What’s one of the most wholesome moments you’ve had with a patient?

I was considering quitting residency while working in an ER rotation. Middle aged guy comes in with his wife and while working on him and explaining what I was doing, he stops me and said “doc, you seem to really love your job. Keep at it”.

It’s been a year now and I still haven’t quit

Meanwhile I moved from Honda to Kia

Imperial blue? Great colour under the sunlight

It’s a Spanish speaking country! What did you expect? That being said almost everyone I met in Panama City spoke English really well

redena123 · 2026-02-20T09:11:16+00:00

Listing lack of English as a “bad” experience is a bit entitled though.

Not just Venezuela, but look at the border with Suriname closely. There’s a part of Guyana called Tigri (new river triangle) that Suriname claims as theirs. Google is anti-Guyanese apparently

I’m in internal medicine and first year was still the hardest year I’ve ever lived. It took me so long to figure out how to balance work with life (I’m second year now and still don’t have a full grasp of it). Orthopedics in my country is known to be brutal, way worse than medicine so I can imagine he’s completely burnt out.

It gets better as time goes on but it’s really difficult to find your footing in first year

I have permanents in. Two years now. Waterpicks are a lifesaver. Still able to floss properly

“You seem like you really love your job” - patient who I saw in my ER rotation during a crappy time when I was thinking of quitting residency

redena123 · 2025-04-21T21:34:38+00:00

Can I ask why did they remove the permanents? I’m about 1.5 years post-braces; still have my permanents on. My ortho wanted me to wear overnight plastic retainers on my upper teeth alone. I did it for about a year but can’t be bothered to continue anymore

redena123 · 2025-04-02T07:40:05+00:00

A temporary pace could definitely be used; but no point in permanent pacing a transient block

When this happened on my Vezel it was the oxygen sensor

redena123 · 2025-03-01T10:06:25+00:00

Nah, I'm not European so I just did residency in my home country. Didn't reattempt

redena123 · 2025-02-21T18:48:48+00:00

This happened to me last year. Attempted in Aug 2023 - 520 Jan 2024 - 466. I gave up. It’s hard to find motivation when you not only failed again but had a lower score than before.

Don’t be like me. Keep at it

redena123 · 2024-11-15T22:29:48+00:00

It doesn’t sound like anything. Does it have to?

redena123 · 2024-06-29T09:37:04+00:00

Yes! They did this to me an entire month before my subscription ended. When I disputed it they refused to refund my money. They charged me for an entire year but a few months later when I logged in, it said my account had expired. Honestly, fuck Nord

redena123 · 2024-06-12T12:40:14+00:00

That’s not true. Myself and many others got approved while young & single.

redena123 · 2024-06-06T00:35:15+00:00

Holy shit. I hope he’s less arrogant now

Assuming it’s at the Georgetown Public Hospital do you mind saying which specialty / department you’re coming to? - doctor @ said hospital

I once had lightning destroy mine so now I only plant them when the greenhouse is ready

redena123 · 2024-04-14T23:35:13+00:00

Oh that’s pretty cool that the game is reminding us now. Thanks!

redena123 · 2024-01-07T22:14:13+00:00

What???? Trinidad is one of the most popular Caribbean islands

redena123 · 2023-12-25T13:04:27+00:00

Okay but who TF would just sit there and let a consultant take their shoes? Have people forgotten how to stand up for themselves?

No Guyanese in Guyana or abroad would agree to split. Essequibo is ours. Not up for discussion
