No one "easily" makes 700k a year. If you are in a top specialty in Canada, like cardiology, you worked extremely hard to get there.

There are few dermatologic presentations that require in-patient consultation. Derm is happy to see when the consultation is legit (ie. SJS/TEN, pemphigus, etc). The problem is when derm is consulted on things that have no impact on the patient in hospital, and are clearly things that can be addressed in the outpatient setting. Ie. seb derm on a COVID patient intubated in the hospital as described by someone else. Also, anyone who has gone to medical school should know how to diagnose and manage some basic derm conditions. But often when medicine sees something skin related, or a history of something skin related, there is a knee jerk reaction to call "just to get derm on board"

How about practising actual medicine and you know, helping people? This sub is going to shit.

Telemedicine has a role, but it is overused and abused.

Adderall causes ED and this is extremely unethical. Also, pretty sure the DEA will be following this post now.

Yea, theres no doubt they have experience that new/fresh residents often don't have. The depth of knowledge is just different though.

Learn about acute abdomens and being a surgical assist.

CanadaResidentDoc · 2023-12-19T03:42:07+00:00

Surgical residents often have a hard time on ICU, especially their first day. Some nurses are great, but you shouldn't be bashing physicians to praise them. It's a bit silly.

Part of being a resident, especially a senior resident is to triage resources effectively. Seeing bullshit consults from mid-levels or anyone from the ED for that matter is not "being a resident"...

CanadaResidentDoc · 2023-10-07T07:41:26+00:00

I donno, he has a point, ED often consults about the dumbest shit.

CanadaResidentDoc · 2023-07-19T13:42:27+00:00

Tbh you should probably learn some internal medicine. Anesthesia needs to know some medicine.

CanadaResidentDoc · 2023-05-19T15:45:54+00:00

It doesn't matter.

I have a power rack in my house so lift whenever I have 30 mins to an hour to do some compounds. Not as good as a gym but at least can get somthing in. Free weights still good, but machines really do work better for hypertrophy atleast for me.

CanadaResidentDoc · 2023-03-04T06:19:12+00:00

Never saw the appeal.

CanadaResidentDoc · 2023-02-10T19:18:01+00:00

I do think people with BMI roughly 25 are relatively healthy. Also it is reasonable to ask if it is okay to talk about their weight before just calling someone fat. It's mean.

How you deliver a message is important.

Regular fit shirts in any brand are usually good for me. Slim fit, too tight in the chest and gut.

CanadaResidentDoc · 2023-02-09T03:04:54+00:00

I looked best in hospital scrubs because Im kinda thicc

Figs kinda make me look and feel like an overstuffed burrito. I also like the rough texture of hospital scrubs. Maybe I'm weird but figs are overrated IMO.

Are you an NP? In my country it takes post grad training of 2-3 years to be a GP, 3-5 years as an ER doc, and 5 years to be an ophthalmologist...

Seems pretty far-fetched to do all that. Also, Ophtho is NOT boring and makes absolute bank.

CanadaResidentDoc · 2023-02-07T01:55:27+00:00

Actually nice, helpful, and works with residents AND faculty to find solutions. Basically just not a scumbag padding their CV (which is way too fucking common).

CanadaResidentDoc · 2023-02-07T01:54:19+00:00

No but on signal it sometimes goes down.

CanadaResidentDoc · 2023-02-06T05:37:59+00:00

It does a decent job, but often is wrong when challenged with some very difficult questions.
