Do you have a dumb question that you're kind of embarrassed to ask in the main thread? Is there something you're just not sure about?

Notes -
I'll keep working on the USMLE thing in the background. Assuming in the 3 years it takes for my Core Psychiatry Training to end, it'll be worth the headache. I recently spoke to another Indian doctor in the same boat, and it took the ECFMG about 3 years to finish the process when he got the ball rolling, yet another reason not to sit around.
At least I don't have to give the NEET PG, fucking cursed exam, like a quarter is bullshit histopathology on top of that, and while I did learn ECGs eventually, those bastards are still pink blobs to me haha.
I appreciate you listening to me at my lowest, and I'm sure you're glad that me burning my mental health from both ends did pay off!
And yeah, I checked the rough geographic location, since in the UK training is rotational over rather large areas, and it doesn't seem to be an utter backwater. Close enough to Edinburgh that it's a short weekend drive I'd say, country roads allowing.
Fuck. I need to get a drivers license already.
Yes.
Also do keep in mind that the USMLE is a total horror show, my suspicion is that the switch to pass/fail for Step 1 probably puts "not entirely committed" people in a bind because it's harder to tell if they are excelling at the level they will need for still scored Step 2/Step 3.
That's still a headache for the future, but you can bet it's one I'll gladly accept if I'm given the chance. And that I'll pick your brains about it whether you like it or not haha.
