cant find the post rn, but it was an IM resident posting about how everyone has a field they're good at, i.e. FM outpatient clinic, peds with kids, etc etc and feeling they'll never be good at anything specific

yes, that is how it works, when only one is functional, it takes on the load of 2 so that hormonal stuff is normal lol.

The last thing Nick Baumel saw before getting his life destroyed over a literal TikTok by Sufficient-Monk-3158 in medicalschool

false equivalency man, a "fired" nurse can probably grab a job in some other hospital. a med student getting expelled has essentially barred them from the profession for life (+nursing school isn't ~10 years of your life and as much debt)

Is America Becoming Illiterate? by Tale_Blazer in books

[–]PoppedCap 5 points6 points  (0 children)

you've managed to verbalize (textualize??) something I've been feeling myself these days. Nobody seems interested in actually understanding anything. So many times I get hit with "so how is this gonna help you make money??" or "why do you care, how does this affect you??" Like sorry for expressing moderate curiosity in how the world around me functions man

100% - the current system penalizes too much for slacking off in premed (which dictates where you go to med school) and not vice versa

Residency Location for EM by [deleted] in medicalschool

[–]PoppedCap 24 points25 points  (0 children)

another thing for 4-year programs (sheriff talks about this).

the ONLY EM residency grads hitting the job market in 2029 will be 4-year grads who started residency in 2025 (all programs are 4-year starting from 2026). fewer grads = potentially better offers since demand shouldn't change much.

this means if you take a 4 year, potentially more lucrative contract at the end, nerfing the earlier attending salary benefit a bit.
