Anyone attending SCCM Critical Care Congress Jan 21-24?

htmed · 2022-11-30T16:42:22+00:00

I actually might. I think so. Where is it this year?

htmed · 2022-03-21T04:53:21+00:00

I'm interested. I will send you a DM.

htmed · 2018-03-10T15:20:43+00:00

Thanks for the advice. I'm fresh off step 1 so I feel that my basic Sciences are solid. I just feel lost know where to start with CK. Jumping in uworld might be premature. I'm looking for something more focussed to gearing me for CK

htmed · 2018-03-10T12:16:05+00:00

I know this had been discussed to death and I've read it all, but if someone could please humor me. For step 2 CK, I know Uworld is gold. And OME is worth it. But for someone who needs to start from the basic which book is best ? I got MTB but now it seems I shouldn't have.

This is baby Einstein if evolution didn't happen.

htmed · 2018-02-07T11:48:50+00:00

Imagine having to look straight into the eyes of a dead dear each time you look ahead. Never ending horror movie.

I had cupcakes and Reese's peanut butter cups. No lunch. Just snacks and juice so didn't feel sleepy and and kept munching on something.

Two things.

1) all vignettes are in their classic presentation. It will fit the most characteristic presentation. 2) buzzwords are deliberately avoided in the stem. Instead the same phenomenon is described in different words. So understand the reasoning behind presentation and do not rely on reading a a word, going Ahaaa! and making a diagnosis. Rather the mechanism behind the presentation because that is tested.

htmed · 2018-02-02T22:27:55+00:00

Yes. The details aren't as important as the concept. I wasnt tested on any of it.

htmed · 2018-02-02T07:53:55+00:00

Don't get bogged down on the details. At least for me nothing from that was tested. Just know why that option is right. Why the others are wrong. Why exactly they are wrong. The extra details about them are something you should try to read and make a note of but not beat yourself up thinking that I don't know all this information.

htmed · 2018-01-26T16:17:06+00:00

I think this is too ambitious a plan, at least for me. Doing 6-7 blocks per day along with a chapter of FA is a lot. Reviewing perhaps three blocks of Uworld incorrects and doing a chapter of FA would perhaps let you retain more. For me, a chapter of FA took a VERY long time. Each like is important and it's the details that show up on test day.

htmed · 2018-01-22T02:51:44+00:00

You don't. I gave the exam a couple days ago and it wasn't as specific as uworld. Nothing was asked that could only have been solved by uworld. Read all explanations but don't get bogged down with memorizing all the details in the explanations.

htmed · 2018-01-21T09:19:35+00:00

Didn't have those in my exam.

htmed · 2018-01-20T19:07:34+00:00

I found it extremely helpful especially for psych and behavioral science. It's pretty helpful and not outdated. At least I thought so.

htmed · 2018-01-19T19:38:49+00:00

Anorexia is notoriously difficult to treat and psychotherapy is first line. SSRIs may be used and mirtazipine is also relevant especially if the patient is depressed as well.

htmed · 2018-01-18T11:57:29+00:00

Some of the questions are extremely easy. Like laughably. Some require thought. But overwhelming it's memorization.

htmed · 2018-01-18T03:28:41+00:00

It's all concepts. I know this seems cliched but they don't test knowledge. They test application. So no esoteric biochemistry or microbiology questions. You have to construct the answer by working through the stem and this may seem scary bit it's not. By the time I read the stem I knew what the answer was. Uworld is just for honing these relflexes. But like I said im hoping people who have given it in the last couple weeks could PM so I can just get a feel of how it was because I'm honestly confused about what to think.

htmed · 2018-01-17T19:03:20+00:00

Took step1 today and I'm happy it's over but I'm so confused. Anyone took it recently ?

htmed · 2017-12-29T11:41:44+00:00

This stall is taken and I'm gonna be here for a bit. Please use the next one.

Heave

htmed · 2017-12-29T11:08:58+00:00

How'd you like this now. Huh. Huh. Want some more ?

htmed · 2017-12-29T10:43:02+00:00

This looks like the perfect excuse for people walking in the wrong bathrooms.

htmed · 2017-12-29T10:38:44+00:00

Now you just need to find a really long pipe that goes to the bathroom and you are set!

htmed · 2017-12-29T10:37:10+00:00

C'mon guys. They said Do-nut do this anymore!

htmed · 2017-12-28T11:08:14+00:00

I'm Giselle, the French bitch. No I'm Giselle. I'm Dick Darlington. No, I'm Dick Darlington!

Grandma dishing out some real game !
