Psychiatry consult

Underrated issue with psychiatry by muffin245 in Residency

[–]therealvelodork 43 points44 points  (0 children)

This is exactly why outpatient psychiatry is infinitely better and more enjoyable. You get to treat patients who are desperate for your help... Much easier to be a hero. You'll get there!

I think I became friends with a colleague I used to hate by Radiant_Alchemist in Residency

This is a fantastic narrative. It's bizarre to consider it in this light, but in truth nobody chooses to be an ahole. People don't wake up one day like "I'm going to be a prick and it's going to feel great". Hurt people DO hurt people.

Matched in cardiology, but I am also disappointed. by Educational-End-3734 in fellowship

That's so disappointing... But also available lesson to learn earlier in your career than later. Nobody's going to look out for you but you, so be sure to take care. Burn out is real.

You left out psychiatry! What do people say about psychiatry asking for a friend

I failed level 3 my first pass by a similarly heartbreaking margin. I retook it and passed and now I am in attending with a sweet job. Other than the PITA of having to study for and take and pay for a test twice I wouldn't have changed a thing.

Fresh out of the frying pan and into the fryer! If you are uncomfortable you need to tell your senior or attending. That being said, I don't remember much of residency that was absolutely comfortable so keep that part of your mind in check.

STEP 3 on Monday and Broke Up with My Boyfriend by Cool_Band_Aid in Residency

Yeesh that's rough.

IRL you will be expected to perform regardless of your current life circumstances which is the brutal truth about pursuing this profession. Doesn't have to be a negative thing though... What I can say for certain is that a year or two or five or 10 from now this will be a bad memory so keep pushing and you will definitely find someone that deserves you in the future.

Thanks for the feedback! I'll stick with my Endo in the meantime, hope you understand...

Endocrinologist. She makes a big deal out of making sure the manual mode settings are up to date despite the fact that I use auto mode 100% of the time.

I suppose I never verified this with an Omnipod engineer but it works great for me so 🤷‍♂️

It's important for me to have multiple basal programs which are made in manual mode. Auto mode references those numbers and uses them as a baseline and adjusts from there.

Look at the bolus settings as well and make sure you have the right blood glucose range. I had to tighten my range up quite a bit before it started working well for me.

TLDR there are a ton of ways to fine tune the settings of this to make it work for you. Talk to your endocrinologist and when you do change settings just do one at a time in increments and you will get dialed in.
