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

[woodbarry]

I usually see the anesthesia guys in the SICU

Really? The 1 experience I had it was primarily pulmonologists.

either you're displacing or suffer from reading comprehension problems like many medical students.

Shut up, you fat piece of foreign MD shit.

what is the job situation with anesthesia/ccm? I thought it sounded like a cool option but I have heard from some pulm/ccm docs that they won't hire anesthesia/ccm because the anesthesia guys can't cover pulm clinic aside from superiority comments regarding IM-pulm to anesthesia in terms of knowing more about medicine

SICU and CVICU are your best bet nation-wide, but West-coast MICUs are hiring us, and in a few years so will the rest of the country. Anesthesia/CCM makes the best intensivist.

Dude IM is the bread & butter of medicine, why the fuk did you go to med school if you hate it so much? Sure by the end of intern year I was over wards (anesthesia/critical care brah here) but still enjoyed it for what it was.

Plus, best way to do well on a rotation is be interested and enthusiastic. Quit bitching son. You freely chose this path.

but why you mad tho? IM isn't everyone's dream job brah.

Of course. I was not into it enough to do IM for a living. One year of IM as in intern will last a life-time, but I hear so many cucks complaining about it as if it's the worst thing in the world - that's fine to feel that way, but what the FUK did you think medical school and intern year were gonna be? Intern year was exactly what I thought - bullshit placement admits, lots of DC summaries, BS consults, etc. But also plenty of real medicine, and it covered the breadth of our field. It was fun.

the medicine isn't the issue. it's that ms3 grind that sucks. it's great to see some specialties up close so you know for sure that you don't want that life, but the process can really weigh you down. gotta take those small victories when they come. i'm sure intern year will be rough, but at least my notes will count for something lol

[echoareone]

it's that ms3 grind that sucks.l

isn't that the ****ing truth?

[ViktorFrankl]

Synapsin, do you have a good basic article or some such on differences between VP / VA / etc shunts, complications, work up, and management? Have so many kids with these and try not to appear retard status to nsurg

Edit :don't have access to that article either Santa

[woodbarry]

santa I too tried to get the article and failed. I sent a note to our librarians so hopefully they can get access to it and send it to me.

Anatomy is fukin me hard

stupid forearm muscles... didn't know it took so many muscles to jerk off

[Shortofdaybreak]

Completed a Sub-I today. Got two letters out of it...One.of which is a PD.


Awwwwww yeah

Stay in the anatomy lab and continue to study until it's 2nd nature, you little bitch ass boy

My group's cadaver is legitimately rotting already, no thx jeff. Plus MCB has priority right now, exam in 1 week. I'm shooting for that perfect score, dead srs (my Bio major was MCB-intensive and I've yet to miss a MCB question on a quiz)

The 2 weekends and week before my anatomy exam and practical I'm pretty much going to be living in the anatomy lab though, fuk me.

It becomes a lot easier when you break it down and think about the name of each muscle in relation to what it actually does. Label diagrams over and over, spend time learning them in the wet lab and you'll be fine

Are extensors flexors and flexors extensors down under?
Are brevus and longus opposite too?

Yes. Do all this. And then in a few years almost none of it will matter to most MDs. Can't believe all the irrelevant shit we had to learn during med school. A lot of it was interesting, but knowing it has not made me a better doctor. Still, if you have a cadaver as part of your anatomy class, treasure it; apparently this is becoming less common.

Anatomy is "irrelevent chit"?

Everything is opposite here in Australia brah

The fuk is happening ITT? Up is down and gas makes the best intensivists. Fukin straya?

I am gonna have to hear your speciality before passing final judgement...

Lol so this is why I get consults daily by physicians that don't know the basic locations/existence of bodily organs?

smh

[Shortofdaybreak]

At my home program, surgery is the best for intensive care. They spend the most time in the STICU and generally are exposed more throughout their residency.

Starting a trauma Sub-I tomorrow. Hoping to see some GSW and MVAs, rather than just sitting on my hands lol

[the_Yush]

In Anki, does studying a "cram deck" impact the due date of those cards in my normal deck?

haha I'm talking about e.g. recalling the name, origin and insertion of the individual muscles of the forearm, or the names of all the tarsal bones

Anesthesia most definitely produces the best intensivists.

CCM by way of anesthesia, of course.

[WeekndOrNah]

Every time I close my eyes, all I can see is fukin fascia or whatever part of the cadaver we just worked on in lab

[F23]

Lol if you think that anyone likes straight IM. There's a reason that most hospitalists are imports or freshly minted IM attendings taking a break before fellowship.

[Dr. Horse]

haha I'm talking about e.g. recalling the name, origin and insertion of the individual muscles of the forearm, or the names of all the tarsal bones

It's a slippery slope I guess. All I know is that the anatomical knowledge of medicine/primary care/EM doctors I interact with is terrible. Like, embarrassingly bad.

[incomingbrOMS]

At my home program, surgery is the best for intensive care. They spend the most time in the STICU and generally are exposed more throughout their residency.

This is because of the total ****e quality of a lot of IM programs. I've actually more or less ruled out a number of bigger name places because of how garbage their critical care training is. IMO you should come out of IM able to be a hospitalist or an intensivist. If you want to fellow CCM or pulm/CCM that's fine, but you should be able to manage an ICU as an IM grad.

[stevesteve12]

those of you wanting to apply for back up specialty

what u do when your MSPE comments clearly indicates that you wanted a different (your first choice) specialty?

[Geoloop]

about 3 months until i become a "doctor" and still no idea what im going to do once i finish.
