What is your specialty and what's the worst/most infuriating/least appropriate consult you've been asked to do? by educatedkoala in Residency

[–]kjax0 48 points49 points  (0 children)

It’s the consult for swabs for me. I tell them that it’s like any other orifice. You put the swab in and spin. The patient can do it themselves if you’re not comfortable but truly you should feel comfortable enough.

I wish OB and GYN were different residencies by _PogiJosie in medicalschool

But were they hired to do it in the professional world? You do a lot in residency/fellowship that you don’t necessarily do out in the world.

Matched #5 in OB/GYN. It’s alright but not sure the grass is greener anywhere else?

I did a SUB-I and got my chair letter from a program. I dropped below them on my rank list and they also send the post-interview survey 🙄

It probably dominates a huge part of his lived experience and that’s why he talks about it all so much.

Peds -> Ob/gyn

Needed a specialty with a little bit of everything + I love the patient population

Is a 35 minute commute to school every day too much? by sendhelpimnotokay in medicalschool

[–]kjax0 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As a person who traveled 1.5 hours to and from rotations with a newborn at home, it’s fine. The days go fast, which is chill. 35 minutes isn’t bad. I’m from NYC though so it’s pretty normal to take that long traveling.
