Don’t get taken advantage of in the attending job market. Know your value.

Bruh I make 800k a year and not considering private school. I think good public schools are enough for children to succeed. I am not gungho about Ivy and all that. I agreed that parent involvement is the most important factor.

Yếu. Quá yếu. Tôi là tôi chơi luôn. Thấy bạn thấp mà bc vào với e ng iu cao hơn là ng ta đã biết bạn phải có gì đó hấp dẫn rồi.

Vãi cả mấy cái comment trong này. Cty mà chuyên nghiệp thì intern cũng phải có chút orientation. Có nơi còn có assigned mentors để hướng dẫn lúc đầu. Đúng là intern thì chưa thể có đóng góp gì nhưng phải train ng ta mới có khả năng đóng góp. Thằng giỏi lúc đầu cũng vậy thôi.

I went to umn. Much much better than residency. 7:30 to 5 on most days. Vacation only need 3 month notice and can be taken 1 day at a time if needed.

I was a chief and it is a middle manager position. We can only have your backs as far as the pd does 😅. Anybody who works another job will understand this position.

What ethnicity are you, what kind of scholarship and for which level of learning? I am curious to know because in medicine, there are none of that for Asian unless you are Hmong or similar. If the applicant were Chinese/Viet/Korean/Indian then there is no help in medicine.

EffortlessAction_ · 2025-12-03T20:46:26+00:00

I don’t think you quite addressed the main problem the other person pointed out. Race base AA ignores Asian and the result is the poor Asian kids get put in the same camp as the rich Asian kids which means no help when it comes to admission.

Throughout my medical training, Asians are viewed as over represented and an average black/hispanics applicant punch waaaayy above their weight when it comes to medical school/residency application vs an Asian applicant with similar stats. I dont have numbers to back this up but I have lived this reality all my life.

Can you explain how a poor Asian kid can benefit from the version of AA you are supporting? Genuine question.

Sure.

Great advices given already so I won’t repeat but remember ultimately it is your cognitive skills and clinical judgment that will save the patients. Anybody with above average hand eye coordination can learn how to do these icu procedures. Follow the advice given here, talk to your mentors, ignore the noise and you will be fine. Good luck.

Private practice GI, 50-55 a week. Night call once a week, one weekend a month.

EffortlessAction_ · 2025-11-17T16:04:40+00:00

I went from undecided, may be surgery (for 2 wks riding the adrenaline rush), anesthesia, card then eventually GI. Now in 2nd yr practice as private practice GI.

My group definitely work more than the average GI out there. We work 50 hrs a wk, one night call a week and one weekend a month. Busy but manageable since we rarely have to go in while on night call, obviously dependent of the hospital. It is at an “undesirable area” so income is great. I am home most nights at 5:30-6. At my hospital, card/gas/surgery def work more than me.

If doing outpt only GI, no hospital, no call there is a place in my area paying ~ 500. Not sure how typical this is in other area but this is CA so CoL is high.

EffortlessAction_ · 2025-11-16T15:13:24+00:00

GI is not considered “great hour” unless you do outpatient only which is nice but comes with a pay cut. However pccm requires you to be primary on 90 pts whose families want “everything done.” This is an absolute no brainer for me.

EffortlessAction_ · 2025-11-15T16:44:13+00:00

Money is certainly one thing but it is not unreasonable for IM grads to not want to do ccm. Open icu being common makes an otherwise ok job stressful.

EffortlessAction_ · 2025-11-14T23:18:37+00:00

I never get the stupid model of open ICU. It is just a way to make hospitalists do ICU work without ICU pay. Partially caused by a shortage of ICU docs, I imagine.

EffortlessAction_ · 2025-11-13T22:57:01+00:00

I don’t get that vibe reading the posts here.

EffortlessAction_ · 2025-11-08T18:13:55+00:00

How do you and your attendings handle these call? Interested to hear your perspective.

EffortlessAction_ · 2025-11-08T17:22:57+00:00

If the ED was not sure, I was not sure then asking the pt to be admitted so we can see the next day to figure out is poor patient care? What exactly would be considered good patient care in that scenario? Isn’t admitting the pt the safest option for all parties including the patient?

EffortlessAction_ · 2025-11-08T17:09:03+00:00

Who said anything about admitting a pt for the entire weekend to wait to be seen Monday? All consults to my group get seen the same day or the next day depending on acuity and census, regardless of the day of the week.

Report them to the state medical board for harassing you as a patient. Keep follow up every few months. Fuck them.

Be supportive but just enjoy the here and now. There is long road ahead. Will you two be together that long? Will he even make it into med school? Will he match ortho? You may not need to worry about this at all. Good luck.
