      Med school is a full-time job times 2. There's no having a job while in medical school unless you do work study which is usually 20 hours or less per week. Most of us made it by taking out loans which for medical school are meant to cover living expenses too.

    Your videos even if it's everyday videos are great source of inspiration for me. Trying to make the most of my every day too. If you have time it would be nice to hear your opinion about prioritizing. I feel overwhelmed with different opportunities and I feel like I'm missing out if I refuse to do something. On the other hand I am physically not able to do all those things and choosing what I want to do seems like a hardest choice at times

  • @carolmelancon

    Get ready. Depending on your field, you could be on call a lot. Especially when you are starting out. When I first started with a small group, I was on-call every third day 24/7. That got better as our group grew, but I'm still on every 6th.

    Make sure they’re not poisonous to her. Also, you can get a little water bottle to deter her from doing things you don’t want her to. If you spritz her lightly w/water, she will learn to associate the water bottle w/things she shouldn’t do. Then you just set it up by your plants & she won’t touch them any longer.

    Hey! I was wondering what you guys usually do when you're on call during your anesthesia rotation. Do you get to go to the OR if there is an emergency surgery? Do you also perform regional anesthesia procedures like spinal block or nerve block? I'm almost on my 4th year of anesthesia residency in Argentina, so I'd love to know more about how the anesthesia block works abroad.
    Also, I have 2 cats and the struggle to keep them from destroying my plants while I'm not home is REAL AF. :(

    i underestimated how much work kittens can be honestly. mine is 6 months old, i have never had a cat before, only a dog and she needs so much attention and play time like damn. I constantly have to throw something for her, then she loses her toy, starts crying because she can't find it, so i have to help her look for it, throw it again. She pretty much only sleeps at night which i didn't expect, i thought cats sleep a lot more but mine doesn't for some reason. And everytime i don't give her any attention she starts biting me or just starts jumping on top of everything throwing shit off the table

    Any tips for a premed between prereq courses for the summer? I’ve only taken chem 1 and bio 1, feel solid on bio but chem 1 Professor was not very good at all.
    So any applications or study materials you would recomend to really cement my learned knowledge in preperation for bio 2 and chem 2?
