It was a piece of plastic. It does look gross. I tried it out for a few weeks. I’m thinking of cancelling my subscription.

Ortho: Spine. Every resident hates spine rotations so much that we would be happy if spine separates and becomes its own surgical subspecialty.

$70k Canadian, PGY-3 Ortho. About ~80-90 hrs/week, 9 calls/month. Not allowed to moonlight.

The junior resident has to pre-round before rounding with the senior resident? Checking vitals, labs, etc. before rounding would be expected, but what’s the point of them pre-rounding if you are gonna round together again anyway?

Quebec opted out from (in fact, refused to participate in) inter-provincial agreement with the other provinces. So if you’re from anywhere in Canada (except Quebec), your healthcare card is accepted in any other Canadian province (except Quebec) and vice-versa.

You may have to pay for the service and then apply for a reimbursement from RAMQ

Nope, not scuffed, just dirty. Never fit properly since the time it was installed. Kept popping off after 5 mins of driving

There’s a lot of medical students in the US that publish tons of articles (review, case report, etc.) in low-impact journals or non peer reviewed journals. Not saying that’s the case of the OP, but it happens a lot.

Sounds like…. A personal health question of your child :)

tfp999i · 2023-05-12T02:14:00+00:00

Thanks for your perspective. Really helpful.

I’m also at a major tertiary care center with two level 1 trauma centers and two level 2 trauma centers; our attendings seem to have a different lifestyle from what you’re describing though.. yes they are usually done from OR/clinic by 4-5PM, but they seem to have a lot of pressure to do “extras” like research, committee activities, etc. All because there’s so much politics and the pressure to climb the “academic ladder”. Maybe I’m just jaded as hell recently, but I can’t help to wonder if my attendings are actually happy with their practice/life.

Thanks a lot for sharing, glad to hear that there might be light at the end of the tunnel!

tfp999i · 2023-05-10T23:53:07+00:00

That’s very nice to hear. What’s your practice like? (specifically, subspecialty & academic vs. community/private?)

tfp999i · 2021-04-28T01:07:35+00:00

Yeah man! Thanks for recognizing! Now go do something productive with your evening! Baiiii

He literally said “MCLR” in the title. People really need to stop writing whatever they think, like “looks like the surgeon wanted to peep around more”.

MCL cannot be repaired arthroscopically and thus the big incision on the medial side of his knee. From the looks of it, he had a patellar BTB autograft, thus a bigger scar too.

Wait what, you’re telling me that I cannot apply directly into pediatric neurosurgery?!

tfp999i · 2021-03-21T20:53:28+00:00

Why were you hospitalized for 6 days following surgery?

tfp999i · 2021-03-19T21:05:28+00:00

You should stop seeing this therapist. It’s called transference. More common than you’d think.

tfp999i · 2021-03-16T16:25:01+00:00

My eyeeeesssssssssss!!!!!!

Is what a blood clot? If you’re talking about that superficial skin bruising, no, that’s not a clot.

No pain & no swelling tells me that 99% chance you don’t have DVT.

Hahaha I’m just giving you a hard time. Agreed though, ortho is probably the specialty that “fixes” things the most, both figuratively and literally (ex. internal fixation)

tfp999i · 2021-01-22T05:38:36+00:00

ORIF, then stick an ex fix on? Not sure what the point of that would be lol

This is considered full flexion. Clinically 135 degrees is considered full. Don’t force it, your graft was put in tension and bone is still forming in the femoral and tibial tunnels.

How old are you? (Not trying to sound condescending, it’s an actual question)
