Saw people commenting on Penn’s plastics residency Instagram about it, and saw he made a medfluencer account and bought a bunch of followers
Is he just gonna grift now? Do his coresidents or PD care? I feel like most Philadelphians (myself included) wouldn’t be too happy being his patient. I don’t know, maybe I’m being naive
Edit: before anyone else comments this talking point, it’s not about his freedom of speech, it’s about the fact that he feigned genuine interest and most likely lied on his residency applications (and everything else that was discussed about him in the previous subreddit post a couple days ago)
Edit2: alright well, I suppose people have made their stances and points on the matter pretty clear, and that this has run its course :/
NBME 12 (5/2): 226
NBME 13 (5/10): 246
I know I still have NBME’s 15, 16, and the free120 left, but I was wondering if I could finally start feeling comfortable about where I’m at with such little time left. Haven’t done CMS forms or AMBOSS ethics/QI yet. Still have ~160 surgery and ~700 medicine UWorld left (no time for neuro/ambulatory/EM)
Just 10 min ago, eastbound on the schuylkill slightly past the montgomery drive exit. This cop pulls someone over who immediately opens their car door, steps halfway out of it, and starts angrily gesturing back towards the cop. What’s the point?
Previous post, thanks for all the advice, all my homies hate NBME 12 🥲
I take NBME 13 this Sunday. 73% correct/60% complete on UWorld (300 surgery and 700 medicine cards left, might not have time for EM/neuro/ambulatory). 110/84th-percentile average on COMAT (DO shelf) exams. 634/86th-percentile COMASE Phase 2 (DO NBME). Keeping up with anki, doing 80 questions per day. Haven’t tried any CMS forms. Can’t push any further since I start my first general surgery sub-I on 6/8. Thoughts?
Edit: here’s my NBME 12 breakdown
Hey, so I picked up Ativan from the City Ave Target CVS on 4/4. It was to be picked up on 4/5, but because of Easter Sunday they allowed me to pick up a day earlier
Afterwards, I still kept getting texts reminding me to pick up, which I shouldn't have ignored. Fast-forward to 4/18, I went back and asked them about the recurring texts, which turns out they didn't mark it as "picked up" yet. They proceeded to mark it as such, but I also shouldn't have ignored that either
I checked my CVS account today, and my prescription is marked as picked up on 4/18. My psychiatrist is going to prescribe me Ativan on Wednesday, but now I won't be able to pick it up until 5/15 (according to Manage prescriptions on CVS)
I called the pharmacist, but they said "there's nothing I can do" because "that's what the system says". I have the original prescription bottle. Other than a learning lesson on better practicing due diligence of my prescriptions, what are my options going forward? Thanks in advance!
