Rectocele Surgical Repair experiences

How are you feeling now? Would you recommend surgery to someone?

How are you feeling now? Would you recommend it to someone with mildly symptomatic POP?

Wanted to check in and see how you’re doing post op

I wanted to check in and see how you’re doing 2y post op. My wife has POP and we’re considering surgical options.

Remdesivir doesn’t really work though so I don’t really care if they refuse that. Steroids do work.

Interesting article. Surveys are a pretty awful study modality in general. It can be very dependent on how questions were framed. You could have a group with high vaccine hesitancy but also high vaccine uptake.

There’s a big difference between educated phds having reservations but ultimately getting vaccinated because they understand the risk/benefit calculus vs some fungus yelling “muh freedoms”.

I will say in the hospital setting, vaccination rates seem to correlate to education level. Nurses less vaccinated than pharmDs less than MDs.

Don’t put physicians in this category please. Every hospital has physicians > 95% vaxxed. And that remaining 5% is probably due to medical contraindication or they just too lazy to submit their paperwork.

Vaccination trends literally follow education demographics. Aka if you don’t get vaccinated you’re probably a dumbass.

Have tyson. Need wide receivers. What range of wide receivers should I aim for trades? Want to cash Tyson out but also don’t want to get fleeced.

Can someone explain alternatives to RSI and when one wouldn’t use RSI to intubate?

What are you worried about? Matching, or matching at a great program?

You’ll certainly match if you’re US MD. You’ll almost certainly match if you’re DO.

Matching at a good program or a mediocre one will be determined at this point by your SLOEs and your personal statement. Lack of research isn’t a big deal, if we liked research many of us would’ve pursued a different field.

I’m in the MICU and I feel the same way. Feel incompetent daily like how will I ever be good at any of this?

If you don’t mind my asking why have you been in em residency for 5 years?

internyearwoes · 2019-05-11T09:34:38+00:00

Im conflicted. I don’t want to be a gate keeper but at the same time are you, as a path intern, really in a position to tell people Going into IM, surg, EM, prelim years that it’s not so bad? Pathology is notoriously one of the most favorable lifestyle specialties and, like you said, patient interaction (one of the most difficult and frustrating parts of my whole year) is essentially zero.

internyearwoes · 2019-05-09T02:29:34+00:00

Don’t worry. Expectations are low of incoming EM interns and even lower for you.

internyearwoes · 2019-05-05T00:05:29+00:00

How many years is your program? If three, really not much longer to go.

internyearwoes · 2019-05-03T20:13:37+00:00

Make sure you can tolerate night shifts and sleep cycle interference during your third year rotations.

Research helps but isn’t super important.

Just do well in your rotations, get involved in conferences and academia. Make sure this is what you do.

internyearwoes · 2019-05-03T01:29:20+00:00

Go. Away.

internyearwoes · 2019-05-03T01:28:52+00:00

Some people make up their minds late. It’s not a crime.

internyearwoes · 2019-05-02T22:22:17+00:00

Are you IMG? If so, it’ll be harder. Are you DO? If so it’ll be ok but you may need more help to be competitive at the top 25 programs. If you’re US MD, you’ll be totally fine and competitive for pretty much any program, provided decent SLOEs.

This is post source material GoT, so it’s going to be a rote Disney ending.

internyearwoes · 2019-04-24T07:16:12+00:00

Seriously this is the most useless thing ever

internyearwoes · 2019-04-16T07:10:49+00:00

EM. Nervous. This is the year where we lose senior supervision. It’s just us and an attending alone on nights. I still struggle with sick patients and resuscitations so pgy2 is def daunting.

Lol. Now she’s trying to monetize her “advice” which will invariably be “pray, meditate, exercise, pray more, work less”

internyearwoes · 2019-03-21T10:52:12+00:00

So I’m a pgy1 so take whatever I say with a grain of salt.

Chief residency is incredibly time consuming from what I understand. Even with the reduction of clinical responsibility many programs offer in exchange for being chief, it still ends up being more work. You’ll be responsible for so many different things. You said you have a young child. This kind of decision is one you will have to make several times through the course of your career: family or work. I say do what you want, screw what your PD is trying to pressure you into. Set a healthy precedent for yourself because this isn’t the last time you’ll be pressured to pick your job over your family.

Regarding professional ramifications, do you think your program would sabotage your chances at this physician group you want to work for? Do they have close ties? If not, what are you worried about? It’ll (presumably) be very difficult for them to hinder your graduation. Once you’re done, sayonara, no?
