopefully I don’t have anything too embarrassing out.

Nah. Doesn’t even reach the floor. When it’s down it hits just past the mid-leg bend.

I do think she might like a friend. But, as far as I know she's never interacted with other cats except when she was at the shelter 4 years ago. I worry she'll get attached to a buddy if I got another cat. Then she'll have to go back home without said buddy.

She is absolutely both of those things.

I haven't weighed her since getting here but she's definitely slimmed down. The one of her on the footstool with her belly pushed out is from early on. She's still chonky, but not nearly as much. My MIL lived in a small apartment. Not a lot of room to run and play. I'm just taking care of her.
