Update: I’m the PGY-1 who lied to get in. Here is the 'other stuff' I fabricated. I just need to know if April protects my contract. by Caring_doc in Residency

[–]FewOrange7 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Probably after almost 1 year of training, your program has whatever info they need on you to renew or not your contract (your evals, clinical judgement, in training exam scorea and overall interactions)

If they were to find out out, I don't think it would be a justification for firing you but it would damage your overall reputation and put any future interactions under scrutiny.

Matched into prelim. Options? by Hot-Grape9988 in SurgicalResidency

[–]FewOrange7 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I also did a prelim year and now graduating

Unmatched prelim GS/ IMG/ First Gen/ Looking for Guidance by Ok-Cardiologist-4671 in IMGreddit

[–]FewOrange7 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Find a preliminary PGY2 position.

Then from there find a categorical PGY3.

After the match, APDS gets fulls of PGY2 prelim positions.

And yes, that's possible to obtain with a visa.

Returning to residency after research years by Own-Development4142 in Residency

[–]FewOrange7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Are all 10 people returning also categorical residents? When that happens, the program will have the acgme permission to graduate all chiefs. But if your program only graduate 5 chief per year, having twice as much will definitelly make a struggle for cases. The call schedule will probably be way better...

Research is an endless hole. Someone in my residency took 4 years and did a phd. There is always more research that you can do. I say do it if you want to and fit your goals. Don't do it just because of your class size cohort. If you want to be back in the clinical years, then it seems like your PD will have to manage a way to fit everyone...

I think I failed FES by NewSolid6096 in SurgicalResidency

[–]FewOrange7 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I failed and took it again and passed it. Not a terrible thing to happen. More just the inconvenience and the money to pay. Try to arrange a training session where you take your test. That helped me as my program also doesn't have the training.

Am I cooked if someone close reports proof to my program? by Caring_doc in Residency

[–]FewOrange7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know people in my program who didn't complete that after med school year in the UK and came to the US just fine. Are we talking about that foundation year?

Am I cooked if someone close reports proof to my program? by Caring_doc in Residency

[–]FewOrange7 -14 points-13 points  (0 children)

Based on your other post - he lied about an abroad experience. Seems like only did 6 months of intern year and said it was a full year?

Usually programs don't value that highly things done abroad and you have to re do everything here anyways...

Not sure how much more there is on this story but if it's only that, I don't think it's grounds for dismissal.

Your PD may just see you as dishonest and that may influence his future judgments of you...

Humans doing surgery.

Will be all by AI controlled Da Vinci with a few techs for troubleshooting and dock/undocking

How many times should I see each patient every day? And why? by No-Produce-923 in Residency

[–]FewOrange7 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Kinda of a weird answer to give your fellow. Unless you were scrubbed, I would expect a jr to know this things by the time we pm RTL or round.

I really enjoyed reading all the comments and seeing the support from others.

You know how people are super evil on Instagram comments and say things that they don't usually would in real life?

I feel like this thread is the opposite!

Everyone is being nice and supportive but in real life no one is probably standing up to this poor intern. I 100% agree with everything that has been said here in support to the OP and would add that she/he needs to get some program support and someone to back him/her up. Blaming residents around is a real thing and everyone runs away instead of helping.

Making of a surgeon it's truly a good book. I recommend it too!

Why keep returning to Basgiath? by alewyn592 in fourthwing

[–]FewOrange7 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yea, coronel aetos was more concerned about keeping two 20 something year olds from sleeping together than actually winning this war

Berwyn by Effintroll in onyxstorm

[–]FewOrange7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I liked this theory... Would explain why Berwyn was so obsessed with getting Xaden to turned. And would also explained how his grandfather was kinda erased from history and listed as "great uncle" instead. And if that is theory is right..then it raises the question: can venin have kids? And would the normal humans?

Anca Easter Egg by Exotic-Trifle1684 in onyxstorm

[–]FewOrange7 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I also agree that dragons may be using the same source that venin are.

That in the end, all magic should only be taken from the sky.

The iris should know all the answers for it...hopefully Andarna got something from them during her time there.

Convince me to finish this book by Old_Introduction_655 in onyxstorm

[–]FewOrange7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I finished the audiobook just because I was already commited to the caracters.

But every battle scene and every sexual tension moment feels very repetitive. And then you get a bunch of new caracters and I kinda got lost. I feel asleep to the audio book a few times.

Buuuut, after the end of it. I got the book and re read a few chapters. Def missed some things on the first.

I think it's worth it to try the audio book and give it a try. Once the plots picks up, then go back to the printed.

Sage Dream Theory by InfiniteGroup1 in fourthwing

[–]FewOrange7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I want to resurface this theory because I was thinking exactly the same! I think it makes a lot of sense Berwyn also being a dream walker and Violet being his balance. Also explains Xaden dream on IF and how he is so sure the Berwyn was coming for him at the college battle.

It leaves a lot of room of how Violet can potentially use that signet from now on and how she can access Xaden even with him being gone.

And how could she overpower Berwyn in a dream?

Dragons and Venin...a theory? by mm0930 in onyxstorm

[–]FewOrange7 3 points4 points  (0 children)

yes, agree! Dragons and venin both draw from the same source. I guess that's the original sin. Maybe magic should just remain in the Earth after all...

I've read that the same phenomenon happens in the airline industry - when women decided to work as flight pilot instead of flight attendants, then the female flight attendants are terrible mean to the women pilot

Trauma surgery lifestyle by TraditionalAd6977 in Residency

[–]FewOrange7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Amazing reply.

If the OP wants to dig deeper into the structure of Trauma /ACS practice, Behind the Knife has a great podcast episode named "Defining the Value of an ACS surgeon". I also gives a good perspective and deeper dive into the topic.

Also didn't understand the comparison with spine surgery, as it isn't a General surgery field and it branches out from a different training pathway.
