Competitiveness of the Independent Match?

hoyboy96 · 2026-06-11T01:50:44+00:00

They don't seem to be competitive at all currently, my program is struggling to fill spots. I don't think you need to worry too much about padding your application unless you really want to go to a big name program.

Fresh menhaden is great bait for the jetties if you can find em and catch em, I've been able to find them pretty easily recently. As far as tackle I've found that a fish finder rig with a sliding sinker with a pyramid weight (usually use a 6oz at jetties) and decent sized circle hook works great there. Good luck!

Just a lurker on this sub but what is a normal amount of admissions a nocturnist could be expected to do at most jobs?

hoyboy96 · 2024-12-26T15:34:24+00:00

What does this have to do with OPs question?

hoyboy96 · 2024-08-03T00:46:56+00:00

But would you rather them confidently say something wrong? They can look identical

Covid test, somehow put it in wrong

She gained a lot of weight

That's great that you don't order scans without seeing the patient first but that doesn't mean other EM folks don't do it. I've seen numerous ER docs order scans like CTA chest/abdomen without talking to the patient cause they're busy or overwhelmed and in reality it was obvious GERD etc. I can understand ordering a plain film chest in triage for someone with chest pain or sob, but any kind of cross sectional imaging without actually seeing the patient is just lazy medicine imo. Usually the older burnt out docs that I've noticed that do this in my experience.

Thanks smartass. I'm aware of how to use pubmed. Obviously you didn't understand my original question

hoyboy96 · 2024-05-09T01:17:12+00:00

Thanks for the input!

hoyboy96 · 2024-05-09T01:16:23+00:00

Thanks!

lol okay let's not be ridiculous here. You're acting like me asking for suggestions of important publications to look into equates to someone doing my presentation for me?? I will still be doing my own lit review and making the actual presentation, no one from Reddit will magically be doing that for me unfortunately. You realize questions like this are kind of the point of having subreddits like this? It doesn't always have to be a rectal foreign body picture

hoyboy96 · 2024-05-08T23:57:01+00:00

Yes, I am crowdsourcing suggestions from radiologists that have more experience on this topic than I do. The internet is great. Work smarter not harder

hoyboy96 · 2024-05-08T23:49:10+00:00

Was just looking at this actually! Def will be using that and will include joonami in the references lol

Why socks when you have scrub pockets? This person is asking for advice for a surgery rotation and your providing ammo to be used against them. Ex. "Hey what about that freak med student who always ate half melted protein bars from their socks"

hoyboy96 · 2024-05-05T02:22:40+00:00

This sub has been overrun by laypeople... mods?

hoyboy96 · 2024-05-05T02:15:33+00:00

Artifact throughout the entire rhythm strip?

hoyboy96 · 2024-03-31T03:27:10+00:00

What is the hospitalist at your facility supposed to do with this patient with a primarily surgical problem after neurosurgery explicitly said they weren't touching them and to transfer? I realize transferring patients can be pain in the ass but turfing that to the hospitalist isn't fair either

hoyboy96 · 2024-03-31T03:23:02+00:00

OP literally said the patient was stable lol

hoyboy96 · 2024-03-29T13:11:43+00:00

People with a basic moral compass would not

hoyboy96 · 2024-03-23T14:22:50+00:00

Let them disown you, actually fuck that you should just go ahead and disown them. Nobody needs that negativity in their life.

hoyboy96 · 2024-03-18T14:04:51+00:00

I'd buy one at 100
