😆 You're probably right. Regardless... eyeball surgery, gag me. It won't happen.

 

[cliffhuxtableDO]

Haha, i'm not real savvy on opthamology but I think if you're doing eye surgery and the humor spills out then you did it wrong 🙂

I bet 50% of opthamology is saying "look at the light" and "you have pretty eyes, is that a wedding ring?" haha j/k

sounds like a good gig

 

[Geekchick921]

Well, it IS a ROAD.

 

[cliffhuxtableDO]

Well, it IS a ROAD.

i know. none of the ROADs really appeal to me at this point.

 

[Kip]

I've been under review for a few hours now. There must be something physically wrong with me.

 

[Geekchick921]

Only one that mildly interests me is Anesthesiology, but eh. Sometimes they call it ROADE and throw EM in there. EM kinda interests me, too.

But honestly, I'm like 95% sure I'll wind up in Ob/Gyn or Peds-Neonatology.

 

[cliffhuxtableDO]

i think ENT should be considered as a ROAD too. i could see myself doing that, perhaps.

 

[Hoody]

only anesthesia appeals to me because of its crit care component.....though I'd rather go pulmonolgy/CCM at this point.

according to US News..."Between 2005 and 2008, the specialty with the greatest salary boost was pulmonary medicine: Median pay rose from $180,000 in 2005 to $249,531 in 2008. The median salary offered to dermatologists was $270,000 in 2008, up more than 37 percent from the $197,000 offered in 2005. But not all specialties saw increases. The median salary for gastroenterologists fell by 1.5 percent over the past four years."


money matters nill to me. just thought this was sorta interesting...

 

[cliffhuxtableDO]

as long as i'm eatin' good in the hood

It could be...

How much do you like putting tubes in baby's ears? 😉

 

[cliffhuxtableDO]

if it makes babies better then i'm all for it

 

[Kip]

I just want a specialty where I'll be home for dinner (almost) every night.

 

[cliffhuxtableDO]

i'm willing to sacrifice some dinners if i'm doing some sweet ass surgeries.

Seriously, it's not all you do, but my understanding is that is a bread and butter kind of procedure for ENTs, especially ones that do Peds ENT. It went on my list (but still way down) after I saw how quickly, and in how many way (walking, sleeping and talking) Chicklet felt better after her tubes.

I work with the largest medical group consisting entirely of a single specialty, anesthsiolgists. They are some of the happiest docs in the hospital. I really like the OR and anesthesia is kind of appealing. I'm pretty sure I'll go into a surgical specialty... Hopefully ortho. EM is interesting to me as well (both anesthesia and em have a fair amount of procedural work). Anesthesia-pain management would be rewarding work as well. Relieving someones chronic pain is HUGE.

Luckily I'd be happy in most specialties as long as I get patient contact (ie not radiology)

trauma freaks me out. I couldn't do EM. omg.

my top 4:

1. adult pulm/ccm
2. adult neurosurg
3. adult anes/ccm
4. peds general surg

Ob/Gyn or Peds-Neonatology.

I think you'd be the most mentally stimulated with the later and for me thats a plus. you'd be like the me of the baby world...critical care/intensivist of the nicu. for reals. 👍

 

[cliffhuxtableDO]

I've got to limit myself on SDN to staying in this thread... to many people out "there" are stressing on lame stuff. I'm glad everyone here keeps their game tight and doesn't stress on the small stuff 🙂

indeed

so we wont go to med school together, but we'll be in the same residency. you'll of course come to the east coast.

If you didn't hear what I said on the video, that was six hours after her surgery. We came home, watched Sesame Street, ate breakfast, then she took a long nap. She woke up and started walking for the first time. She was 14 months old. As of the day before, she refused to take steps on her own, you HAD to hold her hands or she had to be using a push toy because her balance was so blown from the fluid in her ears.

 

[cliffhuxtableDO]

yeah, i heard. that had to be a major relief as a parent.

Agreed. My MIL has chronic pain issues from a car accident injury from more than 20 years ago.

 

[Hoody]

damn,

 

[cliffhuxtableDO]

you can do pain management as an ortho too, especially if you're a spine specialist.

Wicked high malpractice for that specialty.

 

[cliffhuxtableDO]

it comes with the territory. nice paychecks too.

 

[Geekchick921]

True story.

