told a patient today I was applying to medical school but it wasn’t working out well yet and she slapped my hand and said “let me call them, you’ve been the kindest person I’ve met here!” And I know that’s not totally feasible but it was so sweet of her to offer 🥺

I got an A in Biochem! I busted my butt, studied over the SUMMER before the class, and was constantly Zooming with my professor. I got the highest grade on 2 out of 3 exams. I spent a lot of time thinking I wasn’t smart enough for medicine. I’m now realizing that just isn’t true.

shoutout to the Premed advisors at R*tg*rs University for telling me I’d never get into medical school, or even apply. they also told me to start studying for the MCAT as a freshman. they couldn’t of been more wrong.

some medical school advice I wish I heard earlier as a MS1 (or didn’t listen to): orientation is draining, you don’t have to go to all the events after to make friends. I promise they’ll be there after orientation week. trust your gut, some people do not have good vibes

can we stress how important it is that when someone asks for dairy free…. They actually get dairy free? I ordered Starbucks yesterday and asked for almond milk but they gave me a normal latte and I didn’t notice due to the flavoring and I literally spent all day violently ill

the physician I work for, a hopkins grad and one of the smartest people I know, went on to tell me how bright I was, and how I was just as smart as she was, and how she didn’t understand how I was struggling this app cycle. it’s bittersweet, but it’s nice to feel recognized.

it’s a tough time to be in medicine as a trainee. a majority of my grade is based off of people’s perceptions. are they more old school medicine? will they be upset if I have xyz belief or have a life circumstance come up? I have to walk on eggshells constantly.

I do horrendous on exams. Always. Idk what I’m doing wrong. I feel like I’m not meant to be a doctor. I want to go into a competitive specialty and I score in the seventies on all exams. I just don’t even know if my goal is attainable anymore.

Premed culture can be incredibly toxic but I also don’t think we make it any better by perpetuating insane standards&unsaid rules. Reddit and SDN are not the end all of applying to medical school. People with 3.9 and 528s don’t get in. Be kind, support others, and do your thing.

not every doctor is good. ok? a lot suck, don’t care, write people off when they’re chronically ill, disabled, have dementia, etc. we need to acknowledge deficits in our system to get better. it’s incredibly naive to just put everyone on a pedestal.

my premed advisor at *insert big 10 university* told me to change careers because I could never recover from poor grades my sophomore year because I was sick. he told me I’d never make it. I wasn’t dedicated. here I am studying for my MCAT. I’m not there yet but it’s a good start

just because you’re unhappy in your career in medicine/too in debt to back out, doesn’t mean people don’t have the right to celebrate their accomplishments. a lot of people, myself included, have worked in healthcare for years prior to making this decision. give us our time (1/2)

no one ever tells you how hard it is to be a partner to someone in medicine when you are also in medicine. it’s so isolating and lonely. living practically two separate lives and just hoping things will be better when we’re done with training.
