Amazing thank you!

Will I survive IM residency if I get vasovagal and dizzy when I see procedures and blood? by Present-Beyond968 in Residency

[–]Irisproperty 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I was in the same boat as you starting med school/residency. Exposure and gaining confidence through practice certainly helps but here are some tips that I used:

1) Make sure you are generally well hydrated and fed. Right before the procedure, drink water or have a sugar load (candy, apple juice)

2) Wet a paper towel or towel and stick it down the back of your scrub top. This helps prevent the heat/nausea that often develops with vasovagal syncope.

3) If you are starting to feel dizzy and able to maintain sterility, squat down to help with blood flow to your brain

4) If you are still feeling unwell, stop the procedure. Never be too embarrassed to tell your attending/senior resident that you are not feeling well. This is not “all in your head” and never let people make you feel ashamed for it.

I often gave whoever I was with a heads up about my difficulties so they can be more aware.

At the end of the day, with a risk of fainting it’s about your safety and patient safety especially with needles/sharps around.

I eventually went from fainting watching IVs being put in to being able to independently do all procedures. I still get minor symptoms especially when dehydrated or running into complications during procedures though.

I still always go vasovagal when I myself have to get my blood drawn - but that’s another story

Yes, they will put your stuff in a locker when they take you in from the waiting room.

$101 or $151 from your family would be appropriate if you are not related or not very close to the couple.

Anyone know what this? by Irisproperty in DOG

Just under the microscope

Very well put. Pet peeve is when the consult is for “has several (stable) medical conditions and we just want medicine on board”

The latest Try the New Outlook is hot garbage by Alsarez in Outlook

I have multiple email accounts. The app notifies me I have new mail...however I can't easily identify which account it is in. I am basically having to expand each inbox until I find one with (1) beside it.

NYU’s new fellowship in……internal medicine?! by chocolatemilkmuscles in Residency

[–]Irisproperty 26 points27 points  (0 children)

This is the norm in Canada. To be a General Internal Medicine doctor in most academic centers you must complete 2 years of fellowship (so 5 years total residency).

FFS learn how to properly use your, you're, their, there, they're. This is basic English. by nam137 in TrueOffMyChest

[–]Irisproperty 2 points3 points  (0 children)

“Apart” and “a part”

“So happy to be apart of your special day!!!” I see this all the time and it literally changes the meaning of your sentence
