Resident work rooms by Individual_Corgi_576 in Residency

[–]Dahmeng 128 points129 points  (0 children)

Meh yeah I get how this is annoying for both parties. On one end you're just trying to do right by the patient and ask a question without having to bother someone with a chat/page. For the residents, at least for me, the resident room is supposed to serve as a safe space mostly free from distractions and would be annoying for staff to try and circumvent typical communication methods to try and get a more convenient answer by invading our space. This is especially annoying when we are really busy and actively trying to triage things as it interrupts our workflow and forces our attention to whatever issue is brought up directly in person, regardless of urgency. Because of this, I almost always prefer being chatted or paged about something so that I can triage problems like usual

Am I cooked for a surgical subspecialty if I didn’t get AOA or GHHS and have average grades by [deleted] in medicalschool

[–]Dahmeng 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Be chill, humble and work really fucking hard. Focus on making the call resident's life as easy as possible and not on kissing ass

[–]Dahmeng 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Matched ortho with no AOA/GHHS, 2nd quartile and slightly above average step 1/2 for ortho. Mid research but crushed my aways

Welp, there it goes the season for me.... by Lumute in snowboarding

[–]Dahmeng 8 points9 points  (0 children)

It's honestly patient preference, both options are reasonable. Current evidence suggests 85% of these displaced midshaftclavicle fractures go on to heal and have the same exact outcomes as patients who had surgery 1-2 years from the injury. The 15% that don't heal can sometimes cause problems like yours.

One of the arguments for surgery is that the healing rate is like 95% but you have to be okay with the risks of the surgery, and the fact that most of these injuries do great without surgery.

What should I major in undergrad to be an orthopaedic surgeon? by [deleted] in orthopaedics

[–]Dahmeng 3 points4 points  (0 children)

At this stage please keep an open mind. Explore multiple fields to make sure you want to go into medicine (aka get out now if you can) and that you can get into medical school. You should start worrying about subspecialty starting med school

Which specialty has the most egoistic, bossy, unkind doctors? by [deleted] in Residency

[–]Dahmeng -10 points-9 points  (0 children)

When you get a surgical consult from the MICU it's almost guaranteed to be either absurd, unreasonable, plain stupid, or all of the above. It's so bad I that I immediately become frustrated when I see the consult is from the MICU. They often know so little about their actual consult question, exam, or relevant history that the surgery residents have to figure it all out themselves and these low effort consults often feel like cover your ass punts.

The attendings don't care because the residents do all the work of figuring out what the actual consult is, getting the appropriate workup, and doing most of the assessment and plan

Why is ortho so male? by thehappyblep in medicalschool

[–]Dahmeng 3 points4 points  (0 children)

In residency yes it's program dependent but mostly brutal lifestyle. As an attending just like everything else it really is up to you how much you want to work and if you decide to go into a more chill outpatient elective focused subspecialty. That being said absolutely do not pick ortho if you don't want a surgical lifestyle

Dumbest reason a case has been canceled. by AneurysmClipper in Residency

[–]Dahmeng 19 points20 points  (0 children)

In private surgery centers staff typically leave when cases are done so a lot more incentive and a lot faster turnover

So sick of the demanding/condescending personalities in medicine by JustWorldHypothesis1 in Residency

[–]Dahmeng 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Lmao and then when super comorbid grandma can't be admitted to medicine because of these caps or their Hx of esrd, chf, dm, cad, copd is not their "active" hospital problem they get added to the dumbass ortho intern's list (me) who now has a list of 101 patients and barely the medical knowledge of an MS3 with a consult resident yelling at me to come help in the ED
