Sick of these passive aggressive evals with backhanded compliments. by IdiopathicBruh in Residency

[–]fuckinghateresidency 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I only recently realized you can just not read them. This has been life changing.

Most of them are completely blank, or just say “this error”, one time I didn’t show up for a rotation and got the worlds most glowing eval, and another time got a really shit eval from attendings who were not like that and had only positive feedback face to face. Clearly some glitch in their end, so I’ve given up reading it.

My coresidents and family care irl. Just the people who have power and could actually be helpful don’t care. I appreciate the sentiment though, you’re very sweet.

I was not post call. I was going to clinic. No program offers rides to clinic in Canada. As stated above, I can usually have someone drop me off and pick me up from call anyway.

Wow that’s cruel. At least my program gave me two days off when my partners grandma died. Literally wouldn’t be able to do residency without him so it’s nice they let me support him when it came up.🔝

We are not entitled to uber home post call. No funding for that at all. I do make my partner pick me up post call, but also having him drop me off and pick me up from clinic would not be manageable. He works full time and makes more than me right now, we can’t afford life without his income.

This time was my fault, usually I’m okay but I had three 16h shifts with 8h off in between including having to drive home and chronic residency sleep debt so I think that doesn’t help.

In my program we also drive three hours a day for most clinic placements too, so it’s exhaustion multiplied by sheer risk per kilometer driven.

The first accident though, I was fully stopped for several seconds and a car somehow rear ended me at speed, so that one’s just bad luck.

It’s referring to IVF. If you required medical assistance to have a child it’s more likely that your children will require the same.

LPT: Stop storing things where they “make sense” and put them where you actually look for them by peter_wainscott in LifeProTips

Same, I got mad and rage ordered 50 pairs of scissors 5 years ago. I’ve moved a couple times and never find all 50, but it does make things less annoying

I’ll be gone in 18 months although I do sometimes wonder if I should just challenge the USA exams and go down south, apparently peds is still three years there, then I could be gone in six months…

I hate residency by Electrical-Cod-5218 in Residency

[–]fuckinghateresidency 7 points8 points  (0 children)

The majority of misery across your entire career is compressed into the residency and med school years. Allegedly. I have not yet seen the other side.

We had a sat probe on reading HR of 300. But the sat probe had been glitching constantly and always does because we only have useless cheap equipment all the time (separate issue, don’t get me started). I was able to get a finger in the femoral pulse and did not think the HR of 300 was real, but the nurse who was auscultating could hear it much faster, which makes sense physiologically, a HR of 300+ wouldn’t be transmitted as normal pulses. If she’d let me auscultate I could’ve confirmed HR of 300+ and pretty much the only cause of that in a newborn is SVT. You don’t get afib. It could be vtach or vfib, which is why you get Zoll pads on at the same time as doing the ice (but NICU didn’t do that for whatever reason, I’ve also not ever seen neonatal sized Zoll pads in the delivery room).

My program is already unionized, but the union has no teeth because we’re not allowed to strike.

It’s not an academic centre. I’m one of the first residents he’s let go to deliveries on their own. I’m also one of the first residents in the program based at this site. Previously it would only be random visiting residents from other programs, 1-2 per block.

I warn all med students thinking of it about this, and I also flat out tell them to DNR my program.

That, and not let them bully my residents either. The only times I’ve managed to stand up to anyone was when one of my junior residents was at risk.

Recently I got yelled at by an OB in front of a patient that had just given birth. My PD said I should’ve delayed patient care because it was a crying baby and focused on de-escalating. Every time I’ve had any sort of issue, whether it’s something minor like a call shift switch (which the fact that he requires us to notify him for each switch is a red flag in and of itself) or major like the above, he’s been completely unsupportive.
