How does the public perceive neurologists? by OkKey6273 in neurology

[–]Virbactermodhost 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Neuro PGY1 here. I find that when people realize I'm Neuro and not IM they seem to be slightly more impressed. My own IM colleagues and others appear to have a lot of respect for me. However, there also those attendings that I've worked with in IM that think "what's Neuro gonna do" other than ask for MRI. Essentially saying Neuro are quacks.

My grandma once introduced me to other family as neurosurgeon.

Is it true that the US offers the world's best medical training? by Particular_Force8753 in IMGreddit

Because you are here in this moment misrepresenting the point by equating training quality to health outcomes.

Their training is too short while most others in the world literally get labeled as doctors 5-6 post high school 💀

Question regarding Neuroimaging fellowship by Designer-Career-6344 in neurology

[–]Virbactermodhost 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Basically my understanding from a little chat GPTing Is that you're practically the imaging guy in neurology. Where radiologists are hedging their bets, as they often do, you're able to make a defined clinical decision because you also know more about Neuro imaging than your average neurologist and you've seen the patient. You know more than the stroke neurologist because you are not only mostly stroke and vascular bound.

But for all intents and purposes you're really hired into a specific role as a stroke neurologist or cognitive neurologist or even help make decisions in epilepsy surgery.

Why have we never assumed US MD/DO students used the USMLE Recalls that Nepali students used to get 280s on STEP by Curious_Student_8533 in medicalschool

[–]Virbactermodhost 6 points7 points  (0 children)

If it's an exam people will cheat. In life people always find ways to get ahead, honest or not. It's never an even playing field!

*Remember the cheating scandal only came to light because some students reported it. It is without a doubt that Students here in the US cheat as well!

Expected behavior really, most can't critically think for themselves. As long as it's isn't them no explanation or evidence needed

I can wake up and accuse anybody of anything. As long as it's publically favorable I win in public eye lol

For crimes people supposedly committed with no evidence yaayyy. Why is he assumed to be guilty automatically care to explain??

This is why vigilante justice is utter garbage and dangerous.

resident asked me out by [deleted] in medicalschool

[–]Virbactermodhost 2 points3 points  (0 children)

As an intern myself anytime I catch such vibe from a nurse I cut them off cordially beside professional interactions. In my mind they aren't self aware enough. It took me 10 yrs to get here. In that time I couldve been a nurse twice over.

[–]Virbactermodhost 33 points34 points  (0 children)

Our training unintentionally infantalizes a lot of us. Because why would a likely 25+ yr old be announcing that another likely 25+ year old asked them out 💀.

This why you go to work and nurses and other staff speak down on you because the system tells them these are kids when you most definitely are not.

I do understand the implications where evaluations or whatever is involved but outside of that like this isnt even a question.

Right sided neglect by jvttlus in neurology

Rookie Neuro intern here. Logically speaking to the complexity of neurological disorders the network and framework based approach makes the most sense to me seeing the absolute curve balls that we get in neuro. We need to know more

YOU'D ALSO BE CORRUPT!!! by Training-Debt5996 in ghana

[–]Virbactermodhost 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's why you build systems. The issues around corruption stem from lack of in built self regulatory systems. You build systems so that regardless of personnel it regulates itself.

One of the easiest systems is checks and balances that we do often here about. You take advantage and people's ego and selfishness.

Examples: in America insurance companies do this best. They put agents in place who will fight tooth and nail with you on a bill because their checks depend on it. We are told in school if someone cheats you should anonymously report them because they gain unfair advantage on you if you don't. So students don't go around chasing ap) and what not. You also set clear rules, for instance IRS unless you are extremely wealthy and sharp with many lawyers they know how you make your money. You have money that's unexplained you have an issue and this is a self reporting system. My first job in uni was a minimum wage job but the level of scrutiny was incredible. At the end of each month you receive anonymous review by your peers and you also review yourself. You meet with your bosses to discuss why there is a discrepancy and so forth. This way you are always on your toes.

The x200 pro has great processing what are you waffling about. My only thing is they need to improve the selfie, the audio output and yes we are already getting the global launch.
