Can you be pregnant during all 4 years of residency if you want lots of kids but bio clock?

[streampaw]

Alright you guys, you know what? I have had enough of this. How do I freeze my account and delete all of my posts? All of this bullying is enough. I will pursue MD/phd so I can get a full ride to med school, then pursue dermatology so that I can be working part time and making 200k from working part time. This is my plan. Now, I will go make myself competitive for MD/pHd programs, and then when I actually get into either MD/PhD program, or harvard, or a regular med school on a full tuition scholarship, then you will all be jealous of me.

But 180k is not enough. I would like to match into derm and make 300k+. That is better. Plus, If 300k makes me work full time, I can work part time for like 220k. Like 30 hours a week.

The way the healthcare delivery system is changing these days--and the dismal predictions for the near future--by the time you graduate (after 4 years of undergrad, the inevitable 4 application cycles you will endure, 8 years pursuing MD-PhD, a TY, and then 3 more years in derm.) if all medical care hasn't switched to nurses by then, dermatologists will be the lowest reimbursed specialists by far. You will be lucky as a government employe of the single-payer system to be pulling 65K.

Bank on that

 

[streampaw]

So you're going into medicine to serve yourself? WTF? You need a reality check.

Why not? What is so bad about it, if it serves me? Money serves me.

 

[Dogcat1290]

How exactly do I lose it? It is a part of my personality. The only way I can lose it is by faking that I don't have it, when I do. I will definitely not be working 80 hour work weeks in residency, I will have to pick one that has a better lifestyle. I'm not there to work like a cow to serve people, I am there to have a career in order to serve myself.

.... Ok guys I take it back this person is crazy trolling and if this is real God help us all

Are you sure about this? I thought obama care means doctors will get paid more. Puh lease, tell me where I am wrong on this. Everyone will have to pay for insurance.

Again, if you think that I did some magical calculation and arrived at 180k you are mistaken. I used your own figure from earlier in the thread. Personal injury lawyers can make up to 7 figures per year. I think you would enjoy it much more.

 

[streampaw]

This is real. I don't understand what is so bad about me. Please explain. So what if I want to serve myself and earn lots of money? Everyone wants to. Medicine earns the most money. And I won't hate it, I will enjoy it, so why not? I don't see what I am saying wrong

I feel as if ego lacks the depth of this mentality. Perhaps hubris is more accurate in this case.

A larger fraction than those who go from pre-med to derm residency -- whatever the reason, I would say. First off, anyone can become a personal injury lawyer. You won't have to compete for a personal injury residency. Your pay will, however, depend on your ability to do that job "well". I know that's scary, but believe in yourself. You can do it.

If you're interested in the suggestion, why not do some research into it? Maybe go find a pre-law forum and see what they have to say about it?

 

[C.glabrata123]

TROLL you shouldn't be a doctor. There are other ways to make tons of money and have a lifestyle. If you had truly researched medicine, you'd realize this career is not an easy path to money and fortune and the good life.

 

[streampaw]

http://www.lawyeredu.org/lawyer-salary.html

Personal injury lawyers in the median range make only 70-90k. Not enough for me.

 

[Nena01]

Please, look at my previous post. I am really good at telling people what they want to hear. I am really good at creating various personalities of myself to fit people's needs.

guys, we have a diagnosis! DDI

Streampaw, you will not make it too far in this profession with your arrogance. No matter how good of a liar you may be, most professionals in this field can see right through the BS. It won't be as easy as getting a silly ice cream shop job..

Goodbye streampaw - I am not reading any thing else that you post. And not responding. Who's with me?

 

[terp720]

Why not? What is so bad about it, if it serves me? Money serves me.

You just seem to have a complete lack of respect for the profession and all of the work that people have done to be able to get into medical school or MD/PhD programs or matching into competitive specialties. It seems like you just picked medicine because you want a cushy lifestyle and don't really care much about practicing medicine and helping people ("So what if I want to serve myself and earn lots of money? Everyone wants to. Medicine earns the most money. And I won't hate it, I will enjoy it, so why not?").

If you do succeed in getting into medical school, be prepared for everything you are planning now to change. Because it sounds like you will be very disappointed if things don't go your way, and there is a high probability of that, as there is for everyone else.

And now I am with wannabeMD.

If you become the next octo-mom, you could potentially have 24 kids after 3 births, spaced apart!

Personal injury lawyers in the median range make only 70-90k. Not enough for me.

Here's the thing. If you want to go into derm, you will have to be something like ~2 std deviations above the median in medical school anyway. What does a personal injury lawyer (or ANY professional) in the 98th percentile make in his/her field?

The takeaway point is this: what will you do if you are not in the outstanding, incredible 2.5% who are 2 sigmas from the mean in your medical school class? What happens then with the whole plan? If there is a backup plan that will allow you to achieve your life goals anyway, then you should go into medicine and I wish you the best of luck.

