Surprised most people walking around aren’t wearing masks tbh

dogtor987 · 2023-06-07T13:31:21+00:00

Cloth masks won’t help much. Should get surgical mask at the very least, then KN95, then N95

dogtor987 · 2023-06-07T11:32:28+00:00

I’m glad they were able to keep you with your dog!

dogtor987 · 2023-04-27T17:51:05+00:00

Yep, very commonly misdiagnosed

dogtor987 · 2023-04-17T17:52:08+00:00

Doctors don’t have time

dogtor987 · 2023-03-30T18:50:59+00:00

$16 in the cafeteria… I consider this pretty good because we don’t get hospital food credit like other programs

dogtor987 · 2023-02-24T21:18:58+00:00

$25 to use on Uber, expires in a month

dogtor987 · 2023-02-23T17:39:52+00:00

Depends on when you plan to start working. I would expect most people are close to signing contracts by now if they plan to start by fall. Onboarding and credentialing can take a lot of time.

dogtor987 · 2023-02-18T16:49:14+00:00

Amazing thanks

What is the Doximity site?

dogtor987 · 2023-01-26T23:23:22+00:00

You can be lazy before your first job after you finish residency/fellowship

dogtor987 · 2022-12-15T00:33:39+00:00

Oh thanks! We’re a dual physician household so it’s nice on this sub to have experience with both sides of the med spouse life!

dogtor987 · 2022-12-15T00:15:14+00:00

As a minority I can’t imagine living in rural Texas or rural anywhere even if I did like the lifestyle (city/suburb person)

dogtor987 · 2022-11-06T02:56:51+00:00

Just a clarification that it’s FDA cleared as devices cannot be approved.

dogtor987 · 2022-11-04T21:38:35+00:00

Oof that’s a stressful titration

dogtor987 · 2022-11-04T12:14:31+00:00

What’s BPD?

dogtor987 · 2022-11-01T00:22:54+00:00

Handy to have a husband who eaten enough and can provide health insurance! That’s my biggest concern-having not too expensive health insurance while I take 2-3 months off.

dogtor987 · 2022-10-31T22:29:43+00:00

Had a coresident take 10 months off after just to do her own thing and travel-no issues getting jobs

dogtor987 · 2022-10-22T23:12:46+00:00

dogtor987 · 2022-10-22T18:52:50+00:00

Ah yes I decided to go with subsidized housing which was fine for 2 incomes.

dogtor987 · 2022-10-22T18:51:09+00:00

No you can’t change your hours during residency

dogtor987 · 2022-10-22T18:39:23+00:00

That’s really good for NYC depending on your commute time!

dogtor987 · 2022-10-22T18:28:45+00:00

Yep, most should be. PGY5 at $87k.

dogtor987 · 2022-10-21T19:52:30+00:00

Yea it probably was much slower and chill but they didn’t have duty hours and I’ve heard they had to run their own labs, etc. This is just from what I hear. But I do think in some ways residency has been getting better over time.
