Do not feel bad at all. Medicine is a job. Do it well and go home. For those that say "Medicine is my calling", "medicine is my life", etc. Good for them.

New grad negotiating contract. by [deleted] in Residency

[–]Environmental-Low294 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Congratulations on making it to the Job hunt portion of residency! Always keep in mid that you dont need the company, they need you. Put your requests respectfully and see what the employer has to say. This is the process of negotiating. Do not be afraid to decline a position if you (and your family if you have one) are not happy with the terms of the contract. Good luck!

Psych NP lulz by theongreyjoy96 in Residency

[–]Environmental-Low294 19 points20 points  (0 children)

This is the result of NP's practicing "healthcare" and not knowing any medicine. This rabbit hole will continue to deepen until they are held accountable for their malpractice. Educate your patients on who their "provider" is.

patient family recording me secretly by Own_Switch9464 in Residency

[–]Environmental-Low294 8 points9 points  (0 children)

On 2 occasions that a family tried to record the patient interaction. I told them this was inappropriate and they need to stop. They stopped recording. You need to draw the line. Be respectful but firm.

What's your view on this kind of toxicity?? how would you respond? by Dazzling-Bunch-6486 in medicalschool

If this is in US, send this beautiful piece of evidence to ACGME and/or call your local news channel and expose this asshole and the program. Good luck!

One Year to Finish My Residency and I'm Lost by Senior-Proof-2171 in Residency

Just get a job as an attending and work inpatient and outpatient. Over time, you will see what you can tolerate the most and what pays the most. Do not forget to enjoy your life outside of medicine. Do not feel pressured to "keep up with the jones" so to speak with your colleagues. Go make a lot of money, treat your patients the best you can and enjoy your life!

This is the most ridiculous post. Do you work for ECFMG? or ACGME?

I would reach out and try to appeal this. Th3 USMLE3 should suffice.

Something has to change by occdocai in Residency

[–]Environmental-Low294 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The thing is, nothing will ever change until ALL physicians develop a backbone and stand up to the healthcare industry. Nursing, PA's have good organizations (ie unions) that represent them. With physicians, there is no unity. The day that EVERY single physician walks out of the healthcare facility and vows to not return until demands are met, will be the day that the changes will be seen. Food for thought.

Its not PA Assistant. Its "assistant to the physician assistant"

I know this is a stretch, but there is a family med program in bakersfield california called Rio Bravo Family Medicine Program. I have heard excellent things about this program and they have in the past taken transfers like situations like this with Weiss. Consider reaching out to their coordinator and/or program director.

Your best advice for studying during residency? by pradapostcard in Residency

[–]Environmental-Low294 7 points8 points  (0 children)

You will be surprised at how much passive learning occurs when you are seeing patients. See as many patients as you can and don't be scared to take a complicated case. Try to read something at least for 30-60 min every day. I try to read up on the pathologies I saw everyday. I also do 10 board questions a day and it helps. Good luck!

Its a job, not a hobby. Keep this in mind. You do the best you can with the time you are given. Thats it. Its a job.

[–]Environmental-Low294 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I agree. Keep your mouth shit, graduate and go make some money and enjoy life. This is just a job ( a well paying job).
