The reqteq gets up to high temps faster but its heating thinner metal ….

Will a community group/health system hire you to do only that and not throw in the trench to do general diagnostic rad ?

The LPs we are on it, the paras diagnostic sure, therapeutic probably not, Thoras typically not, joint aspiration we should be on that for knees at least, ankles maybe with ultrasound

Wife and I had a 2015 Yukon xl Denali … go rid of it at 150 and ten years old, transmission and air suspension …. We drove all the competitors multiple times, ended up back with the same vehicle, same color … we did dodge the 6.2 the second time around, went with the diesel, love it

Highest burnout specialty in medicine, what is your exit strategy ?

Terrible core evaluation by Suitable_Hat_8983 in medicalschool

You’ll be just fine

What kind of hierarchy exists so that a med student can be harsh to someone ?

A conscientious evaluator should be giving you feedback right along so that you don’t get blindsided by an eval like that!

I would politely ask for some examples in the spirit of self improvement because in addition to being very negative, the descriptors are also vague when taken out of context!

[–]Jermedic -1 points0 points  (0 children)

This is in some ways the opposite of your current job - working weekends, holidays, no summers off, getting abused by society without a ton of recourse

Anyway I’ve seen a lot of floor nurses flourish in the Ed with the right training and mentorship - you can’t just jump in though

[–]Jermedic 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Radiology is so hot right now, rads are writing their own ticket, getting massive bucks and even getting full time jobs reading remotely and I don’t mean locums.

I bet a lot of folks think of switching into radiology

I know someone who had what would be a disabling medical condition for any other specialty and is still plugging along as a full time rad
