How many real doctors give advice on here?

Members don't see this ad.

I'm just curious as to how many real doctors give advice to pre-meds on here. I always found this site useful many years ago. But I'll be an attending in a couple months 🙂

Incidentally, of course I'm willing to give advice, but my knowledge of the application process is likely out of date.

@Goro @LizzyM @gyngyn @Winged Scapula @mimelim @QofQuimica


^ they're all docs that give solid advice on here

 

[bwells46]

It's great that people "give back". Everyone needs a hand at some point.

 

[Goro]

Alas, I'm a PhD...phony doctor.

SouthernSurgeon and Law2Doc are two real ones who also come to mind. Oh, can't forget Cabinbuilder and Hushcom!

This is actually my first foray back into pre-Allo since becoming an attending. I feel a little more comfortable dispensing residency/clinical rotation advice, since I am still actively involved in those things.

Also, @Faha, @mikesheree, and @IlDestriero.

LOL it's ok we still love you.

Totally forgot Catalystik

That cat looks like my wife's cat!

You might want to call her and see if it's doing ok!

I'm one month away from being an MD and I give advice here? Any love for me? 🙁

If I will be a "real" doctor at that point I dunno...

Even though you have another few months 'til licensure:😍

But you were mentioned

Yeah, I don't have time to read the notes for content.

Not a doctor but just completed 23 years on the medical school faculty.

I am learning more about you guys every minute!

There's several of us here.

@SouthernSurgeon except he might still be a resident?

 

[IlDestriero]

@SouthernSurgeon except he might still be a resident?

I would say that's a real doctor.

 

[WingedOx]

Are any of us really real when you think about it?

He has a lot more than that until he gets licensed.

 

[Catalystik]

He has a lot more than that until he gets licensed.

Starting ~July 1, he'll be practicing as a physician under institutional licensure until he completes PGY-1 and Step 3 (requirements might vary by state) and applies for an individual license. Let's be liberal and decide that he still counts. Since he's been helpful. 😉

 

[QofQuimica]

Nonsense. There's a reason why medical school is considered to be an undergraduate education as opposed to grad school. I still consider my PhD to be my highest degree, not my MD. 🙂

 

[IlDestriero]

I don't think I like anything enough to get a PhD. MD is going to have to be good enough. Maybe a MBA. We will see in a couple years.

 

[RTC19]

@DokterMom, if she hasn't been mentioned already. She's a great lady. 🙂

The last I checked, Nick Naylor is finishing up MS4 now, so he should adhere to this thread's definition of a real doctor pretty soon.

 

[DokterMom]

Thanks! But also not a doctor... 😢

 

[TexasSurgeon]

Thanks! But also not a doctor... 😢

Well since technically Downton served as a hospital in WWI...lol

 

[ridethecliche]

MAKE ME!

Well, like... what is reality like anyway?

 

[IgEdoc]

Nonsense. There's a reason why medical school is considered to be an undergraduate education as opposed to grad school. I still consider my PhD to be my highest degree, not my MD. 🙂

makes sense, so I figure internship/residency/fellowship is "grad school", the patients you treat all those years become "research and learning", and the Board certification become the "PhD" dissertation and title

 

[The Buff OP]

Now, should we only trust the advice given by physicians who have the physician badge?

 

[DrPerrla]

Y'all just reminded me that I'm gonna be a "real doctor" in T minus 35 days!

 

[TooMuchResearch]

I mean, I don't really give advice, but I do post things.
