what do you think? -
If you can't celebrate someone else's achievement then just keep your head down and improve your own life. No need to throw shade at them.

I don't know who to ask

Usually you buy online or if there's an overzealous upper year med student who bought their own personal ophthalmoscope and realized it was a waste of money, they'll be happy to sell it to you. -

Advice on FM hospitalist vs GIM
freewheeler replied to coffeeaddict's topic in Primary Care Residencies
Do you feel a compulsive need for others to think you are the smartest person in the room? Do you love working inhumane hours? Do you have the personality of a walking textbook? If yes to the above do GIM. Otherwise do hospitalist which is a dumping ground for internal medicine when their ward is getting full. -

Is it worth getting a 4.0 GPA?

Not worth the toil of the application process + medical school/clerkship especially + CaRMS + residency +/- fellowship(s) to maybe land a job and for it to be somewhere that you might not want to be. Low 6 figures + pension + 3 wk paid vacation + no debt = No brainer. Enjoy your hopefully humane hours, evenings/weekends off, spend time with your friends/family/SO and stay connected to your personal interests/hobbies.
