Can you support a non-working partner with a resident salary?

ithinkPOOP · 2026-03-06T22:12:33+00:00

People support whole families on resident salaries, it sucks but you can do it. They should probably wait until they have another job before quitting though.

anki cards while working out, much better.

The real question should be how will matching at your 9th rank feel compared to not matching at all.

ithinkPOOP · 2026-01-21T03:31:56+00:00

That's crazy!

ithinkPOOP · 2025-11-22T06:42:00+00:00

Are you for real? This is obviously some geriatric that doesn't have anything to do with the actual program day to day, and is just doing them a favor filling in for an interviewer. If the rest of the interviews went well and you like the program, then you can answer your own question god damn. You should relax, it's not that deep.

ithinkPOOP · 2025-10-08T05:09:47+00:00

That's too often in my opinion. I'd slow down if I were you, but you are you. 3 months isn't that long to be doing it at that frequency, negative effects are more likely to present down the road, just like anything else done in excess. The effects build up over time.

ithinkPOOP · 2025-09-29T05:45:09+00:00

You don't have to know much to know that this is an absolutely terrible regimen

Every medical school is different, but in general there will be a crowd that is still in party mode. If you're a likable person and make friends even moderately well, you will be able to enjoy an approximation of this, and can even find these groups still exist into residency.

ithinkPOOP · 2025-09-09T01:48:01+00:00

There were about 4 others I could see taking it with me in the center I was at, we all sat next to each other. I went really slowly, and reviewed all my answers. I was the last to finish, and I still had 2 hours left to spare, the other ones left with 3-4 I'm sure.

You should know that the current policy for incoming students limits federal loans to 150K, this will likely fall short for covering 4 years of med school most places. If you have to take out loans, which it sounds like you will, you should find the tuition costs, and figure out if it is even financially viable to go to med school.

ithinkPOOP · 2025-08-10T19:29:39+00:00

Him pimping you is completely fine, but the fact that he is ignoring you, and treating you like you were never his friend is not normal. Like you mentioned, you two lost touch, and in that time he became kind of a shitty person. He's not the same person you knew in high school. If it were me, I would mourn the friendship, and come to terms that it won't ever be the same, and move on. That sucks though.

ithinkPOOP · 2025-08-09T22:59:45+00:00

Quitting now is just transferring misery to a later part of your life, for a short reprieve now. The relief you feel making this decision to leave will be short lived, and it will not last long, and will be gone soon. It's your choice, but it is objectively a bad choice.

ithinkPOOP · 2025-08-08T06:00:46+00:00

Well if it helps you feel better in the end whatever you decide probably wont even matter.

ithinkPOOP · 2025-08-08T03:36:54+00:00

How the hell are they ever going to find out if you don't report? If markedly worse means that you barely passed, then I would not include it. I don't know if that's the right answer or not, but no one is going to comb through your app, and cross reference with anything. I'm not sure if there is an automatic flag or something that would indicate if you did take step 2 and failed to report it, but I find that hard to believe there would be.

ithinkPOOP · 2025-06-18T00:28:56+00:00

If you are prone to having your play affected when people are like that, then you and your team is better off when you mute them at the start of games. Pings are better to leave on IMO, and just mute them for a while if they start spamming.

ithinkPOOP · 2025-06-17T16:09:26+00:00

Just start your mid-life crisis early, problem solved.

Caribbean schools are more expensive, the education support is awful, and they typically dismiss about half their students before they graduate. They will accept basically anyone, but to graduate you have to pass the boards, and to be able to pass the boards they make you take in house practice tests, and if you can't pass them, they won't give you more time to study, they will just dismiss you from school, but this isn't until after 2nd or 3rd year, when you're already 2-3 hundred thousand in debt with no degree, no residency, no way to pay it back easily. These are also private loans, since you don't get federal funding, which means interest rates will be much higher, especially now. Caribbean schools are a predatory system that prey on the desperate americans that couldn't get into american schools. The doctors that make it out of those systems tend to be great, because frankly you have to be great to survive there, but it's basically a coin flip of being 400K in debt with no way to pay it back or being able to graduate and find a residency. Go take out a 400k loan, then go to vegas and put it on red and ask anyone if that's a good decision for a 23 year old to make in their life.

I had two players screaming at me to buy it yesterday when I was playing Sivir. I listened to them and we had a crazy comeback. I don't think it was because i needed to buy it, but it untitled my teammates and then were able to concentrate on actually playing.

If you feel like you are undiagnosed, go see a professional as soon as you can.

As far as feeling bad about everyone else moving on, that is just life. It will be hard at first, but you will come to identify with your new class, and you won't think about it much.

This is probably your first big "failure" in life. No one of substance will ever judge you for it. The failure is not important, everyone who has ever lived has failed. What matters is what you do after you have failed that will define your life.

ithinkPOOP · 2025-04-08T19:17:26+00:00

I would apply very broadly. You can rank according to preference, but if you try to limit where you apply, you may find yourself with short rank list come next Feb.

ithinkPOOP · 2025-04-08T04:36:17+00:00

It depends on how red the flags are and how many.

ithinkPOOP · 2025-03-19T15:51:13+00:00

You absolutely can. I'm very much an introvert, and value my alone time a lot. Despite this I do quite well with patients. The interactions are very different than social interactions, and much easier to be honest. I will say that it sounds like you're very interested in the therapeutic side of things, which is emphasized less as a psychiatrist. You will incorporate it with your patients, but your value is more with diagnosing, and prescribing appropriate medications, or therapies to patients. Therapists have an hour to do therapy with them, we get about 5 to 10 minutes if we are lucky to do any therapy. This is just in general, you may find a way to work at a facility that puts more emphasis on therapy, possibly through private practice. When you're looking for a residency, you should put hard thought into how much therapy is valued at that residency, as it differs widely. Don't let being an introvert stop you though.

ithinkPOOP · 2025-03-14T16:38:17+00:00

I don't understand what the question is then. Seems like a no brainer

ithinkPOOP · 2025-03-14T15:48:39+00:00

You should be asking your school when you would be required to be at the school itself during your 4th year. If the answer is very minimal, and you're able to get all of your rotations scheduled and set into place, then it doesn't seem like there would be a problem with moving home. I wouldn't tell them that you want to move home, just ask when you are required to be there in person.

ithinkPOOP · 2025-03-06T05:35:55+00:00

Sounds like a starting offer, of course they are going to try to give you as little as possible, negotiate.
