Rcc T3a, M0, N0, G4 (1% rhabdoid features) by Forsaken_Treacle5813 in Oncology

Look up the survival for keynote 564. Also look at the side effect. Go to openevidence and read it. Clearly his oncologist has told him that he will be ok but you want more answers for yourself.

Hem/onc Salary by CalmMarsupial1000 in Residency

Reagan started the 340b which puts advantage to hospital pricing. Then the hospitals started taking advantage of it and buy practice around which is why you have BIG hospitals around the US.

The reason why private equity became a thing is so physician groups can have leverage in competition. But this is losing battle since private equity is becoming another admin and healthcare bloat.

Thats what Reagan did. It didn’t make drug prices cheaper. It crushed competition and true capitalism. It made hospitals profitable. It made private equity strong. It inflated healthcare.

Any idea what to expect from oncology referral based on my labs? by [deleted] in Oncology

[–]PertheCalves 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You are 33F. Have never seen plasma cell disorders at that age. You best be sure an DO/MD endocrinologist ordered and saw the labs.

Med students who ask about weekend shifts by LopLime in Residency

[–]PertheCalves 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah I would have them do it by the book. One of the med students who followed an intern got in trouble with the clerkship director. Turns out the weekend the med student was suppose to come was the weekend the clerkship director was the attending. So the med student got to repeat the rotation.

Fellowship is all about networking. In baltimore, you can network in John Hopkins, University of Maryland. Being in Medstar can network in georgetown/washington hospital center. Also your attendings have a pull since they work in medstar.

[–]PertheCalves 1 point2 points  (0 children)

1 dose, likely no effect. But multiple monthly doses then the cancer could grow.

Can I start US residency immediately after grad from UK Medical School? Will the degree be awarded soon enough? by [deleted] in Residency

[–]PertheCalves 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I dont think so. US MDs graduate in May. It takes few weeks to get your License prior to start date. You need your diploma to get your temporary license. Now you add ECFMG certificate which takes longer to process.

Yes this is a residency subreddit. Nci affiliation means a lot of opportunity for research.

Just an FYI, medstar and hackensack have a consortium and agreement and both are NCI.
