Medicine Mondays

Hey everyone, it’s Medicine Mondays again. Today is just a short post “Home Sleep Study Update”. Home Sleep Study Update So my home sleep study results came back. There was a nice detailed report, but the long and short of it is that I have mild Obstructive Sleep Apnea. Apparently, my pulse ox sometimes drops a little bit during sleep. Not to dangerous levels, but low enough to be a concern. Utilization of CPAP/APAP wasn’t […]

Hey everyone, it’s Medicine Mondays again. Today is just going to be a short post about my experience with the “Home Sleep Study”. Home Sleep Study? Yea.

Hey everyone, it’s Medicine Mondays and today I’m going to talk about something relevant to The Match… what to do if you’re “Below Average”. Below Average? Yea.

In a general sense, this probably means to the entire “medical student package” meaning your grades […]

Hey everyone, it’s Medicine Mondays again, and today is the followup to the post “Prelude to Next Week” and we’re going to talk about “What if?” What if? So the post I wrote was to think about a series of questions: What would you do if you didn’t go to medical school? The opportunity cost of 4 years of medical school and 3+ years of training (6 for me). What would you have done with […]

Hey everyone, it’s Medicine Mondays again. Today we’re going to talk about the importance of “Staying Lean”. Staying Lean? Yea. I don’t mean lean in terms of body habitus — although that is of course important too. Today I’m talking about staying lean in terms of possessions. Possessions? Yea. I’ve talked about it before, but the path of medicine usually is not a straight line. There are many places where you potentially will make some […]
