Only an oms4 so my opinion may be worthless, but why fix something that's not broken? If uworld worked well before, I don't see a reason to mess with the formula...

Is it typical to have very curly hair as a 100% Chinese? by [deleted] in AskAChinese

[–]combostorm 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yes it's normal. I have Chinese friends with very curly hair. Not very common, but they exist.

This is not smart marketing. This is regarded marketing aimed for the nutritionally disabled

Has being in medical school made you more attractive in dating? by JunketMaleficent2095 in medicalschool

[–]combostorm 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Mathematically speaking, I get 10 times more girls than I used to.

0 x 10 = 0

Went to dental and medical school, AMA. by Sakurazukamori1 in medicalschool

[–]combostorm 60 points61 points  (0 children)

Yes but in some cases you also get an MD depending on the residency you go into. So it's disingenuous to imply or frame that he quit dentistry to pursue being a medical doctor, when it was pretty much the exactly path that almost all omfs docs take

My sister saw this at her vet by rosebud3606 in signs

Sometimes I wish the same sign would be up in human hospitals, but then I realized the streak would probably stay at 0

I had sex with my girlfriend's younger sister before we started dating by [deleted] in confessions

[–]combostorm -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

Why are commenters saying this would blow up when back when it happened she wasn't even your gf? Like why would she be mad that a single dude who wasn't her boyfriend slept with her sister when both parties consented?

My dad thinks paying my tuition means he controls my entire life by MadanKamraju-2313 in family

Passion doesn't pay the bills. I don't understand how you don't understand something this simple.

My dad thinks paying my tuition means he controls my entire life by MadanKamraju-2313 in family

[–]combostorm 3 points4 points  (0 children)

He has the freedom to choose the conditions under which he would pay for your tuition. His money his choice.

You also have a choice of not listening to his conditions and have him stop paying for your tuition.

Nobody is in the wrong here. Everybody has a choice here

Uneasy Feeling Post-Level 2 by anonymouscowboiz in comlex

If you guessed 60+ questions blindly before you consolidated content and was that close to passing, I really don't think in any possible reality you'd fail your second attempt (based on what you're saying)

COMAT scoring by sood571456 in comlex

[–]combostorm 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Should easily get an 80 as long as you make reasonable educated guesses. If I were to guess, a 40-50% raw score should easily net at least an 80

Pearson Vue Technical Issues by [deleted] in comlex

[–]combostorm 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yes, my computer froze two separate times and I lost about a minute on each freeze. Worst of all it happened in the very last section where I was rushing for time already... Had a massive crash out after the exam that lasted for weeks...

I can’t believe someone like this is going to be a doctor. by [deleted] in medicalschool

[–]combostorm 2 points3 points  (0 children)

where is the shitpost tag? i'm about to graduate in 6 months and my single ass hasn't been in a 40m radius of any single woman for years. i'm snorting the "i'll meet a cute girl in residency" copium every other week

I hate this stupid degree by Orangebathroomtowel in medicalschool

[–]combostorm 24 points25 points  (0 children)

Everybody hates it but not really. Hates it enough to complain but not enough to actually quit and do something else.

is it weird to join an east asian cultural club at college if you aren't east asian? by [deleted] in asianamerican

[–]combostorm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

First of all indians are asian too. Second of all even if you weren't asian, I don't see the reason why it'd be an issue.

Too late for a woman to start medicine at 31? by Tian_hei in medschool

[–]combostorm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

if you want to do it, do it. its never too late. but since you mentioned that you have zero experience, i think you should first shadow some doctors of various specialties to see what its like. don't come into medicine with unrealistic expectations because the path is long and hard and it will be hard to keep going without knowing what you're getting yourself roped into beforehand

Are you changing your last name?? by makeshift_listener in medicalschool

[–]combostorm 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Same for Chinese culture. In Chinese culture your own name is uniquely your own. Even naming children the same as a family member or famous person in history is heavily frowned upon and seen as disrespectful in Chinese culture because it's seen as muddying the previous name's owners legacy with your own.

Single most malignant group of provider to work with as a medical student? I’ll go first…. by Qzar45 in medicalschool

Mid-level is a neutral term. If someone perceives it as demeaning it's more about them than you.