 

[Hoody]

OMFG for real. Lucy is THE BOMB! lol so hard at the snow....oh god.

😆

 

[cliffhuxtableDO]

huh? lucy?

 

[Hoody]

thats a cookie by the way.

 

[cliffhuxtableDO]

so confoozed

 

[Geekchick921]

thats a cookie by the way.

What's a cookie? (Edit: OH! The icon for your post title).

msb, she's watching the rest of my Youtube vids. Stalker.

And yes, Lucy looooooooooooooooooves the snow, and we had a ton of it this winter.

 

[cliffhuxtableDO]

creep.

 

[Hoody]

thats twice today that ive been called that. and the third time in a month. wtf.



my dog badger loves the snow too! i think ive posted my dogs here before..

 

[rHinO1]

I'd got to the east coast and find out what's good 😀

Within ortho I'd most like to do total joint replacements. Again, relieving pain and restoring someones mobility is HUGE. Very rewarding work with a high success rate and high patient satisfaction.

Sports med and ortho-trauma would be cool too.

 

[cliffhuxtableDO]

sports med would be my biggest interest as an ortho. joint replacement is really cool to watch, so it's probably even more fun to perfom. we'll have a bangin' practice.

word! Dr. James Andrews won't have nothing on us haha

 

[cliffhuxtableDO]

that's for sure. we should try to get him to teach us and put his name on our practice to get us off and running.

 

[Geekchick921]

Ortho is pretty much the only surgical specialty that appeals to me. Sometimes it grosses me out, other times it totally fascinates me.

 

[rHinO1]

👍 good plan

Come join Msb and I at our practice... It will be a lot less gross than draining ascites or putting your finger up someones rectum.

 

[cliffhuxtableDO]

yeah, we need a woman for diversity

Either one of you Jewish? Someone's gotta take Christmas and Easter so I can spend them with the fam squad.

Sorry not I, but I'm willing to alternate each year with you 🙂 ... but then again surgeons usually don't schedule surgeries on major holidays so we'd only have to work if it was something urgent 👍


Edit: it would be more likely a general surgeon had to come in for a lap appy or lap chole than an orthopod

 

[CougarMD]

Glad to hear it! My advisor is taking his sweet-ass time. The composite letter is done. You have an Interfolio account, just upload it already!


Pregnant ladies gross you out? Or vomiting pregnant ladies?

What the hell is wrong with pregnant ladies?


1. Yes. It's stupid. They're going to verify it anyway and possibly change it but we still have to do it first.

2. Verifying the grades that we input.

3. Long enough to thorougly describe the experience, but skip the flowerly dialogue and BS. The advice most often give on SDN is to be succinct and use bullet points.

4. Like others said, you can upload letters later.

Hahah, nononoNO.
And one more time...NO🙂

All fluids from pregnant ladies are welcome. I'm a doula.

I meant that I HATE vomit, UNLESS you are a pregnant lady.

that's a bit gun-ho even for a doula

we'd figure it out. we'll keep a rookie around for that reason.

i'm only working christmas day if i'm the lakers team doc.

I like the idea of keeping a rookie around to be our holiday guy... I'll keep an eye out for a candidate from the 2016 thread haha.

If I do end up working christmas for both of you I expect an awesome gift that year... we're talking new home theater awesome 👍

 

[CougarMD]

Yeah, that was one of those "crap, I just hit enter and the term 'welcome' sounds uber-creepy" moments😉

i knew what you meant. vomit FTL.

I just got home from a birth and I actually was relieved there was no vomit. There was plenty of other ickiness that I don't normally see.

 

[cliffhuxtableDO]

oh, and i'll see patients but i am not operating the day after halloween.

that's fair. as long as i can come over and watch it too.

Yeah but if there's an accident and someone needs plates or something put in, we'd be coming in, would we not? But you've got a point.

Hahah, nononoNO.

1. As a doula, you awesome! I wish I'd hired one with Chicklet. I'm definitely hiring one next time.
2. I also HATE vomit. I don't even think being pregnant makes it okay. The only vomit I can handle is baby/toddler vomit, since it's nowhere near as... chunky. If I see someone else vomit, I'll usually feel sick until I vomit. Sucks.

we'd figure it out. we'll keep a rookie around for that reason.

I like the way you think.
