Believe it or not, some people actually come here for advice rather than entertainment.
MS repeatedly accepts the advice and thanks those who actually gave advice instead of armchair psychology; MS states he's accepted he's not going to great programs and reveals steps she/he's taken in home program including meeting with PD, research, and MS' registrar to seek out recent alumns all over country yet SDN continues to give their oh-so-sage wisdom;
in earlier post this morning MS states that he was up at 330a doing UWorld questions and later sees replies once again talking about ADHD, fairness, making excuses the same old points about why MS is not good enough for ABC because of XYZ reasons (look at earlier quoted posts if you don't believe MS); MS asks more questions about specific programs, SDN does not reply but continues to talk about how MS should accept criticism from nameless individuals who I doubt could even look MS in the eye (and if you want to sign an NDA to keep each other's anonymity lets Skype or meet face to face and see what you're made of);
MS predicts that many of SDN is already looking at previously bolded, italicized statement and about to dust off their keyboard once again to accuse MS of not listening/ not accepting criticism/ yada yada yada yada yada despite literally waking up at 330am to do UWorld after posting last night "thanks and goodbye" AKA doing this for MS' self not for acceptance of SDN; MS does not ragequit but instead realizes how hilariously pathetic it is to engage with people who stopped giving advice and are spouting their own beliefs for no good reason than to kill their time. In between ridiculous posts MS for the first time shadowed an interventional pain fellowship trained Anesthesiologist in clinic after MS' clerkship duties and is undergoing a project to analyze MS' institution's opioid prescription data in research endeavor. (AKA MS is doing things proactively instead of listening to the crap on this thread about fairness, equity, excuses, blah blah blah).
MS stands by the only accusation MS has made, that many of the armchair psychologists here may have a personality disorder/atypia (data suggest individuals who spend most of their free time on video games, internet chat rooms, etc are mal-adapted). For example look at the pathetic group-think liking of the message by @drdoze flippedly suggesting that individuals with ADHD are not "vigilant" --- note that this message by @drdoze had literally no substantive value to OP's plight, yet has the most likes of any message on this thread. Frankly, this is pathetic and @drdoze and people who liked that message (aka @Consigliere @eikenhein @DokterMom @lexidiamondz @nimbus --- with a combined total of over ***10,000 messages*** to a computer screen with their lovely keyboards [don't you people have lives to lead?]) should introspect as to why they enjoy that message or think its appropriate. Oh, right, because Anesthesiologists are only the cream of the crop and would never have an individual with ADHD or dyslexia or achondroplasia or whatever.... I'm sure @drdoze is the keeper of the standard for anesthesiology as a whole and is capable of attesting to the DSM-V characteristics of every single anesthesiologist and proctoring their vigilance on a daily basis. Oh wait, he's just a dude that's been posting on SDN for 10+ years.
MS comes back because of notifications and realizes pointing out hypocrisy is important, if not futile. MS did not call everyone armchair psychologists -- only those analyzing MS (For example,
@FFP at least genuinely tried to engage MS instead of carte blanche bloviating). MS wonders if
@vector2 has ever thought about the previous generation before old fart colleagues, and how they maybe btched about the old fart generation and their rebellion and rock music and 80s haircuts and wonders if
@vector2 has ever studied human nature, and how everyone thinks their better than the new generation. MS wonders if
@vector2 will ever see the haughtiness and arrogance in his/her posts. MS wonders if
@vector2's arrogance comes off in public and affects his interpersonal relationships. MS resignedly accepts, probably not and certainly possible.
For those reading who have not taken sides, you should remember that you are not perfect and the person across the screen could very well be YOUR physician someday. MS stands proudly on the bedrock of his many fancy accomplishments which MS cannot detail for fear of anonymity purposes, and no, the last 12 months are probably one of the lower points of MS' life (and good job SDN for kicking someone while their down!) If you don't have anything constructive to say, for your and everyone's sake please STFU.
MS accepts she/he themselves are being hypocritical by coming back to thread despite declaring themselves done with it. MS understands hypocrisy is part of human nature and wonders if other SDN users realize this. Importantly, MS wishes everyone here the best, truly and genuinely.
I suggest everyone here read a book called The Four Agreements. Many of the SDN users that have posted here and in countless threads repeatedly spread mental/emotional poison that literally does no one any good.
Yikes this is getting redic, and I have medicine to study and a life to lead. Pz.
