reminders i need to like, tattoo on my brain:

1. if you feel judged and hurt by others, try sleeping

2. if you feel judgmental and resentful of others, try eating (the classics)

3. if you feel uncomfortable, try showering

4. if you feel directionless and afraid, go sit outside for a bit and maybe then you'll calm down. maybe even a walk if youre feelin crazy

5. take it easy, but by god, take it

I'm doing my MD in Russia. I'll graduate in 2028...I'm planning to give Step 1 in 2027 and Step 2 in 2028 and go for the 2029 match cycle...is this a realistic approach or am I being too delusional and need more time?

I don't think that's crazy. We take our step exams in the US within that same timeframe.

I have been told IMG's are more competitive if they take Step 3, but I'm not the person to ask about that. It may be better to ask IMG's who successfully matched in the US because it's a very different experience from US MD students

Intern Year Day 10

Called my first code stroke

Held the pager

[basicwitchstudies]

You're in med school? Your bio says you got a a B.A did you do pre-med to fulfill the prerequisites?

I am in my intern year. I graduated with my US MD in May.

I am a non-trad so yes I have two B.A degrees. I had to take community college coursework to meet the pre-reqs.

One of my patients on the stroke team advanced his diet without clearance and I had a chat with him and his spouse (who snuck him the food) and my attending declared it a polite "Arizona asskicking" lmao

My 1st day of intern year actually went really well!

Specific things that went well:

My chief is AMAZING

My chief told me the attending said I was strong and wanted to work with me more (he will not bc i am on an off-service rotation)

My 4 patients are okay!

Only got lost twice

Laughs:

Walking thru the CCU by accident while lost

My chief loves to cuss and it's fun

Accidentally introducing myself to pts by 1st name forgetting im the doctor now

If your lover lives in Hong Kong and cannot get to Chicago, it will be necessary for you to go to Hong Kong. Perhaps you will spend your life there, and never see Chicago again. And you will, I assure you, as long as space and time divide you from anyone you love, discover a great deal about shipping routes, airlines, earthquake, famine, disease, and war. And you will always know what time it is in Hong Kong, for you love someone who lives there. And love will simply have no choice but to go into battle with space and time and, furthermore, to win.

My apartment is almost put together. I have mostly books to unpack. The bathroom and closet are proving to be an issue because I have like zero storage space.

I am in Nashville. I have spent the entire week trying to readjust my schedule from bone deep exhaustion and lack of a real bed

[basicwitchstudies]

I will be leaving my home in 2 days.

My husband lived in this house when we met. I moved in and lived here with his family until they all left. We built this house together. Our first home.

Only 2 more nights in our home. In our bed.

We're both scared.
