Careful with BIDMC

[Quixote]

The PD continues to be a big negative (read scutwork.com). A friend who is a senior even mentioned that she will be vindictive unless you bow to her every whim all the time!!!!
So glad I am not there.
Apparently however the premises, peers and faculty are awesome.
Anybody has any input? Younger brother is thinking about ranking, but I have heard horror stories about PD.

Can you explain this thread: http://forums.studentdoctor.net/showpost.php?p=2724058&postcount=1

I am starting my IM residency at BIDMC tomorrow <gasp>. I have two Q for experienced Bostonians. I recently moved from Texas.

1) At 6 am, is it faster to drive route 9 or the mass pike, coming from Southboro where I live? I have tried but still am not clear where traffic is worse.

2) If one goes the shortracking route, does that mean one gets a fellow salary starting the 3rd year? Or is the salary less? Not that money would be my only consideration, but even though I like the possibility of shortracking, I could not afford to perceive a lower salary at this point in my life.

PS: For those not in Boston, can you believe that parking at the building where I have orientation costs $29 for the day??????????????????

Especially considering they all have the same # of posts as the user and the same userid ("68068")?

Looks like someone got caught

Yup, seems odd. Perhaps you would like to honestly tell us what you have against this program?

Relax guys...this person's obviously trying to secure his/her spot at BID by scaring others away. Luckily trolls like Quixote and Philly4343 (from the UPenn thread) always have double digit posts to give them away...

I believe Quixote is giving a fair warning.
I also used roommate´s nickname once, had forgotten my password.
Heard of one guy who did not match into fellowship, later found out LOR from PD was awful.
BID is a great hospital, but housestaff are not in love with PD
