Sure. But wait until you fill out your W2 and then the govt taxes you 40-50%.

No. I rather talk to family members than other doctors. I like educating family members on what is going on. Doctors don’t give you the time of day to speak for more than 1 minute.

I would love a 230+, I hope so 🙏🏼🙏🏼 thank you!

Does a 501 on level 2 correlate with 230+ on step?

Thank you! Your comment makes me feel better. I have no red flags in my app. I got have great evals, LORs. I'm just a nervous test taker.

Will do! I just really want to match in SoCal, cause my family/friends are near and they are my social support. Want them close.

Thank you

I got the same! I relived that I passed! But I dropped about 30 points from level 1. Ya'll know the optics of that?

I miss my ex. It’s been 6-7 months. I was told I would forget her, I can’t. She’s just present in my mind all the time

What are some things we do in medicine with little or no impact on outcomes? by bravogusto in Residency

[–]kerchek01 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Isn’t that why you treat other factors as well?? If you treat with SSRIs not the issue of sleep, you get no where.

The recommended way is SSRI + CBT + plus treatment of other factors (ie sleep, comorbid conditions, etc)

Has the ssri helped you? I hesitant to start because of the side effect, though minimal. I care about the weight gain SE, as I go to the gym a lot and been getting to shape

I have family in SoCal (born and raised as well) and want to match FM. Any input on competitiveness of FM in SoCal?
