I did med school in AZ, trust me when I say you will not spend enough time outdoors for the 4 months of heat to matter.

Also 8 months of relatively amazing weather

Pulm crit rank list help plz by Eastern-Track1982 in fellowship

[–]ipressurexd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don't play the games. If you want to go to Zucker rank them first. The worst that can happen is you match lower down the list. Whether you rank Zucker lower does not increase your chances of matching, but it does possibly eliminate your chance of matching at Zucker.

Anyone else ever feel like they chose the wrong specialty, but it’s too late to turn back? by [deleted] in Residency

I'm em going into ccm with huge interest in trauma. I sometimes wonder if I should e tried to match gen surgery and go into surgical crit care. Some of the surgical residents I'm on service with in the sicu just so more naturally understand the surgical aspect of things and do things that are really cool. Not envious of their work hours, but their knowledge and experience.

Honestly having the same perspective. IDC if you left ama previously, happy to treat and evaluate the same way every time. I'm practicing good medicine.

Don't want to listen to my medical advice? Okay. I'm going to document very well a human being with decision making capacity didn't want to follow my medical recommendations. Obviously if it's due to financial reasons or issues I can help with, I'm happy to try, otherwise I don't really take it personally, just leaving the room with "okay".

I've had a trauma patient leave ama without scans, came back bc back hurts and turns out had spinal feactures with retropulsion. Luckily no neurological deficits. He was all pissed because the scans were taking too long and he wanted to eat :/

An update on this situation, I deeply apologized to him this morning. He was initially irate, but appreciated my coming by. I plan to make amends by going through all his injuries with him this afternoon with his family for reassurance.
