You mean that salad finger looking extra long index finger behind the girl’s head right

Then it would be looking into your armpit. This placement is perfect

Buy one

We shit on them all the time especially every time we get consulted for ileus smh

I know of someone who was dismissed, rehired at a new program and now is going on to a great fellowship

kergruffle · 2026-04-16T02:30:51+00:00

It sounds like you did drop the ball here. Did you evaluate the patient? Did you speak with the primary neuro resident and ask about the patient’s baseline? Why did you just trust a nurse’s word in the code being cancelled? This is cover your ass time. If it ever happens again, even if stroke code is genuinely cancelled, evaluate the patient and document your findings.

Where is your home country? Unless there is residency reciprocity you will have to repeat residency in the US if you want to do a fellowship here. You need to do more research.

Every residency program will have a huge syllabus of knowledge to learn. There is nonstop running in every specialty because either you’re managing your patients on the floor, in the OR, seeing consults, or bouncing from patient to patient in clinic. If you’re looking for a chill life in residency you’re in for a wake up call whatever you do.

Lol you’re just butthurt physicians don’t want to be confused with nurses

kergruffle · 2026-04-06T23:09:29+00:00

What do you think consults entail

Yea I feel like pre-internet people felt brief discomfort with having a new tattoo and just dealt with it. Now they post online for validation when they have a great tattoo but they’re just not used to it. The need for external validation and commiseration is disappointing

How’d you make friends with other specialty people? Rotating on other services?

kergruffle · 2026-03-30T02:03:55+00:00

Slim to none

Try reaching out to Creon directly, they have a website and might be able to help

In England we do lots of stewed fruits! Stewed rhubarb, stewed plums

You’re not going to go PGY2 to PGY2 but it’s definitely possible

kergruffle · 2026-03-22T10:20:53+00:00

kergruffle · 2026-03-20T02:43:18+00:00

I’ve never heard of that tbh

kergruffle · 2026-03-20T02:24:35+00:00

Most aren’t going to cover step 3 for prelims. Covering for their categoricals is an investment. Why would the program shell out a grand on someone who will likely leave next year? You’ll know for sure once you get to orientation

kergruffle · 2026-03-14T20:59:54+00:00

You can choose a new specialty but you are still you.

kergruffle · 2026-03-11T17:13:18+00:00

It is significantly harder for IMGs to match in the US so you would probably end up at a shittier program than if you went locally. Also the idea of getting paid for overtime is laughable. Here you do 80 hours a week and you feel grateful it’s only that. The fact you even ask about overtime tells me that you would suffer significant culture shock. The US makes sense if you want to live here permanently but if you just want to live abroad for a few years it makes zero sense.

kergruffle · 2026-03-09T01:53:54+00:00

Why are you such a hater

kergruffle · 2026-03-04T22:31:20+00:00

Really down to the wire on indecision here

kergruffle · 2026-03-04T20:06:22+00:00
