Misc. Med Thread Vol. 3: caribbean diabetus strikes back

[anonymous]

Edit: comments with regard to gen surg, I can't fairly comment outside that, except for ped surg

Yes, i too refer to gen surg. Loved my time on ortho and NSG

[santal0l]

Surgery fawkin socked and I honored everything clinical years, umadbrah. Srs though, I hate the OR so surgery was never going to happen, but the prevalence of toxic personalities in surgery is definitely higher than elsewhere.

Oddly enough the only ahole gen surg resident I encountered was gunning for peds surgery. All of the peds surgery attendings were extremely awesome though.

Read your post before the edit, lol'd.

[Kaduceus]

in all my years of med school I learned this about surgery

general surgery is full of the most toxic personalities you've ever encountered; any specialized surgery has some of the coolest

To my understanding, bank, but the evidence base is chitty. There are misc medders who could better answer though

Notmad because my comment doesn't apply to you. Austere def sucked at surgery rotation based on his own comments.

Not always true, but is a fair generalization.

I haven't had to work /with/ most of the subspec, but based on consults and interactions on the floor / in the unit, theyre at least normal people. Have had great impressions left by uro and ent in particular though

[F23]

I did well during my MS3 surgery rotation but couldn't imagine myself in the specialty. For one, I vasovagal in the OR. Secondly, the hours. Don't know how surgery residents - or surgery attendings for that matter - do it. I have no idea how I would be able to lift and have a proper diet as a surgery resident. I have hard enough of a time working 55-60 hrs/week in diagnostic rads.

Edit: Oh and I forgot about the personalities in surgery... not for me. Too malignant.

[Dr. Horse]

There's a big dividing line in medicine- surgery and medicine. Most people know very quickly which group they fall into without having to think very hard about it. The differences between med and surg specialties is so vast; it's like a totally different profession, mindset, lifestyle, etc. I could never imagine doing a non -surg specialty. At this point I would just quit medicine rather than do something else, srs. Do my fellow surgeonbrahs agree?

Probably true.. But some medical specialty tend to have the same mind set as surgical fields. Here I'm talking about the interventional cardiologist who don't seem like they did 3 years of core IM. Most of them have surgical personalities.
TBH the only thing that turned my off about surgery is not being able to get my macros in and lift properly (srs)

This was my experience as well. Gen surg rotation, angry overworked residents with 1 Neurosurg resident who was the most easy going guy. He was the only saving grace that kept me sane during that rotation.

Paging @Synapsin.

I wish we could tag users like on SDN.

[Peyronie]

I'd much rather get shat on by a horrible attending during a lap chole and then get profusely thanked by the actual patient, instead of writing about Mr. Johnson's uncontrolled hypertension and diet for six days in a row that ultimately results in him getting fatter and more hypertensive. Fuk that.

And don't even get me started on the awesome stories you hear in a regular gen urology clinic in one day. Lawd, can't wait.

[Austere]

1 week to go until the shelf. Time to finish the fight, and end my horrific experience with Surgery.

CK is easy to demolish if you set up a good foundation base in step 1

Think I studied 3 weeks for it

Same and part of my studying was done through my medicine AI.
