Hey everyone, it’s Medicine Mondays again. Today I’m going to talk about “Pre-Match Purgatory”. Pre-Match Purgatory It’s February 3rd, 2020. According to the NRMP Match Timeline, Rank Order Lists last date to certify is February 26, 2020. Then Match Day is March 20, 2020.

For example, if I get at least 5-6 hours with the mask, I don’t feel horribly tired. If […]

Hey everyone, it’s Medicine Mondays… on Tuesday. Today is just a short post to explore “What is gustatory rhinitis?”. Gustatory Rhinitis? Yea. It’s kind of funny, but ever since I can remember, whenever I ate too much I would start sneezing and my nose would start running. I never really understood why. It’s kind of becoming a running joke between my wife and I because whenever I start sneezing after we eat she would know […]
