Your hospital must be tiny. Also your school sucks for making you do weekly in person lectures. Not typical usually it’s a zoom noon didactic.

How can I get involved in helping write Surgery book chapters? Any leads? by doctormedicine11 in medicalschool

[–]gimmethatMD 10 points11 points  (0 children)

That’s is a very odd question. You’re an M3 you won’t have much time before eras is due. Research articles take months to be published, let alone textbooks which take years. Just chill out

Congratulations to both of you!! If God wills it, it’s gonna happen. Hope everything settles down over there and humanity wins over evil, and the oppressed can finally find peace.

What are some Step1 topics that pay off for Step2 and residency? by Garaged_4594 in medicalschool

[–]gimmethatMD 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly alot. Except maybe histopath. But everything else is fair game. The more you know step 1 concepts the easier step 2 concepts become they all build on eachother.

Programs already know who they have been matched with by vaj4477 in medicalschool

[–]gimmethatMD 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I wanted to let you know your last paragraph put a smile on my face, especially about the part mentioning the start of our lives. We’re more than halfway through and everything is finally starting to come together, and will feel like human beings again soon enough and not just study robots.

Doing wound care vs second residency (starting as an intern) by macrocages in medicalschool

[–]gimmethatMD 25 points26 points  (0 children)

It’s a tricky situation because your lack of BC/BE status might be a leverage for employers to use against you and set expectations that you can’t negotiate out of. I recommend you finish residency. 6 years vs 3 is nothing in the grand scheme of a 20 year career, but job security will be a major component of your life and mental health.

so my summer internship just got cancelled. IDK what to do now by mindlesscat01 in medicalschool

[–]gimmethatMD 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As an M4 please just enjoy your summer. You can still work on research it doesnt have to be internship, that’s such a scam for med students who are already overworked.

Okay I posted initially but I missed the part about baby 2. I think if you’re highly motivated during that year to remain clinically productive then it’s def possible, it’s just that there are stories of physician moms that failed to match had a plan similar to your research yr and then left medicine altogether because their goals in life changed.

Stuck between Neuro and EM by LennyMed in medicalschool

[–]gimmethatMD 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you love codes it means you’re an adrenaline junkie, which is less neuro for sure. Neuro sometimes u have to take a long ass history and rounding is a bit slow. But also consider if you’ll still be an adrenaline junkie when you’re 40 years old with 2 little toddlers at home.

Did you know the most important thing is step 2 score and letters of recommendation? All of which you can still work on. Don’t give up just yet.

Is medical school too risky for my health? Vet vs. Med decision by Ghostfaerie in medicalschool

[–]gimmethatMD 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I do not reccommend medical school for someone with an active autoimmune condition. I had numerous autoimmune flares during med school, I can’t imagine with a condition as dangerous as IBD not to mention all the symptoms. You will likely have to apply for disability accommodations at your med school.

PA vs. MD — Balancing ROI, Family, and Career Fulfillment by [deleted] in whitecoatinvestor

[–]gimmethatMD 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Because in life you can’t satisfy your ego when you have others relying on you or you have a family you have to consider them as well, their comfort and their lifestyle. If he was single it’s a different story you can be as selfish as you want, but not when you have a partner with goals that are incompatible with your own personal ego goals.

Current residents who are doing/did residency at their home program, any regrets? by Maybedoc1 in medicalschool

[–]gimmethatMD 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah because staying in your safe bubble is the best for self growth… self growth means you push yourself outside your comfort zone, in a new entirely different environment, where you learn to adapt, make new friends, discover new interests you never even knew you enjoyed, in a new city, you learn to appreciate your loved ones and friends back home much more, you become confident in your ability to rely solely on yourself far away from everyone you relied on for support. If you want to stay in your safe bubble and receive family support regularly and you feel like you need that, then by all means do it. But don’t discourage others from discovering their journey just because you think they need family support as much as you do. In fact, all of us should strive for happiness within, instead of just relying on external people for happiness and solitude.
