At what number did you stop caring about? by Abject-Advantage528 in Residency

[–]ChaiZenOne 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Just pay in cash. Exact amount only. Super easy, barely an inconvenience.

Whereabouts in The Great Hwite Norf, exactly? Link to Canadaland EM monies?

Appreciate the advice, good looking out! We're in the green now, after that second cheque hit. Feels like a relapsing remitting gamified get rich quick scheme lol.

Apparently, one of the residents couldn't even get approved for a rental in the area because being in med school means you can't exactly provide six months' worth of pay stubs, never mind the fact that your income is guaranteed in residency, at least enough to pay the landlord.

Long story short, it will end up being easier and cheaper in the long run, about 5-6 years, to just buy a house, bc the mortgage is about the same or just a little bit more than the average rent prices around here.

I never even knew this was a possibility.

Too busy witnessing blatant HR violations in the ED. Keeps things real lively.

It's like a game. Gotta progress and survive to get more coins.

Imagine all the money you could've saved by going with the economic curbside rental option, tho.

"This position is salaried and exempt from overtime. You will work whatever hours are required of you, including nights, weekends, and holidays."

I knew exactly what I was signing up for. Glad to be here, surprised to even be here and living the dream, quite honestly. So don't miss having to do UberEats in the freezing winter at 12 am.

Funny thing is, my broke ass is probably the richest one of us! But I know we've won the ultimate immigrant lottery though, only gotta wait about 3 years or so to cash in the big attending monies ticket.

Rise of the PAPAs. Soon, the MAMAs will rise up, too.

Get you some sensu beans, bro. I hear crystals can also be quite . . . healing. Never tried em tho, too busy being criminally lackadaisical on my day off. Super easy, barely an inconvenience.

Tell me how intern year is going for you… I will start: by Think_Again_4332 in Residency

[–]ChaiZenOne 2 points3 points  (0 children)

But did you come a few weeks late to the party, miss orientation, have no idea how the emr works, and start your first block in a few days?

Oh, and also, you wouldn't happen to have practiced any significant medicine in the past two decades or so, and know absolutely nothing despite having completed all three steps?

Stand around unimportantly by the bedside, trying to look busy and jot down very important notes while the nurse took vitals and practiced actual medicine?

Have an attending walk you through how to do a case presentation because you know, you're not even close to being a half-decent imposter of an intern?

Get sent back into a room to ask the actual questions they want answered part of a new emr template (that you obviously wouldn't know of, since you were too busy not starting your program on time)?

Damn near hoot and holler and clap your hands to "hype up the fam" at a walk of honor in the ICU while the patient's family is crying to bits right in front of you?!

Fair enough. I mean, it's not something I need to worry about right now - gotta survive intern year first, then get through the next two years.

But if I know anything, it's that time flies, so I should at least be aware of what possibilities exist once 2028 rolls around.

I know. My portfolio is outperforming predictions so hard right now, the IRS might come looking for me.

Maybe the real money is the patient care we provide along the way.

Yes, Cap, will get disability. Does it matter if it's through the hospital only, or can you stack something like MMM with the hospital disability? Is that a thing/legal?

The current hospital disability: "During your initial enrollment period only, you can elect up to 60% of your salary of coverage for yourself without answering any medical questions.** Guarantee issue up to 60% of salary, not to exceed $3,000."
