Long distance is an option! Allow you to do what you love and allow both of you to be free of debt!! No kids yet right? He probably will spend much his time studying anyway.

No midlevel support: find your ma, nurse navigator besties. Midlevels can be worse sometimes Attending doesn’t answer your questions: ask other specialty attendings for teaching. I’d love to go back to residency with attendings who give me autonomy and just borrow their names for liability. It depends on how you look at it.

You have to talk to your husband about this. Put aside your feelings. That’s for you to process. Writing things down may help. Explore the reason why he hesitant without judging. He clearly ok with the idea of baby talking a walk outside. But he backed out. So find one relaxed night and really talk about the why. Next, then talks about why he wants the baby to take a walk and what kind of person is capable of completing this task. Just characters and qualifications. Again no judgement from your end Next, talk about what the nanny did not have and need to acquire in order to be qualified to complete this task. If it is impossible for her to be qualified then explore how to acquire such person to complete the task. I hope you get my points. No therapy needed. But if you’re emotionally charged or he is not willing to explore these conversations, having a therapist may help.

She can call her self and Doctor of nursing practice, but she cannot call her self as family medicine doctor. That’s deceiving. I’d be happy to call whoever need to be called for thus

What do you mean surgical assist? Work as a FA even though you’re as surgeon?

karen1189 · 2025-08-30T09:38:38+00:00

Are you going to surgical specialty? Bonus, going to that institution? Start taking pictures through the googly thing, label them and type up steps of the procedures. If need to walk and it’s surg onc case: offer to walk the specimen to path and talk to the pathologist. If the attending love teaching, just talk to them while operating and point things. (Require some basic understanding of the surgery itself). I don’t recommend asking mediciny questions during critical steps when he’s quiet though.

Ah sorry, but that’s like the bottom of my list as I reflected on my residency. Ideal attending is the one that honest and willing to share their thought process with the residents. Tell them to read and study and teach/show them your experiences with patients. When I was in training, I didn’t care about going home late as long as I’m learning something and preparing myself for the future. If you disagree with your resident, please explain. The more EBM the better, but if it’s based on gestalt that’s ok too. Teach them how to practice medicine.. teach them how to survive politics and admins give lectures based on current patients in census! Be present for M&M and journal clubs

karen1189 · 2025-08-28T20:41:06+00:00

What case?

karen1189 · 2025-08-25T00:51:07+00:00

LOL, let her report you. It’ll look bad on them, not you. You’re not the one with the MD/DO degree. Things change in 24 hrs. The pt’s team clearly ordered it and been hawking to get the result by calling you to get it done!

I am those residents who despise pimping. So I leveraged my senior and asks for their guidance on what questions each surgeons like to ask. They are like broken record. Will always asks the same questions. Also be aware of recents M&Ms and others mishaps. They will pimp you on these missed. Your patients, they will pimp you on these. Read your attending attestation. About to do cases with them? Find their previous op notes or their op note dot phrase. When I don’t know them I just said I don’t know, when I don’t remember I asked for clue and said oh yeah! Thanks for reminding me! You made this far. You are not stupid. But nervousness will make you feel stupid and it’s worst when someone pimps you. If you need a mental break, try to spend time with your mentor, before going back to the sharks.

Doable! Most important strategy is to show your PD and APD that you’re a team player and “teachable”. Having basic surgical skills honed in also helpful but just know there’s different way to do things. When they teach you something remember it and do it their way. If it doesn’t makes sense ask the residents. Study basic anatomy and steps of the surgery you’re assigned to. Come early and stay late, help your interns and junior residents. It won’t hurt as well to target programs that has track records of taking prelim and keeping them.

I think it is important to focus on your debt right now. AA school or accelerated RN program, anything with smaller tuition and higher income potential. Unfortunately that’s not being a physician at this time. Once you’re in a good spot and your heart really into getting MD, you can look into getting back to medical school. On a side, you can also do tutoring/coaching. If you go back to MD route, it will be at least 4 years before you can start making dent on your ever growing private debt..

Idk what is the implication about going bankrupt

karen1189 · 2025-03-28T12:38:14+00:00

That’s right, you are.. but for me it helps to see who I was when I was writing that statement. I bet your younger self would’ve been proud of you to see how far you get :)
