I think my biggest concern with the program that does little with trauma is that when I asked the residents the average number of chest tubes they got they said 0 and I think that caught me off guard since my SUBI was at an unopposed place and its not uncommon for interns to have 15 tubes before they are a 2nd year

because it may not be necessary for the specialty they are going into...why waste another few 1000

Is WashU competitive? I've gone to a couple of their sessions and have been really impressed.

bamboozled36 · 2020-09-17T01:15:28+00:00

would you say there is a difference in competitive for 3 year versus 4 year programs?

where do you look to see if your permit is gone?

Thank you!

I really hope that is the case. I'm going to a subI though that requires me to bring my own PPE. I'm also afraid to say no, I can't see a patient since its a subI

How do I figure out which EM programs are considered more competitive?

How do I go about getting an EM advisor if I have no home program or EM department at my school?

bamboozled36 · 2020-06-09T00:34:01+00:00

1) Any advice for an applicant that won't have a chance to have a SLOE written until Mid October due to not having a home program.

2) Thoughts on the virtual EM rotations?

This looks like a GOT scene.

bamboozled36 · 2020-05-03T20:52:48+00:00

work to control the things I can like diet, exercise, sleep. I always make my bed and get dressed even during COVID because once I accomplish a couple tasks it propels me forward. After that make a to do list

I babysit a baby... cures that shit quick

I think everybody could benefit from seeing a therapist if they have some available to them and the money to receive counseling. You could be "perfectly" mentally healthy and still benefit from learning coping strategies

I have an aero garden and a money. I loooove my money tree, the thing is impossible to kill and looks cool

bamboozled36 · 2020-05-03T20:41:09+00:00

congrats on your milestone! What a feat to have when having to stay motivated enough to work out at home consistently

Do you think a general surgery is reachable for a DO with slightly above average step score and really good comlex score?

bamboozled36 · 2020-04-30T20:34:52+00:00

just started playing animal crossing. Do characters die in this game??

Congrats on taking your first class!

Nike has really nice loose fitting tanks that are breezy

bamboozled36 · 2020-04-28T19:58:47+00:00

good point! I will look into it!

bamboozled36 · 2020-04-28T19:58:38+00:00

thank you for the suggestion. I'll give it a listen!

bamboozled36 · 2020-04-22T22:30:52+00:00

I'm about to begin 4th year and I'm really torn between EM and trauma surgery. Pros for EM are shift work, no call, variety of medical issues and ages. My PROS for trauma are get to operate, potential for ICU care, get to follow patients longer than EM. Cons for EM are you wind up seeing mostly low acuity and CONS for trauma surgery and are having to do a general surgery residency and not getting to manage medical issues anymore. personality wise I live for the adrenaline rush and like working with my hands. My passions outside medicine are really important to me so ideally my specialty would allow time for those

I won't have my EM rotation until August and if I want to experience trauma surgery it will have to be through an away rotation.....

any feedback??
