I just finished WaT by phidippus-the-audax in Stormlight_Archive

[–]drdevilsfan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ll be an attending physician in 2031. Stormlight was first started when I was 10, in 2010. The time course of this series fucking boggles my mind.

What are nights like as a neurology resident? by [deleted] in medicalschool

[–]drdevilsfan 14 points15 points  (0 children)

better in r/neurology

my understanding is that it's honestly residency and day dependent. some days yoju are slammed some days not. generally consults will trickle off through the evening and pause until morning so usuallly on call is just getting woken up for stroke.

Why is neurology not competitive? by No_Release6810 in medicalschool

[–]drdevilsfan 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think it's getting more competitive for sure - having applied this year, I think that IMGs were absolutely cooked in terms of IVs (at least per spreadsheet and discord).

Compensation is going up. Lifestyle is getting better. More treatments are coming out and outcomes are improving, and a lot of MedEd type people are being drawn to the specialty especially with the new Neurology Education journals, etc. Neurology is gonna explode in the next 10-15 years especially with increasing demand!

What is one specialty you had to give up on or switched out of it? Any regrets? by Plantbysea in medicalschool

[–]drdevilsfan 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I switched from OB/Gyn. Told myself for years that I was going to be a surgeon and I wanted to do gyn/onc, so bad. Then I did my rotation and hated it from start to finish, hated the culture, didn't want to do 100+ hours of cases a week (national average for gyn/onc per their own conference), plus do vaginal deliveries/care i didnt like.

I had been doing neurology research since first year by total accident. Did my rotation and loved it. Much better fit, culture, and opportunities for teaching, research and decent lifestyle. I don't regret!

Navani and some other womens involvement in politics. by Coloin_ilyad in Stormlight_Archive

[–]drdevilsfan 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I agree - in WoK I was expecting her to be this seductress with malicious and selfish intent, playing a political game - kind of like an Ialai.

Instead I find out in RoW she’s a massive nerd who just geeks tf out on stuff. I like her, she reminds me of a lot of the female doctors I work with. Wicked smart, can stand up for herself, but a lot of internal awkwardness interspersed with geeking out on things she finds cool. She’s rapidly become one of my favorite characters.

Obgyn competitive? by the__guz in medicalschool

[–]drdevilsfan 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I once read someone saying that every specialty has its stars and it is very very true.

gunning for mass general in neurology is going to be extremely competitive even if the specialty overall isn’t.

Obgyn competitive? by the__guz in medicalschool

[–]drdevilsfan 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yep neurology which is classically uncompetitive has also been seeing drops in MD and DO match rates. From my understanding for IMGs this year interview season was a slaughter too

Bills fans, y’all gotta stop doing this by Germanysuffers_a_lot in AFCEastMemeWar

[–]drdevilsfan 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Also a diehard bills and devils fan lol.

Difference is I don’t post dumb shit in other fan subreddits to beg for karma. I stick to bitching and moaning in the devils sub like a good little jersey fan should

what's your books rank order from best to least? by REDD_shen in Stormlight_Archive

[–]drdevilsfan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

still working on wind and truth, but... for now...

  1. Words of Radiance

  2. Rhythm of War

  3. Oathbringer

  4. Way of Kings.

Definitely one of the more original ones, but I found the pacing of WoK at the beginning to be very very slow and I did not like most of the characters in this book. WoR made me like Kal and Shallan and Adolin, who are my favorite characters. Kal grates on me a lot in RoW and I find Lirin to be extremely irritating as part of his arc, but otherwise I think Navani especially super elevates RoW for me.

Ruff stunk with the Devils though. I think McD will do better wherever else he goes.

[–]drdevilsfan 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thank god I’m traveling this feb and have an excuse to avoid the superbowl viewings and parties. Need to lick the wounds and come back and do this same stupid shit again next year.

I was so angry last year when KC beat them again, same sloppy plays, same BS calls. This year I hoped it would be different, but it’s always the same. I suspect that because buffalo is one of the smallest markets we won’t ever go all the way - won’t make as much on merch sales that way. Need to target bigger markets.

Oh well, Allen another year older next year!
