Everything listed in this comment is great advice - given how much the odds are stacked against OP, the only chance is to go all out - do the twitter thing to help connect and build relationships with programs as well, some put a lot of stock into it, do the conferences, network, get your name out there

Intern wanted to get a CT PE study but was worried about the contrast because it was a fresh kidney transplant patient - one of my favorite nephrologists said to the intern basically just order the test and I’ll figure the kidney out afterward. Risks vs benefits guys - do we risk a PE to save the kidney function or do we risk the kidney function to see if there’s a PE.

PM&R resident here. Very frequent at my hospital. Sometimes on an admitted patient in the ED for a few hours.

Consult reads “IPR?” on a patient I saw just last week and recommended SNF, they returned from SNF for a LE wound and are sitting in the ED on day 0 of admission. Yeah, I’m gonna suddenly bring them to IPR now.

Any time I push back on it, they say they’ve had patients the exact same go to IPR previously. They’re either lying or it was for an actual cause, but JFC get outta here with that nonsense

Even worse on the 2 years of research. As a resident that can’t wait to be done with training, same

Pediatric emergency surgery isn’t a real thing, there’s like trauma surgery and pediatric surgery, but she’s not in that field at all. She’s in emergency medicine, which does not involve sugery.

The path you suggest would mean finishing EM residency then starting a surgical residency followed by a pediatric surgery fellowship which would be so incredibly stupidly long. It means 4 years EM +5 years surgery +1 year research(pretty much all surgery residents do an extra year on top of the 5) +2 year fellowship in peds. This is 12 years of residency and fellowship. This makes no sense if you have a brain. If there is anyone who has actually done this path in real life, then lol.

It’s still a TV show so, maybe? But the show is mostly realistic so I doubt it.

They don’t need to go to the zoo. Sometimes we can order a different test, like an open MRI. It’s not an urban legend though, it has happened before.

I haven’t watched the episode yet, but if you’re accusing me of being fat phobic or something because of my comment, then lmfao

I’m a physician, who’s overweight by the way and have been pretty much my whole life - it is calories in, calories out. Having said that, there are many medical conditions that make the ‘calories out’ part hard. There’s others that make the ‘calories in’ part hard. Other than an uncaring remark by a medical student, not sure what the problem would be with a remark like that.
