"Bound by law to offer gender affirming advice."
Rogan recently had on JP again (for like what seems the millionth time) and JP at one point starts to discuss an anecdote about a young woman (minor) who was rushed to transitioning by providers. Gives examples of how occam's razor and base rates were essentially ignored (i.e., the girl was likely on the spectrum with a slew of other fairly typical mental syndromes for a teenage girl) and instead of addressing the likely simplest explanations for her problems, she was told "Maybe it's...

(LOW SMP GPA) - Any former PCOM biomed students know about the acceptance rate into the DO program from the biomed program?
I keep hearing PCOM students AND staff talking about how students who had C's and some students FAILED courses, retook them in the biomed program, and still got accepted into the med school. One girl claimed to have a 497 MCAT and a C+ in a course in the program, and is now a second year DO student. I'm sorry, that just sounds too good to be true? Is it really possible? I have a low SMP GPA/MCAT and I finished my interview and am waiting for my decision. I just want to hear from former... Read more (Source: Student Doctor Network)

OCD Support for Medical Students
I am a medical student who has discovered that the crippling anxiety I have from intrusive thoughts and overwhelming (yet irrational) fears is actually OCD. And while I have been in therapy for this, my therapist suggested (and I thought this was a great idea) that I find a support group/therapy group for OCD. However I have noticed all of the groups that meet online are simply not my demographic. I don't want to join a group titled "stay at home moms with OCD", "teenagers with OCD", etc. I...

Helping People
I was all about the academics. Succeeded all the way through. Often still caught up in being the best or right. Then I got hooked on the money. Working as an EP seasons you quick. My mantra became making a dollar easier and more often. Sometimes though, I feel. And I like that. 20s year old girl with a different ethnicity, gender and from the opposite side of the tracks than me presented by ambulance following two syncopal episodes at work with a head injury and headache.

Office Policy-Tardiness
Hi Lindsey and Jessica, I do understand that the girls pulling for Lobel are frustrated. Dr. Lobel’s patients are contacted a day or more ahead of their appointments and are the only ones that are “fast-tracked” prior to their appointment. We started doing that about 2 years ago to speed up check-in since Lobel is the only provider who tends to run on schedule. All of Lobel’s patients are advised to come earlier than their appointment time but patients who tell the staff (when they are... Read more (Source: Student Doctor Network)

Do Med schools Offer Internships for Pre meds?
I am an undergrad, and I overheard this one girl in line at Dunkin who says she applied to this program as a medical intern for SUNY Upstate Norton College of Medicine (I am in Binghamton University, and the med school is also in Binghamton). She said she is familiar with a med student there, and they have zoom meetings for something. As vague as that sounds, I hope someone can answer what she does exactly. PLUS, are there any internships med schools offer to pre-meds? If so, can you please... Read more (Source: Student Doctor Network)
