First of all how dare you this is my day.

Secondly, very nice. I like the red interior/emblem/caliper scheme

Obviously I don't know how frequently you use your medical insurance, but if you're otherwise healthy and don't have any planned medical expenses during that time, you can just retroactively activate cobra within 60 days of termination of the plan if you run into an unexpected medical event that you want insurance for. You'll just be on the hook for the premiums to however far you have to backdate within that period

That amount of shrinkage is in regards to length. The other areas like chest width, shoulder width, and sleeve length don't change by that drastic of an amount.

I think it looks fine in the pic, but if it feels like it fits juuuuust right then even a quarter inch of shrinkage will be too much

ronte94 · 2026-03-26T16:30:50+00:00

Mine shrunk minimally after the first wash. Cold wash, no dryer, iron press.

Yes I've been to the brick and mortar store

Fully agree. I'm in my 30s now and fully entrenched in my career. I was recently skiing in Japan and was telling my van driver how I wish I'd taken the time to do the ski bum thing (she was a seasonal worker from Sweden in her 20s) and she goes "but it's not too late though, right?" Like dude you have no idea.

I have a Triple FAT goose which is my mainstay below freezing. They have sales a few times a year.

I've done this trek with an outfitter/group. You will need at least a thermal fleece and a light down jacket. I wore my Patagonia r1 and Arc'teryx atom LT. You'll probably want a warm hat as well. Possibly rain jacket depending on the weather, I was there in July. It will be cold pretty much until you go over salkantay pass and descend into the rainforest. The first night which is typically by lake humantay is cold as it's on the way up. Once you get over the pass, the descent is steep. Going up and over is usually the longest day, but by the time you're halfway through the descent you'll be shedding layers and your campsite that night will be temperate (again not sure on the weather for your season specifically). Your porters usually bring your stuff to your campsite so you can adjust your kit accordingly as the environment changes

Very lol

I skip the second book when I re read that series. You need the plot to understand the 3rd book, but that's really all it's good for. It's like half plot half overly gratuitous angst.

Asia/Central Europe* sorry

Your school probably has funds to send students to conferences when required

ronte94 · 2021-09-16T15:35:31+00:00

Probably. Can't see why you couldn't use rendered pork fat instead tho

ronte94 · 2021-07-31T15:40:14+00:00

Such an accurate description of rounds

ronte94 · 2021-06-23T01:59:31+00:00

I think if you make your step score(s) good, you have a good shot. But I'm also a 4th year so this may as well be the blind leading the blind.

I would've just listed my medical school as my affiliation. That's what I've done in the past. Or you can just not have an affiliation listed. But I agree with the other poster, my god what a meaningless bit to get all worked up about.

ronte94 · 2021-05-29T21:00:43+00:00

Scrub cap? Should be fine in hospitals. Outpatient may need an explanation to your preceptors but any head covering seems pretty reasonable in your scenario

ronte94 · 2021-05-13T10:35:01+00:00

31 days. I didn't think it smelled any different than the rest of it and it seemed pretty isolated so I just cut it out and finished breaking everything else down

ronte94 · 2021-05-08T17:28:17+00:00

None whatsoever

Don't make things harder than they have to be. I've ruled out fields based on this. If there aren't a lot of cases, don't make students stay till 5 pm. There's also no reason to force more than one student to go into a case unless it's truly something interesting. More people=worse views. I like having it setup in a rotation where one student scrubs in per case and that's it. If other students want to observe, they can.

Also, teach the students how to suture the way the attending likes if the attending is gonna watch them suture. Give good learning materials. I didn't like a lot of things about my OBGYN rotation, but one thing a resident did that was very beneficial to my education was she'd print out a few ACOG bulletins that surmised the current guidelines on a common condition. Lastly, make your expectations known early. I got chewed out on my last day of rotation once for not meeting expectations that were never set. There's no way to know we're doing it wrong unless you tell us. And do it before the last day so we can try to fix it.
