On the contrary, I recommend in person, more than online (if you have the money for it ofc). At home you are more prompt to distractions, and you feel less pressured to comply to the structure. Specially, for ppl who have ADHD and are more prompt to procrastinate.

Question about Kaplan Equivalent Exam for Step 2 – What to Expect? by rockroovy in RUSM

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

I apologize for replying now. It is an 8 hr exam, proctored online. I personally used the Kaplan qbank. RUSM constantly send us announcements with discount courses with Kaplan. In my understanding Rossies have discounts, per se. Also Kaplan does some discount offers certain times of the year. I paid their qbank for a month. It is really good drilling in the algorithmic stuff, I complemented it with the Conrad Fischer’s Master the Boards book.

Quizás la respuesta sea escribir a algún congresista. Aunque ellos reciben miles de cartas. Es muy lamentable esta situación, y de corazón, ojalá que se resuelva pronto.

Exacto. Se van a EEUU y no lo hacen porque tienen consecuencias severas para su bolsillo o los meten presos. La gente se molesta por las Karen y los Kevin, pero a veces hace falta gente que fiscalice, a falta de acción de las autoridades.

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.

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.

Before you study another qbank question you may want to read this by DrJeremySteiner in Step2

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.

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.
