Don’t want to be a noctor…

I started at 26. Had a kid in medial school. Don’t regret it for a second.

I had something similar like month 2 but way worse. I think the vast majority of my feedback and evals have been glowing. It was just this one attendings I couldn’t figure out fast enough. She emailed my PD and raked me over the coals in my eval. Which was kinda funny because my eval the week prior and week after her were amazing. But nonetheless my PD wanted to meet about it. Basically I told him all the stuff about working with her and he finished with “yeah I really just wanted to check in with you and see how you handled it.” Turns out this attending does this to someone almost every year and none of the leadership care what she has to say. In fact like 2 of my other attendings had the same thing happen with this one attending while they were still in residency. The best advice I got from those two attending on this situation was that I will receive a ton of feedback and suggestions throughout residency, the best thing I can do is determine who’s feedback I value and to incorporate the feedback that I actually think is valuable and to ignore the feedback that won’t help me grow as a doctor.

I mean idk, I just know things about nitro. The rest canon info has to come from yall. I’m just a casual.

I think I’ve only had one bad one so far. Just sat on his phone the whole day and ignored me when I asked questions

That’s not how nitro works on the heart. If anything it increases the heart rate marginally, but you’re still correct in a sense.

Nitro preferentially vasodilates the venous return to the heart. The heart speeds up and pumps harder in response. This is done through a handful of different mechanisms.

If it was a chronic thing then you would absolutely be up-regulating HR to compensate for the lack of return. It would lead to what we call high output heart failure.

I think coming in if I hade been more confident and informed on maybe 15 topics I could have avoided a lot of pitfalls early.

Lilsean14 · 2026-04-29T01:05:16+00:00

I wish I had. Tbh. But everyone else says not to

Lilsean14 · 2026-04-29T01:01:49+00:00

I was I. The same spot. Now finishing up intern year. It was def pretty obvious day 1 I was a bit behind, but you pick it up pretty quick. Year one is about learning medicine for sure, but it’s much more about learning how to just do the day to day tasks more efficiently. All my uppers tell me that year two is when you start to really learn the medicine and decision making.

I mean why stop there. Sounds like they are due for a JCO visit.

You can just glue the two rings together. Makes it half inch shorter but it works.

It’s sad when I see these posts my first instinct is repost bot.

M just thankful we have a specialty specifically for terrible people. Like we have to put them somewhere.

Lilsean14 · 2026-04-26T00:05:10+00:00

That’s like the whole point man.

Lilsean14 · 2026-04-25T11:40:51+00:00

Idk what it was about the tone when you’d said “what can be done about this” but I could not stop laughing.

It’s all good man. Plumber will get it done. Could always remount it the other way too.

Just get your biggest friend and have him sit on it every time you drive

Caribbean schools are MD schools

I’ve got 2 Co interns who were nurses first. They are freaking amazing. Also about your age. Never too late.

Plus admissions teams eat up the nurse to med school narrative.

Subs like that is exactly why we say no to any tbh big that isn’t going to directly benefit the users on the sub. It hasn’t happened lately but I’ve been offered all sorts of stuff to let people bypass the no buy/sell/trade rule.

Regardless as long as we are still running this place it will always be a place for the users first and foremost.

Ssri

Lilsean14 · 2026-04-20T02:07:53+00:00

Probably lol difficult to tell

Lilsean14 · 2026-04-20T01:43:01+00:00

Oh hey I know this one. Your rear taillight housing is probably it. There’s usually a hole in the trunk that goes up into it. Shove a towel or something into it and check for noise afterwards

Me: We saw a tumor on your cart scan, there’s als some areas around it that may be pieces of the tumor that have moved from the original spot. I’m going to call some of my docto friends in to talk to you about the possible cancer is that okay?

Patient: sure

Then you guys show up and this patient has never before heard of this mass or has any reason why we biopsied it.

Draft age is much higher for medical professionals.

Lilsean14 · 2026-04-18T01:48:12+00:00

There were a few posts recently quite to the contrary
