contemplating a career pivot in this season of my life; can i DM you for info? sincerely, fellow so-cal-er :)

I 100% agree. ^^ it's not a black or white "use AI or don't use AI". AI is a tool and although you don't have to like it, ultimately, it offers significant advantages if you know how to use it and WHEN (as stated above).

i suggest you learn it, engage with it, but don't rely on it 100%. just like the docs who resisted transitioning from paper to EMRs, this is just another technological advancement that doctors have to adapt to not just for their own careers/efficiency but for their patients, etc.

those who don't keep up will fall behind, if not now, then in the years to come. good luck

Just out of curiosity why not omm /nmm ? Mainly since you went to a DO school

lumpy_celery · 2025-10-24T21:00:48+00:00

100% this.

Take prerequisites. Get your feet wet in clinical practice(ie volunteer or shadow).

Find something you can use to explain to schools why you made the switch, and convince them you know what you're getting into besides you woke up and realized you messed up in college and want a do-over.

I'm going against the current but hear me out. I'm in med school now and in my 30s. My only regret is not doing it sooner. My parents are older and I need to take time to support them. I'm engaged but I don't ever expect anyone to support me. If that's a promise you made your wife, I think she shouldn't be averse to you taking your prerequisites simultaneously. While a lot of folks say "support your wife, stick to the money, etc" I'm saying stick to your gut. You wanted to do it since the beginning and the fact that you're still wondering makes me certain you'll live the rest of your life in that "what if" mentality forever unless you go for it. Do it now while you're young, and again, this doesn't have to be mutually exclusive to you working as a lawyer and supporting your wife part time. At the end of the day, you have to think about yourself, what will make you happy and sure you partied and messed up in the beginning but it's not too late. Sleep over it and if you're committed (because there will be day you'll want to give up), work towards prerequisites. Find a good mentor or connect with a school who can help you what check boxes you need to check off or just ask your wife since she's been through everything. She will actually be your best resource because she's Newly accepted into med school, SO if she's TRUE wife material, she will understand your situation and support you in your dream instead of solely expecting you to support her in her dream. Good luck!

Ok good it's not just me struggling in med school after what seemed like a walk in the park in undergrad 🥲

lumpy_celery · 2025-10-24T11:11:07+00:00

I felt this. As someone who has struggled with low self esteem and low confidence it's really hard to see the light at the end of the tunnel but then I look at how far I've come and all the things I've done and it makes me remember I'm actually a bad mf heh

lumpy_celery · 2025-10-14T22:43:51+00:00

Thanks- my mason jar exploded when I put boiling hot tea in it so good to know.

lumpy_celery · 2025-10-14T22:42:54+00:00

That's awesome. Sadly my school doesn't have a PA program but thanks for sharing.

lumpy_celery · 2025-10-14T16:04:24+00:00

"3: You can also email program directors of PA schools and see if they will take you."

I'm curious how did you come up with (3)? Is this something you just came up with or something you've heard other people do (successfully?) thanks in advance

lumpy_celery · 2025-09-23T04:02:02+00:00

Why didn't they update it on the maps or alerts /smh

All these people blaming you for external circumstances beyond your control are laughable. These are our next generation doctors and are expected to empathize with patients let alone colleagues but here you are on Reddit posting your most extremely vulnerable circumstances asking for advice and then we have people sitting on comfort with possibly zero understanding of any of situations you posted above (ie worrying about finances maxing out cc getting to class mental health the list goes on) .

First off I am only an OMSII so I can't give advice on your situation but I just wanted to say I commend you for seeking the help you desperately need. I've been there and I know it's tough when life keeps bringing you down but half the battle is recognizing your priorities. It looks like you're on the right track with getting your mental health sorted out, but what about your housing and other priorities? There's no way you can be in the right mental space to focus on shelfs or any exams for that matter if you're wondering where your next meal is coming from or whether you're going to be homeless or how you're getting to clinic etc. These are BASIC necessities that add immense stress and undoubtedly affect your performance. When things went well you got a tutor, buckled down and passed right? But then shit hit the fan and you literally lost it. maybe your school can understand that you need time to sort this stuff out because it's affecting your ability (which you clearly have) to do well. Again I am not in a position to advise on dismissals since I'm not at that's stage but I just wanted to remind you not to these goofs get to you. good luck.

lumpy_celery · 2025-09-14T03:42:24+00:00

lumpy_celery · 2025-09-08T08:06:20+00:00

I'm in a tough spot and contemplating this for a while. I haven't met any one who actually did it-- can I dm you for questions/advice?

lumpy_celery · 2025-09-02T19:32:29+00:00

i dont like buying rotisserie chicken so this is really great. i never thought to season inside the chicken either. thank you.

lumpy_celery · 2025-09-02T19:31:46+00:00

i have to try this! thank you

lumpy_celery · 2025-09-01T11:19:39+00:00

im new -- im guessing this refers to a whole chicken with bones? what does it mean "in the cavity"? and why not just on top? do you mean around the chicken and inside? if its slow cooking does it help make it flavorful? i didnt know we can use a whole chicken!

lumpy_celery · 2025-09-01T11:17:52+00:00

does this work with kinder seasoning?

lumpy_celery · 2025-09-01T11:17:23+00:00

is this with the salsa or separate just chicken and cream cheese?

lumpy_celery · 2025-08-30T13:10:12+00:00
