They all exist on different spectrums of severity and require different levels of accommodation, but don’t make anyone less human or valid

I can’t give you any false promises about it. Research is ongoing and there have been *some* advancements but to the best of my knowledge (I’m sure I’ll learn more on rotations and in residency) there hasn’t been any significant breakthroughs lately

Woah watch out, a person with zero medical background knows better than the person devoting a decade of their life to learning about medicine. Sit the fuck down.

That’s not something that medical professionals can do anything about. It’s the insurance companies that have providers in a chokehold

There actually have been great advancements in medicine recently. You just don’t subscribe to news outlets that cover those kinds of things. Not to mention, the biggest hurdle is getting past clinical trials, as they can take years before being eligible for public use

If you really look into it, our taxpayer money is actually going to bombing kids in the Middle East and building a ballroom to distract us from trump reinforcing the bunker and delaying the Epstein files, and failed attempts at regime change in Venezuela

I’m still a second year, so I don’t quite know yet what I’ll match into. I’m hoping that I go into internal medicine -> cardiology but I still have to go on rotations and see what I really want to do
