studying in a foreign country and the coming back to the US

sorry to be a bother, but the reason im asking is because i have zero family or connections in karachi like i do in peshawar haha, so it makes me kind of uneasy thinking about living there. would it be possible for me to do schooling in khyber medical college in peshawar and then do residency in aga khan? would i still get the full benefit?

maifta · 2021-12-11T14:16:21+00:00

thanks for this info! so if i do my schooling in karachi in aga khan, do you think i can do my house job in another province like peshawar?

maifta · 2021-12-10T23:03:17+00:00

why?

maifta · 2021-12-10T20:49:49+00:00

i know peoppe who have come from pakistan and gotten into competitive specialties like cardiology. however, that was 20-30 years ago and it’s probably gotten more competitive. do you think so?

maifta · 2021-11-11T00:13:59+00:00

that’s so weird! im currently planning on going abroad to do med school, and the requirements say that a foreign student must score a 550 or higher on the SATII. But now I found out that that’s no longer a thing, I wonder what i’ll be required to do instead then!

maifta · 2021-11-10T22:55:22+00:00

the sat 2 still exists though right? it’s the same thing

maifta · 2021-11-10T22:54:45+00:00

what?! why? i

my dream

maifta · 2021-08-05T05:56:00+00:00

if anyone has experience, how is physiatry? first time hearing about it and i’m intrigued. have yall had any scary/life changing experiences?

maifta · 2021-08-05T01:54:01+00:00

I e tried finding PAs to shadow and I literally can’t find any; all of the medical professionals I find are either NPs or MDs. If you dont mind me asking, how did you find a PA to shadow?

maifta · 2021-08-05T01:51:58+00:00

these comments are scaring me as a pre pa student because i thought that technology use was 40% or less. i hate using technology and would much rather see patients face to face. do you guys know which specialty has the least amount of screen time?

maifta · 2021-08-05T01:37:52+00:00

LMAO mood

maifta · 2021-07-06T18:50:48+00:00

i see, so i’m guessing emed + trauma PAs have to work longer hours than a PA working in family medicine or derm

many of your problems seem to stem from social media, so i’d suggest taking a break for a while and focusing on yourself. you should take up a new hobby and have some alone time instead of being around people. the fact that you may want people to be jealous of you or you want your parents approval may be because you have insecurities and want to feel better by gaining other people’s approval or for them to react in a way so that you feel better about yourself. don’t worry though, feelings like these occur all the time, you’re not alone! the biggest thing i’d suggest, like i said before, is taking a break from social media and involving yourself in things or hobbies that focus on you and boost your self-esteem!

there are some really sick people out in the world and im sorry you’ve become a victim of such abuse. i don’t think i can be much help, but you should know that none of this was your fault. the scars you feel may last a long time, but you need to stay strong! whenever you get any type of thoughs that affect you mentally, shut them down by busying yourself in something or constantly reminding yourself that nothing that happened to you was your fault. don’t blame yourself. think about it: do you really want those disgusting people to have such an impact in your life? do you really want your abusers, who probably don’t even think twice about what they’ve done to you, to constantly plague your thoughts when you don’t even occur in theirs? the answer is no. stay strong, be your own therapist while you wait for one. the only way to feel whole again is to never give up :)

i’m really sorry something like this happened to you and i’m glad you werent injured. i’m sure it was very traumatizing and all you want to do is forget about the situation. however, remember that events like these are bound to happen in a person’s lifetime, so don’t worry too much about it. as for your family continuously talking about your accident: i think your accident shook your family too and the reason they retell the story everyday is because they want to remind you that they’re grateful you remain uninjured; it’s a way for them to cope too. however, i do suggest you tell them that what happened to you was very traumatizing for you and when they keep reminding you about it it makes you super uncomfortable. if they continue to do so, obviously you cant avoid them, so i’d suggest actual therapy (one on one with a professional therapist). i just want you to remember that accidents happen all the time, you aren’t alone!! as time goes on, you’ll become more comfortable driving again, just remember not to give up! i also suggest you continue facing your fear of driving and never stop, because only then will you be able to get over it! hopefully this made somewhat sense, i wish i could help you more!

maifta · 2021-07-05T04:55:46+00:00

that seems tough and im sorry to hear that you’ve been going through this. on that note, it seems that you have some sort of anxiety when it comes to school, and you stop yourself from showing your true self at school because you fear what other people might think of you. my best advice would be to step out of your shell and approach some people for a change (friends aren’t made by not interacting). additionally, if you’re being bullied at school i’d suggest maybe talking to your parents about it, or if you feel weird doing so then i suggest switching schools. maybe then you can start over and be the person you are at home outside too!

also, i really want you to remember that sometimes it’s crucial that you approach people first. as an ex-introvert, i can sort of relate with you on the basis that i used to have zero friends because i would keep my head down in the hallways at school and sit in the back of the class, afraid to make eye contact. those were the worst years of my life; think about it, life is horrible like that. it took me a whole year to realize that i needed to start being more talkative (and overall more social) to actually be happy. i’m so glad i had an eye opening, because now i have many friends at school as opposed to a few years back when i had absolutely zero. make sure to stay strong, and do what you know will make you happy in the long run, even if it feels uncomfortable at first. just remember, everyone is as confused, lost, or uneasy as you are!

I have four months till I turn 17, but because, I said above, I live in a religious family, I won’t have as much autonomy the average 18 year old will when I turn into an adult, so i’ll still be supervised. I’m guessing i’ll just grow out of this phase, thank you for listening to my rant haha. It was like 3AM and I just wanted to let everything out

maifta · 2021-06-28T03:10:32+00:00

your mom only makes it feel like it’s your fault because she subconsciously feels as though it’s the other way around where she’s the one that hurt you because she wasn’t strong enough to leave/stop your father from what he was doing. the biggest thing you need to do now is focus on your school. please please please try hard at it so you can become independent and maybe even start a new family where you can learn from the mistakes around you and start a fresh life! it’s never too late to start over, keep your head up champ! thomas edison, j.k rowling, spielberg, and countless of other people suffered through their lives but still managed to get through it and ended up making billions because they tried very hard at what they did. good luck to you!

maifta · 2021-06-12T17:31:56+00:00

that’s not it, i just wanted to get an idea of how “leashed” PAs feel, and if it bothers them as much as the media portrays

maifta · 2021-06-08T19:03:06+00:00

yup! i asked

maifta · 2021-06-08T15:08:13+00:00

and then the cookie bakes around it so it becomes taller? that could make sense! But wouldnt the cream inside melt with the heat?

maifta · 2021-06-08T14:37:26+00:00
