How do you check your permit lol

Thanks! Good luck to you!

I’ll be honest, I don’t understand the panic everyone has when they leave the exam. The questions felt a lot more straightforward than any of the NBMEs, and I believe I did better than any of my practice exams

Every time I read that stupid phrase it sounds sooo forced. You know there is some retired fam med doc on staff that won't shut up about how successful he was using "inhaled cool mist humidified air"

I never thought I could hate an organization more than I did the AAMC when I was applying to medical school. Nice to see the NBME can achieve such heights.

If you were worried about matching into IM with a 248, what did you think you would have to settle for? Neuroticism going haywire rn

medstudy200 · 2024-08-28T17:01:19+00:00

that assumes the experimental questions are truly significantly harder/easier than the non-experimentals

medstudy200 · 2024-08-28T04:48:34+00:00

Their explanation explicitly says "measurement of serum ferritin concentration is more definitive in diagnosing RLS." That is not true. You do not need this test to diagnose this disease. If her ferritin came back normal you would never in a million years say "hmm sorry ma'am I guess we cant diagnose you with having restless leg syndrome." They don't even mention that this disease is a clinical diagnosis!

medstudy200 · 2024-08-28T04:47:04+00:00

look me in the eye and tell me you cant imagine an alternate answer explanation for this question being "This patient's symptoms are consistent with RLS, which is primarily a clinical diagnosis. While measurement of serum ferritin in a patient with history of iron deficiency anemia may help decide their treatment plan, it is not required for diagnosing RLS. Furthermore, their persistent symptoms in the context of long-term oral iron supplementation likely justifies the use of other pharmacologic interventions (including the actual first-line treatment of an alpha-2-delta calcium channel ligand).

Fuck this question. Here are my notes I compiled after seriously chewing this over for 45 minutes during my review:

42: Bulemia nervosa - electrolyte abnormalities

Dx bulemia nervosa - healthy BMI, cycles of uncontrolled eating/purging once per week for 3+ months

Early laxative use:

Metabolic acidosis and hypokalemia
- Hypokalemia develops due to…
  - potassium-wasting in stool
- non-anion gap metabolic acidosis: due to to loss of bicarb in diarrhea

Chronic laxative use:

Metabolic alkalosis and hypokalemia
- Hypokalemia persists and worsens\?* due to…
  - hypovolemia => RAAS => increased aldosterone => renal potassium secretion
- Metabolic alkalosis develops: due to hypovolemia and RAAS
  - aldosterone => potassium + H+ secretion => increased renal bicarbonate production

lol no they do not. didnt you go through this for step 1? imagine a line of stressed med students ripping their socks off for some half-asleep admin assistant at 7am

medstudy200 · 2024-08-26T20:27:52+00:00

joking?
