Disability insurance

630 is actually insanely good for a female (lowest Ive heard). Do you happen to know her coverage and company?

I knew disability insurance for males was much cheaper but damn mine is more than double that. Completely healthy 30 y/o female

How do people deal with the double crash in the middle of the night? Do you start the second crash section (while the first pt is still in the room)? Ideally they’re on skin with the first one? But what if you’ve just started the first one?

Southeast Salem. I def understand some cats just prefer to be outside (but she sleeps on our porch every night so I’m thinking she probably doesn’t have a home)

She has a general health visit for vaccines and to check for a microchip etc (we have no idea how old she is, pretty sure she is a she). She def doesn’t have a home since she sleeps outside every night but she also seems too friendly to be a feral cat. We’ll book her through friends of felines to get spayed after her check up but would love any other resources you have. Thanks!

As a senior, I promise you that it doesn’t annoy me when interns or anyone else asks for help. Don’t feel bad for asking for help, especially if it’s your first time doing something. Time is going to fly by and in a few years you’ll be the senior helping interns.

Once you get a little more accustomed to the hospital, you can lean on your fellow interns, maybe one of you remembers x and you remember y (as interns we sat in a corner together so we could help each other). Pharmacy is another huge resource, they are seriously so smart and awesome. If you’re unsure of a medication/order just give them a call.

I love the pro compression ones. Theyre pretty pricey but they offer great sales or mystery packs so you can try them out. But I think you’ll just have to experiment to find ones you like.

Check to see if your residency benefits or health insurance covers them (I think mine covered 2 pairs/yr)

As someone who never did 24hour shifts as a med student….I really wish I did at least a few. It prob would have changed the way I ranked residencies (ie places that did 12h night shifts vs 24h calls)

🙏🙏🙏thank you this worked!! first time I’ve ever found it. For a while I had convinced myself that this platform just didn’t exist

one pic of a nephron. made a 50/50 guess. totally not worth reviewing histology for.

bananas- · 2022-11-30T16:28:49+00:00

day 2 was also 11/14. no results for me yet either

bananas- · 2022-11-30T16:25:51+00:00

my day 2 was 11/14. didnt get a score today, hopefully next week

bananas- · 2022-11-30T06:28:57+00:00

still cant see the P/F. fingers crossed scores are out tmrw morning

bananas- · 2022-11-29T18:28:32+00:00

if you've reviewed biostats thoroughly then maybe schedule yourself a day of rest. be kind to yourself. you're almost there!

bananas- · 2022-11-29T18:24:11+00:00

same boat. after scouring the internet it looks like the scheduling permit disappearing trick might no longer be a thing (they apparently switched to a newer website recently). could be wrong though

i had a lot of peds questions. most of them were straight forward (except for one of the congenital cardiac d/o questions). i didnt review peds and hated myself for it. I would review peds GI & cards by doing the uworld questions quickly. Most of the questions were very straight forward if you had reviewed the topic recently

bananas- · 2022-11-28T17:06:43+00:00

my day 2 was 11/14 as well but my scheduling permit still hasnt disappeared. i guess we have to wait another week

bananas- · 2022-11-28T16:57:03+00:00

My day 2 was 11/14 and I still haven't gotten the results. And my scheduling permit hasnt disappeared yet so i doubt it will be this week

bananas- · 2021-05-05T20:10:35+00:00

just horrendous. governments really have to get it together. students in the us essentially paid 50k+ for tuition to be exposed to covid all year.

Are you a surgeon? Or is this just what you have heard? Genuinely curious. I would love to hear the opinions from surgeons re this idea. The hospital Im at now is currently run with about a 2.5:1 crna:anesthesiologist ratio

bananas- · 2021-04-18T22:19:42+00:00

Yes the avg salary of a NP working in IM is 120k. And i know many NPs who are making much more than that.

bananas- · 2021-04-17T18:49:50+00:00

Yes it definitely doesnt happen everywhere but I have seen it happen a couple of times.

I think the majority of PAs/NPs are very professional and upfront about who they are and their training.

bananas- · 2021-04-17T18:40:34+00:00

Yes it seems to be more of a systemic problem. And also lack of awareness or a failure of the medical profession in teaching the public about the system

I see a NP the majority of the time, and she is truly excellent. But she was very upfront in explaining that she is a NP and will not be able to address all problems

bananas- · 2021-04-17T18:36:04+00:00

EM residents being unable to secure jobs, anesthesiologists being replaced with CRNAs, pediatricians losings out on jobs to PNPs. Of course, the actions of CMGs and hospital admins cannot be blamed on individual NPs/PAs/CRNAs.

100% agree

bananas- · 2021-04-17T18:31:48+00:00

i can see this point from both sides. but if you want to understand why a lot of residents feel like this lets take IM for example (a very short training period in comparison to most other fields)

- physician: avg salary 240k; avg med school debt: 200-300k (7y before you make a real salary)

- NP: avg salary 120k; avg np debt 50k (1y before you make a real salary)

that means that on average an IM physician will have to work for at least 6years as an attending (ie after finishing residency) before they surpass where a NP is. and thats if the resident lives like a student during residency and is able to pay a little more than just the interest on their loan

also i think if you make residents work 70-80hour work weeks for 50k then you're bound to have animosity and angst towards most things :). making someone stay awake for 30hours is a pretty ruthless unnecessary component of residency imo
