What was your weirdest interview experience? Med students, residents.

>>16744594
A school asked me what I would do if I would take a leave of absence if a family situation occurred. I said yes, since medicine will always be there, and I guess they didn't like that answer, since I was later rejected.

Fr though, apparently one of the specialty-specific committees for infectious disease prevention that an attending of mine sits on hasn't had the CDC rep show up in months, they just disappeared one day

Feels good knowing every single medical school in the country is likely in a complete panic over today’s new memorandum :)

Sorry, wasteful EM. Ordering BMP alone is cheaper and then you should order LFTs separately if a liver pathology is actually suspected

Anyone else sit the acem primary today? First paper was easy, second was pretty brutal. The difficulty of the questions was all over the place, some brainlet level qs combined with the most obscure medical trivia known to man

i start my first solo optometry job in less than a month, and i'm a little spooked. shouldn't be that bad (i hope), but it will take some getting used to.

>>16745150
Don't poke the eye or pick the nose. You'll be fine. You could also throw in a joke like "hey, do you need glasses for your third eye, too?" Let me know how that joke goes.

>>16745003
Bingo
>>16745072
Sure, let me go ahead and do that when the admitting physician is going to needlessly jerk me around and make me order it later anyways when I have a full waiting room.

hello all, i just got admitted and the older students are saying that anatomy and histology are supposed to be the weed out classes. they both have a 50% fail rate. i think this may be a skill issue because they're not giving any specifics

how do i train my nursoid and pa into doing follow ups

>>16745621
I don't understand this sentiment. By the same logic, AI engineers will also eventually be replaced. In fact, the singularity that they all jizz about everyday requires them to be replaced.

But yes, death cultists should be killed.

>>16745621
I order a D-dimer and put him on 2L NC just like his AI would. If he can still talk after sitting for 50 hours on his goon chair jerking it to the idea of robot waifu or whatever the fuck it's clearly not massive enough for heparin - we HAVE to make sure it's actually PE, wouldn't want his AI girlfriend to freak out over HIT

>histology are supposed to be the weed out classes
I've never understood the meme that histology is hard. It's literally just looking at something and recognizing it.

>>16745775
As an intern, ED is the only time you do any medicine. Don't get trapped into thinking you like it just because of that. See how you feel in pgy2; check out a few other things. If you still don't hate it, can deal with being looked down on by every specialty, random hours for your entire career, and bouncing between a slightly higher acuity GP and more acute issues than half the ICU admissions, then the gates to the college are open

>>16745823
Why can't you ever be nice to the cute trannies?

How to get access to top tier stacey eggs and what's the price? I've heard they are sold at 10s of millions of dollars in the black market. what about surrogacy services?

Who here uses Zotero?

Bad week on L&D, one death is especially hanging over me this weekend

>>16746959
Death is never the worst outcome, objectively. Worldly people think otherwise, though.

>>16746973
Still doesn't stop me from feeling like I fucked up somewhere

>>16746990
Of course. Time will dull the feeling. You'll have many more deaths in the future. Try to detach from the feelings before they engrain in your behaviour. Mourn a bit, but this type of thinking *does* eventually consume you.

I hate ebm. Too many changes too fast.

Should they just make everyone who fails to become a doctor in medical school become a nurse anyway? At least then the odds are the nurses would be kind of smart instead of people who are like "I NEED ACCOMODATIONS FOR A TEST BECAUSE I HAVE TESTING ANXIETY".

so do trannies have female brains or not?

>>16747752
Women pretending to be men do, yes.

>>16747754
not what i asked bub

>>16747756
Not all trannies are biological women, so not all will have female brains.

>>16747759

>>16747731
>"I NEED ACCOMODATIONS FOR A TEST BECAUSE I HAVE TESTING ANXIETY".
How is testing anxiety diagnosed? Don't most people feel a bit anxious before a big exam?

>>16747914
You send a form to a doctor and they say they diagnosed you with the appropriate forms.
I assume you just cry to your doc and he says, "you paid for this appointment, right?" and then writes that you have test anxiety.
Yes, I feel like it's fairly normal to have some anxiety.
Do I think you should be in charge of life saving care if a test scares you badly enough that you need anxiety accommodations, though? No

What’s the best specialty if i hate people but kinda not really and don’t wanna get cucked by AI

>>16747925
>Yes, I feel like it's fairly normal to have some anxiety.
>Do I think you should be in charge of life saving care if a test scares you badly enough that you need anxiety accommodations, though? No
Yeah, I feel anxiety before big exams but I know I just have to do it anyways. Being an adult means you just have to do stuff you don't want to do.
