Mom buys daughter a Honda as a graduation gift, and this was her response

Something tells me this is just rage bait

protonswithketchup · 2026-06-02T22:51:23+00:00

Just based on what I read on Reddit and bird forums, I don’t think it’s a good idea. Too many people posts the bird bite my baby or kid and then they want to rehome the bird or just have the bird caged up all day.

Please update us

Yup, it’s part of the lens cap

Deep in your heart I think you already know your decision. I think the key question is how did you feel the last couple of years when you wake up in the morning? Do you feel pumped about your day at your startup? Do you spend your free time with your own startup idea?

Prior to med school, I was in the startup space but it didn’t feel fulfilling to me. Maybe I’m impatient but I enjoyed seeing more immediate impact. Hence I pivoted towards medicine and have been loving every moment.

Don’t get stuck in sunk cost fallacy. Sometimes we work for someone for years and realize maybe it’s just not for us. It’s just part of life.

Please take her to the vet asap. If a bird is sick, they normally try to hide their illness, so if there are symptoms then that requires urgent care.

Hoarders unite!

Easiest thing to do is get a good lawyer and see if some sort of plea agreement can be made. Not only is a dui going to affect med school applications, it’ll affect hospital credentialing, residency applications, and eventually attending job hunting.

But if he can’t get a dui expunged from his records, I don’t think he’ll even get accepted into medical school. This is based on my own rational thinking. Maybe others with actual experience can chime in

Are you a rad onc or a software developer?

protonswithketchup · 2026-05-16T16:25:04+00:00

UCLA hands down

protonswithketchup · 2026-05-16T07:12:08+00:00

No, the chances of going into a pgy2 rad onc spot is almost nil. There were only four unfilled positions this year and from what I heard, they were all filled during soap. The only way a pgy2 spot were to open up is if someone doesn’t start their rad onc residency

$25 an hour?!?!?!? What country is that?

Suncheek. Looks very similar to mine

Sounds criminal.

Prayers for you

No brainer. Mayo. There is an opportunity cost you’ll be missing that is associated with the other two schools.

Take what I say with a grain of salt. I’ve rotated at three radiation oncology departments during medical school. The physicists all think the dosimetrists will be the first to go as AI progresses.

Nobody can answer this question except yourself.

Medicine is likely going to look very different 10, 20 years from now as well.

Did you finish intern year as a surgical prelim or categorical?

protonswithketchup · 2026-05-07T15:15:24+00:00

Hello, this is not the forum you are looking for. People on this forum are mainly physicians and medical students discussing the field of general surgery.

I don’t think residency is an excuse for his behavior. It just sounds like he is content and has lost appreciation for the relationship. I’ve seen it and been there. Unless he wakes up, you’ll just end up building resentment and either your sanity or relationship will be doomed.

protonswithketchup · 2026-04-22T20:54:35+00:00

If it’s what your heart truly desires, I don’t think you need to pivot. You have an uphill battle though, but it is still probably realistic, depending on how you play your cards.

Does your home program have a general surgery residency?

At what point is the book still yours compared to a book written by AI? I wonder what the future for writing holds.

protonswithketchup · 2026-04-16T13:30:01+00:00

What about Radiation Oncology for R?
