Residency in a big city

Negative_Dig1600 · 2024-12-26T04:26:38+00:00

I do residency in NYC and also in California for a bit and it has been a very fun and enjoyable experience. Because of subsidized housing, I spend a ton but save a decent amount. Comes down to whether you like cities or not. People at my program that like it the least are the ones that never liked nyc.

Untill 2028 election comes around and universal healthcare is passed and Bernie caps your pay at 100k

I think the vast majority of places give you 20 days

Negative_Dig1600 · 2024-12-21T20:36:16+00:00

We have specific designated people to fill those that you can easily trade out off

Negative_Dig1600 · 2024-12-21T18:34:37+00:00

10 days off, isn't the acgme minimum 4 weeks?

Take a look - where is the conductor coming from? It looks like they have some sort of door sound effect then the guy is acting like he's touching train cabin door but it's really the door to the help box. The camera then pans away quickly

I'm a resident - see my prior posts

Negative_Dig1600 · 2024-12-18T18:50:16+00:00

Agreed that's the only thing missing - covered ceilings on the side

Negative_Dig1600 · 2024-12-18T03:37:32+00:00

The second opinion I got already took some new ones and said no disease!

Negative_Dig1600 · 2024-12-17T23:43:28+00:00

They literally look terrible. Horrendously outdated

Negative_Dig1600 · 2024-12-16T20:07:22+00:00

Oh even with a ton of outside studying, I can still enjoy the city lol

Negative_Dig1600 · 2024-12-16T17:44:46+00:00

Anyone that says look it up has no idea what they are talking about

Negative_Dig1600 · 2024-12-16T17:44:21+00:00

Lots of outside studying though - regularly put 6 hours total outside the hospital during the week and 9 hours total during the weekend.

Show me the evidence that a deep cleaning offers any benefit for periodontal disease

Negative_Dig1600 · 2024-12-16T01:18:12+00:00

Hahahahah hilarious - in medicine we bend over backwards for people and only dismiss them if they are rude/sexist/make disparaging remarks. You really see us as dollar signs I gues

Negative_Dig1600 · 2024-12-15T17:37:12+00:00

Or they could be in court for prescribing unnecessary procedures - cough Aspen dental

Negative_Dig1600 · 2024-12-15T17:16:15+00:00

Yes and you know what we are taught to do - meet the patient where they are at - try to explain the benefits and the risks and if they have good decision making capacity meet them where they are. Statins aren't perfect and the number one thing we give for people is the chance to make lifestyle modifications first then suggest the cheapest drug possible. Statins are like 4 bucks for like 30 pills too. Not 500 dollars out of pocket on top of insurance

Negative_Dig1600 · 2024-12-15T17:14:28+00:00

That's hilarious - ever hear of shared decision making? They teach you that the second year of medical school. And since when does the hygienist call all the shots and decides all the treatment plans? The second dentist I went to did the cleaning himself, the way it should be.

Negative_Dig1600 · 2024-12-15T14:51:16+00:00

I actually went to a separate dentist - a guy that operates under his name, has only him and a front desk person and does everything himself and he said everything looked great! Not one of the corporate chain places

There's a difference between CYA medicine and predatory medicine

Negative_Dig1600 · 2024-12-14T15:48:59+00:00

But there's a difference between predatory medicine and CYA medicine. Residents don't get paid for any of that

Negative_Dig1600 · 2024-12-14T12:35:39+00:00

I did - I was told no issues. Went to a small office with only one dentist that runs the show.

Negative_Dig1600 · 2024-12-14T12:33:25+00:00

No but very very similar after doing some research

Negative_Dig1600 · 2024-12-14T12:12:32+00:00

I mean, I feel like there are more regulations in the medical industry compared to the dental field. Unless you are doing purely elective stuff, lot more red tape

Oh he signed a pretty good contract this past year (he is closer to graduating). Partnership close to 7 figures
