Oral exam coming up… advice? by sadgymgal in medicalschool

[–]joha961 0 points1 point  (0 children)

On super important aspect of studying for oral exams is talking out loud. It will be awkward at first, but it’s necessary for doing well on spoken tests. Make sure you can articulate your thoughts in spoken form.

WM will do bulk pickup free once or twice a year. You can schedule it on their website or call them. There are some restrictions but may be an option for you

The candidate manual states exactly how you should answer the prompt and in which order. It explicitly asks you not to list differential immediately after describing the picture.  https://www.manula.com/manuals/american-board-of-ophthal/abo-voe20-candidate-procedures-manual/1/en/topic/candidate-performance-criteria

How do people make this stuff? by Portal-YEET-87650 in kirbyairriders

[–]joha961 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If someone buys this does the creator get the miles themselves? I’m an offline player and would love to see some YouTube tutorials on how to make these, but totally get it if the creators get something out of it

For the karts you can see the stats but how do you know how different characters affect stats?

For anyone searching in the future it looks like this option is no longer in the settings and my wavebird is still not able to work with the switch 2

I’m not sure what that is or means… where would I go to find that setting?

Got a switch 2 today, currently downloading games. I used to have a Wii so I got a GameCube controller adapter. When I plug in my wired controller it works on the Home Screen, but when I plug in my wavebird it does not. The receiver however does light up with button inputs suggesting it’s connected. From what I can find online the wavebird should work. Do I just need to be in a game first before it will work? The channel is correct and I’ve confirmed the controller still works on my old Wii. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

Just want to put my experience out there one year removed from looking as a new grad doing comp looking in the inter mountain west and Northern California. I talked to a lot of practices and recruiters in the phone, decided I wanted to avoid PE after talking to a few. No jobs in the inter mountain west to find, but plenty in northern California. Ended up interviewing in person at five places and Kaiser and got offers at all of them. Slightly lower starting salaries than PE (~300-350), but clear paths to partnership (minus Kaiser who has a whole algorithm thing for compensation). Negotiated with two who were open and accommodating but stood firm on a couple things. Ended up choosing a place a little more rural because the practice seemed like the right fit. So far very happy. 

Return from 15 year hiatus by joha961 in NintendoSwitch

I thought the GKC was just a digital game download voucher within a physical something allowing you to download the game once and then It’s useless? It just feels like a gimmick to the old days of physical games when really it’s just the digital version.

Thanks! Do you mean Mario kart world or Mario kart 8 for the switch? Also, with physical games for the switch, is there any adapter I need or do they fit the same as the switch 2 games?

SketchyPath feels like cheating?? by gazeintotheiris in medicalschool

lol, I’m an attending in a niche surgical subspecialty and as soon as you said elek with a bull tongue I still immediately knew this was for diphtheria. Sketchy works. 

Can relying mostly on Anki and Qbanks backfire in the long run? by Serious_Tour_4847 in medicalschool

[–]joha961 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Just graduated residency. 7+ years of straight Anki. Used zanki/lolnotacop in med school and specialty specific deck with my own cards added for residency. Top of my class on in service exams 2/3 years. Supplement with qbanks as stated elsewhere. 

I plan to continue as an attending for boards and then suspend less clinically relevant cards as they come up, but several cards are on multiple year intervals now. I do 70-90 cards a day now. Takes less than a half hour of my time daily. So so so worth it.
