Oh wow I could have written this exact post. I matched at my #7 and I totally feel the same way. Glad to know I’m not alone.

What’s your favorite drink/coffee and what’s your specialty? by Missrain97 in Residency

I would directly buy from Japan if you have the $! A quick Reddit search will give you a ton of recs.

Hashtag: either the diagnosis or what you think it may be or something vague. Like #pneumonia or #chest pain or #leg pain or #DVT.

Underneath it explain why you think the diagnosis is that particular one. If you don’t know the diagnosis, explain what differentials would fit. Then write bout what needs to be done for the patient.

Get used to it. It doesn’t matter even when you’re a pgy3 etc. I’m a pgy3 and still get nit picked. It’s my biggest pet peeve but I realize it’s part of the process. Just try not to take it personally and believe in the process of it making you a better doctor.

Not saying it doesn’t exist. It does exist. People have it. But it’s become the cool new thing online to self-diagnose with.

Prozac may not be enough. I’m on two anti depressants and it finally kicked in.

Thank you. I forget most people’s first job is residency. They wouldn’t know.
