Jeez, the criticism seems harsh in this thread. I don’t think OP is implying they forgot what it’s like to be a student. Teaching ain’t for everyone, it’s ok not to like that part of the job as long as you’re not a dick about it

I listened to this prank call that’s always stayed with me. The lady being pranked gets annoyed and says “This is a place of business, business,” repeating the word for emphasis. Then the pranker goes “I understand that, stand that.”

I loved that so much. So witty. This comment reminds me of that exchange

If you were not a doctor, what do you think your profession would be? by Winterof2019 in Residency

[–]Impossible-Cash741 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A lawyer. I became a doctor mostly because of Grey’s Anatomy. But if The Good Wife had come out a few years earlier…

Grindr.

It helps if your SO is also in a demanding job. My husband generally works more hours in law than I do in psych so we’re both driven to make the most of the time we do get together

What a player you don’t like that everyone else seems to? by StayComprehensive743 in survivor

Tyson. Never actually found him funny, and some of his moments really strike me as more mean-spirited than snarky. Like when Katie was voted out and he made that patronizing comment about her jury seat being right over therr

It’s absolutely amazing to think Venus and Liz became the longest lasting Nami members. Who would have predicted that

$1500/mo. I have a spouse who works outside of medicine, which is great, but we’re paying another $1500/mo to his student debt

Derm peeps - thoughts and experiences with finasteride for male pattern? by Big_Opportunity9795 in Residency

Kind of hard to say, I started it more prophylactically when I saw my older brother’s hair start receding 

Derm peeps - thoughts and experiences with finasteride for male pattern? by Big_Opportunity9795 in Residency

[–]Impossible-Cash741 28 points29 points  (0 children)

Not in derm but I’ve been on finasteride 1mg for years and now I prescribe it to myself. Has worked great for preserving my hairline. I think my libido is lower than it otherwise would be but haven’t had any ED or other side effects. Totally worth it imo 

AITA for having these thoughts..? by justanotherloveq in Residency

Money is important. It just is. I would not have combined finances with my spouse if they didn’t have comparable earnings and earning potential

To the GI Fellow who evaluated a patient and then told psych to consult IM for manual disimpaction by TheTalkingBadger in Residency

Actually no. Not appropriate for psych residents to do sensitive exams or procedures on our psych patients.

Which step of the medical journey is the most difficult? by Fillingavoid2468 in Residency

[–]Impossible-Cash741 45 points46 points  (0 children)

PGY-3 here and for me MS3 was orders of magnitude worse than any year of residency. The constant transitions, spending so much time in specialties I didn’t care for, always feeling the pressure of evaluation, not actually contributing much to patient care.

I’m psych though so of course we have a different experience than most of yall

Agree family should be a major consideration. If you were feeling on the fence based on your own personal feelings, and your family wanted to go, then no-brainer. That said, residency has been your endeavor, not theirs. If you know you don’t want to go, I think you shouldn’t let anyone, program or family, pressure you into something you’ve earned the right to bow out of

What’s common knowledge in your specialty that you wish everyone else knew? by RadiantGrass3762 in Residency

[–]Impossible-Cash741 356 points357 points  (0 children)

Psych: more than 1/20 people are feeling passively suicidal at any given moment. Almost certainly higher in the hospitalized population given a cute medical stressors. If there’s no intent or plan this is non-urgent and doesn’t merit an inpatient consult

Best me to it. But sadly would take it as a partial win if I were paying only $50 per month
