Going to work on Match day to me is almost kind of like going to work on your Wedding day. Cant have the fragile academic staff having to write a note, see their own patients or god forbid visit the ER..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mjd2012 Posted February 27, 2018 Report Share Posted February 27, 2018 any possible chance that match results will be posted before Thursday at 12:00 noon? have they come out any earlier in the morning, for example, in the past? or is it always dead on?

I’m pregnant so booze is out. I’ll be the only person at the match party with a tall glass of ginger ale. Makes me the automatic DD I suppose though.

AlexMD Posted March 1, 2018 Report Share Posted March 1, 2018 No they are time-locked with javascrip. im pretty sure people at Red_Dit could analyze the source page and figure the right javascript code to inject into the page to bypass this and show the result way earlier. But now it doesnt matter since its only some hours from now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can do whatever you want to the javascript but the data simply isn't there to play with Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was on a surgical rotation on my match day, and they kept us there all day! We literally had to sneak away to check our results. The staff even kept us for teaching from 4-5pm despite knowing that it was our match day! One poor girl matched but to a distant location and was devastated and we sat there getting pimped. Truly still bitter thinking back on it 6 years later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or the patented hold this retractor in the OR for 3 hours from 11:30-2:30 on match day. No moving now. Classic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
