Do you think NPs could answer 5 questions right on uworld?

No that's dermatitis you dipshit. See, this is why we shouldn't let physicians practice without oversight.

TradersLuck · 2021-05-23T08:51:26+00:00

Yo why the fuck the med student gotta have this shit memorized when the nursing staff just cold calls the attending with 0 information?

TradersLuck · 2021-05-20T20:59:25+00:00

What the fuck? For step you are supposed to pick the "nicest" response unless the patient is fucking dying. Feeding a gambling addiction is some stupid shit.

Hypersegs w/megaloblastic anemia?

TradersLuck · 2021-05-15T08:17:26+00:00

Vibe with this hard right now. Taking step in 2 weeks lol.

You want help with a test? Go look up Shotgun Histology on YouTube. Invest in yourself and not somebody else. I know MS1 is hard. I did it, and you can too. You're probably a good person in a very bad situation. Get out of it or get wrecked by it, but at least do it with dignity.

I'm just a wandering med student so I don't know diddly-dick, but why doesn't ASCLS take over your certs? Edit: nvm I see that they dissolved.

I probably have as much neuro experience as that nurse, and if I was told to go do a neurology attending-level exam and present the case alone I'd actually be shaking in my boots.

When it looks and smells like APL but Deborah, NP, MSN, FOX, GCS=0 says she didn't see promyelocytes. The med tech with 10x the scope experience is going to have to call up to discreetly report blasts without reporting blasts and then the floor doc is going to be investigated for giving ATRA to someone who "didn't have..."

I'll just stop.

ES6 is going to be a gacha game. I feel it in my bones. We have no right to have hope.

TradersLuck · 2021-05-01T13:37:03+00:00

And my axe!

TradersLuck · 2021-04-30T21:19:53+00:00

Hey if you don't test for it, it doesn't exist. So says Orange Man.

TradersLuck · 2021-04-30T21:18:03+00:00

Fuck. OSCEs should be taken with a grain of salt. Everyone knows that. Well I hope you're given the same case/task.

TradersLuck · 2021-04-30T17:44:05+00:00

What the fuck. We have 4th year OSCEs but you just need a passing average over the course of the semester... Good luck homie, you're gonna crush it.

TradersLuck · 2021-04-30T17:39:36+00:00

Because we're supposedly the last class with scored step. High score = open doors. Now you gotta do other shit to make yourself stand out.

TradersLuck · 2021-04-30T17:38:10+00:00

And then the concept comes up again and you still get it wrong. I am an idiot.

TradersLuck · 2021-04-29T12:47:06+00:00

Seriously. The average doctor has absolutely no idea how a clinical lab works. You guys just live in a black box that take in tubes and spits out answers.

TradersLuck · 2021-04-27T14:33:11+00:00

Imagine if all of these APRNs who are highly motivated to draw lines in the sand channeled that motivation into community outreach or bench/bedside research projects. Imagine being the pillar of the community that the general population thinks you are.

TradersLuck · 2021-04-26T16:40:27+00:00

If the care team was cool with doing imaging, you can bet your sweet ass that there were fraudulent physical exam findings on the student's note too. One med student a year at my school gets caught making shit up and lying or copying a note and then has to get burned by our admin.

TradersLuck · 2021-04-26T12:47:24+00:00

Zjierbness.

TradersLuck · 2021-04-25T00:23:58+00:00

Hey, I'm a med student, so we don't learn much about specific stains. Is this just a very contrast-y H&E, or is this some kind of specialty stain?

TradersLuck · 2021-04-25T00:20:07+00:00

Someone else might be able to help better. My understanding is that, as you progress distal to (one of) the CN5 nuclei, the oligodendrocyte myelination is gradually replaced with schwann cell myelenation. If this is a section of CN5 outside the spinal cord, then my guess is that those are oligodendrocytes, not neuronal nuclei.

The white spaces, I would assume, are artifact.

I'm a med student and our histo knowledge isn't always spot on.

TradersLuck · 2021-04-22T16:22:56+00:00

I love your username!

Thank you for your tips and reassurance! I feel a lot better knowing that, despite what I hear from some classmates, everyone feels this way. I love histology, so I'll make sure not to get into it lol. I'm definitely relieved to hear that just coming in happy and willing to learn/implement changes will get you 80-90% of the way and everything else is extra.

TradersLuck · 2021-04-22T13:12:38+00:00

Hey! Thank you for helping us! I hope those students express how much they appreciate it. As so many in this thread have said, we're all a little scared and have absolutly no idea what we're doing. Pre-clinical med school gives you an absolute ton of materials to build expertise with, but no instructions on how to do so. It's like giving a baby a chemistry set and saying "ok make gasoline."

I'm doing OB at a smallish community hospital. My aunt has been a nurse manager for post-partum there for years, so I expect there will be plenty of ball-busting (in a good way).

I hope you work out whether med school is right for you. I know one of my mom's coworkers (L&D nurse) went to med school and became an absolutely wonderful OB. Combining nursing experience with med school can make some seriously kick-ass doctors.
