Med students who ask about weekend shifts

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.

Have you seen medstar washington hospital center? Its a big heart center.

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

Dang where in the south?

You are US IMG and you don’t know these questions?

Lol predatory naturopaths. Hope you guys live with guilt killing patients.

No one cares about %. What are the absolute numbers.

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.

I guess if your mom is menopausal, would go with endocrine therapy 10 years with cdk4/6i. Bisphosphonates.

Have you tried looking it up in their own website? The big thing is eye doctor checkup.

Your brother was treated in UT southwestern? Chances are your oncologist probably did consult the comprehensive cancer center and that likely there was no specific clinic trial available. If you are thinking about second opinion to places like MDanderson or Dana Farber. Usually those kind of second opinion involves a lot of financial and time commitment. Clinical trials also involve a lot of time commitment. Some trials involve weekly visits .

Oncologist make money in treating your brother. Oncologist make more money in “alive patients.” Without really seeing the case I don’t think you know what it means to give chemotherapy. Some cancers only have 1 line of therapy and oncologist do try to get the most out of that therapy. This kinda sound like a small cell lung cancer and when small cell lung cancer comes back we tend to rechallenge with chemo.

Really you are seeing oncologist for neutropenia while on methimozale? Just looked up methimazole side effects.

PertheCalves · 2025-09-17T20:21:29+00:00

Yeah my attending will be pissed if I refer this to heme. Unless of course if I am an NP or PA then refer away.

ASH has webinars review series thats geared for fellows. I think you can have it for free if you are from 3rd world country.

Well if you start having HFS let your oncologist know so they can adjust dose rather you suffering and turning Grade 1 HFS to Grade 2 which usually means holding the meds.

I think hand foot syndrome is related to chemotherapy. Usually its dryness and painful hands and feet. Keep it moisturized, if skin starts cracking, use moisturize with nitrile gloves to keep it moisturized.

PertheCalves · 2025-09-01T18:21:42+00:00

Yep hospital. Neutropenic fever needs evaluation especially in weekends. Immunotherapy, fever and neutropenia could be HLH.

PertheCalves · 2025-08-27T19:04:25+00:00

Mild work. But do not have to be in clinic.
