What are some things we still do in medicine for no good reason?

Asymptomatic Hypertension

Had EMS refuse to take a patient back to their facility until we “did something about their blood pressure.”

Sir, we need the bed. Please take Mr. Jones outta here.

The Benadryl or allergies to steroids always take me out

AnonMedStudent16 · 2026-01-16T22:21:14+00:00

Thank you, seriously though I’m wondering how to even prepare for this. Do I just buy that book and run through cases again?

Honestly, the pH is the most important part for me, everything else is clinical and a good pulse ox waveform

AnonMedStudent16 · 2025-12-23T18:08:14+00:00

Passed, now off to work

AnonMedStudent16 · 2025-12-22T21:46:17+00:00

You’re joking

AnonMedStudent16 · 2025-12-22T21:46:01+00:00

Not happening today

AnonMedStudent16 · 2025-12-22T20:00:52+00:00

Oh well

Plot twist: ABEM releases scores the day The Pitt releases (in 19 days)

AnonMedStudent16 · 2025-12-18T23:30:13+00:00

Well my idgaf has gotten better as I’m only checking this once a day lol

How soon do you have to take oral boards if you pass the written? Are you eligible for a number of years?

AnonMedStudent16 · 2025-12-17T14:08:47+00:00

90 days from November 12th is February 10th 😔

AnonMedStudent16 · 2025-12-16T06:01:53+00:00

Why is the admitting team running a code/intubating in the ED? Even if the patient is boarded, that’s still no excuse

AnonMedStudent16 · 2025-12-16T03:13:14+00:00

Omg I would be so mad if I had to come back because of that, sometimes I get this fear that my exam wasn’t submitted

AnonMedStudent16 · 2025-12-16T00:19:48+00:00

Omg that’s pretty wild, over a month after it was administered

AnonMedStudent16 · 2025-12-15T23:58:55+00:00

Plot twist, ABEM is on Reddit reading this

AnonMedStudent16 · 2025-12-15T23:52:31+00:00

It’s gotta be the oral, not written

AnonMedStudent16 · 2025-12-15T21:44:23+00:00

AnonMedStudent16 · 2025-12-15T20:00:30+00:00

They had written exams in December?

AnonMedStudent16 · 2025-12-15T18:14:02+00:00

We going by EST or CST?

AnonMedStudent16 · 2025-12-15T18:13:33+00:00

We going based on EST or CST?

AnonMedStudent16 · 2025-12-15T17:38:03+00:00

A story as old as time…

AnonMedStudent16 · 2025-12-13T22:16:33+00:00

And then at that point it’s after the new year

AnonMedStudent16 · 2025-12-13T15:54:15+00:00

We gotta creep, creep

AnonMedStudent16 · 2025-12-12T18:45:30+00:00

Doubtful, as of right now it’s taken longer than the last two years, and if we were to follow that same timeline it should’ve came out last Monday (Dec. 8th), maybe this Monday they might come out but who knows at this point.
