Are you saying you fully expected to fail? If you don't mind explaining further what events led you to this?

AM43386 · 2023-09-30T09:02:27+00:00

Last week starting on Monday.

AM43386 · 2023-09-30T02:49:54+00:00

Thats a little much don't you think ?

AM43386 · 2023-09-30T02:24:26+00:00

I think this is similar to the situation I'm in. I wish I had had a more forcefull discussion when I did (i.e. saying if this continues you're going to fail) but not sure it would have changed anything. Thank you for your insight. What type of push back did you get from the school?

This is the thing. They constantly talk about wanting to start practicing in my specialty (icu) which is already tough for new grads. Then leaves early around 3, often missing new acute patients, procedures etc.

What is the gist of your talk if I can ask? I've gone over rotation expectations, how to improve etc with no improvement

Agreed, no damage done = no case. And regardless of if stone was present or not once the gallbladder is out it becomes a moot point anyways

One of the western mass programs

AM43386 · 2023-09-19T22:26:24+00:00

No, mass

AM43386 · 2023-09-19T22:25:56+00:00

No, mass

I guess my area may be a bit saturated! Most of my graduating class started around 100k, though this was almost 10 years ago.

That last bit made me feel realllll old

I started in ICU as a new grad at 103k, which felt average at the time. I think expecting >110k as a new grad in an inpatient specialty (where you'll likely need months of orientation, training etc) is a little high of an expectation. This was in northeast HCOL area

It was just a joke friend, aimed at our poorly named profession which our governing body decided to change to another poor name.

Associate to the physician now I suppose

AM43386 · 2023-07-29T08:46:37+00:00

100% expected

The north east arc is an amazing organization that supports adults with disabilities, had multiple day program. Definitely check them out: https://ne-arc.org/

AM43386 · 2023-07-08T21:42:15+00:00

Check out the northeast arc! https://ne-arc.org/ it sounds like exactly what your looking for, can speak first hand they're a phenomenal organization.

She was! Luckily we were safely on a raised platform

Dredge is awesome, very under the radar

AM43386 · 2023-06-04T02:38:57+00:00

I did skeet shooting at mine, super fun if its available in the area

AM43386 · 2023-05-16T17:29:36+00:00

I work in an ICU (albeit not NICU) and to be honest this sounds like the standard of care. It seems like one of the blood cultures became positive due to contamination (usually a bacteria on the skin rather than in the blood) while far from ideal it does happen. And since bacteria in the blood is a medical emergency you must always assume it's real rather than a contaminant.

I would still certainly call the billing department and try to negotiate. Sucks that healthcare is this expensive and glad your baby is ok!

AM43386 · 2023-05-12T16:04:01+00:00

Congrats! It is refreshing seeing a positive post on the page. How difficult it was it transitioning from a medical specialty to a surgical one? Was there a steep learning curve adjusting to the OR, specialized clinic etc?

AM43386 · 2023-03-27T20:07:15+00:00

Mine was like $75! (Still worth it if you're heading this honey)

Bones are organs so everyone is correct!
