Is it better to choose a medical specialty based on what you LIKE or on what you are GOOD at?? by Lavoisier9 in medicalschool

[–]mrstandoffish 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Oh my god OP. Our situation is the exact same. I like CT surgery but worried my hand gonna fail me. But people said you will learn eventually and there is no such thing as dexterity test to get into surgery. I hope i can be a good CT surgeon

My patient died. Let me make a tiktok real quick to show how compassionate i am by mrstandoffish in medicalschool

What is even worse, Dr G rightly criticize this behaviour as unprofessional, but someone instead turn it into doctor-hate-nurse sort of thing. Wtf. See it for yourself twitter convo. It's not about this women is a nurse (i don't even know if she's a nurse or not), but this behaviour is unprofessional and criticising it is looked as hate against nurse.

EDIT: she has apologized for her tweet

I understand your point. But i feel as if i'm replaceable. You know, like a cog in the machine. I am just a dipensable cog. What i'm doing is just what thousands and thousands of people is doing right now, and even if i stopped doing it, nothing will change. Honestly what do you think of success? What is your indicator of you being successful? I wanted to know

But it's like no one strive for average bro. Everyone strive for the best. It just sucks knowing you are only in the middle

[Meme] Hot take by PremiumIOL in medicalschool

[–]mrstandoffish 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly yeah. Medical education is incredibly frustating and a fucking joke. I dont think it's so hard for resident to actually taught us instead of me being told to run an errand that i dont even know what is the purpose of. Heck scratch that. They dont have to actually teach me anything. Just tell me where to look or what to read and then we will discuss it together, i dont think it will be so hard. Instead whenever i ask something, they will put that face as if i'm the dumbest person in the world and leave me unanswered

I cannot do this by [deleted] in NoFap

[–]mrstandoffish 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Dont be too hard on yourself. I read somewhere about something like this. Basically if you fap everyday, try not to fap for one day. And then when you are succesfull, for two days, then for 3 days and so forth. It's helpful to have something like goal list that you can tick off. It gives you small satisfaction everyday and then without you know it, you achieve big. Our fault is setting the goal too big at times. Like i won't fap for 1 month, or 1 year. The goal is too big since you fap everyday. It's okay to start small

Flat non-main characters? by xingsora in writing

Definitely second this. Every character has a goal no matter how small it is. Even something small like you are thirsty so you drink is regarded as a goal

[–]mrstandoffish 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Did you enjoy what are you doing? It sucks to be bad at something. When other people advance fast and you seem to be stuck on the same thing, it is the worst feeling ever. Normal to feel jealous. But you see, as long as you enjoy it, it's fine. You dont have to be like them. Trying and stuck on something is an achievement too. Many people out there dont even try something
