I will never understand why my attending said “you have to look at the X-ray yourself- can’t trust what the radiologist says” Sir, I am a 3rd year medical student. Surely the radiologist, a residency trained physician, knows better than I

So a 17 weeker with an IUFD is coming in for an induction but if it fails she has to be transferred to another hospital for any sort of operative intervention because anesthesia here refuses to participate in any sort of abortion care. Even though the fetus is already dead.

Why are DOs still othered my major medical associations in a way that makes us seem inferior? Most of us take (and pass) the MD boards and then a week or so later take the DO boards AND the DO boards are longer and have more info on them that the MD students don’t learn

One of my favorite things to do on rotations is when my elders (resident, attending, etc) says “would you have come in for something like *that*” regarding the patient’s chief complaint and I go “I mean, if I didn’t have the education I have, yeah absolutely” And then they go 🙄

So med schools charge full tuition for 4th year but don’t provide any education. I have a rotation I would like to apply to but it costs $550. My school, the one I’m paying tuition to, doesn’t help with the cost of rotations even though that’s how I’m being educated 🤔

You 👏 do NOT 👏 need research 👏 to match. Residency programs want you to be efficient and competant clinicians - that requires: 1. Take a history 2. Do a physical/mental status exam 3. Work well others 4. Respond well to feedback Everything else is a cherry on top.
