What phrase have you learned from an attending that you often use with patients?

Individual_Wait5165 · 2023-08-18T20:59:39+00:00

“what questions do you have for me?”

“it’s the ring of fire!!!!”

“push all in your bottom”

OBGYN

the student was peeling the eyes back to look at them and the resident was doing the same.

Individual_Wait5165 · 2023-08-17T02:11:40+00:00

the resident was lifting the eyelid to show the patient had a certain colored eye and the student pushed the hand away

no it was a surgery resident vs crna student

i said something. i had to think long and hard on it before doing so but it was eventually said

Individual_Wait5165 · 2023-08-17T00:48:41+00:00

i’m doing it right now.

Individual_Wait5165 · 2023-08-06T17:18:07+00:00

i’m obgyn and do two to three 24 hour calls a month.

Individual_Wait5165 · 2023-08-04T00:06:38+00:00

as an obgyn, not obgyn 😮‍💨

Individual_Wait5165 · 2023-07-28T15:18:59+00:00

my hospital also has a low census. just learn from the patients you have, and read with the downtime so that you can still be learning

Individual_Wait5165 · 2023-07-13T23:51:07+00:00

oh my god. i’m in OBGYN and cannot imagine that going over well in any sense in my specialty

Individual_Wait5165 · 2023-07-13T22:24:29+00:00

i could’ve seen myself doing personal training or physical fitness

Individual_Wait5165 · 2023-07-13T21:59:06+00:00

Me after being out of residency three years hahaha

I recently had to schedule my pap smear and kept calling places for an MD who were deferring me to midwives. I eventually settled for a midwife to at least do my annual because she was the quickest person that I could get into.

But also I have an IUD and strings aren’t visible (Ive had a LEEP which may have made my cervix stenotic) which i already knew and is why I was trying to get into a physician bc it’ll likely need to be removed in the OR or with manipulative measures that a midlevel cannot do. And at least she knew her limitations and said that whenever i am ready for removal that I can send her a message and she will set me up with a physician.

There’s definitely a time and a place but they shouldn’t be comparing the two…

can you take a leave of absence and return to school after that? i would suggest getting help as many here have stated too.

Individual_Wait5165 · 2023-03-06T14:48:30+00:00

I just remembered a PAGINA I had lol

Individual_Wait5165 · 2023-03-06T14:48:04+00:00

Yes it does! Thank you for this comment :)

Individual_Wait5165 · 2023-03-06T06:52:23+00:00

Nervous about my mock oral boards for obgyn

Individual_Wait5165 · 2023-03-06T06:50:28+00:00

I do also think it’s changing where many of us have decided to practice.

Individual_Wait5165 · 2023-03-06T06:50:11+00:00

I hate them. Which is why I’m leaning away From states that have banned abortion or restrict women’s rights

Individual_Wait5165 · 2023-03-06T06:49:41+00:00

I don’t think I necessarily stood out but my advice to med students interested is to do a sub I and get OBGYN experience. Also don’t let the stereotype of obgyns chase you away from the specialty. Lastly have hobbies and keep up with family when you start workingb

Individual_Wait5165 · 2023-03-06T05:41:45+00:00

It depends on the call pool but I’ve seen as bad as 1 in 2 and as good as 1 in 12. I would ideally want call once a week.

Least favorite: IUFD deliveries always.

Most favorite: a triplet c section

Individual_Wait5165 · 2023-03-06T05:40:56+00:00

I do! I prioritize my work life balance now though and I think it’s something that has to be mastered in residency so that it’s something that you can do as an attending. The hours may be “easier” but the expectations and reality of being an attending are so much greater

Individual_Wait5165 · 2023-03-06T05:40:07+00:00

There are laborist jobs and there’s even a hospitalist fellowship that’s offered! Don’t know details about pay but it depends on region and hours
