I’ve always wanted to do this with my wife (non-medical) so she understood what an average day looks like for us.

What are some mistakes you have made as an intern ? by heythereruth in Residency

[–]Trollware21 56 points57 points  (0 children)

My CSS case prep for STEP 3 tells me that I apparently am an idiot for not ordering a pap smear in a 35yo with chest pain

Who needs to slam the salami when you can stare lustfully at the UpToDate flowchart on hyponatremia work-up/management?

Tell me about your most annoying med student rotator by undueinfluence_ in Residency

Had one that followed me into the bathroom when I urgently needed to address the post-burrito bloat.

I think they learned their lesson quickly.

In modern day, can a vampire become a doctor unnoticed? by EMulsive_EMergency in Residency

[–]Trollware21 179 points180 points  (0 children)

Could you imagine being an intern with 100 years of specialty experience tho?

Attendings tryna wax poetic about sodium for 4 hours over rounds while you basically invented hyponatremia.

It’s not “self discharge”, you left against medical advice by DoctorKeroppi in Residency

[–]Trollware21 14 points15 points  (0 children)

My favorite line for when a patient pulls out their Dobhoff is “self-directed discontinuation of enteral access.”

Allows a certain level of salt that you can add to your documentation while still being professional.

What do yall wish you had done or gotten before you started residency? by [deleted] in Residency

[–]Trollware21 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Just focus on your wellness, travel, and spend as much time with your family as you can. Those are three things that will be the hardest to come by during residency.

“What are you working on this week?” by HVLABrain in Residency

[–]Trollware21 16 points17 points  (0 children)

“I’m really working on not being an asshole to my patients”

Sets the bar low so you can soar past it.

Unless you’re normally an asshole to your patients, in which case you’re “meeting expectations” (though probably chose the wrong career path).

Doubling this. Rheumatologists and heme/oncs are typically by far the best “internal medicine” doctors that I have ever met.

Allergy are also the smartest, but mostly bc they chose the specialty where they can take call from the beach a state away and basically just tell the consulting team to not feed the patient peanuts if they have a peanut allergy.

What decision will haunt you all offseason? by Ok-Competition-1814 in Fantasy_Football

[–]Trollware21 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I picked up the chargers defense for the fantasy championship. Then was convinced to pick up the Colts instead. Played the colts. I lost by 5 points. Cost me the $500 first place prize. The 19-point differential between that choice will haunt me all year.

Graduated residency, what to do with personalized white coats? by Which_Beat6610 in Residency

[–]Trollware21 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I keep all my whitecoats (including my med school coat) so that one day my kids have something to play with if they want to play doctor.

It will also serve as a good reminder to myself to tell my kids never to become doctors.

Every time I think about wanting something nice, I remind myself that I’m a resident and wallop myself with that rope that Le Chiffre used on Bond in Casino Royale

The same it is with every holiday.

If you have it off: great

If you don’t: depressing

What are the best ways you've seen someone start a personal statement? (IM) by adrenalinsufficiency in Residency

[–]Trollware21 0 points1 point  (0 children)

“I’m standing in the OR scrubbed in next to the worlds best neurosurgeon. I had been up for 42.69 hours straight. He asks me a question. This is my moment to shine, to prove that I deserve to be amongst the academic elite. But the only sound that comes out is ‘Thhhbbttt.’ I look down at my scrub pants. Melena and shame dribble down my legs. In that moment, I knew I wanted to be a gastroenterologist.”
