Human LUCAS

I am, unfortunately, part of this system 🥲

At my own house with my so-called "husband". I open my computer, says I gotta write. Maaaaaan, this ain't med school, this is a stupid paper I'm forced to write. I threw it on the GROOOOUUUUNNNND

RFK: "saying I'm anti-vaccine is like saying I'm anti-medicine"

BECAUSE YOU ARE

I am having a difficult day and my husband surprised me with flowers and cookies when he got home, without even knowing I was having a day 😭🥰

God I love fall, I am such a pumpkin spiced BITCH

Honestly surprised it took this long, but here we fuckin are

Don't mind me, just having my first mental breakdown of medical school

Mmm mm mm mm mm, waxy

Right. Ugh. I hate this timeline

I mean it does go along with their pushing of women to have babies and stay home and be a housewife, homeschool, etc.
They're gonna be Pikachu-faced when birth rates plummet even lower.

My local coffee shop made me a drink that tastes like a spiced apple candle and I'm in heaven

Whenever I don't want to study, I remember that I'm the current administration's nightmare: a woman with multiple degrees, learning to be a physician, who does not want to bear children, and has a cat.
And that helps.

No longer considering an MD/PhD, whew

Omg I leave BlueSky for 6 months and you're married. Congratulations!! 🩷

So. Much. Studying. 😭

But it would be so coooooool 😭

Help, I'm considering an MD/PhD

Taking a social media break. Love you guys 🩷

I am *this* close to just starting to roundhouse people that deserve it.

This has been one of the heaviest Valentine's Days I've ever experienced. All the political news. I witnessed a harassment today and helped and supported as much as I could. A friend is also experiencing harassment.

I'm in fight mode. Nobody better fuck with anyone when I'm around.

*it's.

I can't wait until MAHA finds out that:

1) The FDA already does post-market research on approved drugs, and its tightly regulated

2) Real research actually takes time. They want basically meta-analyses about several different healthcare topics? That's gonna take YEARS, not 100/180 days.

lol, lol, lol 😭😭😭😭😭

Thank you guys. Seriously 🩷

-middle of my education watching the medical and academic (along with the rest of the) world crumble around me. I hope external forces keep my school open the next few years. Even if I don't get to participate in research.

I know I'm exactly where I need to be and where I'm supposed to be. *I* will be okay and I'm grateful to be here. I'm worried about research, I'm worried about what's going to happen with student loans, I'm worried about the integrity of my and my classmates' education. I don't want to be in the-

I'm so mad that I'm gonna be going through med school during the next four years. So, so mad.

So. If I may not be able to do much research during medical school because of all of these grant funding cuts. Can I match into a traditionally competitive residency program if I can't get publications?
What about my education in general?
What a fucking time to be about to start medical school.

If I end up a pediatrician I'm hitting you up
