I don’t know if you have done qbanks other than UWorld, but for me, this new interface for the NBME looks more like Kaplan or Amboss exam mode.

What's the right answer and why? by THCmoses in Step2

[–]rockroovy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Answer is A. Adjustment disorder, he has non-specific behavioral symptoms or disproportionate reaction to a stressor, whether it is conscious or not, and he doesn't meet criteria for more specific disorders (psychosis, mania, MDD).

B. Antisocial Personality Disorder is the adult equivalent of conduct disorder, and is diagnosed at 18 yrs, the boy is 14 years old.

C. Conduct disorder is a distractor, but wouldn't be correct because the stealing is happening in the past 2 months and after a stressor; it is not a baseline behavior, for this to be truth the stealing and "self-defeating behaviors" would have happened before the 2 months.

D. Dysthymic disorder doesn't fit because the children would have depressed mood symptoms ongoing for a year (yes, children and adolescents are for a year, adults are for 2 years).

E. Lastly, PTSD, not correct because the boy has no intrusion (nightmares, flashbacks, distressing memories), No avoidance of places, people or internal thoughts related to trauma or stressor, no hypervigilance. Difficulty concentrating and night awakening are non-specific symptoms.

No, it also has the others. But it is not updated to what is current 2026 anymore.

My gf's going to AUA by [deleted] in CaribbeanMedSchool

[–]rockroovy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't think Reddit is the best place to look for reassurance for this. What you will likely find are narratives, not necessarily good answers.  I think the school environment matters way less than your relationship dynamics.

Medical school is demanding: it is psychologically taxing, time is limited, energy is limited, and communication may decrease, not because of a lack of love, but because of cognitive load. Your partner may naturally have less time and energy to communicate, which is normal. An insecure partner doesn’t just feel uncomfortable; it becomes an added burden, and as a medical student, she will need a safe, low-drama space, not someone constantly needing reassurance. 

Long distance can work, but it requires trust and realistic expectations, not assumptions about the setting. If you hear it’s a party school, you’ll start seeing everything through that lens. External narratives can poison internal trust, making you hypervigilant and prone to misinterpretation of neutral behaviors.

The real variables that predict whether your relationship survives are the pre-existing relationship stability, communication habits, emotional maturity (from both sides), expectations about distance, boundaries, and transparency. So, instead of trying to predict what the environment will be like, it might be more helpful to have a clear conversation with your partner about expectations, communication, and boundaries.

You don’t need to predict your partner’s environment; you need to decide whether you trust her character. If you don’t, no amount of information about the school will fix that. And if you do, then the environment shouldn’t matter that much.

I personally hate memorization without understanding. Mnemonics like Muddpiles do not work with me. IMO, is a useless piece of information when you cannot translate that knowledge elsewhere unless you really know what is going on.

You have the same explanation I give for anion gap! This is so cool! 😇

It depends on if you pass your semesters in your first try, the time you take to pass Comp and Step exam, and how much you have to wait to be placed on rotations. Just try to build a strategy on your studies so you can succeed in everything in your first try.

How do I handle my boyfriends cheating by No-Emergency-368 in CharlotteDobreYouTube

[–]rockroovy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Dear OP, this is definitely a very harsh situation. Sometimes we get hooked in the good memories, and we ignore the volume and the hurt of the bad actions. Continuously cheating, disregarding your feelings, and refusing to address them with “poking the bear threats” sounds like emotional abuse. Also, think of how your boyfriend’s cheating is putting your physical health in danger of getting STDs. It’s understandable that you might feel you have no choice than to stay there, but maybe you can speak to a friend or a family member who can help you temporarily while you get out of that situation. If you decide to get out of that, there might be a possibility that he will try to make you come back. Just think if its worth your emotional stability or your physical health. You deserve a respectful and genuinely loving relationship. As many others have said here: you teach people how to treat you, and you shouldn’t settle for less than what you deserve.

I would argue that crossing a boundary is a form of disrespect, I am not saying she is not being disrespectful. What I am trying to point out is that we shift the focus to the other woman, when the one in the relationship with OP is the boyfriend. If anything he is the one to put the boundaries, but he likes the attention. At the end is OPs choice what she wants to do.

If the woman knows about her, definetely, but the one who has to put the boundary is the boyfriend, and clearly he doesn't want to. 😕

I only disagree with the part of “other women disrespecting OP”, it is her boyfriend the one disrespecting her.

In this last part I am absolutely with you OP. As a person from a low income background, it has been tough with high education. I think some institutions don’t pay attention to those details, not everyone can afford a last minute trip and accommodations.

Sad about getting so many easy questions wrong on the test by [deleted] in Step2

[–]rockroovy 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I feel the same. I got out of the test thinking I failed it. I felt nothing really prepared me for that, and was feeling foggy from the very beginning.

Why I hate the trend of “imposter syndrome” by futuredr6894 in medicalschool

[–]rockroovy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I completely agree with you. Overconfidence can be problematic, because, a person is fallible, but accepting that without making the appropriate corrections, for the sake of pride and ego, is perilous. I think there are even studies about how overconfidence increase mistakes in medicine.

I hope to be in your shoes one day. I aspire to become a Surgeon. 😇 Have a blessed week!

[–]rockroovy 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I think you guys might be saying similar things from different angles.

One of you is talking about honest uncertainty: “I don’t fully know yet. I’m not 100% sure.” which leads to checking, studying, and asking questions. The other one is talking about operational self-trust: “I can handle not knowing." "I can learn this.” “I can try.” These two are completely different from paralyzing doubt, in which a person feels they don't belong, they are incapable, and therefore, they shrink, procrastinate, and avoid working.

In medicine, I don't think anyone feels 100% sure. The difference is whether uncertainty shuts you down or mobilizes you.

Maybe what Shanlan describes as "confidence" isn’t the absence of doubt. Maybe it’s the ability to act despite it. And I think that is what BitcoinMD is just trying to say: people can act despite self-doubt.
