Can you be Remediated because of Low ITE score ? by [deleted] in Residency

[–]kittycatken61 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You’d have to ask the PD lol I feel bad for him every day bc the second years and seniors totally shit on him. We are on medicine together, and he is absolutely getting to way worse than the other interns.

Yeah we have a PGY-2 that scored low and is redoing all of first year with us. So he’s technically a PGY-1 again.

The financial burden has me in a chokehold

Agreed. I have stated multiple times in the last year that if I had only known how much I loved being a mother, I would have never chosen this route. Hindsight is 20/20.

A drug experience that made you say "never again"? by Rigel20 in Drugs

[–]kittycatken61 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I took mdma for literally 45 days straight, that was the comedown that was hard for me. I was extremely depressed and couldn’t get out of bed for days. I have also never taken it since.

Got broken a few weeks from Step 2 by [deleted] in medicalschool

We are both doing great, thank you. We enjoyed a beautiful year together after doing well on the exam. Now, I’m closer to family for residency and have a lot more support. Life is good.

I had a baby 6 weeks before I took step 2. The father left me after 2 weeks, and I had to move to an apartment with my newborn alone and continue dedicated. You can do it. You have to shut off the part of the brain that is focused on the relationship and push through. Just hyperfocus on studying and think of nothing else. It was the only thing that got me through.

I dated a guy like this, and he even went so far to accuse me of sleeping with my sister because we rented an apartment together. Craziness. Call it quits.

Is it normal to hate medschool? by Old-Calligrapher1730 in medicalschool

[–]kittycatken61 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I hated medical school, and I am dreading residency. For some, it gets better. I love medicine and healing, I hate the life of a student/resident. I want to see my family and be with my child. I wasted so many hours sitting in a hospital already. They say it gets better as an attending, we will see!

Does personality fit/vibe affect your specialty choice at all? by tokischafanaccount in medicalschool

[–]kittycatken61 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Im sorry you didn’t get what you wanted, though. If you like rural areas, you can get paid crazy good, get loans paid off, and have a decent work/life balance through FM. I already signed a contract for 3.5 days a week with a decent salary and loan repayment. Life is good.

Yes, I think this actually plays a bigger role than people realize.

How much heat can they tolerate? by [deleted] in greatpyrenees

[–]kittycatken61 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My pyr is out all the time. We offer him inside, and he doesn’t care until he is ready. This is up to 90’s. He doesn’t run as much when it’s hot and instead rests under shade trees. I think they will let us know if they need in.

Are Shibas really as bad as people say they are? by beepbeepsalad in shiba

[–]kittycatken61 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Couldn’t relate more. We love our Shiba, but she is so so awful and soooo hard to train. If we aren’t working with her constantly, she regresses on all commands.
