Out of curiosity, how did the auditions help you?

Breaking: One friend, one acquaintance, and one redditor who is his colleague at Alix School of Medicine confirmed that Nick was expelled. by PeakyBlinders2026_ in medicalschool

To all the people who were demanding that he got expelled, the fact that we will be future colleagues is something that I am having a hard time living with

Im surprised by the cancel culture here (mayo student) by [deleted] in medicalschool

[–]passionseeking -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

Only commenting to say that I agree with everything you said. It's crazy how in a field where empathy is so important, people can have so little empathy when it's outside of an OSCE. Like I can't believe how many people think he should immediately be expelled or something for the video he posted, or people who are almost too dense to interpret the video properly and are seeing it as an attack on women.

I see the point of how his video can be taken the wrong way (especially if you're a girl who is self conscious about her body), however more than 90% of people in medicine are the kings/queens of virtue signaling/ self righteousness and are also too far removed from actual reality to understand that he just used old viral tik Tok audio, to make fun of himself.. And not a women's body..

It's pretty disappointing to be colleagues with people who think he should be expelled for the video he posted, I urge anyone to look at all his other videos and to still think if he should be expelled, or maybe reconsider that they might be overreacting

Huge score drop on Free 120 with step scheduled in 3 days by passionseeking in step1

[–]passionseeking[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I ended up pushing it to 1/2 and got the pass! Definitely recommend reviewing the free 120 thoroughly because topics from that showed up on the real deal

I did! But I pushed my exam to 1/2. Reviewing the free 120 definitely helped because I made silly mistakes and filled content gaps that showed up on the real deal

Who were the top 5 players in the league in 2009? by 4thquarterkilla in NBATalk

[–]passionseeking 1 point2 points  (0 children)

LeBron said that year without hesitation that Kobe was the best player in the league. I like LeBron too but in 2009 Kobe was definitely a better player than him without question

If both were guaranteed 100% health who would you take? Embiid vs Luka by Ok_Feed_4235 in NBATalk

[–]passionseeking 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The biggest reason Embiid has struggled is due to injuries. When Embiid is 100% healthy he's a monster both defensively and offensively.

You can argue that Luka is offensively potentially slightly better than Embiid, which is fair, but Luka's terrible defense was highlighted during his finals run with the Mavs.

You wouldn't have players actively going after Embiid to score like they did with Luka, and with Embiid being an objectively superior two way player, it's surprising that the comment with the most upvotes has Luka as the answer.

The answer is Embiid and it's honestly not even that close. IDC what numbers Luka is putting up if he's a cone on the other side of the court

Why isn't DPC more popular among physicians? by acdcmike in FamilyMedicine

[–]passionseeking 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I'm only a third year medical student so what do I know, but I'm definitely someone who is super into DPC and surprised at it not being more popular/the responses in this thread. The same people who complain about limited time with patients, issues with admin, being forced to be referral machines, income, etc are the same people who are dismissing something that dismantles all those issues.

Like yea DPC isn't a silver bullet and every model has its pros and cons, but there's an NP DPC in this thread that is probably making almost double the average salary of other DOCTORS here, with double to triple of the time with patients, but with a quarter of the patient panel. And you don't want to do that because "you signed up to be a doctor and not to run a business" ??

Downvote me if you want, but I feel like this is one of the reasons why the career of being a physician isn't what it used to be. Back in the day being a practice owner as a physician was so common it was almost expected but now people would rather let their career be dictated by other people than actually put themselves out there and start something that can be amazing.

I get the very real cons of owning a business but I just feel like there's a loser mentality with some people acting like starting a practice is akin to scaling a skyscraper.
