I have PTSD from my time on surgery.
I have it from Ob/Gyn. :/I have PTSD from my time on surgery.
Im on FM too. So far I have actually liked it a bunch, minus the kids. But I have not had peds yet which may explain it.Ha, I am so excited for surgery, I don't even get how anyone could feel otherwise. I start in January, and I can't wait. I'm on FM right now, and I feel like I'm just twiddling my thumbs waiting and bored.
I have never wanted to quit medicine so much in my life.Ha, I am so excited for surgery, I don't even get how anyone could feel otherwise. I start in January, and I can't wait. I'm on FM right now, and I feel like I'm just twiddling my thumbs waiting and bored.

Whaddya mean you hate cutting people open for fun?
You didn't even get an opportunity to have the attending/fellow/resident nonverbally communicate with you by angrily slapping at your instrument with their forceps? What a shame...Surgery is fine. Surgeons are miserable people. Being in the OR is a miserable experience. Being a medical student on surgery is especially miserable.
Spending my days standing in the OR all day long, learning nothing, maybe being acknowledged for 5 mins of the whole case was a waste of time.

That does suck. I'm sorry, feeling your pain with dat acne...Also my acne hasn't been this bad in years... Up yours, surgery. Up yours. Need to get me some meds, yo.

Anhidrosis is the first sign of heat stroke.Did anyone else get to do burn surgeries? The room is kept at about 98 degrees. Those surgeries can be quick (only an hour) to super long (6 hours). You eventual just quit sweating. For the marathon one, the 4th year and I were told to go take a shower when it was over.
Omg, I'm so sorry. I can't even imagine. I'm so easily irritated; I can't even imagine my level of furious exasperation enduring such a climate.Oh I had plenty of that....in addition to having a surgeon grab my hand in the middle of a case and repeatedly slap it to "loosen it up."
I particularly enjoyed the days I would hold the camera so long that my arms and hands would go numb.
"FOLLOW MY INSTRUMENT, ALL YOU HAVE TO DO IS KEEP MY INSTRUMENT IN THE CENTER OF THE SCREEN, DONT WAIT FOR ME TO TELL YOU TO MOVE."
Surgeon: * moves instrument*
Me: *moves camera so instrument is dead center*
"DID I TELL YOU TO MOVE THE CAMERA?????? DONT MOVE THAT THING UNLESS I TELL YOU.
Repeat q2 mins for 10+ hours a day and 5 weeks....
Ouch. Which ones?Two shelves next week.. why does my school do this to us..
Thanks for the nightmares.Ouch. Which ones?
And my school has started a program where you do all your rotations at the same time, shifting specialities from the AM to PM. At the end of 3rd year you take all the shelf exams with two weeks. You have to apply to be a part of the trial group and people actually competed for the spot. Screw that!
That sounds like the worst m3 experience imaginable.Ouch. Which ones?

I know. It sounds horrific. The only positive that I can think of is how great it would prepare you for step 2.That sounds like the worst m3 experience imaginable.

Ohio State. And I thought I had it bad, that program sounds ab-so-lutely god awful.Ouch. Which ones?

I'm always in the Bay*Anyone in the Los Angeles or Bay Area? [. . .]
EDIT: I found the answer to my own question by perusing the UC library websites. I'm down to hang in either area depending on which one I ultimately choose (probably back home in L.A.).
It's glorious.WHAT
I see what you did there.I'm always in the Bay*
*in spirit

Internal medicine is my home. I love building a differential and figuring out what is going on. The ICU is pretty interesting too.What specialty(ies) are folks leaning towards at thing point in the game?
Have been surprisingly in love with EM.
It's seriously such an interesting specialty. I am curious what the work/life balance is. I have a subI in it schedule for September.Ditto on IM. Currently in love with the idea of Pulm/Critical Care
