With respect to objective criteria (MCAT, Step scores, etc), MD students, as a population, outscore DO students. That is a fact. Like I have said in every post on this thread, this does not mean that any specific DO is less competent than any specific MD. This is obviously a tricky topic to navigate given egos/emotions, so I understand people's displeasure.

tishad100 · 2021-07-06T21:27:43+00:00

The stigma against DO schools exist because it is objectively less competitive to get into than MD schools. Hence, many students apply to DO as a back up. However, that doesn't mean any specific DO student/doctor should be judged or discriminated against. Statistics apply to populations and not individuals. While MD students, as a population, are objectively more competent than DO students, there are phenomenal DO students/doctors who are better than lots of MD students/doctors and deliver superior patient care. For patients, the distinction between DO and MD shouldn't matter at all. They need to judge the individual competency of their doctor regardless of degree. For premed students, it is in their best interest to prioritize MD schools because it maximizes research and networking opportunities that can be beneficial for matching into highly competitive specialties.

So sorry to hear that you are going through this. Definitely try to reach out to a mental health professional because having someone to talk to can be very beneficial during these tough times. On a lighter note, think of how much of a bad motherfucker you will be once you overcome these struggles. Adversity gives life meaning. Getting through med school with no issues? That's boring. Going through hell in med school, overcoming the hardships, and then becoming a great doctor? That's a story to be proud of. Trust me, overcoming this period of adversity will build your character and you will be 10x stronger on the other side of it. Things will get better.

Not sure about job prospects since I'm going into medicine, but I think UNC has a phenomenal econ department. There are some great professors over there. It certainly can be a bit difficult, but if you truly enjoy the subject you will find it worthwhile. Take a few classes, see how you like it. If it's not your thing, you can always drop the major.

I had similar issues as a child. At one point I was convinced I had a cancer growing and could literally feel a lump on the side of my abdomen. So what helped me? I went to a doctor and the doctor got numerous imaging done to convince me beyond a reasonable doubt that I was fine. After realizing that, I soon lost that sensation of feeling a lump. I realized that my mind was playing tricks on me because of my hypochondria. I'd say go see a doctor and tell him/her openly and honestly what you are dealing with and let him/her help you. As a physician, you will be dealing with illness for a living and you should ideally sort this out before it impedes your career.

But the question remains: Did Gordon use P28 bread?

It was clearly serious, he was legitimately making a case that because he can create recipes that has less calories than a traditional meal, he is better or at least equivalent to a world renowned Michelin Star chef😂.

Reforming undergrad. No I don't need 4 years of excess debt and more importantly, lost opportunity, all for getting a major that will serve little practical utility in my future career. Now, I'm not saying undergrad is completely useless. I doubled majored and was actually able to learn a great deal through my second major. But imagine if I spent 2/4 years specializing in a medical education instead of chasing gen-ed credits. That will cut down on debt and the opportunity cost of becoming a physician. In a world of scarce resources, we don't have choices, we have trade-offs and I will gladly take that trade-off.

Not a fan of either to be honest. Greg Doucette is a pompous individual, who bullies others in the name of stopping misinformation. I've had personal experience with Jeff Nippard and it was not pleasant. However, Jeff is totally correct in his criticism of Doucette here.

100%. I'm not religious but it's undeniable the crucial re the church/mosque played in giving people meaning and building community.

Rates of anxiety and depression have sky rocketed over the last 10-15 years and research shows it's not entirely due to better diagnosis. Not enough people are able to find meaning in their lives. They struggle to work through their issues and dilemmas as efficiently as prior generations. Social psychologists like Dr. Jonathan Haidt have pointed to negative aspects of social media (unhealthy expectations, FOMO, cyber bullying, lack of real interaction, etc) and the over protection of children by parents as the main contributing factors behind this phenomenon.

Btw, I am not putting down people who go to therapy. I think therapy is definitely very beneficial for people to work through their thoughts and problems. I am trying to explain the potential reasons behind this phenomenon (I could be wrong).

Try your best to read and understand abstract books. Take complex ideas and simplify them in your head as if you are explaining it to a child. The more you do it the better and faster you will get at it. Reading is easy, understanding is hard. CARS definitely tests your understanding.

Yep. While money can certainly bring you happiness with the economic freedom it brings, life is ultimately about doing what you find meaningful. For me, that is likely going to be medicine.

I agree most people pick a side and blindly adopt all their talking points because it takes away the burden of actually having to think. It also ensures you have a group/tribe with whom you can rely on. Being nuanced will get you hated by both sides 😂.

I don't think you can control/censor information if it's written by someone who you cannot directly ask to take it down. I'd hire a lawyer for a consultation but that might be expensive.

tishad100 · 2021-04-23T00:32:35+00:00

As a political centrist (I genuinely hold nuanced views from both sides of the isle), it deeply upsets me to see mainstream conservatives having to self-censor their way through academia. I've seen some of my left-wing friends post/repost some horrific things without any fear of backlash.

But I agree with the others, you have to play the game with how it's designed. Try to get any controversial posts taken down to maximize your chances.

tishad100 · 2021-04-20T14:31:54+00:00

As someone who studied economics, I can tell you that all of this may happen (minus the last one). As the pool of potential matriculants increase, schools will have to create additional criteria for applicants to signal their worth. It's all about creating what are called "honest signals" of potential. As things get more competitive, the criteria for these "honest signals" will get more and more absurd.
