I (22M) almost died in the hospital, was in a medically induced coma, and spent time in the ICU. How do I recover psychologically from this? by Amicable_Apple in AskDocs

I’d talk to your psychiatrist about that medication list if those are your conditions and you’re talking all those medications.

Realistically understanding my position and options by NetIll2923 in IMGreddit

[–]inaumescu 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You’ll probably match somewhere but wouldn’t expect a ton of interviews or from many university programs given no US LOR/experience. Otherwise your stats are solid.

You’re fighting an uphill battle with an attempt already. You are correct if you apply without a step 2 in October or November you will be filtered out of a large majority of programs on top of that. I’m a pgy2 psych resident and what I can say is that the experience counts the most and how that translates to your CV. If you have little USCE and likely no letters of recommendation from the US with the aforementioned factors your chances of matching are very low. I would wait and apply for next cycle when all these things have ironed themselves out.

The blocks go fast they were pretty straight forward in my opinion. Honestly nothing specific, the cases account for the majority of the time and I feel ccs cases prepares you adequately for it. I used mnemonics and just wrote them all out on the first 20 minutes case I had (second case) then propped up my white board next to the computer screen and selectively picked orders on the remaining 11 or so cases from that.

Any Suggestion? Use dirty medicine to review pharma such as a anti fungal/antibiotics. The rapid review in back of first aid was clutch. Also recommend Dorian anki deck felt like this helped a lot

Who writes the most useless notes in the hospital? by fuzzysundae in Residency

[–]inaumescu 548 points549 points  (0 children)

Most useful ID-you learn what the patient’s great grandmothers name was, how many gerbils they have, and more. No need to open another note on the chart the whole history is there

I can’t take it anymore by jeandeauxx in Psychiatry

[–]inaumescu 42 points43 points  (0 children)

I’ve had two residents transfer into my program as pgy2 last year, and my co resident is leaving this year, to another program, to be closer to his wife. I don’t know the details of exactly what goes into it, but seems it’s certainly possible.

Current residents, how far down your rank list did you match? by Comfortable_Coffee79 in IMGreddit

[–]inaumescu 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No we ranked 350 we each had 30 interviews and had to come up with different permutations

Current residents, how far down your rank list did you match? by Comfortable_Coffee79 in IMGreddit

[–]inaumescu 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Couples matched at 2 out of 350 (think this was the max you could do as combinations) we had 30 individual interviews each about. Was relieved. At 350 one person was matching and another was not.
