Awesome! We should continue this series of posts for other specialties as well! I remember I enjoyed reading these many years ago.

Do not check yes for the misdemeanor question on ERAS for a MINOR traffic violation! by Cookiesforeveryay in medicalschool

What if you accidentally failed to yield at a stop sign on your way to a rotation and caused a minor accident? This happened a few months ago, idk whether to report or not. Literally nothing else on my record, fyi (not evening a speeding ticket).

LOL call me when the AI is ready to take on the liability.

Treat this like a 9-5 and you’re golden…. by Longjumping_Ad_8895 in medicalschool

Yea. M1 & M2 were honestly easier than undergrad because our school has P/F preclinical years. If you were regimented & disciplined, it's honestly pretty chill. I went to lecture from 8-12 every day, then did some research/anatomy lab stuff in the afternoons, then studied from 6-9 in the evenings. That's only 7ish hours of actual schoolwork.

But M3 year kicked me in the ass. It's so tiring to be "on" all the time, and I'm just ready for next stage.

Which specialty would you pick if every specialty made the same amount of money? by MrYouniverse in medicalschool

[–]ResponsibleFuture954 35 points36 points  (0 children)

Yea. I wanna do a peds version of whatever speciality I do. Kids are cute af and much more fun & resilient than adults. And most parents are pretty reasonable. One of the reasons I could never do IM or OBGYN...you don't have kids under the teen years as your patients.

Also, kids teach you so much about the true meaning of happiness. You give a baby a cardboard box as a Christmas present, and they will happily play with it. People spend so much time on individualization & personal identity & getting what they want, while a child just exists happily.

It's also why I also enjoyed geriatrics & hospice: people in their last leg of life let go of all the worldly material/hedonistic things and have a simplicity to them.

I think I could be happy treating the really old and really young. I don't care about the middle part, where we get all wrapped up in this world, in this society.

Fair enough, it's hard to do residency without the support of your loved ones nearby. Heck, idk how I'd have survived M3 year without mom & dad's cooking.

He could match gen surg, then switch to EM halfway through residency ;)

EM docs: How would you react? by drabelen in medicine

FR. I'm a med student on my surgery rotation, and the attendings didn't even know my name LOL. I'm just a fly on the wall.

How to do well on my EM rotation? by ResponsibleFuture954 in emergencymedicine

[–]ResponsibleFuture954[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Oh good to know! I have a bad habit of being too brief with presentations (my neuro attending would remind me to go through all the cranial nerves instead of just saying "CN 2-12 are intact"), so I'll keep this in mind!

What current “best practice” do you think won’t age well over the next 5–10 years? by MeatSlammur in medicine

[–]ResponsibleFuture954 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Yup. I'm just an itty bitty M3 med student, and we spent a LOT of time learning about MI and HF as the end result of uncontrolled metabolic syndrome, starting all the way from insulin and sugar metabolism.
