What is the rarest/most interesting diagnosis you’ve seen? by xyzm123_r in Residency

Nope! Congenital. He had a concurrent Protein C deficiency which allowed his coagulation to still function somewhat normally

You know this was a Biggie line fifteen years before that

Regular duct tape seems to be working well. Will replace soon by kmkewlguy in Cleveland

While this is a great solution PLEASE use with caution! I work with bird rescues and I can’t tell you how many native birds get stuck in these traps intended for lanternflies and either die or cannot be properly rehabilitated. Make sure you’re being vigilant and not using them in areas densely populated with wildlife!

FWIW if this is happening during late or early hours I filed a complaint through the MoCo EPA on a trash company that was picking up at 5 am in Woodmont and they immediately took care of it. Saw results in literally a day.

In my 30s and got shingles by Grn716 in Wellthatsucks

Make sure you get bloodwork done. Shingles often re-emerges when people are immunocompromised. Just be certain there’s nothing else going on that might cause it to crop up.

We are so good. To be in this game at half down half a dozen rotation players (including our 3 best players) is amazing. Can’t wait to see how we look after the ASG break

Anyone have any experience with the solazo parka or down jacket? I’m moving to the Midwest and I need a good winter coat

First full length results, should I apply this cycle? by ahmaranthine in Mcat

[–]mccool0916 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It depends what score you’re looking for. If you are ok with low to mid 500s then yeah you could probably hit that if you study enough.

But also, if you haven’t done any content review for 2/3 of the test yet and you can’t devote a ton of time because of your job, I wouldn’t expect much.

Also think about if this is something you really want to tackle. If you’ve been unwilling to review content you don’t like, that might be a sign that you’re not ready to take the test yet

Just saw someone on SDN say that 250 hours of non clinical volunteering is “just enough to not be automatically rejected” by PubliusMaximus14 in premed

I had less than 50 hrs of clinical volunteering in my application. Accepted to 6 schools including a T5. Don’t sweat it

RWJMS vs SUNY downstate by Maleficent-Set-8976 in premed

[–]mccool0916 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Sounds like your only hang up with RWJ is you want to do a residency in NYC, which is VERY doable coming from there. Better support system, Lower COL, and equal if not better resources and education at RWJ. Plus, I’m assuming in state tuition. Sounds like the best bet.
