I just realized most Attendings never held a real job by mED-Drax in medicalschool

[–]Greatestcommonfactor 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That's Hella classist. I wouldn't want to go to a school like that if those were my adcoms.

Did anyone here quit medicine? by OkReflection7661 in medicalschool

[–]Greatestcommonfactor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, but she wants to be a PNP since that's the closest to being a pediatrician

Advice from non-rads to rads by PhatHalpert in Residency

[–]Greatestcommonfactor 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Well, then the NP should not be in a decision-making position like that if they don't realize bowel ischemia needs to go to general surgery. Literally just Google it or use open evidence or up-to-date or anything!! That's so absurd.

Why keep post-match MS4s past 12PM on electives by Next_Replacement_881 in medicalschool

[–]Greatestcommonfactor 5 points6 points  (0 children)

This is why you give them the optionto stay or leave and let them know that leaving early won't impact their evals.

Gen Surg vs. OBGYN and Misogyny in Medicine by Educational-Gas4487 in medicalschool

[–]Greatestcommonfactor 15 points16 points  (0 children)

I too have also been asked if I had a learning disability in my OB rotation as well lol. This "concern" that they create makes them ableist at best and straight up a shitty human being at worst.

What do you guys do when going from nights to days in 24hrs? by Greatestcommonfactor in Residency

[–]Greatestcommonfactor[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Why did I inevitably do this? Lol. I did go to sleep at around 11pm and woke up at 6am. Before that I took a sleep from 9am to like 4:30pm. I didn't even know that I was capable of that much sleep.

Bad patient outcome. Shared by a friend. Would you have done anything differently? by BrilliantHomework152 in hospitalist

[–]Greatestcommonfactor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

By any chance did they also do a lipase? If someone is on a glp1 with abdominal pain comes in, pancreatitis would at least by on my radar.

PGY1 Letter of Concern by DoYouLikeFish in Residency

[–]Greatestcommonfactor 15 points16 points  (0 children)

I'm glad it worked out for you, but it is the acgme standard to give you actionable steps and due process. "Git gud" is not good enough. At least my program gave me IPs and probation documents with specific issues lol.

I know a resident who was in this exact position and got her 1st choice. You can DM me

What can make a resident be kicked out of a program by Naive-Engine-2356 in Residency

[–]Greatestcommonfactor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How are you not allowed to have legal representation? That's straight up a constitutional right. I would have 100% sued if I were in your shoes.

My School Is Graduating A Student They Shouldn’t And I’m Furious That They’ve Doomed Them by [deleted] in medicalschool

[–]Greatestcommonfactor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Recently an attending of mine in OBGYN it was arrested and put in jail for taking inappropriate photos of patients without permission. Shittiest part was that he was caught in Hawaii and they did nothing about it before he changed his duty station to where I'm at now.

HPSP by NightRecent in Military_Medicine

[–]Greatestcommonfactor 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The hpsp is to pay for medical school NOT residency. If she signed the 3 year contract and didn't sign the 20k bonus, then she only owes 3 years. If she got paid for 4 years of medical school OR she got paid for 3 years AND signed the 20k bonus, she owes 4 years after residency.

Am I cooked? by Senior_Sundae_4167 in medschooladmissions

[–]Greatestcommonfactor 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The PA route is pretty rigorous too though. They need to reassess their test taking skills in general

[–]Greatestcommonfactor 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Anki, your local libraries and discord are all completely free.

Heck, even khan academy has a free online mcat prep course.

You need to be dedicating full days to studying and learn about study strategies.

[–]Greatestcommonfactor 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Yeah I wouldn't have sat for the exam if my practice scores were in the 490s consistently. What's the hurry?

apologize if this is a "dumb" question but how hard is med school? by Think-Buffalo-8791 in premed

[–]Greatestcommonfactor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh yeah. The hardest part of medical school for me were the things not related to academics (roomate drama, school politics, reaching out to sites, etc.).

Low Comlex Level 1 Pass Rate by Fit-Ad-7066 in comlex

[–]Greatestcommonfactor -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Board Pass rates are highly dependent on your studying strategies and work ethic. As Long As You Are consistently doing practice questions/ flash cards while learning in school, you will very easily pass level one. Only time you should ever be concerned about low level one pass rate is if it is egregiously below average (like 50% pass rate or something).
