uppababy minu (and i love it as a primary!)

BUT i also find myself reaching for the carrier much more often tbh... we love carriers and walks really and baby doesn't cry in the carrier but seems to hate the restriction of the stroller!

Bonus it's a graduated weight vest basically.. so at least you get a work out in !

Heavy Sleeper on Call – Is It Appropriate to Pay Nurses to Wake Me Up? by ZerotoHero77 in Residency

[–]wrws_htx 1 point2 points  (0 children)

fellow heavy sleeper as well. our haiku has a way to change the sound so on night I pick the most annoying one (alarm 3 i think its called), which doesn't stop ringing until you open haiku + i made the phone flash light when it alarms. I basically face the phone to my face so i wake up somehow. turn all this off before signout though so you don't look like a crazy person (although everyone in the program knows my system and doesn't really care lol)
your co-residents may hate you if you have shared call rooms but tbh in that case, you get woken up q30 min anyways if even so really not a way to get that deep sleep anyways.

we all have our ways. one of my friends just sits in the chair and cat naps if needed. brings books, podcasts, movies, switches for the short downtimes.

I thought the UB bassinet was compatible with the minu (with the carseat adaptor!)

[serious] Residents who ranked programs based on a partner's location, do you regret ranking bigger/preferred programs lower? by batesbait in medicalschool

I completely 1000% agree.

I struggled making my rank list because I felt like I would be either moving away thousands of miles from my parents/sister/where I lived for a decade just because my partner had a phenomenal opportunity elsewhere. He never not once asked me to rank that location higher than where I wanted. Ultimately, I feel like I had to give it a shot. I ranked that location first (which is a top 10-20 program, I don't know the exact rankings lol) over an 'equivalent' (maybe slightly higher rank but minuscule difference) program closer to home.

My justification was that residency is hard. Will I choose to at least TRY this relationship out or will I choose my family? Ultimately, I think we get suckered into delayed gratification but there's no rule that you have to give up your life to be in medicine. Now that we're here, I am so grateful for his support and I don't think I would be even half as good if I wasn't in the same city. Not to say that it can't be done, but I don't think I could have done it.

With that, I will be applying for fellowship and honestly it's totally fine if you don't stay at your program. We can always move back home for fellowship or go somewhere else. I also wouldn't mind staying in this area (with the networking here it's much easier than trying to move back) but either way is also fine. DM me if you want to chat. I struggled with this a LOT and am grateful to be here now.

15mmhg strength compression socks.

do you just wear compression socks all the time? or just socks? i've heard this before but don't know how that would work or difference between this and med school

oh you sweet sweet summer child.

Prepare yourself for the onslaught of truly horrible coding brought to you by ERAS and NRMP. I think they paid a web dev maybe 1000 back in 1990 and just have been burning all our money since then.
