Difference between being cut-throat and playing dirty?

[drpropofol]

If you can find them - great, if not, no sweat. And stay away from that library, find one out of your circle, e.g. a library for students of Islamic studies at your university to which you have access, but your mainstream fellow students never heard of it. And then study at your own pace, not influenced inappropriately by others as you play head games with yourself.

 

Your only real competition is yourself! You want to be the best of which you are capable, with no regrets. Develop your ownindependent study habits that work for you, if need be, using the counselling service. For sure, do not ever be influenced by what others do or claim to do. You control your own destiny and you alone are accountable and responsible for the outcome.

 

Are you aware that there are people in this world that have a severe medical condition which causes them to be that way? My mother for instance is one of those people. She is a truck driver that has bad knees and a bad back from driving the truck but you probably do not care about that case either. Oh well I am not one of those people I am 6'4" 245lbs and I exercise every day. I would love to see you say something like to my mother in front of me. Probably never happen though you are probably just an internet tough guy. I doubt very seriously you would say that to someones face. Just my thought.What do you think. Oh I am sorry you probably do not have a brain. I on the other hand will be happy to buy you a plane ticket to come here and see if you have the nerve to say that to someone I know.

WTF are you going on about?

 

Btw, your height, weight and exercise frequency means nothing. I know guys 2/3 your size who'd mop the floor with you. Stop being an "internet tough guy" yourself.

He's a troll. I read all four of his posts. He has yet to say something on topic.

not sure if serratus

[drpropofol]

LOL!

 

Not sure if "serratus"! I think this spammer is using a medical correction dictionary and meant to say "serious".

 

Or he could be clever with puns.

 

To drpropofol:

 

stop worrying about getting people to click on your spam links, and start learning English.

 

Start learning what a link is.

 

oh ya and btw...

Can people chill and stop causing thread deletions?

 

jeez

[DeeDoc]

I used to be very open and not hold back anything. And then the very people I helped ended up either intentionally trying to screw me over or didn't help me when I needed it.

 

My priorities have changed.

 

This. Everyone that I was more than willing to help, was more than happy to stick a knife in my back and throw me under a bus.

 

But wait... they got rejected from every school they applied to last cycle. I waited a year to apply... and I've got a handful of American MD acceptances, including the lovely Case Western. Those people are now wishing they weren't so cut throat.

 

Don't be cut throat under any circumstances. No doubt this game is competitive. But you don't need to trample over the bodies of other people to get here. I didn't

[Curi0user]

But seriously the people who help me out, like some of you here, MAKE me want to help others even more.

Helping each other out is seriously a great way to succeed.

I agree 100%. If not for the great help I received in life I would not be where I am whether that's been personal, athletic or academic help. I feel it my obligation to pay back the good deeds of others with good deeds of myself to help others.

 

I don't always have the time TO do it or don't always take the time to do it but I need to remind myself that I have to do it because it's important to me. Helping is nice

Ask a guy who has screwed fellow pre-meds over multiple times anything.

 

 

 

-Often lie about deadlines/due dates

 

-Lie about stuff the prof told me we "don't have to worry about for the exam"

 

-Give false/missing notes to people

 

 

You mad cuz I'm stylin' on you brahs?

[Robin Hood]

Sometimes, I think doctors' salary should be reduced. I bet most premeds want to get in for money and prestige, so they have no issue screwing others. They want the money, other premeds are obstacles. Actually most human beings are like this, greedy and abusive. They want you to save their skin, but they will feel happy putting their knife in your backs. They don't want to help others but screw them, and stabbing you is how they say thank you.

Have fun watching all the talented young students fade away from medicine and choose other careers if you do that, lol

Well if you compare physician salaries here compared to specialists in the US, they're not that high; I'd say salaries here are about right. I'm not under the impression that there are as many premeds here that intend to go into to dermatology to make boatloads of cash, but salaries are still high enough to attract many bright and hard-working individuals. I may be wrong though, if I recall correctly, physicians in the UK get paid much less, but they still do better on certain metrics such as waitlist time for diagnostics.

