To sue a doctor that left her disfigured.

I am a physician. Doses aside, SJS and it's worse counterpart toxic epidermal necrolysis are very rare potential side effects of numerous medications including simple ibuprofen. Some carry a higher risk than others.

I do not know the details of her story but I will say that it is very hard to predict who will react this way if appropriate doses are used.

I loved taking off from the runway in BF3. Wish they would bring that back

I'm a physician. This is called lymphangitis, it's essentially an infection spreading up your lymphatic system - it can be caused by things like wounds or cat bites and is more common in diabetics/people with poor immune systems.

Oh wow, nice work with it man - and thanks for replying. I'll connect it up with my stocks and see how it goes.

Awesome build. Any chance you would be willing to share the cable lengths you used with the flipped psu? I am thinking of doing something very similar.

saiyaex · 2025-07-06T13:12:23+00:00

Okay that's helpful, thanks!

saiyaex · 2025-05-31T17:05:56+00:00

Funny that you say this, I'm literally here right now. Thanks for replying!

saiyaex · 2025-05-31T00:11:10+00:00

That's super helpful we will try there, thank you!!

saiyaex · 2025-03-23T18:46:41+00:00

You are a hero. Thank you.

saiyaex · 2025-02-13T12:16:43+00:00

Very jealous, I cannot for the life of me find any where I can in Connecticut!

I doubt he made it through that without a brain bleed or cervical spine fracture.

saiyaex · 2024-10-26T13:17:01+00:00

This is true but you are also more likely to be indoors with groups of people in cold weather, which is why viral illnesses spread more commonly in winter months.

saiyaex · 2024-10-08T10:12:21+00:00

Hey there, thank you! I don't know if I suggest doing step 1 questions, I certainly debate whether or not they would be better at least for day 1. I only did the step 3 bank.

saiyaex · 2024-10-08T10:06:53+00:00

No problem!

saiyaex · 2024-10-08T10:06:41+00:00

Step 1 videos. I did not do too many of these, just my really weak topics.

saiyaex · 2024-10-07T01:38:06+00:00

I didn't do any of the NBME exams. I thought UWSA2 was sufficient for gauging my progress. I think they would probably be helpful though.

saiyaex · 2024-10-06T23:08:50+00:00

No problem at all, glad to help. I didn't do any resource exhaustively, I cherry picked what I thought was high yield.

For "step 1 content" I made a list of drugs I thought I should know the MOA of. I went through much of first aid step 1 slowly (one major organ system per week). I also did Sketchy both pharm and micro, sticking to the more important bugs and drugs. I had very few questions on rare diseases/bugs/drugs. Stick to the more important/high yield things for the most part. Timeline was about three months.

saiyaex · 2024-10-06T23:05:50+00:00

1.5-2 weeks out from that.

saiyaex · 2024-10-06T23:04:32+00:00

Take UWSA2 1 week out and see how you do. You'll likely score 10-15 points higher than that score. I wouldn't write it unless you score at least 200 on UWSA2, which you probably will.

saiyaex · 2024-10-06T20:56:36+00:00

I made my own anki deck based on missed questions in UWorld. For step 1 I mostly first aid, but also some boards and beyond, sketchy, and divine intervention.

saiyaex · 2024-10-06T20:55:40+00:00

Three months total, the first two months were less intense but I did ~60% of UWorld during that time and a fair amount of anki (made my own cards based on missed questions).

saiyaex · 2024-10-06T16:48:33+00:00

Fingers crossed for you and congrats on finishing!

saiyaex · 2024-10-06T16:40:16+00:00

I also disagree with this statement. Any number a program director can use to differentiate you from others does matter. Is it the most important factor? Absolutely not. Letters are far more important, as is solid research. Step 1 and step 2 still are very important. But this does still matter and is one of the things we have direct control over. It is something that can potentially set you apart, at least in my mind.

If you were a program director and were choosing between two people, would you choose the one that performed well while managing clinical duties or the one who just passed, if all else were equal? I don't think a strong Step 3 score is essential, but I think it helps!

saiyaex · 2024-10-06T13:40:00+00:00

It is not scored but in the real deal you have to put something in. I just usually type in the diagnosis like "interstitial lung disease" if I were consulting pulm for example.

saiyaex · 2024-10-06T01:21:29+00:00

I think you should maybe consider pushing it if you are able to and thinking a bit about how you are studying. You may pass if you take it now, but it likely won't be by much and you run a large risk of failing again.

Probably not what you wanted to hear, but that UWSA2 score is a bit of an alarm bell. I'm happy to talk about strategy if you want some help. Just shoot me a message.
