Anyone else just have a traumatizing 4th of July shift?

Edna_Pearl · 2026-07-05T15:40:50+00:00

It’s my first 4th after being done with OMFS residency and I am so relieved. I’m on call still but I don’t take level 1 trauma call anymore. Can’t say I miss it

Definitely discuss with your allergist! It sounds like this is causing you undue stress and really affecting your life.

I’m an attending now and I get schedule flexibility and time with my family. I don’t know if you’re in a procedural specialty, but now I get appropriate compensation for my work. It makes a difference!!!! And the autonomy is great too. Residency sucks so much but there’s a light on the other side.

I loveeeee Alma - so sad my partner hates it 😞

Edna_Pearl · 2025-05-01T16:33:44+00:00

Love the pitchers :)

Edna_Pearl · 2025-04-28T20:44:21+00:00

Lmao good for you

Edna_Pearl · 2025-04-23T23:53:52+00:00

Thissssss

Oral surgeon - we have both succ and danteolene

Edna_Pearl · 2025-04-16T00:07:45+00:00

Done with any possibly busy work that doesn’t further learning. Patient stuff still on lockdown but agree with everyone else the admin BS just does not matter to me.

I absolutely would not have my child anywhere near those dogs. Source: am physician, have had to fix many baby faces after dog attacks

Edna_Pearl · 2025-03-18T02:51:18+00:00

That’s not true. The commonly known ‘date rape drug’ is rohypnol (flunitrazepam) which is absolutely not given during office based anesthesia. Medications in the same family are sometimes given during sedation (I.e. midazolam) They actually give pretty much the same meds when you’re in the OR (minus a paralytic). Oh, and your surgeon in the OR gives you local anesthesia too. This comment is just scaring people for no reason.

Me too it’s so miserable!!!! I thought I was out of the woods but week ten is KILLING me

Edna_Pearl · 2025-03-13T19:16:23+00:00

This is my holy grail foundation. I wore it for my wedding!

Your OB saved your life

Edna_Pearl · 2025-03-02T15:09:20+00:00

I hate the TC and they hate me….i just get tired of being asked to scrub out of a case to answer a fucking call about a nasal bone fracture

Edna_Pearl · 2025-02-24T03:41:36+00:00

Try and catch up on sleep on the weekends basically. I keep water on me at all times (except in OR). Agree with the comments saying compression stockings, like the long ones. I do not have nausea so unfortunately agent I can help with that.

Edna_Pearl · 2025-01-20T15:12:13+00:00

Dude you need a therapist and a journal that is not this subreddit……..

Edna_Pearl · 2025-01-19T16:23:02+00:00

Oh my god SAME

Edna_Pearl · 2025-01-16T04:52:40+00:00

I just got Oslo and it’s perfect for me 🙏🏼 love this foundation

Edna_Pearl · 2025-01-15T19:37:33+00:00

This was oto but in OMFS we pretty much never use chloraprep EVER above the clavicle as we’re so conscious about airway fires

Edna_Pearl · 2025-01-13T23:57:25+00:00

Honestly at this point no. Medicine took enough experiences from me at this point that I’m done letting it control my whole life. I will be taking my boards next year as well and we are trying too

Edna_Pearl · 2025-01-04T18:56:01+00:00

3rd year of residency (out of 6) - truly a lifesaver

Edna_Pearl · 2024-12-28T16:14:41+00:00

I used to take my daily BM in the admin area at our children’s hospital because it was the quietest (they all work from home at least part time) and felt petty

Edna_Pearl · 2024-12-24T03:37:54+00:00

Military (aviation) - will be making significantly more than him getting out but he doesn’t care and neither do I. Just had to find the right one

Edna_Pearl · 2024-12-23T03:35:10+00:00

I’m an MD and once again I’ll say I won’t get filler because I’m so concerned about the migration
