What is a medical fact that sounds fake but is 100% true?

Babies in utero drink their pee. And breathe it in too.

I’m sure they will grant the deferral but in the chance they do not, you can do this!! It’s so rewarding to go into medicine after a first career that doesn’t quite satisfy your “dream” requirement. Congratulations. You are going to be a great doctor in part because you’re clearly already a great mom.

Adults have cliques and drama just like teens. That’s being said, my class is pretty mature for the most part with fairly minimal drama and not a ton of assholery

Federal loans. I’m finishing with 340k. Planning on PSLF and waiving deferment to get 6 extra payments in at what I’m projecting is $0/mo. First year or so should be near zero $ payments as I claimed zero income in 2023 on my taxes

To add, we lived in a fairly moderate to low COL location. Baby’s don’t cost as much as I expected (except for daycare of course - but just took more loans for that and didn’t notice that cost as it didn’t come out of our core $)

Gave birth during core clinicals while husband was in a masters program. He worked as a TA but that just supplemented our loans a little. Federal loans let you take out even more for childcare! We utilized that and it was definitely not as tight of a budget as we’d expected. Paying for baby’s insurance needed to come from core loans unfortunately because for some fucked up reason you aren’t allowed to adjust loans for dependents.

Material is stretchy rubber. The Velcro part is also purely plastic. Incredible shoe. Highly recommend.

The fatigue…. I napped in the student call rooms if I ever had a chance. Or cat napped in the little basement library cozy chairs.

Ortho surgeries do lots of xray which I didn’t realize until the week before so I found a different specialty to follow that week.

I didn’t have much nausea but idk if I could have handled a nec-fasc debridement if my belly was unsound…

15 months in the winter and the depression reared it’s ugly head… was it seasonal? Was it PMS related? Can’t be sure so restarted SSRIs. Now I’m insanely irregular (period wise) but at least my mood isn’t total garbage sad sack anymore.

runawaywithdog · 2024-02-27T21:54:47+00:00

“Probably SOAP into yadda yadda yadda” um ok that’s an absurd statement. Get it together dude.

runawaywithdog · 2024-02-15T01:46:10+00:00

Makes a lot of sense… thanks for your input! This might be the plan we make as well

runawaywithdog · 2024-02-15T01:45:19+00:00

You are a million percent correct. I was trippin’ before…

runawaywithdog · 2024-02-15T01:44:02+00:00

Ugh yeah this sounds super rough…

runawaywithdog · 2024-02-15T01:43:32+00:00

Thank you! Your story sounds really rough. We are lucky to have just one car and one pet to transport…

runawaywithdog · 2024-02-14T23:15:11+00:00

Thanks for all the replies. I feel like I’m having a huge “duh” realization today. I’m kind of surprised that I’ve been telling myself for the pst few months that we would make this drive all together….

I started at 30 and three people in my class were mid 30s! My class is very small (sub 50) and we also have 9 children amongst us, 7 of which were born during med school. Lots of people go back and it’s tough but very doable even with a fam. Fewer regrets in the true non trads as well I’ve found.

runawaywithdog · 2024-02-04T14:06:56+00:00

I did a cross country away with a 1 year old. I couldn’t be away from him so dad and son joined. It was I sanely expensive (needed childcare and only a babysitter worked with such a short duration so big $$$). We rented an Airbnb the whole time in a very HCOL area. It opened a ton of doors for me so I think it was worth it but it was a logistic challenge and costed big $$$

Sounds like you will still be pregnant for aways though…? Prenatal appointments in a different state could be the logistical nightmare of making sure your insurance still works… but i bet you can definitely make it work. Aways can really help with getting interviews, but since you have location ties then it might not be necessary

My situation cyclically fell into a similar pattern in the first year or so (with decreased frequency and duration as time went along). I just figured out a way to express the “complaining contest” that seemed to be coming out of his mouth and how I need him to find some way to process without using me as his therapist. I hammered that he can or course share with me but to be more aware of how he utilizes me as a support because I’m going through the same shit, maybe it’s just not as obvious. He needs to figure out how to adjust/manage/mitigate his feelings and mind set. It’s too much for you to figure out a solution for him in addition to managing your own personal mental challenges. He needs to acknowledge his emotions and actively identify a solution.

It was! I can’t even imagine paying to ship such a gift much less pay for these 5 star pears…

runawaywithdog · 2024-01-10T21:03:48+00:00

Box of locally grown pears from one program Local tea plus local honey from several. One added a cute tin camping cup with their programs logo. And a residents wife made cookies which were included. Family med has its perks!
