How does Canadian med school differ from the US? I've never looked into it and am too lazy to google as I finish this day's dredging work...
Education wise they are generally considered equivalent (at MD schools that is) however the approach to practice is somewhat different because its public healthcare not private (or so i am told by current physicians)

Also many of our residencies are longer but US trained MDs are "easily" able to license and practice in Canada (relative to other countries)

They're harder to get into.

that too we only have since we only have 14 English medical schools

I didn't even bother applying to Canadian schools. So tough to get in....

Ravizzle your Canadian? what province?

Maybe you'll get in off the waitlist! I'm waitlisted at my top choice too, and if I don't hear back by late June I'm moving across the country lol 🙁

I finished interviews last September! :wow:
Still not too sure when I'm moving though.
 
strangely I have never been shot at with a gun but have been in regions targeted by explosives (when I was working outside of Canada)

I feel like a gun shot is probably scarier

Man, I wish the phone app let you multi quote.

Well, think of it this way, it's scary during the time you're actually being shot at and can hear the bullets whiz by; but I can't imagine sustained fear for long periods of time in which you could possibly be obliterated...both situations suck.

Quote, the copy and cut all. Then quote again, paste, copy and cut all. Repeat until you have all you want. Lol

My phone app does it. Is the app on iPhone different?

Indeed it is. It also doesn't keep my signature on each time i start it up: lame.

Nooo! Hopefully it's not serious. Back injuries are THE WORST. Get better soon man.

On another note...runescape 2007 servers are being released tomorrow 😀 there goes my weekend.
 
Mother of god, these Caribbean admission speakers have their stuff down. I didn't go, but people I've explicitly warned about Caribbean schools before left and told me that it "didn't seem all that bad, actually."

WHAT???

I find they bring people who went there and are now doing well like roads or chief residents

But they don't have stats to show if hey are the exceptions or the rule
 
I kind of want to slit my wrists right now. Photography is ruining my life. THIS WAS SUPPOSED TO BE A FUN AND EASY CLASS.

Getting bored of SDN again.
 
:wow:
That guy is getting pretty mad, huh? A lot of name calling, if you can count "****ing *****" as name calling. 🙄

I'm trying to be nice to the guy and not flame him, but I'm laughing inside as I read his responses :laugh:
 
Feeling better. Just back pain is really annoying. And I had just gotten one of those electrical bodyfat monitor things and was about to hit it hard these next few weeks before going on a cut for summer. Now I'll probably be out the gym for a couple weeks.

Mostly this pain is just really annoying

#firstworldproblems

PS: Anyone else, when they go to the doctor these days, are just itching to yell out 'hey, I'm gonna be a doctor too!!!'.....I didn't, though.
 
Also, just went to the WAMC thread out of curiosity, saw the last post about 'i hope you all fail at what you love,' thought it was all just trolling, and thus posted my gif. Scrolled up and saw he might actually just be upset. That said, is my gif post insensitive?

They were actually curse words that were censored.

Same apparently, lol. That guy just doesn't get it.

👍
 
I think the best line is 'you little wise bitch'

....what does that even mean?
