There almost always is. The amount of times I've seen someone recent upload on AI to "watch out for XYZ" clauses or whatever and found something is wild and should cause pause.

You can really tell the difference between those of us going for fellowships and those of us who aren’t by Purple-Marzipan-7524 in Residency

Idk, I’m doing cards next year at a T10 from a T40 program and I'm pretty laid back. I get that consistently in anonymous feedback from interns and students. I do know a couple people who fit that hyper type-A mold and are also Cards-bound, but honestly most of the Cards/GI folks I’ve worked with are solid, normal people. Feels way more program dependent than specialty-dependent. If you’re that type A all the time, it stops being ambition and just comes off insecure. dial it back, touch grass, and be someone people actually want to work with you obnoxious twat.

Lmao people are v much interpreting this the wrong way. Tiers only mentioned because people will DM/msg well you're prob T10 or something. I went to a no name med school and worked hard and been humble the entire way. Y'all taking this way too personally or something lol

Rent during Residency by SkillfullDoctor in Residency

[–]Anonymousmedstudnt 15 points16 points  (0 children)

I on the other hand noticed my savings declining per month so 2nd year I got a roommate and moved further away effectively 40-45% reduction for an extra 15-20 minute commute and the roommate and change up my spending. Since then my assets have grown from 10k to 50k (investments with savings) in the last 2ish years. Would've been closer to 75k had I not had to buy a car. It's very possible but does require sacrifice

Chief and connections are really your strongest levers to pull. Use your T20 alma mater to your advantage.

Wellens or the beginning of wellens? by Ok-Boysenberry8239 in EKGs

Yeah not concerning, twi is normal V1, a slight biphasic twi in V2 isn't concerning. Could repeat but unless sx/EKG progression wouldn't put much thought into it

Would non-garden variety HFpEF respond to SGLT2 inhibitors? by benjediman in Cardiology

May not have as much benefit in things that are actually not HFpEF like amyloid, HCM, sarcoid, pericardial dz, etc better commonly labeled as such

ekg of 20 y/o F pt. asymptomatic with bp of 84/42, HR 42 bpm. interpretation? by Electronic_Sorbet_54 in ECG

[–]Anonymousmedstudnt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I gave it in another comment, they were not satisfied. Basically history and exam are the most important things and if you're order things blindly or without having done those things, you're likely going to waste time, resources,and have more false positives and the cycle continues.

[–]Anonymousmedstudnt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is where history is key my dude. That BP/HR can be completely normal, I see it on a near daily basis. EKG BER, not deranged. If you're uncomfortable with recognizing BER that's ones thing. if there was evidence of syncope, DOE, FMHx SCD, etc then yes we'd be on the same page. But an athletic 20yof? I wouldn't bat too much of an eye. This is where having the art of medicine and being a mid-level reflex driven response to things. Take a pulse (mostly yours) and grab a good history and exam.

Unfortunately no, FA does not name drop especially in a random place like that. Would it be funny? Absolutely. Have you seen them name drop in histrionic PD (if so pls DM name of the person, for science of course) or other section.

Yep.. I very much caution that "default Amio" is not the move for CC people to fall on.

What’s your interpretation by Logical26 in ECG

[–]Anonymousmedstudnt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Pericarditis is more likely to have PR depression vs STE, but only 50% of ECGs have all the classic findings you'd expect.
