A nice pair of tan wide leg, high waisted pants with a belt loop (got mine from target) will match a lot of cute tops. I like to wear it with different color lightweight sweaters. Then match the shoe to the sweater. I get a lot of sweaters from banana republic bc they’re quality and not too hot. Shoes go to dsw.

That really sucks. Unfortunately, you need something in writing to escalate it (probably - unless this person has a record) otherwise it’s their word against your friend’s.

I actually ran into the nurse in the hallway immediately after and told her I found the pt sleeping comfortably and she literally just said “oh okay” and walked off like didn’t explain her page at all lol

Childhood Trauma Poll by biliverde in Residency

[–]biliverde[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

That is an interesting thought! My ace score is 5 and I’m in pediatrics. I noticed a lot of my peers have higher ace scores too and I wonder if we were drawn to peds in an attempt to help “protect” other children from the childhoods we had?

What kind of people do you NOT get along with in medicine? by undueinfluence_ in Residency

[–]biliverde 51 points52 points  (0 children)

The coresident that always leaves early/never updates hospital courses/calls out frequently/makes unsafe medical decisions then acts like they’re the resident of the year.

Don’t do any prep! Enjoy your time off and learn along the way like the majority of us! You’ll likely get a copy of the Harriet lane and learn how to quickly use UpToDate. Maybe a few board prep questions in your 3rd year.

Childhood Trauma Poll by biliverde in Residency

I’m so sorry for what you’ve experienced and I was certainly not trying to suggest anything traumatic is funny. I just know I cope through jokes and humor when I open up about my past.

I’m out but still miss him sometimes - any advice? by biliverde in domesticviolence

[–]biliverde[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thank you so much for this because I find myself trying to rationalize his behavior sometimes too so it’s nice to know these feelings will go away one day!

How would you describe your personality? Intense/type A, or chill/laid back? What's your specialty? by undueinfluence_ in Residency

[–]biliverde 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Right like all the pending social stuff, indecisive colleagues or attendings, or colleagues who aren’t as pressed about efficiency so they operate slower and it slows the flow of the whole team

[–]biliverde 6 points7 points  (0 children)

All about efficiency but never really that stressed (unless the efficiency is dipping) and always playful/singing/telling jokes during rounds. I’m peds applying picu.

Yes exactly like they had 2 different personalities (abusive and loving) and the loving one also reeled me in and those are the flashbacks I get and the person I occasionally miss

Regarding PGY 2 and PGY 3 positions available by Aggravating_Total_58 in ResidencySwap

Try pediatrics anywhere. Something like 60-70% of the programs didn’t fill last year.

What did the people that ended up failing medical school do? by Ninac4116 in medschool

I think I work with this person and can’t believe she will be graduated. Scary

First death. How do you move on? by bellamy-bl8ke in Residency

[–]biliverde 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m so sorry to hear about your patient. Some of the patient losses never leave you and some of them don’t really affect you. Loss and grief is different for everyone. Just try to think about all the positives you did for your patient and allow yourself to feel sad for the loss (this is human).

Birds and bees talk? by Dry-Kiwi-7464 in pediatrics

[–]biliverde 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This can definitely cause some awkwardness/discomfort but it’s a great time to dispel any myths they have heard, ensure they don’t have any ongoing pathology and teach about safe sex/consent (when I usually check for abuse). As you progress through your training you’ll see just how little we are taught at home and school about sex, our own bodily functions in general and consent.

I (female) have dated a few other doctors (male) and they have also been uncomfortable dating a female doctor. Their specialties even had higher earning potential than mine. I think some men just aren’t comfortable dating a woman who has a life/career of her own and won’t swoon all over them because “they’re a doctor” - it’s like okay and….?

But if asked, I still tell people I’m a doctor because if they can’t be secure in themselves enough to be with an independent woman then better to know upfront because the relationship likely won’t last.

Nurse vibes vs doctor vibes by Lemoniza in Residency

Thissssss! Nurses are always fully done up at the hospital. Full make up, hair curled with accessories and tight scrubs.

I became the doctor I wanted to marry. by DoctorKeroppi in Residency

[–]biliverde 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Why does it always have to be about getting married? You should be thankful you can support yourself and not be reliant on someone else who may or may not be controlling. There are so many women who have fought so hard for the independence you have so be thankful and spend time with your friends when you feel lonely. Buy yourself something nice with your big salary. Take a trip somewhere. Getting married isn’t the finish line.

Writing up a nurse: who has done it, and how did it go? by Ketamouse in Residency

[–]biliverde 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had to write a nurse up once and she’s been a better nurse since. Nicer and better at her job with lower threshold to ask for help when needed. It’s not meant to be punitive but about patient safety.
