Dude named
D712
got
DISSED
last week
for
no reason.
See, there was this thread
Switch Into Anesthesiology Residency
originated by a dude who thought he wanted to be a
radiologist.
Dude had endured a surgery internship.
Inquired about applying for anesthesia.
Looking for guidance.
D712 essentially said
"contact alotta anesthesiology
PROGRAM DIRECTORS."
Which was the right answer for this wandering dude's plight.
Yet
D712
was called out since he hasn't done a residency yet.
Hasn't done med school yet.
BUT DUDE STILL PROVIDED THE
RIGHT
ANSWER
with that fact, the fact that he provided the
RIGHT ANSWER
was still
IGNORED
by this board as a whole.
WHY?
Are we as physicians SO arrogant as to not be able to take advice from someone
OUTSIDE OUR CLAN?
Lemme break this down for ya'll.
MEDICINE IS A BUSINESS
that operates not unlike other non-medical businesses.
Some questions about how to react to certain situations
DON'T NEED A DOCTOR AND, IN FACT,
may be better directed by a non-physician...i.e
BUSINESS....MONEY...
doctors are
NOTORIOUS FOR OVERSTEPPING BOUNDARIES
and losing
money...relationships...businesses...
because they chose to not listen to
SOMEONE ELSE.
Back to
D712,
dude is
VERY ACCOMPLISHED
in a non medical field.
Dude
has smoked the pre med accomplishments. He's published. He's active in the medical environment.
He's on his way to our medical field and
WILL ARRIVE.
But just for s h i ts and giggles, lets pretend D712
HAD NO INTEREST IN MEDICINE.
ARE WE SOOOOOOO ARROGANT AS DOCTORS THAT WE SHOUT OUT AGAINST SOMEONE ACCOMPLISHED IN ANOTHER FIELD TRYING TO GUIDE AN INDIVIDUAL IN OUR FIELD, MEDICINE, TO DO THE RIGHT THING IN A "BUSINESS" SITUATION?
Isn't trying to change residency aspirations
BUSINESS?
D712 is an accomplished Hollywood screenwriter. Dude texted me yesterday that he wrote for 4 hours and made X dollars. "X" is a figure you wouldn't believe, so I'll leave it out.
You don't get the opportunity to write scripts for X dollars unless you are
GIFTED.
And you don't arrive at the proverbial
Top Hollywood Screenwrite Ladder
without
PROWESS. Business sense. Ability to relate to others. Ability to handle situations.
Turns out D712 has innate ability to
multitask
and has this burning thing inside of him that he wants to be a doctor. Actually he wants to be an
anesthesiologist.
So his spare time in between the lucrative screenwrites he composes has been spent at the
anesthesiology department
for the better of two years now
soaking up knowledge.
About our profession.
As an aside,
how many hospitals recruit for specific problems
"MEDICAL CONSULTANTS?"
Are these "medical consultants" who earn six figures for specific situational problems...are they
ALL DOCTORS?
Nope.
Yet they often
provide salient knowledge.
YOU DUDES SPAT ON D712 FOR OFFERING ADVICE AS A PREMED TO A RESIDENT.
I'm not happy about that.
Hoping, going forward,
maybe we as doctors realize we can learn
ALOT
from
others.