Hm.. Well I don't think they regret being cut throat , they probably wish they were more efficient in their cut-throat ways xD

And wow, congrats on Case Western 0_o

Where are you attending now?

According to a 2008 Fraiser Institute study, UK trailed behind Canada in # of MRI, CT Scanners, and Mammograph machines.

 

Whether that has a true cause and effect on wait times I don't know yet. I am still in research mode lol

[apache]

mmm, i really doubt it, i'd still go into psychiatry if it paid 150 k instead of 250 k, if i still wanted to do medicine. doctors in canada and the united states are paid exponentially more than they are in the rest of the developed world. i wouldn't say they should be making 50 k a year but they could definitely use a salary shave with the rest of the money going to the other health professionals like dieticians, physiotherapists, nurses, pharmacists etc.

 

i also really don't think the "most talented" students (most people measure this as those with the best gpa) make the best doctors either, it takes a real balance of life experience, academic prowess, critical thinking (faculty of arts props, lol), social skills including good body language, tonality, the ability to view things from multiple perspectives and the ability to relate to a number of different groups (i.e. be able to relate to the homeless, elite businessman, house moms, as well as work with the complete care team and be generally very socially malleable) to make a talented physician, a physician is a healer, not just a mechanic, and being a healer means you have to gain peoples trust, have them work and co-operate with you, gain the support of your colleagues... these are all the soft skills that med schools are continually trying to find a way to assess but never really can.

 

i'd also like to add that many mediocre people actually go into medicine because while you have to work hard, you're guaranteed everything once you get in as long as you're not an absolute moron, many of the most talented people go into fields that pay based on competency i.e. law etc. because while the average lawyer makes way less than the average doctor the best lawyers make quite a bit more than the average doctor, so medicine in a way is a hedged career

[Let'sGo1990]

Premeds in general are so damn annoying that, when people ask me what I want to do when I'm older, I avoid telling them medicine so that I don't attach the negative stigma associated with premeds to myself.

 

Oh, and everyone else here is on the money about social science/arts kids being so much more chill and relaxed. I enjoy my psych classes more than I do my core science ones.

[apache]

imagine doing a degree where most of your classes are like this (psych, soc, religious studies, lol) and then walking into a 300 level biochem or immunology option where everyone seems psycho... lol, i was like wow, im glad i don't have to be in these classes all day, these people seem really stressed out and serious.

I know lol. What I've noticed though is that the social science/arts classes always tend to have that one annoying ass kid who always feels the need to comment/question everything the professor says.

 

Still rather take that over premeds though.

I graduated last year. I'm taking the year to travel/interview.

[apache]

you see that in a lot of 400 level arts seminar classes. i remember one class i took that was basically a dialogue between me, the professor, and this girl i sat beside who i ended up becoming really close friends with. i think that class only had like 15 people so i didn't really have a problem monopolizing the discussion, because in reality, everyone is expected to contribute their original ideas to the discussion, and people are glad others are talking the whole time so the instructor doesn't put them on the spot and ask them to talk... inevitably it would always be does someone other than x or y have a though regarding that... ok x and y, what are your thoughts, lol

 

i know what you mean though when a student tries to make a larger, lower level class into their own dialogue between the professor and themselves for whatever reason. they don't realize that office hours exist for a reason, humanities profs usually love to talk about their work in depth, but not when it compromises the learning of 100 other students who may not be as well versed in the topic. we use to get those i worked in children and youth services for 10 years and this is how its actually done people all the time in classes like introduction to cognitive behavioural therapy and sometimes you just want to be like that's nice lady, but can you stfu so the professor can get to the point, i know you a lot about asperger's syndrome but i don't have to hear about it everyday, lol

 

I know lol. What I've noticed though is that the social science/arts classes always tend to have that one annoying ass kid who always feels the need to comment/question everything the professor says.
