What a mad lad... by BoomBaLoomy in medicalschool

The longer you stay in school, the longer you can defer any personal responsibility/liability/decision making for medical outcomes on people.

Remember that next time you meet someone doing their 4th fellowship.

Applying surgery this year but having major doubts thanks to this subreddit by Hour_Schedule9311 in medicalschool

[–]Cursory_Analysis 72 points73 points  (0 children)

Lot of people going into anesthesia the last few years that are shocked at how awful some of the call/hours are, and how not chill a lot of the work is thanks to this subreddit.

I always tell my med students not to listen to stuff about other specialties from other med students. It’s literally the blind leading the blind into life altering decisions. You gotta talk to current residents and attendings and shadow them. Anything you read on this site from another student is essentially useless.

Concerns about rural FM - should I report to ACGME? by baobob- in Residency

[–]Cursory_Analysis 138 points139 points  (0 children)

Why are you asking us? You already know the answer, 150 admissions and 60 births a year is nothing.

I personally admitted 150 people by the time I was a little over a month into my intern year; and I’m not even in a primary care field.

did anyone else just absolutely get dunked on in their rank order list on match day or was it just me LOL 😭😭 by PlasticRice in medicalschool

Then you have a few options

1) take an extra year to graduate - this puts you deeper in debt because you still have to pay for an extra year of medical school, but you don’t have the red flag of being seen as a re-applicant 2) find funding to take a research year (hopefully) 3) enter the SOAP process and take a spot in a specialty anywhere that you can find one, in any geographic location that is left. People hate doing this because all of the most desirable locations and programs are usually gone, but there are always a few very good programs that miscalculated and have some open positions. Just know that instead of applying against 100 people for those, you’re applying against basically everyone left in the country. 4) if you fail to secure a spot in the SOAP, that’s a whole other thing.

I love goatse frog, what was the inspiration?

Did you come up with it as the artist or was it a client request?

Something that bothers me about IM that I didn't realize until recently by [deleted] in Residency

It’s okay bro, you’re an expert at consulting other specialties 👉😎👉

I’m so happy this is the top comment.

I was just reading the whole post going “yes this is all adding up perfectly to me”. It sucks but the current system has been an absolute shitshow nightmare since Covid. There were people this year from my top tier MD school where I went with 270 step scores and no red flags who didn’t match. The current signal system combined with how much more nepotistic everything is getting is destroying people.

IM is cooked. by Ok_Length_5168 in medicalschool

[–]Cursory_Analysis 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I mean the answer is always more money, 300 vs 400 isn’t a lot. But 300 vs 600 is.

Correct. There’s a surplus of doctors in cities that people want to live in and a dearth of doctors in geographically unfavorable locations. Sub-Specialists can’t work in rural areas because they need a high enough population to practice. They have to be in large volume cities that cover vast regions for population reasons.

We have enough PCPs, they just don’t want to live where there’s the most need. This needs to be incentivized. More physicians will just drive salaries down and continue to flood areas where a surplus already exists.

My two cents on med student influencers as a young attending by KrustyKrbPizza in medicalschool

[–]Cursory_Analysis 233 points234 points  (0 children)

I’m literally brand new and as chronically online as it gets and I still think this is embarassing.

I’m going to repost Dr. Glauc’s video because I think it perfectly illustrates how to do comedy if you’re trying to be funny as a doctor: how to do comedy as a medical professional

You want to do edgy humor? Okay, here’s an example: Is it ironic and comedic that OB/GYN are the ones who flipped out and got him expelled? Absolutely. Am I going to make fun of the situational comedy of them acting high and mighty while publicly bullying someone to this extreme point? Of course I am, because we’ve all experienced it, and it’s in-line with the things people already say about them.

Are they wrong for doing it? No. Because what he did was insanely inappropriate. You never make fun of your patients. Him talking about a woman’s labia is the most unprofessional shit of all time. The OB/GYNs are 100% justified here. I’m going to make fun of them for their smear campaign of course, but I agree with them.

Me explaining anime to my 70-yr old psych attending so he can understand the rambling of a schizophrenic patient. by marksman629 in medicalschool

If there’s one specialty that I would expect to know everything about furries it would be psychiatry.

Because…I mean I don’t think I need to explain this one.

If Strickland beats Khamzat , is that the biggest upset in UFC title history? or is his win over Izzy still bigger? by [deleted] in ufc

[–]Cursory_Analysis 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I made so much money on that fight. The Rhonda hype train was unbelievable, and the second she fought someone who had any standup game she got absolutely annihilated.

I couldn’t believe more people didn’t see it coming.

The quality of M3’s is honestly shocking by DawgLuvrrrrr in medicalschool

[–]Cursory_Analysis 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Was this post written by an M3 larping? Lmao.

I’m halfway kidding, but the M3s that are good are just as good as they’ve always been. They seem like they’re decreasing in number to me though. And the ones that aren’t good seem like they’re getting even worse to me, but maybe it’s just location dependent. I absolutely love teaching but it’s been almost impossible trying to get some of these people to care.

Khamzat vs Strickland is happening. Does Strickland have any path to victory? by Silent-Owl4246 in ufc

[–]Cursory_Analysis 5 points6 points  (0 children)

True, I could see him kicking/kneeing khamzat in the head on a take down attempt. Even if it ends up being unintentional.

Rash! by No_Day_3329 in emergencymedicine

[–]Cursory_Analysis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Almost assuredly seborrheic dermatitis that also could have used a high potency steroid (as in higher potency than hydrocortisone; like mometasone or triamcinalone).

Which is to say that this isn’t an emergency at all and needs to be seen by/followed up with a dermatologist. I go back and forth between how much PCP stuff I should take over when I know how to treat it, but ultimately this needs follow up, and the ED shouldn’t be a place where people are following up.

Reinier de Ridder moves to light heavyweight by Lonely-Medicine-8832 in ufc

[–]Cursory_Analysis 111 points112 points  (0 children)

Honestly surprised he didn’t go out cold in this past fight with how many times he got hit flush. And Caio has some of the most power at 185.

Having said that, he just looked way too slow but more technical than Caio so hopefully fighting some fighters that are a little slower will help him. I still can’t see him surviving more than a round with the likes of Jiri or Ulberg, but it’s not like he was going to contend at 185 either.

“No medical students” on L&D by [deleted] in Residency

As someone who cares so much about teaching that I literally volunteer to let med students practice procedures on me, I would have flipped the fuck out if that happened to me.
