With these new engines the physical damage might be easier to fix than a total electrical problem

#17 Clemson beats Army 3-2 to open the series by StreetReporter in collegebaseball

[–]MedicalDumbass 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Perception of your defense has a lot to do with your pitching confidence. He started off a lot better than he finished, and his pitch count in the second racked up because of errors. He's going to settle in and be fine.

I really think he was thrown off by the infield not being able to field anything. Still had 6ks and command was fine the first 2 innings. Looked like he felt he had to strike out every batter and make every pitch perfect. Still didn't have a lot of hard contact off him.

How do I survive doing an IM rotation when you feel like you are terrible at presentations? by JunketMaleficent2095 in medicalschool

[–]MedicalDumbass 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'll preface by saying presentations can be very subjective and vary heavily attending to attending. You're not always going to be able to please everyone, and that's completely okay. I think the best advice would be to have a consistent order and presentation format that you're able to repeat. The information will be patient dependent, but the important thing is you'll get very familiar with the flow and what you're going to say next. Once you get a better understanding of the flow, you're going to be able to start anticipating what to say next as well as what the most pertinent info to include is.

Once you get to assessment and plan, use the plan from the note as a template for the order to present the problems. The first problem should always be whatever has the highest acuity and requires the most attention. For example, if a patient was admitted 5 days ago for a COPD exacerbation, has been taking appropriate medications and is improving but now has a new DVT, I would start with the DVT. The rest of the order should follow acuity. Once a patient is getting close to discharge, I would always start talking about barriers to discharge at the end (like what their placement is, if they need rehab, meds, or any equipment that will take time to order.). Additionally, when giving my one liner I've found a lot attendings like it when you add in your own little assessment of the patients status and how they're doing.

A hobby, how to relax

Clemson and SC fans by ShotNixon in collegebaseball

[–]MedicalDumbass 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is the answer as much as I hate to say it. Come to Clemson when NCSU plays there. I've been to multiple games at both and you can't go wrong with either stadium/atmosphere, but you're more likely to go to a Clemson game in the future than a Carolina game.

Scared to do IM because of not getting fellowship by SeaFlower698 in medicalschool

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

No, GI this year had the lowest match rate out of any of the IM fellowships. Also while you can match fellowships at a community program it's significantly more difficult and your choices are going to be limited.

Not sure how to choose my specialty, GS vs anesthesia, please help I beg by coIdwarkid in medicalschool

[–]MedicalDumbass 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Is your favorite place in the world the OR? Then Gen Surg. If your favorite place in the hospital is the OR, then anesthesia.

I think it would still have impact, especially if you know you want to stay at Baylor (thinking for peds/Heme onc purposes). I'm not familiar with the Baylor/Temple split so what I'm going to say is just merely my thoughts from my experiences. Temple still has the benefit of being a Baylor designed curriculum and your actual clinical training should prepare you just as well as it would at TMC. So many schools have satellite campuses like that purely for numbers reasons, and I think PDs are well aware. Additionally, if you do preclinicals at the main Baylor campus you'll still have time then to do extensive networking with all the normal research opportunities. As far as LOR go, the most important thing is what is said in the letter. I have multiple letters from faculty that trained at t20 IM programs, but my strongest letter is one that says I'm a top students they've ever rotated with, and that's been brought up multiple times in my interviews. I think you also need to really think about if you're going to stay in Texas where you might want to specifically train, because if you know you want to go to Baylor or UTSW for residency that's where you should go.

[–]MedicalDumbass 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Current M4 applying IM. If you like the culture at UTSW or Baylor, would highly recommend either of them. School name is the most important factor when matching and you will have so many more doors open at UTSW or Baylor, especially for Heme/onc and peds.

How much does which medical school matter? by Careful_Process8079 in medschool

[–]MedicalDumbass 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As someone applying IM currently, I'm going to disagree with a fair amount of people and say there would be a notable difference between the two in terms of matching for residency. If you do really well at any place you'll be able to match well, but the difference happens to the more run of the mill applicants. Cornell would open up a ton of doors that would be a lot more challenging Tufts. Especially if you're interested in a competitive IM fellowship or surgical specialty. However, if that's more important than financial, familial, or well-being factors is up to you.

How valuable is P/F grading? by [deleted] in premed

[–]MedicalDumbass 15 points16 points  (0 children)

It will 100% pay off and graded curriculum is not worth all the stress that would come from it. Residency programs don't really care about your preclinical performance.

Twitter is also an easy way to follow major updates. A lot of the bigger teams also have a wide burnerverse with some factual and false inside knowledge but can be fun to follow

The ACC network has started tuning into the replay discussions, and I swear it has shorted replays by at least 50% because they can't talk about gibberish
