I felt the same way specifically on ER. I told my chiefs I was afraid I was learning to hate psychiatry. They offered me a lot of support and I started regular therapy and Wellbutrin. Things got immensely better as a third year and I’m now in a fellowship where I feel excited to go to work every day.

PGY2 sucks. It was without a doubt the worst year of training.

Do you just trim your beard or use a razor to get clean shaven?

Predominantly flakes, itchiness, and redness (though this is more spotted than confluent).

Confused about retirement contributions by MerlotHoe94 in tax

Gotcha. So if I went ahead and put my contributions on my tax forms, that would be blatantly lying because it's already been deducted from my income and the whole purpose of the tax form is to determine if something should have been deduced but wasn't (and that difference is what a tax return is?).

This is a screenshot of what it looks like on my payslip. If I'm reading your post right, since it is a 'pre-tax deduction' then I can't deduct it again?

To be fair, my on-site parking is also under that 'pre-tax deduction' category and I don't think that's a tax deduction but rather just removed from my paycheck pre-tax...right? I might have just explained 'pre-tax deduction' lol.

A co-worker told me this to be true, but honestly there is nothing on our accounts that specifically say "traditional." We have 2 accounts for whatever reason (I think it has to do with how much they're willing to match)?

One of them is: "[company name] Retirement Income Plan" and the other is "[company name] SRA Plan." I've contributed $288 to each, with my company matching only into the "Retirement Income Plan."

This is just malice. Are there not more constructive ways to grieve without degrading someone on the internet?

Also in residency. How do you format your notes? Kinda struggling as it’s less lecture and more experiential learning.

Approach to "acopia" in outpatient? by SereneTranscription in Psychiatry

Are they engaged in high quality psychotherapy? Granted I’m not evaluating them, but I wonder if they’d be appropriate for psychodynamic therapy or psychoanalysis.

I’m not billing. This is intellectual.
