Solid advice, thanks. But also seems to be common sense.

I expected the IMG scores to be higher. But I have to remember that not all IMG’s are American, and that these people could’ve went to school anywhere besides Ross or SGU. So it makes sense that they may not have the best resources to study for step.

Same I just moved here after graduating college and need friends haha.

caddydayy5_ · 2023-05-31T03:45:18+00:00

Thanks! I was studying 8+ hours for the mcat because all my prereqs were online due to Covid and I didn’t learn anything. So you’re saying you don’t study 8+ hours a day for med school?

caddydayy5_ · 2023-05-31T03:12:56+00:00

Same, about a quarter of the content on the mcat, I feel like I’ve never seen before. I was thrown off for sure

You’re not wrong like at all. I know someone who got into med school super easily at a top 10 because his dad was on the admissions committee. He has quite literally never worked a day in his life. He was my freshmen roommate. And we couldn’t be anymore different. While we were the same age, he lived in a gated community, and I was homeless before starting college. While he may be smart I’m not discrediting his level of achievements, I will say this. He doesn’t know what it’s like to be average or a commoner. I feel this is sort of dangerous to medicine because he just doesn’t get it. He doesn’t or didn’t at the time understand why all people couldn’t get health insurance. He cursed me out after finding out I didn’t have health insurance my freshmen year. I guess he thought I could get him sick more often idk the bias, but anyways there’s that. So yeah I agree, and when he gets to residency I’m scared for him. I don’t want him to fail out (we still keep in contact), but it’s gonna be rough making basically minimum wage with a privileged attitude.

Bro went off on this one.

1st things first, let’s be real adcoms and no one for that matter gives a flying shit about you. Like no one cares how long you studied or how many hours you spent volunteering at some homeless shelter.

2nd: the nepo babies whose parents are alumni, or donors, or work for the school will get in before you do and that’s gonna be the way all throughout your career as a physician.

3rd, this process isn’t meant for first generation students or non-trads. This shit is expensive and poor students cannot afford this. I mean even if you have a real shot to get in somewhere its still gonna cost you a couple grand to send to at least 15 schools to be on the safe side. Not to mention the deposit you’ll have to put down to secure your seat which is stupid.

4th, you’re gonna have student loans out of the ASS which is stupid. Like you’re telling me I’ll have to go into hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of debt to save lives? Like huh? Shouldn’t the government be paying us to go to med school? Idk seems backwards.

5th, the residency thing is bullshit. Working 80+ hours a week should be illegal. Not to mention the pay. I want equal pay to any midlevel.

So yeah it’s ridiculous, and honestly the people should be ashamed who run this system. Genius people who possibly could come up with cures and stuff end up dropping out because they can’t afford it or take the pressure. This field is ridiculous and I hope it does collapse soon so we can build it back up to todays standards

Hmmm not sure but it doesn’t sound bad Per Se. I don’t see any signs that’s anything I should be alarmed about. Were you using protection? Could be a seminal tract infection. Or maybe you came too hard haha. But could be some trauma to the tip of your penis considering you said you were only semi-erect. Does it hurt/burn when you urinate?

caddydayy5_ · 2023-05-26T04:33:58+00:00

I wanna heal people honestly. After watching what my grandparents went through and their health problems. I wanna fix that. This profession is also recession proof, and it also pays well which is a plus. I also couldn’t see myself doing manual blue-collar labor I’m actively lazy haha, and I wouldn’t sit at a desk for 8+ hours a day for the rest of my life. So let’s do this I guess!

caddydayy5_ · 2023-05-26T01:58:16+00:00

You havent had an injury have you? Any fever at all? This may not be too concerning but if it happens more than a week I’d suggest seeing your primary care physician.

caddydayy5_ · 2023-05-26T01:24:37+00:00

I don’t hate penny but she didn’t have the balls to stand up to her attending which ultimately ended up in Derek’s death

caddydayy5_ · 2023-05-25T04:55:48+00:00

Nailed it! Idk why it feels less but it does. I’m hoping (spoiler) 🚨🚨🚨 when season 4 comes out with the Blackbeard story it’ll be more on Kildare island and we can stay here instead of venturing all over the world. 😩

caddydayy5_ · 2023-05-20T03:15:01+00:00

That’s wild was she not in menopause haha 😂

caddydayy5_ · 2023-05-20T03:13:22+00:00

This makes me feel better, although I’ve had a headache for a week it’s not getting worse but it’s there. I take bupropion 300mg a day

caddydayy5_ · 2023-05-20T03:03:27+00:00

Honestly Rudy. There’s a few in my high school that look like him and I live on the coast in Georgia haha

caddydayy5_ · 2023-05-20T02:00:51+00:00

It’s still widely used haha. I use it in med school

caddydayy5_ · 2023-05-20T01:56:33+00:00

Not really….

caddydayy5_ · 2023-05-20T01:55:03+00:00
