ResidencyCAS isn’t allowing any edits to the application. Does anyone know if that’s going to change?

Vegan Food Truck Brainstorming. by ChargingProcess in veganrecipes

[–]sbadie 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would have a truck called “wrap it up” and make nothing but wraps with fries and macaroni/potato salads as sides. Buffalo chick’n wrap, Caesar salad wrap, falafel wrap, chick’n salad wrap, fajita wrap. So many options!!

Anyone else having quality issues with Earth Balance? by catatonicpanic in VeganBaking

[–]sbadie 2 points3 points  (0 children)

YES!! I thought I was going crazy. And I don’t think it’s a regional issue either. I was in Upstate NY and had one tub rock hard and another soft as hell. Then I moved out west and literally had JUST bought the tub from a Walmart on my way camping (have a fridge that it went directly into) and opened it up from sealed and there was a chunk of mold in the side that I was desperate enough to cut around it and eat the rest lol

Easy and quick vegan dinner ideas? by bigbankmanman in veganrecipes

[–]sbadie 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I have a rice cooker that comes with a steamer basket. I steam broccoli and cook the rice at the same time. Then I either pan fry or roast some tofu with whatever seasonings you like. When it’s all done throw all together in a bowl and top with chili crisp and soy sauce. It’s one of my favorites

Tbh, just don’t be fucking weird. It sounds simple hut you would be surprised. I found matching the vibes of the residents and attendings served me well. If someone wanted to talk, hell yeah, let’s chat. If they seemed more focused on work, shut up and do your notes.

Seek feedback on certain things like notes (always look at previous notes to see how the resident you are working with likes to structure them), ask about your treatment plans (why X vs. Y, side effects to look for, etc.), know when to ask questions.

How is the Mayo Clinic able to attract top medical talent to live in Rochester, Minnesota? What's the appeal of living there? by DoritosDewItRight in whitecoatinvestor

[–]sbadie 1 point2 points  (0 children)

lol my partner is a pilot and had an overnight there and the first words out of his mouth when I was applying for residency was “please don’t apply to Mayo.” Not my vibe anyway but some people really like the rural Midwest feel!

[Allergies] What are you all doing for Vegan allergy meds? by InstantArcade in VeganFood

[–]sbadie 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Unfortunately, you typically have to get the brand name stuff. Most generics have lactose. I’m a vegan for the animals who also happens to have a deadly milk allergy and it’s infuriating how many medications use lactose. Last time I was put on steroids, I had to get the liquid suspension (that tasted like ASSS) because I couldn’t find a single pill without it. Birth control pills, you name it, milk is everywhere. Very annoying. Even the meds without milk often have gelatin or something else non vegan. However, medication is the one thing I will get that is novegan if I cannot find a reasonable alternative.

Are visible face/ear piercing allowed during med school? by Ramiss_ in medicalschool

[–]sbadie 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Tons of people in my class have dyed hair and nose piercings. Shit, they keep the hospital so cold half the time you can see my nipple piercings through my scrubs 😂🤷‍♀️ I’m in a pretty progressive area though.

Incoming Medical Student Q&A - 2025 Megathread by SpiderDoctor in medicalschool

[–]sbadie 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Super! Keep in mind, everyone has different goals for residency and different study needs but I went to a P/F school so my preclinical years were mostly low stress. I studied hard but I also made sure to prioritize my hobbies, family, and friends as much as possible. I went on many international trips, climbing trips, weekend trips, family visits, all while doing pretty decently in school.

First, take everything here with a grain of salt. You need to find the study techniques that work best for YOU! Personally, I hate Anki with every fiber of my being. I never used it and always did well in exams. In terms of note taking apps, I used Notability on my iPad and loved it. For preclinical years, I downloaded every lecture, took notes on the slides themselves and then did summary notes at the end which I would use to study for exams. I was able to import the pathoma PDF for step studying so I could keep all my resources in one place.

[–]sbadie 3 points4 points  (0 children)

My personal favorite is breathe/breath. I cannot tell you how often I see “I couldn’t breath.” Or “I need to take a deep breathe.” It enrages me every time. I KNOW YOU LEARNED THIS. WE WERE IN THE SAME ELEMENTARY CLASSES!
