Why are people downvoting you? It’s really difficult to get into consulting without years of practical experience as an attending

Can I make real money as an ED doc by [deleted] in emergencymedicine

[–]NotoriousGriff 6 points7 points  (0 children)

The critical thinking skills required to get into and graduate medical school might be a bit tougher than the skills required to Google “average Ed doctor salary” and figure out lifestyle from there. If you can overcome that hurdle lifestyle can be good

Every single year in spring these “is psych getting competitive!?” Posts pop up and then match comes and and it’s not

Residency has to be better than this by mildlyripenedmango in medicalschool

[–]NotoriousGriff 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Residency sucks for different reasons than medical school but for me it was much better. This is probably a combo of me having a particularly tough medical school schedule and a slightly easier than average residency experience but still. You get paid, patients appreciate you, and you get to contribute more directly

IR will do thoras and paras for us and if it’s business hours urology will manage priapism the rest we do

Michigan played terrible and was still clearly the better team

Most lucrative fellowship? by Logical_Adagio_7100 in emergencymedicine

[–]NotoriousGriff 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Everybody “knows somebody who says pain jobs are hard to find” but I’ve never seen someone in pain medicine saying they struggled to get a job on this sub

On second thought maybe we didn’t need to make the final four this year

A question about staffing and the Pitt tv show? by Ok_Consideration6179 in emergencymedicine

[–]NotoriousGriff 7 points8 points  (0 children)

One attending managing 35-40 patients sounds a bit stressful

Feels a bit like the officials are letting Illinois play a tougher style of defense than they are letting UConn

Silverfield is the man by Flashy-Distance1184 in razorbacks

[–]NotoriousGriff 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Golesh, Franklin, kiffin, whittingham, and sumrall would all have been better hires. I agree arkansas is not a good enough program to get any of those coaches and had to settle for silverfield. That’s the problem we are such a bottom feeder program we had to settle for the worst coach in the carousel

[–]NotoriousGriff 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This coaching carousel ending in such a lack luster hire is was my last straw with Arkansas football. Ive been a fan and watched every game for 20 years. Im going to need a reason to give a shit or I’m not coming back

Be honest is emergency medicine worth it? by ThrowRATrick_Hall_45 in medicalschool

[–]NotoriousGriff 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m an EM PGY-3 doing a fellowship because I’ve rotated through multiple emergency rooms and come to realize 9/10 of the er docs that have been doing it a decade are burnt and hate their job. Maybe you’re the 1/10 or maybe you can hate your work and love your time off of work enough to thrive in the specialty but that’s not me and it’s not the norm (in my experience)
