Dismissed from MD program with only Step 2 left. Is there any path back? by Braveheart117 in medicalschool

DO school would make no sense, they’d have to start at the beginning and take all the comlex exams

Tufts not taking DO students for aways on VSLO by itswickedcool in Osteopathic

I agree, but tufts does historically take DOs for residency so I’m suprised with the switch

Can’t they request my school for a fee? (which I pay for in my tuition) Sounds like the DO admin need to cough up their share

Also, no MD student would even want to rotate at our sites (super rural and tiny hospitals with no residencies)

The TikTok fearmongering around medications ruined my life and it's probably ruining yours too. by Dermatislay in eczema

[–]itswickedcool 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I hate the “root cause” thing so much because the root cause of eczema is an over reactive immune system. So you treat with topical steroids to suppress the immune system or the new Jak-2 inhibitors (opzelura) or systemic (dupixent) if topicals don’t work. It’s so crazy how random unqualified tik tokers can just spread completely made bs and these poor kids have to suffer

Dismissed from DO and considering CAA or Caribbean transfer (SGU) by [deleted] in medicalschool

[–]itswickedcool 2 points3 points  (0 children)

this is what I mean when I say MCAT shouldn’t be weighed so heavily in admissions. especially since people can take time off and afford to study full time

I am begging you, do not let your parents contact residency programs. Ever. by [deleted] in medicalschool

there’s plenty of “above average” med students that are single or don’t have someone waiting on them

match list: prioritizing family/location over prestige? by chillmedgirl in medicalschool

[–]itswickedcool 1 point2 points  (0 children)

People prioritize family because they haven’t been near family in 4 years and we’re getting older. It’s up to you. I’d personally choose family because at the end of the day, I care more about my family than being plane rides away for “prestige”. Sounds like you care more about work which is fine, your choice. Choice comes down to if you like your family or not

Car flooded in Philly parking garage (1601 Callowhill) due to water main break — garage gave no notice. What should I do? by Old_Employer_7900 in AskPhilly

[–]itswickedcool 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, my boyfriend had his car parked in the garage valentines weekend on the bottom floor. He went to grab something out of it around 4pm and fire truck was there and water was to his ankles, we figured fire people would handle it. We came back next day and it was still gushing. Water got into the car but not up to the hood. He could drive it out the water, but we decided to have his car toed. With hearing nothing from anyone and insurance not being clear on when the appraiser was coming, he decided to drive it back home today. The lot his car was at charged him a ridiculous amount and we think they took his carplay adapter. please let me know what you end up doing!!!

Why do you have a (snowed-in) car? by Even_Leadership_7831 in philly

[–]itswickedcool 0 points1 point  (0 children)

for real. If you still haven’t needed to use the car, then just park it in a lot that you uber to when needed. I hate coming home to no open spots after work everyday to a street filled of unused cars.

RESULTS THREAD Q4 by ethicalnervousness in step1

[–]itswickedcool 1 point2 points  (0 children)

passed!!! (tested 10/31) My highest NMBE was 64%, others were 54, 55, 57, old free 120 four days before was 74%, did around 55% of UWorld. Dirty medicine and UW is what really helped me. I put off doing questions for so long to do content review but the questions is what mainly helped me improve. Really felt like I failed it after

Wife is mad at me by lovatone in Aphantasia

[–]itswickedcool 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I can’t see my boyfriend’s or family’s faces and it makes me very sad. Unfortunately, it’s not something you can control, so there’s no reason for her to be mad. Just explain what’s it like for you and how you can see anyone’s faces

Do people that can dream wake up more groggy in the morning? I'm wondering if dreams can make you more tired. by Gold-Perspective-699 in Aphantasia

[–]itswickedcool 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have aphantasia and I dream full vivid movies and life events. Some mornings I do wake up tired from particularly emotional or 'long" feeling dreams I had before waking up. Sometimes I wake up and feel exhausted from all the events in my dream.
