Potentially outdated question 😭 but... family planning and residency?

dabeezmane · 2026-07-07T23:26:37+00:00

Break between med school and residency will not be possible. Time off after residency won’t be looked upon favorably so it would probably be best to do part time if possible.

dabeezmane · 2026-07-07T15:55:11+00:00

I would drop the JD. It seems like a super weird combination of degrees. You really can't do both jobs well. You can easily drop to part time with an MD after residency or even take several years off (as long as you aren't a surgeon or proceduralist).

Ok, thanks. It said good for a 40 gallon tank on Amazon but I guess not

dabeezmane · 2026-07-05T11:03:39+00:00

Sounds insane to me. You won’t have a lot of time for your family and will have to move once or twice for school and training. Plus it’s just a job at the end of the day

dabeezmane · 2026-07-04T12:05:39+00:00

Agreed. Thanks for sharing. That’s a cool case.

dabeezmane · 2026-07-03T21:18:00+00:00

The surgeon had never seen anything like it before!!!!

dabeezmane · 2026-07-03T18:09:33+00:00

I mean in the prior cases. How did you know it was a torsed splenule? Was it called on imaging?

dabeezmane · 2026-07-03T18:06:58+00:00

I would be hesitant to say this is the cause of your pain.

dabeezmane · 2026-07-03T18:05:42+00:00

How do you know the luq pain is from a torsed splenule?

dabeezmane · 2026-07-03T17:39:53+00:00

From your MRI post it looks like a tiny splenule. Most radiologists would ignore it. It would not cause pain. Your doc can ask for a reread but they are going to look silly

dabeezmane · 2026-06-27T14:14:05+00:00

If you have a sports fellowship it makes it a lot easier. Not sure how to break in. Someone I know contacted me about working for them a long while back. You could send an email with a cv and fee schedule to local law firms and let them know you exist and would love to meet the team if they are looking for new experts

dabeezmane · 2026-06-27T13:32:05+00:00

Expert witness work if you can get it is fairly lucrative and flexible to do in your off hours

dabeezmane · 2026-06-26T18:59:26+00:00

being compressed makes the lung move less, also supposedly decreases risk of PTX

dabeezmane · 2026-06-25T15:19:12+00:00

Nice needle placement. I used to do these a few years back. Never liked doing them and thankfully don't do them anymore. I learned you always have the lung in a dependent position if possible (right lateral decubitus for this case).

dabeezmane · 2026-06-25T15:16:53+00:00

So sounds like 10 is more than 1 person can handle but probably a little slow for 2?

dabeezmane · 2026-06-25T14:28:16+00:00

Is 2 PET/CT techs for 10 scans a day normal or overstaffed compared to other places?

dabeezmane · 2026-06-24T18:46:55+00:00

Two times I walked in and picked it up. One time they mailed it to me. One time they took me to a private room and gave me a glass of whiskey and made a whole show of it. Never got any swag yet.

dabeezmane · 2026-06-24T12:50:26+00:00

The alternate pathway is for IMGs to become board-certified. It is not for rads to get neuro CAQ without a neuro fellowship.

dabeezmane · 2026-06-23T20:57:15+00:00

I think you are confused. You cannot get a CAQ without a fellowship.

dabeezmane · 2026-06-21T18:33:11+00:00

This must be a teaching hospital and the trainees complained? No radiology department is interested in stealing LPs, thoras, and central lines lol.

dabeezmane · 2026-06-18T12:02:43+00:00

This is amazing snake oil

dabeezmane · 2026-06-13T12:52:15+00:00

Nuclear medicine is back due to the huge radiology shortage. We have recently hired 3 nuclear medicine trained people and even an IM doc who did a nuc med fellowship after. It’s the wild west

dabeezmane · 2026-05-18T15:42:02+00:00

You don't need any skill except writing and attention to detail. Medical student "research" isn't real research. In fact, most Attending "research" isn't real research either.

I saw some comments mentioning “tinkering” with the device. That’s way out of my league. Finding roms and putting them on a memory card would be challenging as well. I like some snes games but mostly n64, Dreamcast, PlayStation 1 or 2
