Without altruism, the odds of reaping benefits is modest, at best.

No, you can reap benefits as long as both you and the other party benefit together. True altruism is when you gain nothing or even lose something to let another person gain. There is no such thing as a selfless good deed. Everyone's motive at some base level is inherently selfish. That's just how people work. And someone who goes through 4 years of med school and residency with a half a million dollars in debt certainly isn't going to be altruistic then as they are deluding themselves they will be now.

That would block out a bunch of the legitimate nontrads though

True. Good point.

Dude, why are you here? What do you hope to accomplish?

Advice on getting into med school in my situation.

Advice on getting into med school in my situation.

Build a time machine, go back, tell yourself to get your **** together, try real hard, still fall short because you're a bad student.

My thoughts is this, if someone can't stand the pressure of waiting 3 days after making a account, then medical school is the least of their concerns. Trolls are more for the moment, if they have to wait, then they will either give up or realize how pathetic they are.

If mandated to use a edu account, then there are real repercussions to trolling, as now people can be outed for it. Quality of the forum and posts will go up dramatically.

Last I checked no one is asking you to read this thread. If you don't like it, you're welcome to leave and never come back.

Come on man, don't be in denial. Admit it. Admit that you like the title of "MD".

There is only one person in denial here, and I'm pretty sure it isn't me.

You've been given advice. Lots of it. And you've chosen to shoot down every bit of it. You were correct in your first post. You ARE hopeless.

OP what are you willing to do to get what you want? How much time, effort, and sacrifice can you justify to become a physician?

One has to do something with their time on earth. If we find work that uses our talents while helping others, so much the better. The debt I paid for my medical education was service that I still cherish. The NHSC allows for service, altruism and freedom from debt.

How embarrassing. I'm still responding to a banned poster!

This post is probably closest to true altruism i have seen on SDN

 

[JustaDO]

The real issue I see is this, people like Goro and gyngyn are wasting time on trolls like this when there are legitimate people needing help. A .edu mandate forces people to either not act like a ***** or being a troll in fear of being outed.

Harsh consequences? Assuming that with a .edu account your in college, by this point in time, if your still trolling, the future probably isn't that bright to begin with.

Yes, but what about non-trads who are out of school?

Then more then likely, they aren't applying to medical school then.

That or even a 72 hour wait to post will significantly lower the amount of joke accounts. What's to stop this cubicle failure from making another account and going again?

Picture ID? Though some people would only seek help under anonymity...

So that's what that happy sound was off in the distance! Oddly, I could swear I've seen the OP's name somewhere before. I don't think that he was a troll so much as a very immature kid. he sounds like my 13 year old.

What did Prospective Kidd do to get smacked by the 'hammer??? I didn't see anything inflammatory here.

Picture ID means nothing since I can find a picture of anyone and paste it over a ID I find on google images.

A .edu or .org or a work email account means that for sure, someone can be linked to that email, as one has to log in to said account to verify registration and I doubt people are hacking emails for the sole purpose of trolling SDN.

 

[JustaDO]

It's not like you're future is so much more amazing either. Climb off your high horse.

Maybe, but I don't dream of being you, but I know you dream of being me in your Ford and cubicle.

I think it was that thread about getting into a relationship with a nurse as a volunteer. Someone must not have liked the, "pull her hair and smack her ass" comment. That's really the only thing I saw that was somewhat offensive.

 

[Toutie]

Wow, are we going to have 3 bans in the same thread?

 

[JustaDO]

I actually drive a BMW. My gross salary is 75k not including benefits and bonus. I'm making now what you'll be making in 4 years in residency with only room to go up as long as I do well in my job. Tell me, whose jealous of who again?

Yes, since QA analysts are the top dogs in the pharmaceutical industry, I'm sure the sky is the limit for one in your position. Ironic thing is I don't recall making a post aspiring to be a QA analyst, but I recall you making a post aspiring to be a physician. Truth does hurt.

More than likely, maybe. But I'm sure there are legitimate non-trads who have been out of school and are coming on here for advice before they've enrolled in a post-bacc or whatever. I like the .edu or a verifiable work email (.org, .mil, etc).

A verifiable email .org/.mil/.edu will make most people think twice about what they post. Take away protection of anonymity, and the truth comes out. Not saying that people needed to be outed, but if the threat was there, it would make people think twice about their behavior here and improve the quality of posting overall in the long run.

This can be a forum of professionals helping others in the path to a medical career or it can be a forum filled with those truly needing help missing out, while trolls like OP and dreamatroll get 100+ responses with their antics.

That's not how it works.

Banned = permanent

Post Hold = can't post for X period of time/account is deactivated (this is what you were on most likely)

Admin action doesn't come with auto IP ban; if it did, we wouldn't have so many reincarnates (and since many post from school, you'd have a lot unable to post because of others actions).
