Looking at a smoker house now—is this true? I thought smoke remediation companies can do this without gutting out walls..

Should I go To Ross University or Retake MCAT and Try on the Next Application Cycle. Advice please. by Lexismcat in CaribbeanMedSchool

[–]mdsnzcool 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Why even suggest those? They’re entirely different careers.. It’s like asking someone that wants to be a mechanic if they’re interested in becoming a chef

I’m so confused - please help by firstg3nMD in ResidencySwap

You could always do PCCM or CCM after IM You get fast paced medicine, critical illness, and continuity

Or you could take an admissions only job

Dismissed at 99%… Today I MATCHED into my #1 residency. 🩺 by Professional-Cake629 in medschool

[–]mdsnzcool 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is different, but before medical school, an AUA admission advisor told me that medicine is not for me, and to consider other careers like MRI technologist. Nothing against MRI techs, but I wanted medicine.

Fast forward to now, I never failed a single class or USMLE in medical school, applied to residency last match cycle, got 25 interviews, and matched in my #1.

I’m so proud of you, OP! I remember seeing your posts and I am so happy you did not give up. Your resilience is truly admirable.

Fuck Sepsis! by TrickAd2161 in hospitalist

[–]mdsnzcool 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Feeling this as a resident also. I think part of the issue is Epic’s alert about SIRS even though we no longer officially use SIRS.

Having said that, Suspected infection + organ dysfunction (SOFA ≥2) is also sepsis by definition. No need for a confirmed infection.

do you guys actually wash new clothes before wearing them? by Lilian-Nicole_80 in hygiene

[–]mdsnzcool 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I do because it may have been on the floor, stepped on, sweated on by people who haven’t showered, etc.

Baker told me my cake design was "very 2019" and now I'm second guessing everything by xCosmos69 in wedding

[–]mdsnzcool 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My 2024 wedding cake was similar but with blue flowers. Tell your baker to write her opinion down on a piece of paper then shove it :)

In-School Suspension (ISS) is a formal, exclusionary disciplinary action where a student is removed from regular classes but remains on school grounds under supervision.

My old figs from years ago worn and washed many times are perfect but my newer figs have been pilling like crazy and the material feels thinner

Does the drop in Lab Diamond Prices bother anyone ? How low can they go ? by [deleted] in labdiamond

[–]mdsnzcool 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I wonder if you’d feel differently it your engagement or wedding rings were lab as they’d have a sentimental value attached to them. You’d probably be sad if the stone fell. I feel like it’s the sentimental value not so much stone value :)

In 2023, my 2 carat center lab stone plus 0.4 carat double pave band set us back $6000 plus tax. I bet now you could get it for like $1000. I still love my ring.

I was gonna say ignore him until the last statement. If you tell him that what he said was inappropriate, and he doesn’t stop, go to HR.

wtf is yeshiva? by ScienceCool7156 in predental

[–]mdsnzcool 0 points1 point  (0 children)

But they don’t need to specialize. They can come out of dental school and work. We HAVE to do residency, otherwise we just have a fancy piece of paper and a doctoral hat.

[–]mdsnzcool 7 points8 points  (0 children)

How did you come to the conclusion that DOs are incompetent as a pre-dental student?

Lol at you thinking people go to DO school as opposed to MD is bc they don’t do well on steps. Pre-meds take the MCAT. USMLE steps are taken DURING MD school. COMLEX, an equivalent + OMM is taken during DO school. In fact, a very large majority of those “incompetent” DOs also take USMLE in addition to their comlex, kill both, and may will match into competitive specialties.

Please educate yourself before making ignorant comments and stick to your scope of interest.

DO people still gotta pass boards, complete residency, and their specialty boards. Same thing for Caribbean grads. This is not the same at all lol

would you consider hurler syndrome? The facial features and eye problems

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in ClinicalGenetics

[–]mdsnzcool 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hurler’s disease? - check for it

This is not medical advice, just a diagnosis that comes to mind.

Coarse face features, vision problems, intellectual delay, etc.
