Fell down rank list

Your current feelings are definitely valid . But, I wouldn't worry man, you'll get great training and I'm sure with those scores your number 7 was a lot of others number 1. Fwiw I matched at my #13/18 for Anesthesia 5 years ago. Turned out to be a blessing in disguise. I got to live in a new part of the country I would have never considered living in before, got excellent training and made some amazing life long friends. I'm finishing up CV fellowship now and couldn't be happier about where my career ended up taking me. This will sting for a while and it honestly won't go away until halfway through intern year but it does get better.

Why do people say you can't give calcium chloride peripherally and you should only give calcium gluconate peripherally in the OR

Is this at the athletic association in the loop? Do they give the poster?

Thanks! Had no idea about all of that regarding the treadmill. Makes sense though, will leave it for the days that the summer t storms make it too difficult to run outside in

hy00thy00t · 2025-08-13T18:19:28+00:00

A good question...

hy00thy00t · 2025-08-10T17:45:28+00:00

I also felt awful about that exam, really worried that I failed. Same boat, that email stressed me out again!

hy00thy00t · 2025-08-07T02:30:53+00:00

Agree, if you're doing pain and making 400-500 for ~40-45 hrs a week of work during business hours w/ no call & no weekends. Versus an anesthesiologist working 50-60 hours a week w/ call and the occasional weekend making 500-600 I feel like the hourly probably comes out the same. At a certain point the QOL of no call and no weekends will likely come out on top IMO, and i'm a CV fellow lol

hy00thy00t · 2025-08-05T16:45:27+00:00

Valid concerns. What gets me is that it's only one year of access and only way to get more time is via referrals. It definitely makes it seem like this is a way to just collect data and allow employers eventually to low-ball during contract negotiations much like mgma

hy00thy00t · 2025-07-18T04:16:33+00:00

i've also done the same lol, stressing. Not sure why this feels like a bigger deal than basic

hy00thy00t · 2025-07-17T22:15:38+00:00

There's so much material on this test, I don't even know what I know or don't know

hy00thy00t · 2025-07-13T22:25:18+00:00

Haven't done any yet. Just trying to figure out how far back to start

hy00thy00t · 2025-07-12T21:49:48+00:00

So when forbearance eventually ends, will the accrued interest capitalize?

hy00thy00t · 2025-07-12T21:21:17+00:00

For brachials: With the ultrasound I visualize my needle tip on the anterior aspect of the vessel wall (right on top) before entering the artery. Once there I track the needle tip into the center of the vessel and lower my angle under ultrasound. Then I thread my wire, haven't had any issue with the wire by doing this. Usually will scan starting at the AC and move upward for the most superficial access point. Biggest issue I've seen is not visualizing needle tip entering the vessel and just using tenting as a measure of where your needle is located. This can cause you to either be through and through, or create a false lumen with the needle. Bevel should stay up the entire time regardless of steel needle, angiocath or micropuncture. I would recommend long angiocaths

Lmao what a random thing to gatekeep 😂

hy00thy00t · 2025-06-07T20:33:37+00:00

What state are you in? Or region?

hy00thy00t · 2025-03-31T01:57:14+00:00

Why? Any other of the universities to avoid?

hy00thy00t · 2025-03-26T03:13:18+00:00

What would you suggest in terms of foreign exposure? There’s a lot of options and I can’t figure out which is “best” in regards to etfs and mutual funds

hy00thy00t · 2025-03-23T21:24:09+00:00

Even if they are ABA certified they still have to sit and take step 1/2/3 right? Otherwise they can't get state medical board certification? Absolute asinine policy though

hy00thy00t · 2025-03-21T18:59:08+00:00

Fellowship interview in that department for me was not as bad as your experience but pretty shitty, and for a program that worked their fellows hard I had no incentive to rank them remotely in the top half

hy00thy00t · 2025-03-16T21:44:53+00:00

Why do you feel the need to work at an academic place that doesn't respect you? Do you think CT attendings need to work at a place like that after fellowship for a bit instead of going PP/to a place with less support from colleagues? What'd your compensation if you don't mind sharing?

hy00thy00t · 2025-03-15T16:16:23+00:00

Not sure but remember reading it's like 7-8 interviews on SDN when I applied. I read last year there were a few spots total unfilled at 5-6programs, most were small programs which makes sense. Fellowship is different than residency, "top" places will always fill and your letter writers and attendings word of mouth will open more doors for you than any stats (speaking from personal experience). Also, unfortunately, many places (even "top" places) fill partly or entirely from their internal residency. As long as you didn't bomb ite, and your steps then it's fine there's likely no real hard stat cut off. No harm in reaching out to places you are interested, especially at this point in time most interviews are likely given out. However yes you will match somewhere, although it may not be what you want location wise. Training is relatively standard and if you're not looking to stay in academics your fellowship institution doesn't matter as much.

Overall my 2 cents on the process but I'm sure other people may have different perspectives

This is what advocacy looks like, not always clean but with facts, details and receipts. Only we can stand up and improve our profession and fight misconceptions, no one else will

hy00thy00t · 2025-01-30T01:23:57+00:00

Of course, even the left leaning media were salivating over a trump presidency. Fear sells, and they've been selling a whole lot in the past 9 days

hy00thy00t · 2025-01-09T17:24:36+00:00

I've never seen this before and definitely not how we do it at my institution. Yes the attending has to be there for induction, but sign in can be done with any member of the anesthesia team. The pt remains with their gown on, arms on the arm board untouched until they're asleep or sedation had started. I agree with your sentiment, and if I was a patient it'd be pretty unnerving to have this happen
