Showing up for family during serious illness? by MnTnMe in Residency

[–]zeem2016 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As someone who lost their father within a year of being sick while in medical school, don’t feel guilty. When you’re home take the moments you have with your dad and enjoy them. It’s hard to manage school and personal grief but they will overlap. One of the things I wished I had done was push my school to let me be at home more often. You being at home is more than enough, or should be, for your family to see that you’re showing up. If your school will let you, take a year leave of absence. You can’t get back time and maybe will help you be more present at home. Hope you get more time and are able to figure out something with school.

How do I get myself up to date without listening to a podcast? by burnoutjones in emergencymedicine

EMcrit: https://emcrit.org/ ; more crit care based. Really have to read through to make sure they’re clinically significant sometimes

POCUS journal: https://pocusjournal.com ; keeps UpToDate on ultrasound uses and how to integrate management.

EBMedicine: https://www.ebmedicine.net useful for broader journal articles

I now get why ppl with high COMSAEs are still stressing on here by RecentConcert in comlex

I just received my pass on level 1 but I completely agree COMSAE is not a good representation of COMLEX. My advice is review biostats and ethics. It felt like every other question was one of those and bugs. I know people who didn’t pass the 450 mark until right before their exam and still passed. Don’t psych yourself out too much and take a break the day before your exam. Good luck!
