Why did you erase your post?
Why did you erase your post?
I know how you feel man. It didn't take long for me to have to accept I'm no longer the smartest guy in the room. I'm not saying I was neccesarily the smartest person in college either, however I easily managed to stay at the top of my class. But, man, I'm going to have to work my ass off during med school. It's not like I wasn't expecting that neccesarily, but it realy hits you once you actually have to experience it.While my ego has certainly taken a hit academically, physically I feel better than I have in a long time
I about spit my tea all over my computer.Med school is also destroying his posts.
Then are you eating right? Exercising? Apparently not. Surely you're not saying you have no time to eat healthy or to exercise 30 minutes a day.My health has plummeted since being here, im always sick, lethargic, gaining weight no matter what I eat, getting weaker, depressed, doc told me I had high blood pressure Ive never had high blood pressure, I will probably end up like those 300 pound surgeons I see around campus.
That photo is really inappropriate in this discussion and you should know better, esp. with what happened to Heath Ledger and due to the recent discussion of med student/physician suicide.A new troll is born.
Hahaha on fire in this threadMed school is also destroying his posts.
I have never seen a 300 lb surgeon. And the surgeons I know are way busier than you.My health has plummeted since being here, im always sick, lethargic, gaining weight no matter what I eat, getting weaker, depressed, doc told me I had high blood pressure Ive never had high blood pressure, I will probably end up like those 300 pound surgeons I see around campus.
I have. He was a damn good surgeon. Dare I say one of the best.I have never seen a 300 lb surgeon. And the surgeons I know are way busier than you.
I've never actually seen that freeze frame before. *shudder* too many feels.That photo is really inappropriate in this discussion and you should know better, esp. with what happened to Heath Ledger and due to the recent discussion of med student/physician suicide.

Yeah, I'm sure that's the context you were using it in.You know better, in the context of the movie, it was the birth of chaos within Harvey Dent due to what The Joker said to him and the perceived choice he had.

I didn't say the movie reference is. I said the picture is.Eh, I say lighten up. Referring to a mainstream movie reference as inappropriate is pretty far fetched.

EMDO2018 is not a troll. He's 100% real.New troll?
Just because people are real doesn't mean they aren't trollsEMDO2018 is not a troll. He's 100% real.
No, he's been quite miserable since Day 1 (or maybe just venting). He isn't trolling in the true sense of the word.Just because people are real doesn't mean they aren't trolls
It isn't starvation. He's eating very unhealthy food - hence his lethargy.@EMDO2018 You need to chill. You're still adjusting. Once you get used to things, then you can sort out how to work out and the like. I'll give you my chili recipe if you want a good way to not die of starvation and minimize the time you have to spend cooking bro It's pretty epic
That surprises me but then again I was sharing a cinnamon roll with a vascular surgeon today in the OR lounge as we suffered another indeterminable delay. Neither of us are overweight but give us a few more days like today and you never know.No sure about 300lbs, but according to medscape, surgeons have the highest percentage of overweight doctors compared to other specialties. Perhaps their lack of free time and exhaustion force them eat whatever they find ready.

What the hell was I thinking coming here thinking people would understand, im gone.
Are you close with any of your classmates? I think there's a mentality at first that everyone is out to get each other but that's not the case (at least not everywhere). Try to reach out to them and I think you'll see you're not alone. As you all get to know each other better I think it will be easier having people to vent to or blow off steam with on the weekends.
That said med school can still be depressing for a lot of people. Seek help from your doctor or a counselor if you need it.
I found this making the rounds on Reddit today. Surprisingly relevant to this topic.

I mean, I think we can learn something from this about how motivation works in this arena. Working out for health reasons may be enough to get started, but it won't sustain you, otherwise the med student in the article never would have got into this mess. I think that if you want to sustain a change, you need something deeper, like anger, hate, and revenge to drive you. I'll try to think of something to be angry at, it'll help I guess.
There are good people and bad people in medical school. That said, sometimes, your friend may be someone else's enemy, and vice versa. Medical school can be a cliquey place.
There are all types of people in medical school, just like any other profession. Cliques are no different with respect to frequency in med schools vs. other professions. There are some allopathic U.S. medical schools that have 350 students in their class. It's IMPOSSIBLE to make friends with all 350 people.There are good people and bad people in medical school.

Nah, I floss every day because it is healthy -- not out of hopes for revenge. I've done this for years, I missed one day.
I exercise everyday because it's good for my health (weight/BP/relax/etc) -- not out of hate. I go 6 days per week...for years.
I would think that emotional appeals for change are more transient.
Sometimes it is like you go out of your way to make unusual posts. Whatever the med student in the article experienced is n=1...not gospel.
Time to change your username to FMDO2018
And that's exactly why you're forever alone.Lel I never floss.
Will respond to the rest tomorrow.
