I'm not sure what kind of earring you are using, but I don't think pliers would be necessary?
It's very similar to this:
Trying to get it out by hand has never worked for me.

If you go to a tattoo shop, they have this little tool that they can use to untwist it. I don't know the protocol of going to a different place than where you got it done, but I think it's worth a shot versus taking pliers to your own earIt's very similar to this:

If the physician you're interviewing with has to take time out of the interview to stitch up your torn ear after you took pliers to it, the interview didn't go well.
are you sure the little ball doesn't untwist? that's how my earring like this is, so if that's not how yours works, I have no clue, sorryWell, more to the metal ring in my ear than the ear itself. And, like, needle nose pliers, not side cutters or something. That's what someone told me I was supposed to do back in the day when I got the piercing. Also, it doesn't twist. There's no twisting involved in this ring.

My hair is a bit longer on the top, but the same length on the side. Thoughts?

if you look like that you should have no problem
Totally off-topic, but I hated how the assistants at my orthodontist's office told me that the spaces would just cause pressure, not pain. They move your teeth a pretty large distance in a short amount of time. Your teeth become very, very sore. This is pain. That is not just pressure, that is pain. It really bothered me how they tried to tell me something wouldn't hurt even though I was obviously going to find out in a matter of hours.@ridethecliche
I have a similar experience.
In college, I learned pretty quickly that my teeth were an obvious tell-tell that I did not belong among my middle,upper-middle, upper-class peers. I saved up money to get braces. They have to insert small rubber spacers between your molars in order to make room for the required mounts. The dentist, IMHO, never told me how uncomfortable and painful my night would be. When I returned two days later asking for new spacers, he had trouble believing what I was telling him, "I took them out!". It seems effective bilateral communication is imperative to compliance. *shrug*
I'm not pre-med (I'm pre-dental) but I just wanna say I think Yall are overthinking this stuff! Look nice, but look like YOURSELF! don't feel like you need to take out diamond studs in your ears/cut your hair/look like someone you're not! Your personality and individuality is what makes you interesting and memorable

I've had these before. They're captive bead rings - a pain in the butt to take out, but you just have to pop the bead out. I would go to a piercer if you're struggling for >20 minutes.It's very similar to this:

I have never felt the need to post on this website but today I make an exception. As someone who just got my first tiny earlobe piercings at the age of 22, I am not particularly passionate about body modification. But the tone of presumption and judgement in this thread makes me very uncomfortable. I totally agree that personal aesthetics should be left out of professional settings, and OP should dress accordingly for his interview and medical career. BUT, what is with these assumptions about a person's character and their intentions just be cause they share in unconventional body aesthetics? We already live in a world where your appearance and possessions predisposes you to certain prejudices and privileges. People as highly educated as we are should probably be aware of the trappings of those quick and often false conclusions. It sort of makes me wonder what kinds of people I will be working with in the future, like are you gonna judge a patient as a social deviant and unable to make good decisions because in their private life they've got a couple of gauges and tattoo?

It all boils down to the fact that it is perceived as unprofessional and, in my personal opinion, looks ridiculous anyway. Regardless, you are flaunting the fact that you are unable to make good decisions when it comes to understanding the social norms and mores of the society to which you want to gain acceptance.
You can be as individual and unique as you want, but you can't dictate how the majority views these choices.
I don't know about anyone else but I always question the decision making capacity of people who have them
I've never found simple gauged ears to look unprofessional. It's when they're huge, have random **** in them, etc that they start to look off.
I guess I'm not in the majority here though, but I like them and I'd have them if not for the backlash...
I think the same for sleeves though, which is why my tattoo isn't visible when wearing scrubs. This will hold true for the next one, whenever I choose to get it.
Complete nonsense. It's not about what the majority thinks of gauged ears (which I don't think for a second is what you stated), it's about the expectation that you present yourself in an aesthetically conservative manner in an interview.
