I got into med school. I'm gonna be a doctor 😭

RFK's version of science: come to a conclusion, backfill the reasoning, and kill future studies not in line with his beliefs. There are no new studies to support this thoroughly debunked lie and NIH-funded autism research is down 26% this year.

Last night was somehow even better than the pierogi incident.

Some people are too young to remember the last AI Winter and it shows

Med school interview with my top choice school in three weeks ><

I'm now the primary author for WikiEM's nitrous oxide toxicity page 😵‍💫 about half done with my edits for it, tox doc at work gave me some great suggestions.

Really glad to see Republicans take the doctor shortage seriously by uh... capping the amount of federal loans med students can take out to a level below what the average med student takes out.

Ironic that the same professors complaining about AI cheating are using chatGPT to generate letters of recommendation.

I'm in my 30s, why am I still having nightmares about cramming for organic chemistry?

I hope I can just bury myself in medicine for the next few years but mentally preparing to spend the rest of my career trying to convince people to get vaccinated after HHS publishes a horrifically unscientific paper that links vaccines and autism, despite this being heavily studied and disproven.

Saw a Hampton hump in the wild a few days ago. Rare radiology marker that can sometimes be visible in patients with a pulmonary embolism.

Ghost: oOoOoO Me: Whoa, a ghost! Grandma? Did you come back to tell me something important? Ghost: After the last time our government passed big tariffs, I spent a decade eating dandelion salad and wrapping Christmas gifts with newspaper.

I can tell a patient is autistic because you ask what their pain is from 1-10 while they're in excruciating pain from kidney stones and they're like "this is entirely subjective, how would I even know what a 10 feels like if I've never experienced it?" and every neurotypical person just tells you 11

I'm so tired and stressed, my anxiety has been terrible. I'm not sure if I should limit my political news consumption (which is all extremely stressful and depressing) or if it's better to stay on top of the terrible things that happen every day.

New pseudoscience from the CDC website, courtesy of chief idiot HHS secretary. The evidence supporting Vitamin A treatment is largely in countries where the average person may be suffering from vitamin deficiencies. The primary recommendation of the CDC should be MMR vaccination, full stop.

I like how different medical specialties have different "vibes". I'm still pretty torn on EM vs psychiatry, and thinking a bit about IM or FM... but I love my EM colleagues, it's like a specialty just for ADHD types like me. The tox community is full of the nicest brilliant nerds you'll ever meet.

I was featured in this episode and won for best answer! The next time I get down about applications and med school, I'm just going to listen to Dr. King saying that I'll be "undoubtedly a great healthcare professional some day in the future" 😭 [contains quote post or other embedded content]

Most interesting thing I've seen recently was a young patient with thyrotoxicosis secondary to unmedicated Graves Disease. HR of like 140, most recent labs had TSH of like 0.01, so anxious they were about to burn a hole in their bed from shaking. I felt so bad for them!

My prereqs are from a decade ago, so just getting an interview is really reassuring - means at least someone is taking me seriously. I just wish this process wasn't so grueling and soul crushing. Having to wait a year between cycles with very limited feedback stinks.

Med School interviews went fine, but I was so sick with a URI the week leading up to it that I couldn't actually speak until the day before. I wish I'd been able to practice more, but have to assume I didn't get in and keep planning for the next cycle.

Med school interviews this week, I'm so nervous lol ><

I hope I get into med school this cycle. Being a medical student might be the only thing that protects me in the coming years.

The fear and anxiety are palpable in the emergency department today.
