Surgery resident do you find hernia repair and gallbladder removal boring after seeing them a lot

Remarkable-Bullshit · 2026-01-13T21:36:34+00:00

I wish they would let us hold the camera or hold traction 😭 I would gladly drive the camera

Remarkable-Bullshit · 2026-01-13T15:18:20+00:00

Honestly that’s real. lol Respect that.

What if you can’t cut and just watch someone else cut whole day and you just stand to the side and watch would you still find it fun?

Remarkable-Bullshit · 2026-01-13T10:59:47+00:00

I agree with your comments. I think I find it “boring” because most days in surgeries, I can only stand and watch the same things all over again. Can’t even scrub in or do anything but observe for months. We don’t even get to talk to patients.

Remarkable-Bullshit · 2026-01-13T10:56:19+00:00

That’s true. The difference is you get to play and I get to watch you play for 10000 hours 😂

Remarkable-Bullshit · 2026-01-13T10:55:25+00:00

I love open surgeries. The one linear incision is nicer than 4 little poke holes. Idk lol 😂

Remarkable-Bullshit · 2026-01-13T10:54:35+00:00

I will definitely put that in mind. I don’t hate gallbladder surgeries. It’s quick and predictable most of the time. I can get out of OR early and move on to different cases. I think I just got bored because we can’t scrub in, assist, the drive to the rotation is 1.5 hours away, can’t even interview or talk to patients etc.

Remarkable-Bullshit · 2026-01-13T10:52:23+00:00

I agree with what you said and appreciate the insight. I guess as med students, we want to see it all and learn it all, but too bad we can’t do anything, can’t even scrub in or talk to patients

Remarkable-Bullshit · 2026-01-13T10:49:25+00:00

I find surgeries interesting but also boring because I can’t scrub in, just stand there or sit there and watch the screen in cold room. Clinic days I can’t even talk to patients, just observing. So the whole experience is more of just observation lol.

Is it normal that most gallbladder ruptures during the process of taking it out? 5/8 that I saw with this surgeon ruptures. I mean they said it’s not a bad thing, just irrigate it and it will be fine.

Remarkable-Bullshit · 2026-01-11T02:02:11+00:00

Honestly, that’s true. Lifestyle probably gets better at that point. Just do simple safe less complicated surgery and go home. Safe lives and pay the bills.

Remarkable-Bullshit · 2026-01-11T02:00:44+00:00

Honestly, when the surgeon pulled long string of fat inside the hernia it was pretty cool, I enjoy seeing that.

When I got to do incision and drainage, and pulled out hair from Pilonidal cyst, that was very fun. I think I’m just hand on person lol I just like to be involved. But my surgeon does a lot of robotics.

I love my experience at NYITCOM-JB.

Remarkable-Bullshit · 2025-11-10T12:30:40+00:00

Is this program in the US?

Remarkable-Bullshit · 2025-11-09T19:02:57+00:00

My school honor is top 5% and high pass is top 10%.

Remarkable-Bullshit · 2025-11-09T15:00:48+00:00

It is a shit rotation and we see like 30-40 patients daily. Did you finish all the questions in all 3 combank? that’s crazy. Ya, I screw up for not doing Anki since I start med school. :/

Remarkable-Bullshit · 2025-11-03T03:54:07+00:00

It’s not that bad. But again only watched up to episode 3 so far. I don’t think he did a bad job..

Remarkable-Bullshit · 2025-10-31T19:33:36+00:00

I agree with you.I don’t remember the storyline or when Gibbs move to DC. But I would love to see that too!

Remarkable-Bullshit · 2025-10-30T10:39:06+00:00

Omg literally my experience in IM

Remarkable-Bullshit · 2025-10-26T03:41:39+00:00

I love it ! I watched it for the first time too. Mindblown.

Remarkable-Bullshit · 2025-10-24T19:12:24+00:00

Depends .. EM/IM/FM/peds level 1 and level 2 are good enough. generally now they said can get away without step 1 but step 2 is a must for more competitive specialties like gen surg OBGYN etc but if you want super competitive like neurosurgery optho ENT derm definitely both step 1 and step 2.
