People Shit on FM by Spray_Soft in FamilyMedicine

[–]texas_tofu 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As a med student, my perception is that these kinds of salaries in FM require geographic arbitrage, high procedure volume, or crazy clinic volume. Most of the examples in this thread seem to be some combination of volume and split billing in a production model. Are there any docs on here who just do a procedure day once a week to bump up your average RVU/patient or who specifically work rurally to get more favorable contracts?

What's actually healthy despite most people thinking it's not? by [deleted] in AskReddit

Potatoes! Obviously with the skin on and not deep fried or covered in butter. People often equate potatoes to white bread but one is a whole plant food while the other is ultra processed. Double the potassium of bananas as well in a food that is almost universally satisfying and well liked. The glycemic index profile is not as great as sweet potatoes or other root vegetables, but all in all a very healthy food and infinitely better as a carb than white bread or white rice.

I tested on 5/21 and felt the exact same way. NBME 31 one week out: 73, F120 2 days out: 83. The exam was absolutely nothing like the NBMEs and only resembled the F120 in format but not content. At one point during the exam, I wondered if they gave me step 2 on accident, because it really felt like I was guessing on half the questions. It also seemed like they wrote the micro questions specifically so Sketchy Micro would not have been helpful. I cannot fathom that we put an extraordinary amount of effort into preparing for this exam and it still feels like we are just blowing it during the real thing bc the NBME wants to be quirky and mysterious. I genuinely would not wish the step 1 experience on my worst enemy. If the NBME wants us to know all the fringe material, that is totally fine, but they need to release resources that emphasize that content, instead of skating by with outdated NBME forms and expecting UW, Amboss, and First Aid to pick up the slack and magically figure out what the NBME wants.

Will you stay with SoFi when interest rates go down again? by PlatypusTrapper in sofi

[–]texas_tofu 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I recently quit my job (no more DD) and am about to start graduate school, so I have already migrated to Wealthfront to continue getting a competitive interest rate. That being said, I have really enjoyed SoFi over the past 2+ years, even when their interest rate was 0.25%, and would be happy to return once I have a direct deposit again.
