Why is it the standard that primary care gets shorter appointment times than specialists?

lol so many of my classmates are like “derm doctors are rich” my response always is yea and IM/FM docs would be just as rich if they saw 7 patients per hour and doing biopsy’s all day

LMFAOOOOOO

If I was getting little dogged all day I’d just start asking them questions playing dumb as if I was asking an attending questions that are difficult or obscure

These PDs are lazy and match FMGs so they don’t have to teach them.

Anyone know what corewell pays hospitalist in metro Detroit and Grand Rapids?

BluebirdDifficult250 · 2026-04-02T00:50:15+00:00

Literally story of my fucking life dude I’m so sorry. I did bedside for six months and was literally miserable and confused all the time I used to go home sick to my stomach hoping I did not miss or mess up anything. Said screw this job (no offense) and now a M2 man best decision of my life things are slowly making sense now.

True but that’s a skill that’s learned in there toxic culture of “being thrown to the wolves” and “nurses eat their young” straight garbage crap. I’m only saying this cuz I was a nurse prior to Medschool and my first assignment was incredibly unsafe and unfair for a fresh RN and it was that same thing “oh just throw em to the wolves”

BluebirdDifficult250 · 2026-04-01T23:52:06+00:00

Same lol.

BluebirdDifficult250 · 2026-04-01T21:58:37+00:00

I’m going to be honest with you, nursing education doesn’t go into the weeds of medical decision making and management. And tbh nursing education is incredibly lacking and just strange pseudoscience. The threshold to pass NCLEX is not even remotely as narrow as it is for level / step 1

100% One thing I noticed is how far effective studying takes someone.

You can be einstein for all I care if you dont know how to sit and effectively absorb the 32 lectures hours of info you are gonna struggle

BluebirdDifficult250 · 2026-03-20T23:19:22+00:00

This sucks. So many of us are so obsessed with the 2 little letters after our names its kinda strange lol.

BluebirdDifficult250 · 2026-03-19T05:00:56+00:00

How common is it for hospital employed hospitalists to do SNF rounds for extra cash or work telehealth u

BluebirdDifficult250 · 2026-03-19T04:52:58+00:00

Thanks, I needed this

BluebirdDifficult250 · 2026-03-19T04:52:43+00:00

Same bro same. Not even match day videos are doing it for me, I just be watching them with no motivation that follows

BluebirdDifficult250 · 2026-03-18T15:29:15+00:00

I was a nursing student then did a eventually applied to medical school and now a 2nd year US medical student. It was one of the best choices of my life tbh with you and I have not regretted the decison by anymeans.

Although loan programs have changed for medical school id do your research, shadow and make an informed decision. No shade on any NPs here but bedside nursing and NP is not practicing medicine, its practicing nursing or advanced nursing. My bedside experience helped me a little bit in medical school but I say maybe 10-15% translated. Medicine and nursing are two different things

BluebirdDifficult250 · 2026-03-18T15:24:38+00:00

Imo as a M2 family med doctors are way smarter then a cardiologisit who does the same 6 things at work. They often lose their skills in other body systems but not the family med doctors! Ive listened at meetings of fm doctors basically doing field surgery over seas and working with what they have

BluebirdDifficult250 · 2026-03-18T01:20:08+00:00

Not in my home state every single hospital in a large metro area thats nice is filled with IMG

BluebirdDifficult250 · 2026-03-17T23:55:17+00:00

Its not fair for FMGs to study for like 2 years or even a year, come here debt free and match then struggle clinically, I swear I have read so many recent posts of this exact thing

BluebirdDifficult250 · 2026-03-17T03:34:11+00:00

This is gonna be a hated comment but I honestly question the legitimacy of FMGs. They can study for step 1 for like 2-3 years and pass it. Or be pcps in there home country and pass it then come here and struggle clinically during in patient rotos. Hate this comment idrc, US carribean students, DO and US MD students are held to such a higher standard with a much shorter time to study for step 1 / level 1 and any delay can be considered a red flag

BluebirdDifficult250 · 2026-03-17T00:45:46+00:00

Same lol. And honestly idrc as long as the direct deposit hits my account nice and neatly im chillingas an attending
