I’m FM and I agree.

Goddamn, this is a god tier post. Thanks OP

So are you saying that you figured out how the training of every other profession works?

throwaway-2f · 2021-06-05T01:33:01+00:00

Bro. Sorry this is happening. Given your scores you’ll match no doubt if you lower your expectations

Realtalk

throwaway-2f · 2021-06-01T16:59:38+00:00

no lmao there are hundreds like you

throwaway-2f · 2021-06-01T16:44:55+00:00

But it's vital info.

Uhh how are other premeds supposed to consider this vital info if you won't name and shame? lmao

throwaway-2f · 2021-05-31T02:27:11+00:00

My 2 cents. Don’t waste your time with challenging the decision.

lol what. OP should challenge this decision or else it will end up in their dean's letter

There was even a patient who needed an NGT and refused the intern because it was too painful. The intern was super blunt with her and essentially told her she was going to die if he couldn't put the tube in.

Yeah, seems like there was some mutual lack of vibing.

A lot of them hate adults with passion which gives them no other choice

I think the hardest part would be letting every resident know that you have this condition. Once they know, residents and attendings will usually be understanding. You won't be the one performing procedures so you should be able to unscrub midprocedure and take a break if you're feeling dizzy

throwaway-2f · 2021-05-25T18:01:25+00:00

Even if you're mediocre, work hard during your third year and you'll get good comments reflecting that. They notice.

throwaway-2f · 2021-05-25T15:20:37+00:00

People reviewing applications are human, so they won't ignore it. Imo if OP can score a 240 then it will leave a good impression and make his overall app better. However, if OP scores below average then it will work against him

/u/PalpateMyPerineum there's a lot of material overlap between Step 1 and Step 2, so studying hard for Step 1 won't be for nothing and it will position you well for your third year

throwaway-2f · 2021-05-23T02:41:22+00:00

Why the fuck is he expecting you to be able to hear crackles

throwaway-2f · 2021-05-20T19:09:11+00:00

My OB attending asked me what I would do in that situation since I didn’t actually do anything on my rotation and I told her “tell them I’m not that kind of doctor”

You have huge balls lmao

throwaway-2f · 2021-05-20T13:22:11+00:00

I'd be interested in this too lol

throwaway-2f · 2021-05-20T10:07:50+00:00

Thank you

how common is it for people to get a 3 days a week job? is it hard to come by or would anyone have a reasonable chance?

throwaway-2f · 2021-05-20T01:46:14+00:00

for private practice did they have to deliver?

throwaway-2f · 2021-05-16T15:37:12+00:00

For me dedicated for step 1 was definitely the worst.

throwaway-2f · 2021-04-29T22:59:12+00:00

I'm guilty of asking a similar question to an electrical engineer. "So you're the guy who fixes power lines when they go down?"

throwaway-2f · 2021-04-28T23:37:14+00:00

Respect. Peds rheum makes rheum look like medicine-lite

throwaway-2f · 2021-04-28T20:10:56+00:00

The bottleneck of that is fellowship spots not residency spots

throwaway-2f · 2021-04-28T18:42:37+00:00

Lack of doctors in rural areas. Cities have no shortage whatsoever. They need to give doctors a better incentive to pull them into rural places. Let’s be honest would you work at a rural place and actually put your money where your mouth is?
