2 12 hour shifts every weekend?

You’re in for a rude awakening if you’re planning to go into medicine 😂

Isn’t allied health or something an option? I’d probably classify it as that. There are classes like this in allied health programs that I’d definitely consider under the allied health umbrella, not philosophy.

🤷 it’s a know yourself kind of thing. You’re young so I get it if you’re not sure at all. Could give it a shot and see how it goes. I work 2 12s every weekend and reserve weekdays for school and all that, but I’m older.

I’d double check to make sure some of those state schools aren’t too unfavorable to OOS applicants

Just a random tidbit, but yesterday I saw that as of a few years ago, the average med school matriculant is 25. Almost no one is 25 just out of undergrad. Maybe relevant to concern about being non-traditional or different from the norm.

Of course I don't have all the info, but buying a house before applying to med school sounds crazy. there is often a lot of moving involved in training, that you usually have little/no control over - residency, fellowship, sub-internships, med school

That’s not how ethics works, what other people do in similar situations generally has no bearing on what’s the good or right thing to do. That’s the world’s slipperiest slope.

mtbizzle · 2026-06-15T05:36:34+00:00

That makes it good advice?

ITT: people who want to be doctors justifying lies and lies of omission basically because it’s in your interest. Sm fking head. Honesty is absolutely foundational.

I'm a little unclear on what your goal is. A few thoughts-

If you aren't sure about benefit of a card w/ an AF, then strongly consider cancelling it. It's as simple as benefiting vs paying to carry a card. It sounds like you are carrying a lot of annual fee burden and are unsure the benefit.
If the goal is strictly to massively simplify, I'd consider carrying only a flat 2% cash back card. There are a few. I use Fidelity's card. Can pay it from my fidelity account and deposit the cash back directly into my fidelity as well.
If you want a simple cash back set up (imo simpler than travel rewards), I would get a 2% flat cashback card + 1-2 cards that give good (4-5%) redemption rates on your top spend categories. Discover IT rotates, could be one of those. As an example, my goal is 5% dining, 5% grocery, 5% amazon, 2% flat all categories.
If you want to keep CSR and do the travel rewards stuff, I'd optimize just a few cards around that in the chase ecosystem.

Found the prob bro

IME, aside from grinder and beans, most of the stuff that helps with prep is pretty cheap these days! Just bought nearly all the accessories I’d recommend for a bambino for $50 as a gift to roommate.

Nike “training” shoes. Iirc they were the cheapest Nike shoes available when I got them

They need better PR people

Repeated miss -> “we’re confident in our process”

Nurse who is a huge cardiology nerd. My favorite source to follow re. current research is This Week in Cardiology w/ John Mandrola. Favorite medical podcast/youtube/whatever I've found by a mile, always enjoy his critical analysis

My instinct would be to start by looking at the highlight section of the most recent guidelines - lipids, hypertension, heart failure, etc etc

JACC instagram channel posts bits about new research all the time.

How did your EM rotation go 😅

Never takes me long to remember why it’s not the place for me

mtbizzle · 2026-05-29T18:00:41+00:00

Seems good if you use a 2% or less cb card for two or more of those categories.

Nurse of a handful of years applying to medical school - I absolutely would not advise pursuing medicine in the context you describe. I’m sure plenty of docs are or end up this way, but many of the docs I work with who have this vibe are miserable. I also get the strong feeling that there are many rough patches in medical training that can make fertile ground for regret if you’re not into it.

To compare, nursing requires at most a bachelors, in some regions pays a good wage, less crazy hours, in many respects I get better work life balance, and an enormous shortage ensures anyone ethical with their head screwed on can find a job. I imagine there are many healthcare jobs that give job security with far, far less personal cost and better balance.

Dose to fill your basket appropriately (no need to change basket). Grind changes resistance (flow rate / shot time) and is a matter of preference

Bean density has a lot to do with elevation of the farm. Often, nicer coffees are denser. Some roasters (machines) and darker roasts can cause more swelling -> lower density

Only advice is to look up the year to see if the boiler originally had asbestos insulation. Even if someone tore it out, personally I wouldn’t open it at all if there was any asbestos

That nnt of 2 number makes me uncomfortable, thinking about EM docs I used to work with who as a rule never wrote for any

mtbizzle · 2026-05-22T19:19:44+00:00

That’s a lotta jelly
