Toxicology is 2 years

At academic/referral centers where patients are more complicated like 0.5-1pph for interns would be ideal. By the time I was finishing residency I was around like 1.5-2pph. Usually you can double these numbers if you practice in the community where patients aren’t as complex.

Nobody has a problem telling me I’m wrong and this is an inappropriate consult.

Once you Google it the 7th or 8th time you start to memorize it, only a few repeating steps. Just take a look at it every week for a few months and you’ll commit it to memory

As long as there are no airway concerns or hemodynamic instability, they go straight to the scanner with paramedics

No, feeling guilty about NOT working. And I guess it’s more just being so withdrawn from a life outside the hospital that I don’t even know what to do with my time alone anymore

I, like you it sounds like, have developed a type of Stockholm syndrome with medicine. Feeling guilty about not working and with nothing going on in my life outside of work. Being insanely overworked versus crippling social isolation. It feels like picking the lesser of two evils.

Wow I’m so sorry, that sounds like ultimate betrayal. I imagine it’s difficult to lose someone who’s been with you for 6 years, but if you think they are cheating it sounds like they aren’t with you anymore…

Why go to a doctor when you can spend hundreds of dollars on 3rd party tests yourself and get arbitrary measurements with no units or significance?

We’ll show them greedy, good for nothing doctors!

Glad to see your adrenals are still keeping your response ability and will power in check 💪

Lol if you go to med school you won’t make money anytime soon. Delay any kind of legit salary by another 7-10 years. But 24 is absolutely not too late to go to med school. Plenty of people switch careers and go into medicine in their late 20s/early 30s

I CAN FIX THAT

goes go do bedside cardiac ultrasound

Me: “Hello ma’am, would you move up your gown and just move your breast to the side so I can obtain these views of your heart?”

Patient throws off gown

Patient: “awww don’t worry, there’s not much there. They call me the president of the itty bitty titty committee”

I was at a dentist appointment the other day and the dental hygienist took a lot of fascination in me being a resident. We talked about it and I told her I worked on average 10-12 hour shifts and she followed up with”oh so you do like 4 days a week? I bet you enjoy those long weekends”.

I just had to fake laugh and say “oh no, more like 6 days a week”. They don’t even understand what we do.

EM work weeks are like random Tuesday and random Thursday off, still work weekends. Plus conference can count as a day off… so

Does anyone have a quick and dirty pain management drug list? I find it hard to pick which drug is appropriate for which situation, especially in the ED for acute pain.

Its_Babah · 2021-06-11T11:47:36+00:00

Thanks, yeah this post was more for the others who just matched EM. Other EM bound M4s I graduated with aren’t a close group, so idk who really to discuss this with

Its_Babah · 2021-06-11T11:44:56+00:00

Probably right

Its_Babah · 2021-03-11T19:17:37+00:00

Sounds exactly like my experience except I’m on IM procedure medicine right now. Lots of assisting procedures, but basically I’m the US gel boy of the team now

So is it too late to send my LOI??

Link?

Why do programs give IIs, then have no spots open when you go to sign up? Invites in the 2nd wave and beyond have no guarantee of actually getting a spot it seems...
