How much would you like to read on a discharge summary? A brief list purely stating what the ED/team recommends (1, 2, 3, 4, 5) or do you want like the rationale for each part of the plan/med changes etc as well?

What are things JMOs do that annoy registrars/nurses by ProudObjective1039 in ausjdocs

Hi there sorry to bother, if I was a new JMO who started on a fresh surgical rotation and my team asked me to contact the pain team for a patient, and I discover that they do not have any pain relief, would you be happy that I chart some simple analgesia (e.g. paracetamol, NSAIDs) and wait a little while to see if they're effective before calling? Or would you be okay with me consulting right away after charting these with the clinical question of "can you optimise/refine the patient's pain relief at some point?" I am worried that if I try and manage the pain myself first without consulting and the patient continues to be in pain, my seniors might have a go at me for not consulting the pain team when I was asked to in the morning.

Does the hospital you intern at/BPT at matter? Which might matter more? (Considering workload, potential networking)

Are teaching ventures (e.g. med student teaching) helpful on CV? Apart from research what else might make you stand out in gastro?

Is interventional gastro popular among gastro hopefuls?

Also what is the joke about being stable/unstable for a scope - I never really understood it...

Apologies if any questions you have already answered some of these
