How to deal with unsupportive people?
Hi guys!
I am currently an aspiring Hematologist, Immunologist, or Hematopathologist (still haven't decided). Meanwhile, here is a little bit about me: I LOVE medicine! I like helping people, and enjoy studying (I know, it sounds nerdy). I have a 3.96 GPA that I work earnestly hard for, but most of all I enjoyed the process. However, some people make me feel insecure about myself. I have family members who stay stuff like: "I can never see you as a Doctor," and always mention the...

Endocrinology vs Hematology
Hello! I would like some opinions on whether you think hematology can be done as a second specialty to endocrinology (endocrine being the first). I couldn't find many resources dedicated to hematological problems in endocrine disorders.
On a different note, if you were to choose between the two of them, which would you choose and why? Is there a big difference between hem and endo regarding lifestyle and pay?
Thanks! And sorry if it sounds stupid, it's just that I find both of them...

How easy is it for a DO to get a fellowship after an Internal Medicine residency?
I know IM lets you specialize and get a fellowship in a variety of specialties such as cardiology, pulmonology, oncology, rheumatology, ID, endocrinology, gastroenterology, hematology etc...
How accessible are these for a DO? Do most IM DOs go on to specialize or do they just stick with practicing general IM? After completing an IM residency are MDs and DOs on relatively equal footing?
I really think I'd like to pursue oncology but am not sure what sorts of odds I have of that actually...

wondering my chances
Any advice would be appreciated. I am a first generation college student with a 3.92 gpa (3.84 science gpa) and 511 mcat. I had all of my secondaries completed by the end of August and have had 1 interview and 6 pre-II rejections. Being from NH, I am OOS everywhere (except Dartmouth, but they have no preference). I devoted my time in college to shadowing, volunteering, tutoring, TAing, etc. and since graduating this past May have been working in a hematology laboratory at a prestigious...

A couple of hematology questions
Hello,
I'm new to these forums, nice to be here. A couple of hematology questions:
1) (R)CVP vs (R)CHOP? I read that both are given for NHL. Please tell me in short, practical terms when is one used and when the other.
2) PAD vs TAD chemoterapy?
I have read that both are used in multple myeloma. Please tell me in a short, practical way when one is used and when the other.
3) Multiple myeloma vs plasmacytoma vs Waldenstrom?...

Going into peds residency if you didn't enjoy peds outpatient rotation?
Hi all, I have kind of an odd question about peds residency and hem/onc
Thinking about going into peds hem/onc - I really love hem/onc, and I think the disease processes in kids are much, much more interesting than in adults (lots of solid tumors, much less hematology)
I do generally like kids. However, I didn't really enjoy my Peds rotation. My rotation was almost all outpatient (so pretty much just well child checks and URIs for a month) which I found very boring. There are also other...
