Hi everyone My husband and I would like to buy a condo in Southern California. We're both residents - I have two years left, he has three then fellowship. We don't have lots of cash but could probably scrounge up 3-5% for a down payment. 100% financing would be better but I dont know if this...

Oh definitely, we have talked about it a lot. I guess I am looking for words of wisdom from surgeons to pass on - do you ever regret going into surgery? If you have families or other interests or whatever, do you think being a surgeon interferes? Or on the flip side, do you love it and find it...

Thanks for your reply! It actually isn't me, its my significant other... He is doing a general surg prelim right now and just really likes it and now he is worried that anesthesia will be too boring. I say everything gets boring after a while! I dont know - I want to support him no matter...

I posted this already in the anesthesia forum but I wanted your opinions too. What would you tell someone who is thinking about switching from anesthesia (already matched) to general surgery? Would you call them crazy?

What would you tell someone who is thinking about switching from anesthesia (already matched) to general surgery? Would you call them crazy? Have any of you been interested in surgery but decided on anesthesia instead? If so, have you ever regretted it? Thanks for your help!

Does anyone know if Duke has offered prelim interviews?

For skirts, do they have to be straight? Or can you wear the newer more flared skirts? They look more casual but are super cute.

What do you all think about those suits with the shorter jackets? I think they are so cute but I don't want to show too much booty, you know? Are the shorter jackets unprofessional? J crew has a bunch so I figure their suits would be professional enough?

My boyfriend received invites from U Mich, Mayo, and UF today. Yay!

Ruban, which transitional did you get an interview from? Congrats!

Do we know if it will look like how it prints out for us? They use super small margins when we print out our app. If that is how they print it out, it makes a big difference.

Hi everyone Do any of you anesthesia residents/attendings ever wish you were on the other side of that curtain? I have a friend who has been planning on anesthesia for a while but has recently found himself thinking of performing the surgeries... Thanks!

On the flip side, is August too early for an away rotation?

.

Any advice on this? Which programs are better for letters and which are notoriously bad (limited faculty interaction during rotations)?
