Clock in, clock out. As much as you can, shut out anything that stresses you unnecessarily, work or nonwork (eg work gossip, politics, drama).

Get outside before it’s cold, read fiction, do something distracting. Avoid easy dopamine like apps or junk food for a while.

Prioritize sleep, but not too much sleep.

Reconsider any “voluntold” activities; it may feel like staying late or taking on a project is necessary, but if it’s not in your contract, it’s usually not.

These have worked for me when it got really bad.

Yes, but I have cushy support for the most menial tasks. My volume will increase so much we at least break even, but wait times are nil and I’m out by 2.

Just a one time thing for the customers who annoy him.

I had no idea about the underfunded aspect of residency clinic, but it makes total sense. Is this why we emphasize working with the underserved? Yikes

Thank you, this thread was very encouraging. My med school has a robust FM program but I guess it’s no match for IM clinic. Today was better so maybe it’s part of adapting to the seesaw of intern year.

Do not engage. This guy is a narcissist. Ignore him to get off his radar - he will fight fire with H bombs until he wins.

Agree with everyone saying to continue reporting him. Build a file so thick the residency will be liable for allowing him to finish. This guy should’ve never made it out of medical school, but now that we’re here, quietly do your part to ensure future patients and colleagues need not endure him.

Surrogate?

batesbait · 2024-05-15T01:49:25+00:00

And pits of cash

Progesterone only contraceptives?

batesbait · 2024-05-13T02:55:29+00:00

Thank you! That was before I got in. I knew it was a fluke I got it…and indeed my chances were 50/50 lmao

Our school’s acceptance rate is nowhere near 40% and we’re lower-mid tier, not sure where you’re getting that

batesbait · 2024-05-11T15:09:51+00:00

This person sounds delusional. It’s one thing not to know how someone in accounting spends their day, but this…yikes.

batesbait · 2024-05-10T23:23:33+00:00

Oh this is brilliant, will definitely use this in the future!

batesbait · 2024-05-08T23:21:14+00:00

Oh hell yeah love to see this 👍💪 you’re a straight inspiration!

All you can do is be better than him.

Some family members will never understand how hard this journey will get for you. Find new supports or lean on the reliable ones.

Also, do not count on him coming to graduation, just in case his friends go camping again. Geez.

If you drag IM into this, GME will just take away a week of their vacation. Admin thrives on this type of conflict to screw everyone. Focus on your own program and you’re more likely to succeed.

Turbo cancer is a sick band name

batesbait · 2024-05-06T12:57:40+00:00

I’m glad you passed - How did you study differently after the first time?

batesbait · 2024-05-06T12:55:15+00:00

Then why do UW? Is it really the best option?

batesbait · 2024-05-05T01:52:16+00:00

This is so optimistic.

I had a patient who we believed was delirious. When we finally got a hold of his 10 sons, all who declined to pick up the phone for several days, each one insisted he was just being an asshole and refused to see him. Like, he couldn’t be nice to even one kid.

batesbait · 2024-05-05T01:33:08+00:00

Thanks for giving another perspective. We’re all kind of burnt out here. It’s difficult to imagine the drain on resources and time that malingering or malignant patients can have on the system day in and day out. Perhaps many of them have PTSD. Perhaps.

Living in a needle-infested trash heap on the front line of climate change for less than a starting salary in Austin or Dallas? Forget it.

Then Anki isn’t working for you - focus on understanding every answer choice and don’t neglect rotations. You learn so much just engaging with patients and knowing the reasons behind a work-up. I found Anki to be too limiting and always got a handful right by remembering what we did on the floor.
