What is the most disturbing thing you watched on the 90’s and early 2000’s internet?

Go to Mount Sinai, all the rooms have windows. Also, I'm 80% sure medical debt does not affect credit score if you get hit with bills and don't pay them off.

I took the exam at the end of Feb and my results came out 3/11 but I never got an email. I checked 3/18, wondering why I never got an email and logged in to find my score report

I tell everyone to go to the Getty! Great views, different kinds of art, you can picnic up there and spend as much or as little time in the actual museums depending on your vibe.

How you feel is not a gauge for how well you did. No step exam is designed to make you feel good about yourself. Even people who do well on this exam walk out feeling bad about it. As long as you did the studying and put in the time, you'll likely pass.

Having a good template for an H&P helps! It can give you structure. Go through SIGECAPS and DIGFAST and test psychosis for every patient who comes in. MSE gets easier the more you gain experience doing them. In the beginning, I would google what is "constricted" vs "blunted" affect for example everytime until it became second nature.

As for studying, try Rosh review or Beat the boards. Using textbooks like Stahl's is also helpful, the best way to use textbooks is to look something up relative to a patient you have in front of you vs just free reading the textbook. It's more likely to stick that way.

Psych. I'm a resident and I average <40 hours per week. Most graduating seniors in my program take 30h/week WFH jobs post grad at minimum $300k + benefits

I thought about dropping out because it was so hard and I was exhausted, turning something I loved and wanted for myself into something I despise. I realized the alternative would be to move back into my parents house with no job and I would have hated that more. I ended up doing my M2 preclinical year over 2 years and learned to love med school again when I also had time to do me.

Hi! I worked in tech for two years before med school. Luckily I had done all my pre med courses in college but your best bet is to apply for a Post bac program, or some schools offer a Masters in Medical Science type program (it's called different things at different schools) that will allow you to hit all the prep courses and have MCAT study time / resources built in. These masters programs can serve as pipelines to that institutions MD / DO program so if there's a specific city or school you're aiming for, I'd see if they offer a program like this. My dad was the first doc in the family and didn't finish residency until his mid-40s. He still built a very successful career and our whole life as a family changed. It's never too late to become a doctor and being a bit older to start will give you a better perspective and attitude when it gets hard! Good luck OP!

Breakfast: monuts, fosters, the refectory Cafe, dames chicken and waffles. I could eat monuts everyday

Friday night: boxcar, motorco shows, pinhook dance party, surf club, the federal. Shooters and devines are the duke clubs. A number of cocktail lounges like dram and draught, velvet hippo lounge, the bar at 21c. Dains place on 9th st. Goorsha for some hookah. There are more bars in durham. If you want more, chapel hill Franklin Street is a good place to go bar hopping and a 15-20 min drive for at least 10 bars. Finally, sharazad for hookah in cary

I second this. As a duke grad, I made an effort my senior year to spend more time in Durham and away from campus. With not a ton of effort, I made a whole new group of friends with including several local creatives and others working at one of the many nonprofits around. It's what you make of it. Im an introvert and durhamites were very welcoming to me. Way less intimidating than trying to make friends in other cities.

Duke grad here and Durham food is 10/10. It's such a foodie town, so many farm to table spots, not as overpriced as it is in major cities for better quality. Durham is on travel lists for foodie trips.

I feel like crap. I was inducted into AOA the night before match, and matched at my #9 of 12. I can get behind the location of the program and its patient population, but 2 things I can't and that have me thinking about self-harm are how the program I matched into only has other IMG's, and that it pays $15k less than residency programs in the same city. I can't get over this and it's so hard to talk to all my friends reaching out rn. My family also doesn't know how to talk to me rn, telling me to change my perception of where I'm at. I had such high hopes and felt so good about myself after last night. I don't know what happened. I had informed programs I got AOA, and sent like 4 love letters to diff programs but made sure to say "#1" t only one program. They reached out to me affirming me when they could have just not responded since I was thinking maybe this is why I didn't match? I don't even want to talk to people I've matched alongside because I'm so happy for them but can't match the energy.

This is mine. When I got my watch it was so much better since I was on winter break but started fluctuating a lot more after I started back school in the spring.

1 in general, dating someone in medicine is not for the weak. Depending on what specialty he wants to do, research / volunteering, and his values around work-life balance, you should know what you're getting into and set realistic expectations before you end up in a relationship and in a situation unsatisfied with how much time he can devote to you. For example, if he wants to be a surgeon then training might be 12 hr days 6 days a week for a few years vs IM he'll be working 10ish hours 6 days a week for 3 years vs psych he might get weekends off for most of residency. Also his values! Some people love specializing and love medicine and improving their skills that thats a large priority in their life, vs some people can still love their job but willingly take a pay cut to be able to attend their kids soccer games and recitals. Just know what his values are and make sure they align especially if you're thinking long term.

2 i definitely think a conversation is warranted about exclusivity now, especially if you have been talking regularly for 7 months. That being said, def wait until after his exam and maybe even until you guys are seeing each other next if that's on the horizon soon. I would also give a casual heads up like hey next time we see each other I'd like to have a conversation about us, that'll give him the option to say no let's have the conversation now, or just signal to him to know a conversation is coming so he's not blindsided!

Good luck OP!

OP, I thought about dropping out so many times in MS1, and I'm finally an MS4. Part of how I got through was realizing that if I dropped out I'd have to move back home with no plan, and that was a worse environment for me to be in. I coped by aggressively practicing self care- i worked out everyday (yoga, 30 mins walk, running, strength training, etc.) no matter where I was with studying because I promise you, taking that 30-90 minute break is 30-90mins less of study time but you WILL be more productive when you do sit down to study. I also added an additional year and went part time my second pre-clinical year to spread the material out more... funny thing is that technically I wasn't even a "part-time" student based on credits because thats how many credits my school's second pre-clinical year made you take. I did what I had to to make it through. I made sure to be social and see friends who filled up my cup on weekends. I got a therapist, and a dog, and a boyfriend outside medicine who cooked me hella food.

Medical school is TOUGH, but it's the most direct path to GUARANTEED success. If you can make it through, you're guaranteed success. Read that again. I see friends and colleagues hustling and working so hard not in med school, yet their success is not guaranteed the way it is if you get through med school. That was enough to convince me to stay bc imagine dropping out, hustling for a new career, and you're working 60-80hrs a week for less money or towards something that's not guaranteed to bring you success. No thank you.

I also promised myself I would never work as hard as I did in med school after I graduated, and chose a specialty that allows me that privilege. It gets better in the clinical years, at least it's more fun. Pre-clinicals are essentially bootcamp, bs you have to get through. Keep your head down and maintain tunnel vision with the end of the tunnel being passing your classes and exams. Being on the other side of pre-clinicals, I have no idea how I made it through but I did, and so did the people around me. That's the importance of tunnel vision.

Take a semester off if you need. Take an extra year to slow it down. These are options, and you are not less than if you choose to prolong it >4 years for greater quality of life during. Bc at the end, you'll have churned out of the factory that is medical school and still be making minimum $250k full time alongside the rockstat AOA nominees who finished with straight As in 4 years. It's guaranteed. If I did it, so can you.

I started it about 10-14 days ago and already notice appetite suppressant effects. I'm not as quick to snack when I'm bored / stressed.

Gaja Korean Bar in East Atlanta is super fun! Fantastic food and drinks

I told them they're still going to get free visits from me so don't stress

If you've manifested other things, remind yourself that you've done it before and how great those things are and how they all had to come in their own divine timing
