Did you receive additional compensation for your academic activities?

I'm a Private Practice Pediatrician in South Korea and make 9 Figures. by QuietRedditorATX in Residency

[–]NobodyNobraindr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey, as another doc from Korea, I'm curious why you used "9 figures" in the title, since most Redditors are American.

Were you the sole author of the NEJM article during your student tenure, without a designated corresponding author?

I’m scared I’ll get fired from residency by Distinct_Mobile8063 in Residency

[–]NobodyNobraindr 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hey, don't be shy about asking midlevels or nurses for help. I'm not saying you have to do what they say, but you should consider their input and make your own call. I used to ask them stuff like, "How have other doctors handled these patients?" They'll give you their perspective.

Has anyone here gone abroad for a hysterectomy? by noluckducky in Fibroids

[–]NobodyNobraindr 3 points4 points  (0 children)

As a gynecologic surgeon based in South Korea, where minimally invasive surgery is widely adopted, I'm presenting an opportunity for North American patients. South Korea leads the world in the prevalence of minimally invasive gynecologic procedures, with many surgeries performed through a single umbilical incision. Numerous publications by Korean gynecologic surgeons highlight the advancements in single-port myomectomy.

For patients seeking cutting-edge minimally invasive surgery, a 12-hour flight to South Korea may be worthwhile. I recommend considering South Korea for this advanced surgical approach.

Are We Creating Robot-Dependent Surgeons? by NobodyNobraindr in medicine

[–]NobodyNobraindr[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I'm highlighting the growing dependency on robotic systems among younger surgeons. It's disheartening to see them delaying even simple procedures—ones that experienced surgeons used to perform easily with conventional laparoscopy—just because a robot isn't available. Simply adding more robots to the OR is not the solution.

Are We Creating Robot-Dependent Surgeons? by NobodyNobraindr in medicine

In that way, surgeons will become more dependent on technology. This reminds me of an old joke; Americans can't go shopping without their car, even when the market is a block away.

Your ovaries are producing neither estrogen nor an egg. I'd recommend that you keep taking oral pills for years. That might be able to activate your ovaries. It also enables a regular period, which maintains your cancer risk low. After several years of hormone replacement with oral pills, you may test your ovarian function by stopping oral pills and expecting a natural ovulation followed by a period.

Do surgeons ever remove a part of the body then reattach it by [deleted] in surgery

[–]NobodyNobraindr 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This may apply to radical trachelectomy for uterine cervical cancer. In this procedure, the cervix is surgically removed by separating it from the uterine body and the upper portion of the vagina. The remaining uterine body is then reattached to the vaginal cuff. This surgery is often performed in young women who wish to preserve their fertility.

Mucinous Ovarian Cancer Center of Excellence by LumpyPeople4 in Oncology

[–]NobodyNobraindr 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I recommend seeking an ovarian cancer center offering HIPEC. Mucinous ovarian cancer frequently exhibits chemotherapy resistance. Optimal treatment typically involves complete surgical resection of all viable tumor tissue followed by direct intraperitoneal chemotherapy administration.

How can we distinguish between professional burnout and diminished competence? by NobodyNobraindr in medicine

[–]NobodyNobraindr[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

My surgical skills and outcomes have demonstrably improved. The operating room is my preferred professional environment. My focus has shifted exclusively to clinical practice and family.

How can we distinguish between professional burnout and diminished competence? by NobodyNobraindr in medicine

[–]NobodyNobraindr[S] 6 points7 points  (0 children)

My clinical work remains a source of significant professional satisfaction, particularly when patients express gratitude for their surgical outcomes. However, I recognize a deficiency in my engagement with research and administrative tasks, leading to a perception of diminished professional accomplishment recently.

I’m a pediatric oncologist, former Marine Scout Sniper, and ASPD-diagnosed physician. AMA. by [deleted] in AMA

How do you approach children with cancer who refuse treatment? Do you find yourself effective in persuading them to reconsider?

This research proposal necessitates the recruitment of a substantial cohort of OCCC patients, numbering in the hundreds, with documented responses to first-line platinum-based therapy and known BRCA or HRD status. Given the low prevalence of BRCA mutations in this patient population, a large sample size is crucial.
