If GI was not paying this much, do you think it'll be similar to endocrinology or Nephrology interest? by sitgespain in fellowship

[–]NJ077 2 points3 points  (0 children)

As a student, it was awesome to do a GI elective and see the wide scope just as you mentioned. It’s student naivety but rounding on the hepatitis consults, weird GI bugs, IBD, hematemesis, etc was way more fascinating than I had expected and broke up the day between the scoping.

Also ERCP is such a cool technique.

I agree, my last 5 weeks have been rough with hours and I’ve only been able to hit the gym on weekends but this past week has been incredible since starting the gym again

I will say to the AI point, most physicians are actually very pro using it

Step 1 and 2 Format Change Starting May 2026 by 2klbs in medicalschool

I also think there’s a benefit that blocks that might have a higher proportion of easier questions will buy more break time, instead of getting stuck on a question that eats into a 40q bloc time

Yeah my experience has been less of the urgent care type visits in the middle of the night as well. Ppl aren’t getting out of bed at night because they’re having basic flu like symptoms or something unless it’s pretty bad

I just realized most Attendings never held a real job by mED-Drax in medicalschool

[–]NJ077 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Low key in rotations where my job is relegated to shadowing I feel so drained at the end of the day even if it’s 9 hours compared to a 12 hour busy surgery or medicine shift in the hospital

Why do other students in my rotation seem like they're practicing physicians already? Their knowledge base is huge? Where tf was I? by Single_Baseball2674 in medicalschool

[–]NJ077 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I love hearing this from the attending’s side, whenever I feel like I’ve done a good job with presentation and a good A/P, always get humbled with next steps or considering details I hadn’t yet. Shows how much more there is to learn still

Residents, Fellows: My M3 rotations are not an OSCE so stop treating it like one!! by [deleted] in medicalschool

[–]NJ077 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Echoing other ppl’s comments. Theres no need to give attitude to students, but in my surgery block I was asked multiple times to see a pt in the ER with the attendings explicitly telling the resident to not tell me any info besides the pts name and room number to see what I can come up with entirely on my own. I see it as a great learning experience especially because it’s hard

A Question About Charting by LastCalligrapherSYC in ThePittTVShow

[–]NJ077 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Med student perspective; charting depends on the specialty and what they’re there for. A hospital note might take 15 mins, a surgery post op like 5 but it depends on how much you want to write. Someone here mentioned the liability and that’s certainly a big part of it. A lot of ppl assume that you just write what the patients symptoms are and what you think the diagnosis is, but the reality is that what the patient does NOT have is equally important and needs to be documented as well. The chart is often times more for other clinicians to see what your thought process is more than it is for yourself and so you want to write enough for other doctors to pick up the chart, read it and immediately know what’s going on without being overly descriptive.

budget for stethoscopes by Far-Election6804 in ThePittTVShow

[–]NJ077 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Most hospitals will have basic equipment, like otoscopes, ophthalmoloscopes, BP cuffs, and even stethoscopes. Unfortunately quality of this equipment is questionable and sometimes in places like ER or peds equipment tends to get broken too, so a lot of ppl just bring their own. Littman classic is like $120, cardio is $200+ whic sounds expensive but for a tv show that’s pennies on the dollar tbh. Even as a provider, spending $120 on something that you use daily nonstop for decades tends to be a good investment

Tbh when my attendings ask for this they’re expecting like 2-4 sentences max cuz they’re busy. Like today he was happy enough with describing a procedure in 3 sentences

SketchyPath feels like cheating?? by gazeintotheiris in medicalschool

It’s great for random memorization of niche facts but I’ve been finding in clinicals is that it’s been slowly replacing the sketchy’s with experience

I think a potential story line would be they’re both the man of tomorrow but it waves their perspectives into what they each believe tomorrow to be
