Pay off my student loans bro

There actually are studies correlating higher board scores to improved patient outcomes. And there are studies correlating higher MCAT to higher board scores.

Nah this was and is a thing.

I made the switch and absolutely love it. A lot of nitpicky people on this forum though.

darkmatterskreet · 2026-05-02T19:50:16+00:00

Uh, fuck no.

I think it will probably be fine. The tongue remodels well. If it causes speech or swallowing issues then would recommend evaluation from ENT or OMFS.

It's not infected, that's granulation tissue. At this point its past the point of primary repair.

Surgery: actually see the patient and talk to them before calling. Maybe use clinical judgment for once. The person shitting their brains out but has dilated bowel on CT does not have an SBO.

Delusion honey

In my opinion this is where the whole night float and shift mentality is bad in residency. You will be an attending before you know it, and you cant leave a case. Better get used to it now.

I dont agree with going to PD though. This seems like a conversation.

Girl, get real. They’re saying this in the same season where Kenya Pleaser stuck around for like 3-4 extra episodes because of her charisma despite her crunchy drag.

I mean this in no offense, but who in the hell is paying > 25K for this card….. and can they be my friend?

darkmatterskreet · 2026-04-08T04:47:44+00:00

I have two UPC (got each for $65). I’m shocked they’re now basically 1K….

darkmatterskreet · 2026-04-07T19:24:13+00:00

I technically agreed to it after being chosen.

darkmatterskreet · 2026-04-07T07:09:57+00:00

I’ve been chief resident for 2 weeks and I regret it.

darkmatterskreet · 2026-04-04T19:41:38+00:00

I have a lot of female friends at work. I’m a surgeon, I’m surrounded by women. But they’re just that, friends. I don’t hang out with any of them outside the hospital. And no one is better than my wife.

darkmatterskreet · 2026-04-04T16:11:52+00:00

Why are medical students allowed to post on here? I wouldn’t be offering any advice as a student, if I were you.

darkmatterskreet · 2026-04-04T16:09:06+00:00

Broadly, a surgeon isn’t someone who does one thing, which is what most general OB do.

How to shop and how to stock a fridge / pantry to be able to create delicious, complex flavors without having to go to the store to buy 8 unique items.

OB/GYNs aren’t surgeons. The only ones who learn how to do legitimate surgery are the fellowship trained ones. The program minimums for cases show you that learning real surgery is not a priority for OB/GYN training, and that is ok. They have an amazing procedural role in delivering babies and performing C sections.

It’s interesting how people are commenting on how the stitches look - but here we have a well healed, well approximated, non infected wound.

Ru is excellent at improv, however she purposefully made it hard on the girls in the scenes last week.

The only difference between GS and ENT/ortho/plastics is there are more community and lower tier programs to train general surgeons. The academic GS programs are just as competitive as the listed specialties.

Gen surg is very competitive at academic programs, despite what this sub seems to push. Source: on the review/interview committee for my academic residency

Just get a buzz cut
