"Emergency rooms refused to treat pregnant women, leaving one to miscarry in a lobby restroom"
Are these all EMTALA violations? Or more to the story here to make these scenarios 'defensible'?
Emergency rooms refused to treat pregnant women, leaving one to miscarry in a lobby restroom

Buying a house in medical school
Is it financially stupid to buy a house in medical school? My wife and I currently work, but neither of us will be working while in medical school because my wife is pregnant and due in 2 weeks, and she wants to be home with the baby. We have a really good amount in savings, and after looking at COL and the housing market in the area where we will be, the mortgage will be the same it would to rent a similarly sized apartment. Is buying a house worth it at this point? We are planning to have...

Giving birth before postdoc
Hello! I am currently in the APPIC postdoc process and received an offer from my top choice (and am holding this offer). I am currently pregnant and have a due date for middle of July. Most of the sites I applied for start late July/early August. This obviously is not ideal as I will have two or less weeks to recover. I will most likely need another two to three more weeks to recover. I disclosed my pregnancy to my top choice once they offered me a position and briefly talked with the TD...

molar pregnancy
Just curious, how urgently do you guys do these cases ? I'm trying to find some guidelines recommendations in relation to timing and urgency of procedure but not seeing much.
I started thinking about it because had gyn calling in middle of the night wanting to do D&A for molar pregnancy. bhcg~117k, otherwise vitals normal, labs normal, not bleeding, just have nausea and mild pain. is it really THAT urgent?
Anyone know of any guidelines for timing/urgency? (Source: Student Doctor Network)

Trying to get pregnant... how to approach anatomy/formalin exposure?
First of all, and I cannot believe I have to say this, I am NOT asking for your comments on my reproductive choices. kthx
I'm currently trying to conceive and I know anatomy lab is coming up soon. I've done quite a bit of reading regarding risk of formaldehyde exposure to the embryo/fetus, and I have found that the evidence is far from conclusive but there is enough cause for concern that I would like to take extra steps to limit my exposure. Knowing that the greatest risk of most...

“Service to others”
I understand what service to others means as far as what med schools expect but I have “served” my community as a volunteer EMT for a few years with over 2000 hours and the vast majority of people were under served and vulnerable population (from the homeless, to pregnant teens, to elderly, and disabled children) and I just don’t understand how this can only count as clinical experience and not service to others. I am not in any way trying to get out of finding another volunteer position as...
