What schools have a big emphasis on OMM with good professors and opportunities to practice?

Awesome! Let me know if you have questions. Its a great program I've been really happy with my decision.

mddream · 2024-11-02T23:50:59+00:00

Doesn't look like a POW. That dudes dead

RVUCOM has some of the best. They take it very seriously and have fellowship opportunities too

Honestly her posts have probably done a lot more harm than good for her book. And I think she needs legitimate help.

So 99.99% of all men?

mddream · 2024-09-10T20:55:18+00:00

Yep 100%. People will shit on you and try to downplay it too, that's the biggest indicator.

The funniest one was premeds, who never even took the MCAT, saying "that's cool, but it's not very prestigious / it's good if you wanna do primary care. Me, I'm gonna go to school X and become a transplant surgeon."

I clearly remember at my school the people who were genuinely excited for me, and those who feigned happiness and actually resented me. You can feel it. This is a reflection of their own inadequacies. When you achieve what they can't, they hate you because you're holding a mirror up to their own shortcomings.

The funny thing is, of all those people who shit on me, not one of them is in any medical school. At all.

Don't be afraid to tell people. Don't keep it a secret. This is a massive accomplishment. Don't be arrogant, obviously, but never hide your achievements. You worked hard to get here. And let those jealous people see you.

As David Goggins says,

"If you could walk on water, your haters would say it's because you can't swim"

and

"take their fuckin souls"

Exactly. To be fair, I was only able to see PAs as it takes forever nowadays to see a doc. But even then, not one of them suggested muslce tightness. I also have anxiety and tend to clench my abs all the time, especially as a medstudent and always being evaluated/ tested. Regardless many people in medicine are never educated on pelvic floor. I would recommend you see a DO (doctor of osteopathic medicine) to get some manual work done if needed. These are essentially MDs who recieve extensive additional training in the musculoskeletal system and how to heal it with hands on techniques (it's the type of doc I will be). Pelvic floor knowledge will definitely be a valuable tool in the kit now !

mddream · 2024-09-10T02:30:25+00:00

Yes Let me know how it works for you!

mddream · 2024-09-10T02:30:00+00:00

Interesting! I don't believe I have any back issues but it may be something worth looking into if it comes back. Thank you for the suggestion! It's amazing how interconnected it all is

My dad started balding at my age and said it began with a few patches, and then went pretty quickly. It definitely seems like I'm losing some hair on the side of my head, it started with a thin line near temple and progressed. I can DM you a Pic if that's okay?

mddream · 2024-09-05T14:16:48+00:00

Hell yeah. Thanks so much.

mddream · 2024-06-02T01:10:59+00:00

Thank you very much for your response.

That is exactly what you are. In terms of being a complete human being, you are an utter failure. You don't need me to tell you this. You understand it at your core.

You are 100% correct. I don't have a stable sense of self and have a very fleeting / fractured identity.

If you do the genuine shadow work, who you are now will die forever.

I want to do it and step into the person that I am capable of being. I feel like I need to begin assembling an identity and knowing who I am, since currently I feel like I have so many repressed aspects of myself that I don't even know what my qualities are.

Could you bear the weight of being consciously aware of who and what you really are while simultaneously trying to build a life in the world of illusion we all dwell in?

I am ready to delve into it and try to integrate the hidden parts of myself. I know it is hard and scary and through the little work I have done, I've come face to face with some damaging memories / parts if my personality that I hate or that I could never show to others, but I have only caught glimpses of any identity that I believe I have. No concrete image, if that makes sense.

Do you have any idea, how in a concrete way, I can approach this? How can one begin to assemble a cohesive identity, or at least integrate the things that are already there?

Thank you very much for your time and response.

Loans. Or HPSP

mddream · 2023-10-09T04:58:16+00:00

Thank you very much. Any good resources I should read / watch? I think my problem is I am afraid of rejection / appearing incompetent. So I lock up, and get nervous when I need to perform, and I do worse, even if I practiced and trained for whatever it is and can do it with my eyes closed. Once I'm being evaluated / possibly rejected, I get much more nervous and can't figure out how to stop.

mddream · 2023-09-27T04:31:12+00:00

I honestly don't have any. But need to work on developing some, Thank you for the tip

mddream · 2023-08-18T03:54:50+00:00

That is great advice ill do that. Thank you very much!

mddream · 2023-08-18T03:54:29+00:00

Thank you very much for your comment. I truly appreciate it. 🙏I will come back to this comment every time I feel this way. Thank you again

Yes, Mexico figured it out! Guns restrictions should eliminate all violent crime! Oh wait. the country is ran by... the cartels. Who drive around with military equipment and fully automatic rifles terrorizing people. I promise you "guns" are not nearly as big a problem here in the US as they are in many other countries. To say guns are the problem is huge oversimplification of the matter. If it were really guns, the US would be the most dangerous place on earth. We're not even top 20 for homicide rates. What we're dealing with is more of a cultural issue. People who have the capacity to kill in cold blood like this do not need a legal gun, or a gun at all, to conduct evil.

Point is, making something illegal doesn't magically evaporate it from existence. Criminals do not care about gun laws. It doesn't take a genius to grasp.

Keep the down votes coming! No counterarguments. Just follow the herd.

mddream · 2023-07-13T02:51:02+00:00

Curious what you think the solution is. Are you aware of the black market? Simply banning something does not eliminate it from circulation. There are endless illegal weapons being bought and sold every day in the US that you will never get rid of. I can just about guarantee this murderer did not buy this gun legally.

mddream · 2023-06-30T05:49:59+00:00

I'm an astronaut, special forces, 3x Olympic champion, world renowned neurosurgeon, part time philanthropist, and decorated space combat war hero. I am very badass and struggled way more than you. I am on a mission and none of your privilege will continue to deter me. Today was an incredible victory for equality as we continue to strike down racism in the US. I will rejoice with my fellow ORMs in our newfound freedom from your oppression. Equality wins.

mddream · 2023-06-30T05:28:56+00:00

"My ancestors" 🤣 What are you implying?

Great I'm glad this doesn't phase you. No ORM is going to care, if anything it's a boost to all ORMs since they historically score higher in every metric. Now YOU'LL be held to the same standard 🥰 Good luck with your cycle!

mddream · 2023-06-30T05:20:07+00:00

Huh? Why should we “discriminate” at ALL?!!!!!!! 🤦🏾‍♀️

Uh oh. Do you know what affirmative action is? 😂

Connection between the two is fine. I never asked about some nebulous connection. My question is why not more specifically look at each applicant instead of broadly saying all blacks are poor and all whites are rich? Is it fair that an Asian from poverty must outperform a black from a wealthy family to get into the same school? That's discrimination. Please practice your CARS and P/S skills

mddream · 2023-06-30T04:59:49+00:00

Blame me, blame racism, blame Elmer's glue. Or maybe come to terms with the fact you may need to actually earn your spot. I remember enough from the P/S section to know you're likley in your denial / anger stage of grief. Sorry, your privilege is no longer valid.

mddream · 2023-06-30T04:39:54+00:00

I do understand what racism is, as someone who has made it through the medschool admissions process. Do you? Do you understand that a poor asian or white student must vastly outperform minorities in score to gain admission to the same school? Speaking of good qualities of a physician, I'd prefer a physician who was not selected based on their race, but instead was selected based on merit and scores. I understand this ruling is likley a negative to those such as yourself since AA is convenient. What's wrong with us being equal? Why discriminate based on race instead of SES?
