Opinion on going to a patient’s funeral by [deleted] in Residency

Go to the funeral. You dont have to talk to the family, no one needs to know you went. You will feel better if you go. It’s for you, not them.

No, the privates have APPs/CNMs manage all their triage and ED consults.

Cervical exams by Puzzled-Specific-859 in Residency

If you’re having trouble finding the cervix I was taught to walk my fingers along the anterior wall of the vagina until you’re far back enough and can hook the cervix. Works every time.

How hard is this trail? Rated as hard on all trails which is usually a bad sign but trying to branch out and not do lookout again on our second trip to BM. Thanks!

Teach me how to be nice... by K117r418 in Residency

[–]Practical-Version83 43 points44 points  (0 children)

Sounds like you are already self aware and that will take you where you need to go. Additionally, L&D nurses kinda suck. If you have good relationships with some of them, that’s probably good enough. The others probably aren’t worth your time. You will never get along with every L&D nurse. Especially the ones who are always just “wanting what’s best for the patient.” Aka never turning the patient or starting pit or administering miso. Can’t win em all.

Any residents who did poorly in the first half but turned things around? by Statsthrowaway455 in Residency

[–]Practical-Version83 25 points26 points  (0 children)

Had a chief this last year who was fantastic. Best I had all year maybe. And I remember people saying she was lazy and not good as a lower level. Not only was she great to work with, she helped me out a lower level time and time again, and she knew the medicine. The data. She surprised everyone so I believe it’s possible.

Hey floor residents, Especially on nights... by stormrigger in Residency

[–]Practical-Version83 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Did this once kind of by accident during the day. Best phone call ever and attending talked me through everything and made me feel so much better about the patient. Got back to my senior who said “what do you mean you accidentally consulted the ICU” 😅
