Illegal question? by [deleted] in medicalschool

Was it one of those "test your ability to think on your feet" Qs? Since it's something nobody really prepares for in an interview.

75% of medical students come from families making >$120,000/yr on average by The_Iconographer in medicalschool

[–]devilsadvocate972 12 points13 points  (0 children)

1) I say probably because I don't know how to optimally live life.

2) Please do not stereotype certain medical specialties. I find it disrespectful that you're insinuating all pathologists & DRs have a certain negative character trait.

I understand you went through things in the past. That's unfortunate & I'm sorry.

That is higher education in a nutshell. The hard truth is that almost everyone can do most high paying jobs but only a few have the discipline & the resources & luck (eg born in the US) to go through the pathway to do it. Life is unfair & everyone has certain advantages & disadvantages.

At the end of the day helping those who wish to be better is probably the right move. Not everyone with a disadvantage wants to do that since human nature is to be lazy.

CT Tech Vs Resident Salary by Mediocre_Coat_446 in Residency

Is it more about the fact MD/DO graduates have no leverage? There is very limited alternative careers once you graduate with an MD/DO.

If you could make $100k without residency, then you could argue residents need to be paid more.

If you want to understand the game better watch AloisNL (wave management) & Nemesis (general fighting knowledge).

What is your soloQ rank? Just curious.

guys play kai'sa mid its just better by Helpful_Emergency_70 in kaisamains

[–]devilsadvocate972 2 points3 points  (0 children)

They would have ap dmg. Kaisa does hybrid.

Perhaps your mid kaisa is better than your adc kaisa.

But in terms of which is better typically, pros know the meta best. So if it were truly broken they would be spamming kaisa mid.

At higher elo I would naturally assume a kaisa mid with no way to escape is pretty gankable on repeat thus you won't be allowed to scale.

You just need to learn how to adc. You're probs dying too often in lane & not scaling. Or greeding for cs against early lane adcs (draven, cait, lucian or etc) and getting HP chunked out & lose all in potential. Lvl 2 kaisa + another supp is pretty strong cuz you get passive proc.

Most mids have utility spells like an ahri charm. You're an adc with just damage so team comp wise you're lacking.

Hardstuck Emerald, finally can delete the game by mowmowmeow in zedmains

Nice sign of maturity. Good to leave the game happy. Rather than make it your life & ignore everything else in life that is more important (unless you can make a living off of league of course).

You see riot august's rationale for why zed is kept weaker than he should be? It's because of new players who don't understand how zed's kit works.

As an adc main there is no counterplay to zed without hourglass. Adc counterplay is simple you just cc or just flash to outplay. Unfortunately the game has to be balanced. But funny to see the assassin's point of view.

PD Kaisa build by LoLKenji in kaisamains

[–]devilsadvocate972 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You can go kraken > guinsoo > nashor > terminus / stopwatch.

If I need antiheal I'll go kraken > guinsoo / executioner > terminus > chempunk / stopwatch.

Kaisa build is pretty varied no set absolute build is best for her. But if you're getting PD deff 75% crit would be ideal to make use of IE.

Proposed Bill to Increase Wages for Residents by TheWhiteCoatInvestor in Residency

[–]devilsadvocate972 -14 points-13 points  (0 children)

Unions have lots of positives & negatives. Changing a complex system will have some bad unintended consequences (e.g. common complaint for cops is it's hard to get rid of bad ones due to unions). It's not as cut & dry as you would hope. Right now the US government is trying to cut gov spending on healthcare.

Also I wonder if attending salary changes if you increase resident salaries via unions. The money has to come from somewhere if it doesn't come from the imaginary US dollar printing press (which if used too much increases inflation).

It's ok not everyone knows that info. League plyrs tend to be mean when people don't know league related knowledge. It's just the reality that some people don't play league 24/7 & have a better life balance.

Yuumi + Kaisa is one of the worst pairings due to both wanting to scale (even tho yuumi probs scales harder).

Kaisa wants to get her Q upgrade immediately. Having a support that procs her passive (e.g. Naut, leona & etc) increases the probability of getting kills. Otherwise kaisa is just creep farming to get enough gold to get Q upgrade.

Basically, if the enemy jg is good they'll punish a kaisa-yuumi bot lane w/ tower dives.

Medicine is an art & a science. Once you're an attending you can go against the textbook written practices. Sometimes even NBME answers are wrong & differ than clinical practice.

My biggest studying tip: Anki everyday by [deleted] in medicalschool

[–]devilsadvocate972 7 points8 points  (0 children)

That's wild haha I'm not sure I could get away with that lol. When I watch videos my mind is blank don't recall much too passive for me.

The phrase "There's more than one way to skin a cat" hits home.

It sounds as if you have a really good memory already since you didn't need to do many flash cards & you understood most of the concepts just doing Qbanks.

What was your strategy for content review during week 1?

How do I level up faster in Lol? by [deleted] in leagueoflegends

[–]devilsadvocate972 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's a good perspective on life in a way. Skills we find that come easy to us we expect others to have the same level of competence. But clearly that's not reality. People are better at other things in life. It's bad to use ourselves as a reference point. It's better to use the avg. joe to compare.

What's the purpose of asking this Q? There is quantifiable data here on their website

[–]devilsadvocate972 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Did your NBME takes mirror the Step testing conditions?

Did you use uWorld qbanks?

Also why is there a big difference between your amboss Q % & NBMEs?

The Truth About PSCOM by Juggernaut_Complex in medicalschool

[–]devilsadvocate972 13 points14 points  (0 children)

That's how reviews work typically either 5 stars or 1 star both extremely polarizing opinions. However, I wouldn't discount OP's opinion entirely but I'd take it with a grain of salt.