Have you taken the MCAT yet? Did you get the >98%ile score you hope to repeat on Step 1? I am not trying to discourage you..I'm just genuinely curious.

And if I do succeed getting into medical school? I will apply broadly, to lots of schools. Go ahead guys, dont read anything I post. Later on when I am a rich doctor working part time, you will all be jealous. Or when I get into a better medical school than you. Or when I am not paying off debt, and you are stuck paying off debt. Good luck, thanks for putting me down. But I will never give up, despite that all of you seem to put me down

Which specialty would you pick that would allow you to have the time for your family and the money to give them the life they are "already demanding"?

 

[streampaw]

Maybe PM&R, or radiology (work from home). Possibly ophthamology.

Yes

 

[notbobtrustme]

I don't think you understand how hard it is to do what it is you want to do.

If you're at a 4 year university, count off everyone in your class in your pre-med classes. Less than half of those people will make it to any medical school. If you truly intend on doing an MD/PhD, you might be the only one from your school that does that.

Take all the schools in your state (unless it's a big state like California). Less than 10 in your graduating class across the state will be able to land a Dermatology residency. Can you honestly say you are that smart and that dedicated to get there? Before you answer, the answer is no.

 

[wiloghby]

I guess what I'm saying is... if you're thinking, as a pre-med, "I need to go into medicine so I can be a dermatologist" ... you're going to have a bad time.

I hope that if you get into medical school, you do your best no matter what. And I hope for your sake that translates to dermatology. But if your whole life plan depends on it.....it's going to suck. I would say: try to appreciate the aspects of medicine that are common to all specialties. If you dig that, then do your best and if you end up competitive enough to land a derm residency, so be it.

Best of luck.

[Nena01]

Do us a favor and let us know when you get into Harvard, with a full-ride scholarship and consequently match a dermatology residency. Also, when you are working less than other residents, because you'll be busy having 4 perfect, rich children. I challenge you to prove us wrong.

Until then, stop posting. No one wants to hear it anymore.

I, too, vote that we stop reading!

 

[Chipster.]

You got a 3.6 while taking pre reqs at a community college. You will be lucky to get into any medical school. How is this not clear to you? Why do you think you're deserving of a full ride to a top 10 school?

 

[Flashfan]

So rich pat-time doctor, I am curious, how do you think you will make this huge sum of money working part-time? First, you will need to get into a medical school, rock all the way through (including third and fourth year clinical rotations where your school may discover you have no empathy and are possibly a sociopath). You will then need to interview and get into a residency which will require those that interview you to actually like you and want to spend several years in their company. If you then make it through residency without disgrace or dismissal due to your said sociopathic tendencies and narcissism, you will need to find a job. What group is going to want to hire you part time when they can get another rock star doctor to work full time? Every doctor I know that is part time has already established themselves. They make money because the get plenty of referrals and are known as the best in their field. It is not realistic to start as a part-time attending. So you will now be working your butt off with four precious babies growing up being raised by someone else.

Well, that's not good. Hmm. Then I guess I could just start a private practice and set my own hours. I will be an MD, after all.

 

[DrCharlemagne]

I will be an MD, after all.

Likely not.

Also, I got admitted without lying once. In fact, I've never lied to get a job, and most of my positions have been far more interesting than food service.

despite what I just said, I will respond to this and I hope you actually read what I'm trying to tell you and realize it's not an attack.

I'm not trying to put you down or say you won't be able to do it. I am trying to tell you why you are offending people on this site who have worked hard to enter a field that they are very passionate about, but yet you seem to have very cloudy motivations for pursuing. Telling people that you're doing this just to help yourself isn't going to win you any points in a field the requires service to others.

I have continually said that you should focus on your studies and your activities, rather than posing hypothetical questions that are 12 years down the road. You have ignored the majority of the actual advice given to you.

You can plan all you want, which is fine, but you need to have a backup. And you need to be comfortable with the alternatives. You don't seem to be comfortable with any of the alternatives though, which is why I feel like you're going into medicine for superficial reasons and you don't fully understand what it will take to get where you want. If you can absolutely not see yourself being in debt, that is a problem and you need to be prepared to not get a full scholarship, despite how outstanding your resume may be in 4 years. If you can absolutely not see yourself in a residency that isn't derm, you need to be aware of the reality of what other residency and the matching process is like.

Work hard in college, keep doing your activities, and see where that gets you. If you truly want to practice medicine, then hopefully you will get there. But I do not suggest exaggerating and lying on your applications/interviews. Because if you are lying to them, then you're also lying to yourself, and that could mean that you're really not going to enjoy what you're getting yourself into. People who truly want to go into medicine do not need to manipulate others in this way.

 

[streampaw]

So is every other medical school applicant.

So? And those people get into medical schools, just like I will.
