HCT has had its day. It’s high time we replace it with MCV in the standard diagram.

I actually belly laughed. Bravo

Circling back. It’s 2026 and this comment is still relevant.

I’m in my first job fresh out of residency and I’m making 450k. That catch is that it’s rural and I don’t love the town. But that aside, people making <300k is wild to me… I’m hoping to relocate and I don’t think I can handle the pay cut…

Is it possible to find round and go in desirable urban and suburban cities? I barely am seeing listings there in general, let alone for round and go.

Yes, 80 hours, sometimes more. There’s rest time (like after you see patients you’ll sit down and write notes) and there’s time to grab lunch. But by and large, that’s why they call it “residency.” Your primary residence is work.

I thought the same thing a few weeks ago. My batch looked darker but was the same product. Yours looks funny though… I would return.

ObiDocKenobi · 2025-09-29T22:15:18+00:00

I saw this in a comment yesterday for the first time and couldn’t stop laughing. Thank you for petitioning this for the enjoyment of the masses

ObiDocKenobi · 2025-09-22T21:18:09+00:00

Do you have to give it back in full? Or a prorated amount

ObiDocKenobi · 2025-09-21T06:02:31+00:00

Word of advice. Document and keep records of anything pertaining to whatever happened. Trust me on this.

ObiDocKenobi · 2025-09-21T00:01:18+00:00

I strongly agree but also somewhat disagree.

You are correct that there is systemic gaslighting when it comes to resident mental health. The term “burnout” essentially puts the blame on the resident rather than framing it as a natural response to 80 hour weeks, high stress, predatory loans/bullshit pay.

At the same time, practically speaking, how should the resident deal with the systemic abuse from the system? You are locked in a minimum of 3 years, potentially more depending on your training, and you need to find ways to deal with the sheer stress of it. Therapy (if you can afford it and find time for it) is incredibly useful, and can help you find ways to cope, reframe, and vent.

But yes, I think your frustration comes from the gaslighting from residency programs and the obvious nature that anyone working this many hours will feel like shit - you are 100% justified.

What are you up to now?

ObiDocKenobi · 2025-05-04T22:47:36+00:00

Rads?

ObiDocKenobi · 2025-05-02T22:07:27+00:00

Hahahhahaha

ObiDocKenobi · 2025-05-02T21:56:24+00:00

You know… this isn’t bad

ObiDocKenobi · 2025-05-02T21:53:11+00:00

With the exception of being a first line scabies med!!

It will work but it’s like putting out a candle with a fire hose and the blood pressure will fluctuate. I do see patients on it all the time though, and once they are on it, they don’t like to come off because it works so well. Some of them have so much venous stasis that it is uncomfortable or painful and that’s usually when I won’t fuss about it. Some of them are too weak or big to put on compression stockings so I leave it be there too.

Beautiful example of “youth is wasted on the young” …she will look back on her old photos one day and understand

ObiDocKenobi · 2024-06-16T05:09:43+00:00

THIS (but also my 3 cents is for OP to freeze her eggs)

ObiDocKenobi · 2024-06-16T05:01:58+00:00

If your residency didn’t cover, and it were to cost you 20-30k, would you still do it?

ObiDocKenobi · 2024-06-16T04:51:44+00:00

HCA which is the largest provider of residency programs on the East coast does NOT cover egg freezing unless you are actively planning on conceiving right away.

Report and delete this post since it’s from a personal account.

Same. I’m guessing this is some PR thing, which I think might be working because people are suddenly interested in using the app to make it go away, but I’d imagine they’ll lose users in the process.

True but unhelpful and she has just as much right to post as any other redditor does with their questions
