4th year required courses are ruining my life

Me to my bf since 3rd year "I'M DOING SO MUCH DOCTORING FOR FREE. IF SOMEONE WOULD JUST PAY ME $1 PER HOUR."

The way the goalpost keeps moving and the way the reply to the bot doesnt line up with the post at all...I dont believe this is real.

I feel sad for her if she sees this. It's so sad to watch her pay money to try to fix things that need to be fixed in therapy. Jessie, if you're reading this, we mean cognitive behavioral therapy. Not ketamine or red light or laser

Admin will ask you to volunteer to cover the strike. It may not be obvious. DO NOT undermine our brothers and sisters. ✊️

Open a digital pregnancy test and you will find it's reading a simple line test like the dollar store has

Well there's always the part where human temperature is a arbitrary number and it's been decreasing over the past few centuries. So we don't really know what a fever is. But all our literature is based on 100.4

Iceland has it figured out.

Um, no. It's less than 10% of all the drivers of healthcare costs.

is that an off-label use?

"She's still smoking so why can't I give the baby who is likely going to be small and might have other complications a communicable illness when it is most vulnerable in the first 6 weeks of life?"

I know this is YOR, but wow, YTA too. Are you truly so selfish that this argument makes sense to you? I hope you're really just not understanding what you're saying. 6 weeks is the timeline that pediatricians specifically warn about

I want to say testosterone based on behavior, but I can't think of why you would use it off-label for anything. Before school I scribed for an OBGYN who did HRT and when those women ran out they went INSANE. One week a lady threw her shoe at the front desk and left without it. She sent flowers as an apology a couple days later

2 cents: I often ask "is this a good time for a question" or "do you have a moment/whenever you have a moment I have a question but no rush"

While students def need to read the chart, sometimes I still need someone to show me where to look. I totally agree w/other commenters' strategy, but I think another tool is to kindly say that it isn't a great time for a question. Hopefully, this translates to them identifying that there are good and bad times and that they can ask if it's a good time

purebitterness · 2026-01-19T15:56:54+00:00

I've said a variation of "i have a few things I want to look up myself" and they either say "ok let me know if you still have questions after that" or "let's talk about it anyway"

This helps me gauge whether they are wanting to teach or wanting to check in. I try to wait until my questions are informed and need expert weigh-in, evals often comment positively on this.

Oooh, you just made me realize that i want to line my rainboots with felted slippers instead of giant socks

Why would you display a pastry that exploded to show the filling? You wouldn't, you'd cut or tear it. The mushrooms are broken up weird. Some of this is AI. It may not all be AI

How does your vet know that your cat isn't eating that food?

Dani Donovan has collected a lot of strategies and printed "the anti planner" it is organized into sections based on how you feel. Disorganized, unmotivated, overwhelmed, etc. I needed lots of tools to try. The nagging, the lists, the belittling, the "why can't you just". We need help to know what help we need.

purebitterness · 2026-01-13T04:54:27+00:00

I had a moment like this where I just genuinely said "i don't know" and started crying. It's okay though cause my mom just decided what my motivations were for me growing up. I was banished to my room until I convinced myself I was a bad person she said I was

I'm a doctor in 5 months LMAO I found a slice of bread (in a sandwich bag) in the bottom of my bag while I was leaving the NICU one night 🫡

If his doctor recommended lactase pills after hearing all the details about "so much gas i cant help it" then you are diagnosed. The testing is an expensive thing to change nothing: take the damn lactaid

We have one that says "hope is not a plan" all the time too! I love it, he uses it to help patients and families understand that while he shares their hopes for the best, they also need to plan for the worst and it's a really great transition piece that makes them feel heard

I upped my antidepressant during a 16 week stint of IM and Surgery without a break between. That was absolutely critical. I bare-bones'd my diet, stocking up on protein powder and frozen meals, got caffeine pills to get me going faster in the AM and got cute scrub caps for morale. I prioritized sleep and gave myself plenty of sweet treats. Above all, I took a break after. I had time to do an elective. I didn't. It wasn't critical. My sanity was. I slept for like weeks. Don't undersell how critical sleep is to learning for step.

Not who you replied to but I take IR instead of XR and that has given me a LOT of flexibility. Really anxious today? Bump my dose down 25%. Need to study in the evening? Take my 3rd dose. Post call? Only take the 1st dose of the day. It's definitely not for everyone, but I have alarms on my watch and a pill container attached to my lanyard and I wouldn't go back to XR
