Definitely check with your program if they are able to reimburse any/all of your Step 3 fees. Some may, some won't, and some will not until you actually start. Our institution pays part of the fee, but you have to be in the HR system (a week before July 1). Anything dated before that is not...

Fingers crossed....but tomorrow should be my last chemo!!!!!! (will depend on labs that were drawn today) It has been a long haul, started these in July. Cannot wait to say, "this is it, I am done, last one".

Unless you are going into OB/GYN, don't sweat it. Unless you have a ton more comments like that, from different areas, don't sweat it. In my experience, selection committees are going to look at that, say "O, it's OB/GYN, they always do that" and they will move to the rest of your Dean's letter.

I would be willing to take a "booster". As someone who will be undergoing chemo next week, this scares me. I am thankful I can work from home, and thus can become a hermit once again. I know that my institution is one that is requiring all employees become vaccinated; our ICU is full. There...

I know that recently, our Pulm/CC fellows have been asked to take on some "out of the box" duties, as it has been "all hands on deck" due to COVID surges. Is this also a possibility?

The GME office is also where job cuts happen, in order to save a residency slot. At one time, there were 7 people in our GME office: The DIO, the Director, a finance person, an IT person, and HR person and two "general help however I can" person. Now, there are 4. But we were able to save 2...

I am sorry, I am recovering from surgery...will be a while before I can do much....

I am old! My first job started at $0.50 an hour. When I left, 3 years later, I was making $1.25. lol....

what I love is when I my phone decides that someone calling from my work is spam.....

my hubby has a gel heating pad thing...we just pop it into the microwave for like 2 minutes, and he lays on the bed with it. It helps him a lot between injections. (he has had a spine doctor tell him that what he needs is a spine transplant....there is no way to do surgery, it is too...

Thank you guys for all of the information, I did not know about the recommendations for later neutering on large breeds, like labs; that is why it struck me as strange. Otherwise, the contract was straightforward. The breeder has a good reputation; both parents are show dogs, with champions in...

@ajs513 and @genny Thank you!! I was worried it was a "crazy breeder" thing. She was worried about the breeder invalidating the guarantee if they neutered early, so I have a feeling they will wait. Not a big deal, I just worry (cause that is what I do best) about him getting out and lost...

He is pretty cute. And doing very well on potty training. and sleeping thru the night. I laughed at my daughter, she said it was like having a baby again....lol. We were discussing the breeder, and contract...she said that he is health/eyes/hips guaranteed, but that they can't neuter him...

This is Tyson!

I am waiting on another picture of him to post. All of mine have the grandbabies in them...so my daughter is trying to get one of the pup without the kids...lol.
