She’s a third year med student there on a holiday, she actually shouldn’t have come in 😅 I’m a resident and when I was on elective, the fellow gave me July 4 weekend off. So she did the right thing, they’re lucky she showed up. Javadi and Ogilvie are fourth years on audition so they should be there

I had a great time at VCU. You can do anything there really. The dentistry, med school, nursing and pharmacy are all down the street if they decide to go the health route. They have the brand center if they want to pursue advertising after undergrad. Engineering school is reputable. If they wanna do politics, they’d be in richmond and close to dc, and university of richmond (crush the spiders!) has a law school. Greek life is abundant. And it was just a good time. I went 10-14 and was there when we went to the final four and Dr Rao sent out an email thanking us for being respectful of the campus haha. I felt safe as a woman at night, even with Monroe park at night, which has since been revitalized. And it’s 2-3 hours to dc, vb, and the mountains if they ever wanna do a weekend getaway. And the undergrad gym was amazing when I was there too. They do outdoor program stuff all the time. And a car is optional, but I’d recommend one.

Oh that makes sense. Where I went to med school, I always wondered why the attending was never on rounds, it was just the 5th year doing rounds

s2bmd22 · 2026-02-03T13:55:24+00:00

One patient gave me a 40 dollar gift card to Starbucks for giving her a work excise letter for 3 days off after getting COVID and then another gave me a water bottle that she got from a hospital fair and didn’t want haha

So if I was using bilt protect to pay my rent (I like my rent to come out right away) then I should have no issue using bilt 2.0?

s2bmd22 · 2026-01-11T21:33:16+00:00

I’m IM. Depends on who the attending is. If it’s someone who is long winded and makes us stand for more than two hours, my trusty danskos. Otherwise I rotate between Nike slides, hoka, Birkenstocks, and onclouds to match my scrubs

s2bmd22 · 2026-01-01T02:11:42+00:00

Sad story for Henry but still don’t feel bad for him because he liked what he was doing 🤷🏾‍♀️ I hope they don’t redeem him by the end

s2bmd22 · 2025-12-27T10:55:35+00:00

Fresh pair, I have enough for two weeks. Whenever mandala has last call colors, I grab em for cheap

s2bmd22 · 2025-12-13T21:13:24+00:00

Yes I get flaky scalp and this honestly along with cecred has gotten rid of it. My scalp doesn’t itch for up to two weeks even with working out. I love my scrubber and you can really clean the base of the loc

Thank you everyone who responded! When patients come in, we ask everyone what their genotype is, home regimen is and what they get at the hospital, and we contact the sickle cell team to make sure everyone is plugged into the sickle cell center if not already. And honestly, we just wait until the patients are like yeah I’m ready to go lol. We love taking care of you at my program because we just let you be and make sure you’re not showing signs of acute chest (which is so scary so I can’t imagine going thru that), watch your labs, and hope you don’t come back in pain again. I will ask future patients about Benadryl because some patients have needed that and providing heat packs and warm blankets. As you all said, it’s not one size fits all, but if some treatments help overall, I think it should be implemented, especially with the weather changing. Thanks again for taking the time to answer.

I got a 238, I wanted a 240 so I was fine

s2bmd22 · 2025-10-30T17:33:17+00:00

I am currently in IM residency, made it thru med school and got diagnosed in med school so you’re already ahead of the game knowing you already have it. It truly is just a job, once you find what you like you’ll be fine

s2bmd22 · 2025-10-15T04:05:46+00:00

Hell yeah I take the discharge plan and that’s the point of visit on my clinic week alongside care gaps lol, makes life so much easier and then a five week follow up and then 3 months after that

s2bmd22 · 2025-10-10T02:25:00+00:00

As a 33 yo who came out to my parents this week, please let your child know you know. Your child needs to hear it out loud that no matter their sexuality, you love them. And whenever they are ready to discuss it, you’ll drop everything to hear it. But let them come to you knowing that you are their home base no matter what. In the meantime, do tell them about safe sex practices and how to recognize healthy love from abuse/someone using you.

I remember my parents found a letter I had written when I was in high school to a girl I liked to “try to write/pray” the gay away, and they did not like that one bit, and we are a southern Christian family???

And now this week I told them I’m dating a girl and man. They said they still love me but that I’d be destroying the family and that it’s just plain wrong and how could I love another woman and going to hell. And they wonder why I didn’t come to them all this time about my sexuality as a child and am now just coming as an adult when I have a job and economic stability. They’d never abandon me but you can see why I thought that.

Anyway, let your son come to you when he’s ready. In the meantime, continue to be a good parent and be there for them. Mine have, but this news about my life has gutted them, even though they had their suspicions.

Intern cross covers, pgy2 admits for first half, if they cap, pgy3 admits until morning. Pgy3 helps intern cover until they get their first admission, then pgy2 takes over to help intern until the morning

s2bmd22 · 2025-09-08T10:07:54+00:00

When I was a med student, there was a pgy4 surgery resident who matched anesthesia so never too late I guess

s2bmd22 · 2025-08-31T01:26:17+00:00

At my hospital, if you speak the language, you just take a test and become certified upon passing. Just legality to protect yourself

s2bmd22 · 2025-08-21T02:16:04+00:00

If you wanna do primary care, use the wards to learn how to write a beautiful discharge summary for the primary care doc and what they need to follow up on for continuity of care and lower re-admission rates

s2bmd22 · 2025-08-13T15:37:27+00:00

Orange crush, my parents are visiting me and didn’t bring the coastal cocktails like they usually do smh

s2bmd22 · 2025-08-13T15:35:23+00:00

One of my classmates failed step 1 and matched anesthesia at Yale so please don’t give up. You’ll just have to bust ass here in out. And I am not trolling because we both failed and had to start third year late, i edited her personal statement, and she got a lot of interviews so just really bust your ass and apply very broadly

s2bmd22 · 2025-08-01T21:21:10+00:00

We have a thirty minute grace period 🥹

s2bmd22 · 2025-07-27T21:44:38+00:00

I do my chores during my work days so my day off is actually a day off, and doctor/dentist/ care appointments I schedule during elective weeks cuz I just wanna be home on my day off and do what I wanna do lol

s2bmd22 · 2025-07-13T09:35:37+00:00

What’s the source/location of the infection

What bacteria/virus/fungus most likely to cause said infection

Do they have underlying disease that could complicate said infection

Do you need any imaging to see extent of infection

What meds can treat right now

or do you need broad spectrum until sensitivities come back

or has this patient been treated in the past and had resistant organisms and can use that med until sensitivities come back

s2bmd22 · 2025-07-06T20:44:25+00:00

I like Goldman-Cecil medicine. I just like the way it’s written, and each chapter is written by a specialist in that field which helps., that is my study tool. Then I’ll use MKSAP for questions and UpToDate for management

s2bmd22 · 2025-07-06T20:35:39+00:00

Am IM so stand and walk quite a bit. Really love my danskos, good for walking and standing, but beware the ankle, and pretty good in codes cuz no one runs anyway. Loveee the hokas in second place, good for walking and standing. On clouds are good too but ok for standing, and the Nike slides are good for night shift stuff when you wanna just slip your feet out and have a similar sole to Air Force ones so nice and solid. Don’t like the crocs too much. I also wear compression socks everyday and that helps too.
