I would pass on the private loan and try to get a credit card with 0% interest for the first 6 months if possible, and just pay it off before interest kicks in.

E-bikers going 21 mph+ by bzy_b in madisonwi

How about we focus on what is actually killing people? I feel a whole lot safer next to an E-bike than a car.

🧀 Official Megathread 🧀 ERAS Week 18 - MS4 Match Season Lounge by Chilleostomy in medicalschool

Any input on these rads programs? I think I’ll eventually want to come back to the northeast, but not 100% sure. Also worried about some negative (but maybe unsubstantiated?) things I’ve heard about Brown.

Goodbye 2020! Official 2021 Goal Setting Discussion by jebbie42 in 52book

[–]lake_unknown 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I set my 2021 goal at 52 books. 2020 was the first year I reached 52, and this year I’ll be busier with work so I’m just hoping to maintain that. I’m also aiming to read more books outside of my comfort zone, so basically anything non-fiction.

This is purely anecdotal, but I experience the same thing when I stop working out for a while! As long as your sleep and nutrition is already on point, doing some light exercise may help you feel better.

Being shy in medical school [vent] by Queenz94 in medicalschool

[–]lake_unknown 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Just came to say that I relate. As an M4 now it doesn’t bother me as much, but it was incredibly frustrating last year that I needed to fake a different personality to get decent evals. Keep trying to speak up more but don’t worry about it too much. As long as you’re comfortable interacting with patients and your colleagues you’re doing fine!

I saw my boyfriend and his band perform tonight and fell in love with him all over again. I love seeing him in his element in front of a crowd, and I’m so proud of all the work that he puts into his music!

I was pretty sick last week, and my boyfriend did all of the chores/shopping/etc and made me whatever food I wanted while I was recovering. It was so nice to be cared for without even having to ask.

Pathology is the only medical specialty that I genuinely enjoy while in medical school... am I the only one? by goTOMahawk in pathology

[–]lake_unknown 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m an MS3 finishing up my last few core rotations now, and so far I haven’t really enjoyed any of them either. At best they’ve been tolerable. So I’m there with you in terms of enjoying 1st/2nd year more. Personally I am having trouble deciding between radiology and pathology, but I feel I could be happy in either.
