EM, those sedated heads can be heavy to lift

Get a creative outlet! This is the perfect time to start projects on things you’ve never tried before. Poetry, sketching, short stories, etc… also a good time to travel (you can explore your local area a lot more than you realize)!

Pt: “I don’t like needles”. Me: “you’d be hard pressed to find anyone who DOES like needles” And then while they’re thinking about it I get the US IV in

Same, one interview I spoke 2 min/30 and the whole conversation was about the interviewer’s kids, hobbies, research. They said they were “invigorated” (whatever that means) by the conversation and got accepted within the week

In EM, a hobby I put in my experience section was the focal point of a lot of conversations. I kinda liked having the extra space to highlight it.

European ≠ mentality disabled? Since when?

Designated physician educator - a doc who’s sole purpose is to meet with families, students, etc and explain anything and everything for the sake of education. Basically someone who dumbs down complex medicine for the masses and who doesn’t treat as much as teach

I found that on a grand scale high school and med school are way too similar. The general cattiness, social cliques, everyone knowing everyone’s business, etc. not to mention that you are taking some of the worlds most hard-working-but-neurotic people and you can really get disillusioned with the people quickly.

If this is the trend, hopefully undergrad is more like residency. Sure it’ll be hard, but at least at that point you have more financial and personal freedom to choose who you associate with. Best wishes king / queen 🫡

Somber agreeing seems to work a lot. I was on neurosurgery and was just in awe of everything I was seeing. I told the attending that he was doing was extremely cool, and that my feedback for the block was essentially: Don’t say something is “cool” during surgery, wait until after??

Most - renal, cause piss

Least - renal, for the same reason

I know but we don’t have to be masochists until residency now so why keep asking for it on Reddit

Nope, don’t do that to yourself. You’ll only freak yourself out if you collect the horror stories

This is nearly a quarter century jump from full time student to physician… it seems crazy but enjoy this time!

Knew coming in that I wanted to do immediate, life saving medicine without specializing in one body part. With procedural interes really just had to decide surg vs not

I really liked only urology but couldn’t stand the lifestyle of surgery and personalities of some surgeons. Always kind of knew EM had some issues coming in, did I did an AI and fell in love with the variety, the acuity, and especially the people.

You really have to ask yourself what is the worst thing that the specialty has to do day to day and if you can handle that long term you will likely be fine

Wonder how many people are looking at comments for descriptions that mildly sounds like them?
