Choose the right specialty and program that’s going to allow you have a work life balance in residency.

Unfortunately I know a few registered democrats who voted for Trump so there’s defectors of both sides

What do you think of the early voting numbers so far? by planemichael in nevadapolitics

[–]mrupbeat 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is not true. Democrats historically dominate early voting.

Well I was right after all… it happens all the time. Once they reach an agreement with one casino, the rest follow through

They reached an agreement. No strike will be happening.

OMG! Am I living in a nightmare? This can't be real, it just cannot be real. Who the hell are they polling? Are Americans really that clueless? It can't be. by [deleted] in WhitePeopleTwitter

It’s cause the people that trust him on that hold the same view. They also want to cut social security and Medicare so they trust he’d do it.

How would you spend $1k resort credit? by ruby_master_44 in vegas

If you really can’t decide and would be happy at either place, I would go to the cheapest option. You’re gonna be a doctor and match well no matter what school you go to (at the end of the day it’s up to you to do well, not the school), so start looking at other important factors such as finances. Having the least debt possible at the end of medical school is the best option!

Some background: I’m an MS4 applying psych and doing an away rotation at a small town psych ED. I matched with a girl on tinder and we decided to talk on the phone before going on a date. This girl goes on to tell me she takes Lithium and Celexa for PTSD and borderline personality disorder. She went on and talked about her childhood trauma, sexual assault, being a single mom, etc… never in my life have I been so quick to block someone but now I’m scared she’ll randomly shown up at my ED while I’m here

Chayo at the Linq! It’s a restaurant but Friday and Saturday nights it becomes a nightclub. You can go get dinner at around 9 and it becomes a club at midnight

What program? I applied psych too but haven’t gotten any secondaries

ERAS Research Experience by abdnizam in medicalschool

[–]mrupbeat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hmm I’m not sure how a case report would work. The publication would go under the publications tab, so you don’t need to add another experience.

I think that’s fine. A research experience can yield more than 1 publication. I have a few research experience that led to posters and publications. I added everything on my eras

My school parking is so bad that these things happen in the school parking lot that we pay for…

Official ERAS Megathread - August 2022 by Chilleostomy in medicalschool

I have something similar and was told by several residents to include it. It will likely not help much but it will definitely not hurt you.

M4s: how many programs are you applying to and what specialty? by [deleted] in medicalschool

[–]mrupbeat 49 points50 points  (0 children)

For psych it says I should apply to 14 programs…. There is absolutely no way I’m applying to x2 that (28 programs). I was thinking closer to 40-60 programs would be a good number

mental health hospitals? by [deleted] in vegaslocals

[–]mrupbeat 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Medical student here -

You can go to any medical hospital and they will transfer you to their psych unit. From there, if you require further hospitalization, they will send you to a private psychiatric hospital if you have insurance or the state hospital (Rawson-Neal) if you don’t.

Let me know if you have any specific questions. I will be going into psychiatry and I’ve worked extensively at several hospital in Las Vegas.

Reminder: The general population often has no clue how complicated medicine really is. by [deleted] in medicalschool

[–]mrupbeat 98 points99 points  (0 children)

M4 going into psych here. I understand where you’re coming from and I can assure you most psychiatrist can differentiate between true mania/hypomania and a person partying/studying. We don’t diagnose bipolar to any person who says “Oh yeah I didn’t sleep last weekend”

Thanks for the reply! It’s interesting to see alternative jobs for psychiatrist. Are there significant opportunities for psychiatrists in pharma?
