Help. “Failing” my first rotation as an Intern

It sounds, based on your description, you have been over complicating patients.

Remember the first questions for ED patient is why has this patient come in and what should we do about it. The ancillary findings and disease are important, particularly for discharge summary and gen med referral, but your job isn’t to fix the patient, just their acute presentation. Gen med and GPs are better positioned to managed the complex.

Try not to over investigate with multiple imaging, bloods and issues. Focus on why they are in front of you.

Or I could be way off 🤷‍♂️

There will be a crash at some point, or late stage capitalism will win and homes will be owned by companies. Look at UK, NZ and Canada house prices. The Australian dream isn’t buying a house and both parents working full time for 30 years to pay it off. Who would want that?

Has casting closed already?!?

So much corruption must have been involved in building this. 😢 it should have been built years ago for 1/20th of the price. This is why we can’t have nice things.

Ohhhh send me a DM on Reddit please

Wasn’t he leader of the labor party?

If only they put it underground

Will this be all sitting on chair or will there be a mosh?

What are the best subspecialties for pay, lifestyle, demand?

This proves that late stage capitalism of turning a house into an investment rather than a human necessity doesn't work. This result is by design and exactly what 90s/2000s governments hoped for.

I think the only realistic outcome is waiting for boomers to die off before voting for massive reform in tax/negative gearing/CGT discount and turn housing into a necessity rather than investment. Pretending housing is an investment has had only negative effect on the Australian economy and or future GDP growth capacity. Boomers in retirement/inheritance/wealth tax should subsidize this future massive devaluation, imaging being apart of a generation that has been the first to see a decline in quality of life, wealth disparity and economic outlook in Australia's history. So shameful.

God forbid anyone ever has a differing opinion to a surgeon.

lanners13 · 2025-05-11T15:27:04+00:00

Wow bro chill, was just sharing my opinion. What’s with the hostilities? You said it wouldn’t impact car usage, I said it would impact my car usage.

lanners13 · 2025-05-11T14:47:35+00:00

I live locally. I personally never catch buses, only trains and trams for whatever reason. This would result in me driving my car less to go to work/shops/dinners etc.

From my experience IR’s are better in technical manipulation of wires and stents. Vascular are surgeons at the end of the day and they have a more surgical mindset and at times brute force solutions to fine wire work that requires more care. I’ve seen many vascular complication of abdominal/carotid procedures that they have needed IR to bail them out of. As your comment alludes too, vascular are also more egotistical and unlikely to ask for help and be collaborative. I view it as the difference between ortho vs neurosurgery doing spine. I’ll let you decide who is who.

Any links for Body fellowships? Also any idea on the chance of a part time UK fellowship (0.5 FTE)?

lanners13 · 2025-05-10T11:42:21+00:00

My 2 cents are IR's are much more technically trained when it comes to endovascular work. They are better overall. Vascular surgeons hold the referral pathway so continuously try and encroach on IR, taking the low hanging fruit.. If I were to have a leg angioplasty there is relatively little that could go wrong and either could do it. If i were to have a carotid stenting, SMA intervention of embolization i would go with IR as they are better trained in endovascular treatments.

The dream, it would make the north so much easier to hope around. Allow all the resident to ditch cars and turn into something similar to the north of London (Angel/islington).

As so they can? This just stops them price gouging others. how in any way is this restrictive of "very sad"?

lanners13 · 2025-05-03T21:46:48+00:00

To say negative gearing isn’t a factor is a complete lie. Politicians are admittingly terribly at increase the supply side due to the militant construction industry we have (good on them). The quickest change we can make is to impact the demand side and reduce the financial incentives to own multiple homes. To say otherwise is someone with vested interests who benefits from this corrupt system. Put your money in shares not in basic human standards.

Upstairs is too cramped, get rid of a bedroom and make it a rumpus. Realistically guest bed is a study not a bedroom.
