Turning down that med school acceptance might cost more than you think. Listener “my initials are ARM” got into medical school—cue the confetti—but now that reality's set in, she's not feeling great about her only acceptance. The school is small, expensive, and far from home. Should she go anyway or risk reapplying in hopes of a better fit next year? MD/PhD students Michael Arrington, Shruthi Kondaboina, Jessica Smith, and M1 Maria Schapfel weigh the real costs of walking away from an acceptance, from the red flags admissions committees look for to the gamble of getting in again. They get honest about finances, family, and the very unsexy truth about how much the campus “vibe” actually matters. Plus, what to say if you do it anyway. Bonus: the MD/PhD students dish about why they took that road, while Maria counters with why MD is better for her.

In this episode, host Dave Etler has been (kidnapped? It's unclear) and replaced by his grumpy brother Dominic Etler, MD, Harvard, Class of '96. Confused M1s Megan Perry, Jay Miller, Cara Arrasmith, and M4 Matt Engelken nevertheless buckle down to address listener Giovanni's question about supporting his fiancé during her trip through med school. The group explores the challenges of medical school, including managing relationships, dealing with harsh weather, and maintaining mental health. They provide insights into staying sane during tough rotations, the importance of maintaining hobbies, and ways loved ones can offer support. The episode also covers the balance between professional and personal life, emphasizing the need for mutual support in relationships. Of course, Dr. Etler does not represent the views of the Carver College of Medicine. In fact, he's kind of a jerk (and, our lawyers want you to know, a satirical character).

What defines the unique mindset of an emergency clinician? It's not just the fast pace or the chaotic environment—it's the deliberate, top-down thinking that prioritizes patient safety over diagnostic certainty. This approach, though deceptively simple, often flies in the face of traditional medical training, which emphasizes comprehensive differentials and exhaustive workups. In emergency medicine, knowing what the patient needs often matters more than knowing exactly what they have. In this episode, we explore the emergency medicine mindset, the pitfalls of the bottom-up approach, and why experienced clinicians focus on acute interventions and dangerous conditions. Finally, we discuss how humility and strategic communication with patients can make all the difference in mitigating risk and building trust.

In a world where our minds are constantly crafting stories—about who we are, where we've been, and where we're headed—understanding the narrative becomes a journey of self-discovery. In this episode, Madelaine Weiss, a Harvard-trained expert in human behavior, unpacks the delicate dance between the ego, mindfulness, and the stories we carry. Through rich conversations and thought-provoking insights, we explore the human tendency to fill in the blanks, the evolutionary purpose of emotions, and the power of choice that lies between stimulus and response. As the conversation unfolds, we navigate the balance between letting go of what holds us back and embracing the tools that allow us to take control of our lives. This is a story of awareness, courage, and the profound realization that we are both the author and the observer of our existence. Takeaways Epistemic hunger drives the desire for knowledge. The ego can hinder the learning process. Mindfulness practices have significant health benefits. Spiritual paths can lead to similar destinations. Observation is key to understanding consciousness. Personal growth requires flexibility and new tools. Children's purity and presence are often lost in adulthood. The mind often creates narratives that can be limiting. Different experiences shape individual spiritual journeys. Seeking answers is a dance, not a forced process. Adaptive strategies can become overwhelming if not managed. We have more control over our emotions than we realize. Anxiety can serve as a useful signal for decision-making. Emotions are essential for making informed choices. Self-trust is crucial for resilience and personal growth. Life experiences shape our understanding of ourselves. We can revise our personal narratives to empower ourselves. Understanding our feelings can lead to greater self-awareness. The human experience is about navigating emotions and challenges. Finding meaning in adversity can lead to profound insights. Quotes "The mind makes up stories for us to live in. The more we know that, the better those stories can be, because then we're in charge of it instead of it being in charge of us." – Madelaine Weiss "Between stimulus and response, there is a space. And in that space is our power to choose. In our choice lies our freedom and growth." – Viktor Frankl, referenced by Madelaine Weiss "You cannot be that which you observe, for then who would be doing the observing?" – Madelaine Weiss GUEST's Info Madeline's Website Instagram @madelaine_weiss LinkedIn My Information ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Instagram⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠Review Me on Apple⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Share a Link to My Podcast⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Thank you so much for listening, and I hope this time you invested with me provided you with fruitful returns.
