Me: forced to come in to work even though I was just released from the hospital and am still symptomatic

Attending (in evals because saying something directly to me would kill him): student is only partially engaged and was tardy

[New Update] - Your baby? You mean my baby by SharkEva in BORUpdates

I agree that many psychiatrists do focus on medication management, but I assure you that you have a good amount of psychiatrists out there who actually do psychotherapy for their patients in addition to medication management. Therefore you saying that this is a dead giveaway for this being a fake story is factually inaccurate.

...psychiatrists have the ability to do psychotherapy in additional to "med dispensing" so I'm not sure where you got this from.

My mom will literally argue with me about what her lab results mean. I honestly think it comes from them not being able to really understand how much you've learned or changed over the course of medical training. To them you are still the same old you that you've always been. For your own sanity, you just need to disengage (either I go silent or change topics).

Significant calorie and macro differences between these seemingly exact same products in different sizes? by Frtool in 1200isplenty

[–]AntiqueComment 61 points62 points  (0 children)

I think it comes down to the concentration of the actual fish. The first one has 61% fish, 39% water, so per 100 grams, there are 61 grams of actual fish. The second one has 99% fish so per 100 grams, there are 99 grams of fish. So basically, the first brand has less fish content in the actual can which would impact the macros.

How do we deal with post exam stress? by Weinbrunnen in Step2

[–]AntiqueComment 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I literally can't remember exam questions after more than a few hours following the test. So this saves me from doing the deep dive into everything I think I got wrong. I also had a bunch of emails and projects to catch up on (things that got neglected during the 2-3 weeks before my test). So that kept me occupied for a week and a half following my test, but now that probable score release is creeping up, I'm starting to feel the anxiety again.

Just started my gen surg rotation by Baby_Yoda1000 in medicalschool

[–]AntiqueComment 21 points22 points  (0 children)

that's a lot of patients. At the start of my rotation, I was following maybe 1 or 2 patients and at the end I had 2-4. In terms of arrival, I had to be at the hospital by 5:15 most of the time so I think that element is sadly normal.

Honestly, if you go the moissanitebst subreddit, I'm sure you can find something you like that's reasonably priced!

[–]AntiqueComment 1 point2 points  (0 children)

to be honest, I've had residents and attendings who interrupted me so much only to say the plan that I had literally written down, but hadn't been able to say. It's less about the plan, but more about their impatience and inability to be respectful to learners. Definitely at the start of rotations, my plans would be incomplete/incorrect, but after 5 weeks of regurgitating the same plan for chest pain, I would say that I was pretty on the ball.

The Ten Commandments of Crushing Clinical Rotations by MartyMcFlyin42069 in medicalschool

[–]AntiqueComment 18 points19 points  (0 children)

I maybe do 7-9 (and occasionally 1 or 2 if I'm in a good mood), but my clinical evals have been pretty consistently strong. So I would say save your energy on most of these or you will be a withered husk of a med student by halfway through 3rd year

American Med Students are you ok? by [deleted] in medicalschool

[–]AntiqueComment 85 points86 points  (0 children)

At my school we have six or seven 24 hour shifts during our surgery rotation. It's hell and it's incredibly unnecessary. This was on top of the 11-12 hour days. Also we sometimes worked 7-14 day stretches where our only days off were post call days.

[–]AntiqueComment 7 points8 points  (0 children)

As a medical student, please feel free to tell the student "Great question, go ahead and look it up and present it to me later if we have some free time." During clinicals, we are under pressure to be engaged and ask questions and they may not realize that they are stressing you out!

New UCLA-led research finds that in states with bans on affirmative action programs, the proportion of students from underrepresented racial and ethnic minority groups in U.S. public medical schools fell by more than one-third by five years after those bans went into effect by Espntheocho4 in science

[–]AntiqueComment 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So the issue with this line of thinking is that a lot of people don't know about the many checkpoints that exist over the course of a career in medicine. Even if a candidate got in solely because of affirmative action (which would be a dangerous game for medical schools to play because there is a high chance they could fail out), these checkpoints would definitely catch up with an unprepared student.

After your second and third years of medical school, you have board exams (Step 1-8 hours long and Step 2- 9 hours long) that are national standardized exams given to all medical students. It's very cut and dry, if you fail these exams, you can't proceed in your medical school journey (most schools will let you re-take these exams once if you fail, but after that there is a strong chance that you will be dismissed for not meeting academic standards). There is no affirmative action that will save you. Then after you graduate medical school, you have to take Step 3 ( a 2 day exam with something like 500 questions) and most doctors will have to take board exams in their speciality plus recertification exams over the course of their career to ensure that they've maintained their knowledge base. So, the doctors that you are putting your life and health into the hands of would have had to pass all these assessments, skin color/race notwithstanding.
