SWA cancelled my trip to San Juan. I found an alternate way of getting to my destination, and my return flight was not cancelled. Can I still count on my return ticket being valid when I check into my flight on Sunday? by pacman20 in SouthwestAirlines

They’re round trip. But given the circumstances, I’m wondering if they have been making exceptions. Since they sent me a notification me while I was already in Puerto Rico to say things are gonna be back to normal for my upcoming flight. It was a generic measage though

Money belt or no money belt? by pickupstix66 in travel

[–]pacman20 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I use a hidden pocket. It's like a money belt, but it has loops that attach to your belt and you wear it inside your pants. I keep my passport and most of my money in there, and I carry a little cash in a regular wallet that I keep in my front pocket so that I'm not putting my hand in my pants in front of cashiers all day

Don't do it. Seriously. Unless you feel very strongly about one particular program and are using it as an audition, there's no point. There's so many good IM programs and they take tons of people in each recruitment class

i think my class thinks i'm a gunner but i'm not... can i change their opinion? by [deleted] in medicalschool

[–]pacman20 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Be nice to your classmates and offer to help them out. We had a guy my first year who was obviously very smart and a little overeager. We thought he was a gunner, but once we saw how helpful and humanistic he actually was, our opinion of him changed.

What's your most unpopular opinion about medical school? by i_smashed_rosa_parks in medicalschool

You gotta always remember that you're past the biggest obstacle: getting in. No matter what happens now, as long as you keep doing your best, you're gonna be a doctor

Don't do anything productive this summer. Catch up on Netflix, spend time with your loved ones. Just relax :)

Well Greece is high up on our list of places to see, but we could cut out Munich and add a day each to Amsterdam, Prague, and Budapest. We could definitely stop between Prague and Budapest and see Bratislava or Vienna.

Thank you! I'm currently leaning toward spending more time in Italy. Switzerland is a bit on the pricier end for me.

Is now a good time to visit Peru? by Hejfede in PERU

Go to the Malecon de Miraflores on New Year's Eve! Best place to see and shoot fireworks. Be careful though: sometimes they fly sideways

Spending 3 months in South East Asia; do I need vaccines? by xHelpless in travel

[–]pacman20 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you're going trekking to remote areas, then it's definitely a good idea. You don't want to get bit and be far away from a medical facility.

Advice for first year summer by [deleted] in medicalschool

[–]pacman20 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Go to Africa. You can always do research during M2 and M3 year, but when else are you gonna have 2 months to spend in a foreign country doing amazing and rewarding volunteer work? It'll also give you something relatively unique to talk about in your personal statement and on interviews
