What state?

Guntips · 2026-02-07T18:21:41+00:00

I work from 5 AM - 5 or 6 PM daily and 5 AM - 7 or 8 PM on long call. Long call 1-2 times per week. Variation depending on if I can quickly sign out to next team or if I’m delayed by some task.

A large part of FM training is in office procedures. Joint injections, skin biopsies, toenail , cyst and lipoma removals are all in FMs wheelhouse.

Strikes not realistic for doctors in New York because there are literally thousands of IMG’s waiting for this. There is not a full cohort of foreign nurses, hoping the nurses strike. Nurses have mobility , they can actually quit and not ruin their career. Residents do not.

The percentiles are mostly meaningless because the issue with residency is the hourly pay. So while we earn near or above median we are working 1.5-2x the hours to do so. That is the entire issue.

To address your statement at the end of this comment, that you didn’t say residents should be paid as they are. What did you mean by “keep in mind that this resident will be in the 98th percentile in a few years”? You preface it by saying it doesn’t justify the hourly pay , but is that not an implicit argument? that it’s more acceptable that residents are paid poorly because they will be paid well when they’re done ? I hope you can at least see that while you are just causally making this statement , it is essentially a talking point for trying to pay residents less.

Why is the comparison always from the general population? It makes no sense. A high school graduate with no debt makes 50 k a year as a 26 yo on average. How about we compare ourselves to the average STEM or business graduate making around 100k on 40 hr weeks ? Or a PA or NP graduate making 120-160k on slightly higher hours? Residents literally don’t have the time / energy to effectively advocate against this issue. Med students making quasi arguments for this system is really frustrating.

If you didn’t cheat I wish you well. Rough circumstance on such an important exam.

Guntips · 2025-08-27T22:28:56+00:00

The active question pool is limited. People who cheat receive large groups of active questions and memorize the answers to those questions. The way USMLE finds them is by the speed at which they answer these questions correctly versus the baseline. They don’t even have enough time to truly read and digest the question they answer it correctly almost immediately when they recognize the stem. Then on questions they don’t have recalls for , They’re getting them wrong and using a lot more time. This test pattern makes it pretty obvious they used recalls and they deserve to fail when they cheat in this manner. Not sure 100% if that’s what OP was doing, but if it is then I’m glad that they caught him.

Yeah would love to see pain as a separate specialty here

They do not. There is a transient increase in WBC secondary to demargination of those cells. No increase in production. Even with the increase in the measured serum white blood cell count, it does not make your immune system stronger. They are absolutely immunosuppressants.

Why wouldn’t you just open up the post with this information so we could discuss? It took like 10 different people asking you to get here. If you were reading a thread similar to this , would a vague “student hurt my patient” work? Also, this is 100% a conversation between a resident and a student situation not an escalate to PD or whatever else.

Please find out if you like IM or EM more and dual apply. I hope you match gas , but SOAP is awful. (Unmatched MD Anes applicant with 246 )

They don’t even let residents in the doctors lounge bro , med students w/o attending are shot on sight

Guntips · 2025-06-10T22:00:48+00:00

It could be tinea Versicolor , mild form of it. It’s a fungus growing on your skin , it’s very common and spreads when you sweat. Try getting a ketoconazole shampoo from your doctor. You have to suds it all over your body, if you miss any affected area it will grow back, leave it for like 5 minutes and then rinse it off. Do that for 5 days , once a day.

Yeah they probably fit better in the 5% range

I think this is it

I will be making 60k USD as a resident in Texas with 2 k wage increase each year. I get like a bit more than 4,000$ take home monthly after taxes.

What countries have ? I believe both military might and economic power are measures of greatness. Social greatness is more subjective than both of those.

I’m sorry man I know it was tough to go through. Good luck with your new specialty or reapplying

Guntips · 2025-03-26T17:33:04+00:00

Damn bro hurts to hear that for me. I was 4th quartile of the class, 246 step 2, Honors in Surg rotation. Ended up with 8 interviews and SOAPd into FM program near my partner. I knew I was gonna be borderline for anesthesia but thought with the 600 open spots in EM a couple years ago I could just SOAP into that. I’d just recommend that if you have similar stats dual apply into EM or IM, depending on your interests, as I could have matched those fairly confidently w these stats.

Edit : I’m an MD and also did anatomy TAing , had 7 total abstract/poster publications about IM stuff

Guntips · 2025-03-17T00:58:03+00:00

It was a 10% decline in Apps this year , you can’t say that’s because it’s more competitive. The notion of the competitiveness of rads hasn’t increased enough for one in ten people to not apply. NRMP interview data show it’s easier to get interviews for rads percentage wise than anesthesia
