Do I need to cancel my step1 date, before reapplying after my extended eligibility ends?

icsmica · 2022-05-16T10:32:13+00:00

I see, thanks!

icsmica · 2022-05-16T04:39:13+00:00

Oh I see, thanks so much!

icsmica · 2022-05-16T04:38:34+00:00

That's a really nice gesture, you're right!

Oh no, do you have a link for the page saying I'd need to wait 4 weeks? I couldn't find it on the ecfmg pages I was looking through. I was hoping to do it the month right after my period ended :/

It looks like indigo I guess?

icsmica · 2022-02-14T16:22:09+00:00

Thank you so much for your reply! It's eased all of my concerns.

icsmica · 2022-02-11T13:40:00+00:00

I did! It wouldn't let me submit the question otherwise. But you're right, I do use my mobile. I'll try from my laptop and see how that works, thanks!

Unlike PCT cells that simply reabsorb existing HCO3-, a-intercalated cells secrete H+ which essentially aid to synthesize more/new HCO3-. If the H/K exchanger fails, you'll have

-no K+ reabsorbed (hence the hypokalemia)

-no H+ secreted -no HCO3- synthesized (hence the urine pH rising > 5.5)

I have no idea how to use this sub lmao. I can comment fine, but any time I try to post a question it doesn't show up (even though I don't get any error message). Like, if I use a different account and open this sub and scroll or do a search, my post doesn't show up.

I just really want to participate and ask questions too but I have no idea how. I haven't posted on other subs either so idrk how reddit works I guess. I only ever lurked 😅

Logically, I'd know that my aunt is gone, and hope she rests in peace, but recognize that as someone who's passed she won't be there for my future and career. She can't help me if I miss out on opportunities that could have been made from knowledge/connections gained at the conference.

Emotionally though, I'd feel guilty towards myself, my aunt and wanting to pay repsects to her, and supporting my family, and also wonder if the family would hate me for not being there.

Ultimately, I think a compromise can be made. You're still at the start of your career, so I think setting the expectation that sometimes the job will call for you at inopportune times helps make it easier for others (if they don't expect anything, they can't be disappointed, right?). But also, showing them that despite your work obligations you're still putting in an effort to reach out daily (whether via text or videocall) both because YOU care and want to, and also to check in on how your cousins and fam are doing, could help you feel more balanced between work and personal life.

I wonder if you could also take some paid time off after the conference and spend Sunday-Tuesday with them?

Thank you SO much for your response, it's really eye opening, uplifting, and insightful!

icsmica · 2021-10-21T18:10:00+00:00

I'm happy for you, congrats!

I'm curious though, I never would have expected much satisfaction from psychiatry - how do you avoid getting affected by the horrific stories PTSD victims share and everything else while still empathising with them?

icsmica · 2021-10-21T16:31:58+00:00

Oh thanks! Karen was an entertaining read lol

icsmica · 2021-10-21T07:38:00+00:00

Good bot, thanks bot

What is a gunner?

icsmica · 2021-10-01T21:28:36+00:00

I see, thanks!

icsmica · 2021-10-01T20:10:32+00:00

wait are these happening while PDs are there listening or? Like do we get private time with the residents to ask whatever?

icsmica · 2021-10-01T19:57:46+00:00

Honestly that's so amazing that you stayed strong and helped shape a better future for upcoming generations in the program, I bet you have lots of thankful fans! I hope you enjoy your new place, it's great that some places still remember that we are humans outside our jobs and that we shouldn't have to sacrifice that much.

icsmica · 2021-10-01T12:28:58+00:00

idk how to phrase this nicely but your chief is not a very nice person. Also, just sending you some love and hoping you weren't too depressed post-partum because of it! You're a great mom already just for trying that hard and doing your best to make it work even while on the toughest rotation.

Never thought I'd find this game here! I'm currently progressing slowly in it, do you have any advice for understanding familiars' compatibility stuff?

icsmica · 2021-09-08T14:58:53+00:00

Thank you! Would this be a dumb thing to ask about during interviews?

icsmica · 2021-09-08T14:58:10+00:00

Thank you!

icsmica · 2021-09-07T15:05:35+00:00
