Then don't read them. You're welcome, I solved your problem.
Right, I do work at Barnes (and not at WUSOM). I said I worked at WUSM because not everyone knows that Barnes is affiliated with WUSOM and it was easier to type a different acronym than explain that as a Barnes employee, I see WUSOM staff everywhere. I used to work in a research lab at WU, and then I realized that Barnes is a better situation for me. My lab job is a straight 40 hour per week job during which I spend 30+ hours waiting for things to happen. It also pays more than any entry level lab job at WUSOM. My job also gives me the opportunity to interact with people in clinical medicine as well as people in academic medicine. My job also involves me traveling for conferences and attending board meetings focused on furthering the field. My job also does not hinge on a research grant (like many WUSOM jobs do) and therefore offers better job security. So sure, maybe my lab job isn't as great as your job is or as great as you imagine lab jobs can be, but there really isn't anything bad about it.
And no, not all of my posts are rude or unsupportive. Let me pull out a few examples.
I find it necessary to point out false information, especially when it's blatantly wrong and obviously completely made up. DOs can go just about anywhere they want provided they are competitive enough. Very few (if any) programs actually do not admit DOs at all. That's a total rumor and is one that needs to cease to be spread around. As a DO you probably won't get into the most prestigious places in the country, but you probably wouldn't have done that even as an MD. Simple statistics tells you that.

LOL first of all dude I don't really care about how much money you make, grats dude you make money to sit and do something a mindless monkey could do. I actually had the opportunity to have a job like yours but denied it. I have a 40 hour work week as well- some days I work 12 hour days, the next day I maybe work 4 because of my long experiment the day before and my job isn't grant funded. The project that I work on is grant funded. I picked my job because I do get the same interactions and opportunities that you do, but I wanted something intellectually stimulating that could challenge me and make me think. Which is something we do in medical school!?!?! My lab job isn't great, it could be mindless, but Im not a lazy person and I would rather make myself useful. its what I make it, I pushed beyond what was required within my job description and got asked to work on harder projects due to my work ethic. I'd rather put that on my CV, just saying
Like I said before, it's hard not to read your posts because there are about 329821938129312 of them. Maybe instead of spending your time bashing and arguing with people on here you could read a Nature magazine. For the time it took for me to get home from work and begin dinner you already responded on here multiple times.
She went back and reworded her statement. You could have said something like, oh hey Felix, I work at wusm too and you are actually incorrect they do let DOs in, instead of NICE TRY THOUGH. Which is arrogant and rude.
You actually told me once that I probably will get an interview or 2. if Im lucky. which isn't supportive and encouraging. and I currently have 7. Im just saying for all of the 10k posts you have you do have a lot of condescending and rude ones compared to the nice and supportive ones. I definitely don't think you got into med school based on your personality, thats for sure. If you care to meet up and want me to say that to your face i would be more than happy to.
