TMI.

No! It's pertinent to my stomach situation.

I dc, that's gross.

Dude, I just don't want you to worry if I haven't posted in the past minute.

Still.

Ok, well don't leave please??

Fine. Only because I'm an awesome friend, not just an internet friend, for realzies friend.


brb, poop time.

There is so much win in this post. :laugh:

WTF last night?!?!?! Holy crap, guys.
 
I already stated that I wasn't trying to one-up you. I tried to show what one could do to increase the post count of this thread, lol

Well since last night gave about 8 or 9 pages in about 30 minutes or so, I would say that moved up the projected date of 100,000 by quite a bit.
 
Hi everyone.
I must have missed like 100000000 pages.
New boys demand a lot of attention for some reason. lol

btws bender...whats with the new bird
 
oh. i should probably get out of quick reply, post pad mode now that it's daytime
 
haha :d

Well you didn't share last night, so none for you 🙂

I take it that means your stomach is feeling better?
 
everyone seems to be n a lazy/brownie eating mood...just like myself lol
 
I wonder when I should start writing my third Baylor love letter. I think I'll wait until after this week, because I wouldn't want to send a letter the day before I get waitlisted.
 
lebron put up a triple double in 3 quarters today. that shot at the end of the 3rd was ridic
 
here are Lebron's average numbers for the playoffs:

4 games
40 mpg
59% FG%
55% 3PT% (12/22)
78% FT% (28/36), basically going 7/9 from the line per game
1.5 stl/game
2.5 blk/game (ridiculous)
3.0 TO/game (ridiculous)
2.5 fouls/game (ridiculous)
9.0 reb/game (he can do better)
8.0 ast/game (subpar)
35 ppg (ok)
 
I don't feel like searching for this right now, so maybe if someone knows this off the top of their head they can answer me.

Do the top residency programs make you do research? If so, how do they incorporate that into your training, besides making you take an extra research year?

Just a random thought.
 
you are gonna end up having to do it for fellowship application. you don't have to though, but i think you won't be able to avoid it at the top places. research in this case is 100% clinical though and you won't really handle much of the data/writing, especially at the top places. i can ask further if you like, my dad directs the research portion for cardiology fellows at a med school
 
my dad basically says people show up for like 2 hours and expect to have their name on an abstract or a paper. which he usually gives, its not really a big deal compared to bench research, where people are more likely to have bigger egos + have had spent more time on the project
 
if you are gonna do spine, you will end up being on certain research projects but definitely not bench or translational.

i do hear that most spine spots go unfilled because of the future of reimbursements/malpractice insurances
 
yea, more with IM than surgery. if someone in your dept needs a hand with surgery though, it might be the easiest way to publish. quick/small involvements with either human or large animal (or small, i guess) procedures and you would be good to go
 
my dad usually does surgeries with him and other faculty and then he uses residents (or me) for charts/ultrasounds/imaging/etc
 
Thanks, just wondering.

This would probably hold true for almost any IM or surgery fellowship, right?
defiantly for medicine. But like bb said its clincal (which is wayyyyy easy not sure if youve done it yet.) You can pop these things out easy and get publish/present. For me im defiantly interested in heme/onc and the fellowship for it at most places i looked was about 2 years clinical and 1 year research. Some were 1.5 years clinical and 1.5 research. Through the research years you focus on that with just a few days in the clinic
