Should I take prolonged vacation from SDN?

Discuss

 

[sevoflurane]

Did I miss some SDN drama?? 😕😕

Urge has gottsta stay.

 

[hoyden]

WTF?

Where is the beginning?

Urge, stop.

 

[karizma098]

haha, this actually brightened my day a bit.

i don't think you should take the internet so seriously ....

i vote you stay. ;-D

p.s. - i voted that 'karizma098 is a ****' , just to see you smile, princess.

(although singling another member out as a '****' on a poll may not be the most mature thing to do when your panties are in a twist.)

everyone should be entitled to their opinion without having to leave. maybe in the future a heated discussion doesn't have to degenerate into personal attacks on one another's degrees, etc. best of luck.

Discuss

Why?
I think that you are crazy but that's exactly why you should not leave!

Every other day I feel that I need to get the hell out of here but I am still here and I have no clue why!

 

[Thanatopsis]

No. It was clear you were not serious.

Before the thread deteriorated, it was clear.

What was it you were trying to prove?

 

[hoyden]

blah-blah-blah

Who the heck is this whiny?
-----------------------------------
To urge - what's the beef with the fight between two similar degrees? Stupid, obviously, to have two branches of education for the same legal result ( does not exist anywhere else in the world). However, I would assume the epidemic of lower back pain could be much better addressed by the chiropractic ( or holistic, whatever that means) approach than pumping opiates and antidepressants into anybody who is complaining about some pain in the back.

I have no idea what you guys are talking about!
Can someone enlighten me?

the OMT in anesthesia thread kind of offrailed into DO bashing and reciprocated urge bashing earlier. i feel lame about it, but nobody's perfect .

 

[karizma098]

Don't sweat it. Everyone has bad days.

thanks. i'm off to enjoy the rest of this beautiful day outdoors. everyone have a good week and weekend. ( you too , urge. ) 👍

 

[Thanatopsis]

Who cares, dude. I could give two sh*ts if someone made fun of my education.

Oh I wasn't asking you to answer that question. Just piggy-backing on your idea.

I was asking a general rhetorical question for both sides to consider.

Nothing wrong with a little bombast and hyperbole every now and then, and heck a little controversy

AND SOME GOOD OL' COMEDY.

It is Cyberspace! Digital egos.....

 

[doctor712]

I have to vote that you stay Urge, if only because I went through plenty on this board and was pretty much warned, welcomed, and supported when all was said and done.

I vote stay too. I've been following the OMT thread, and things just got taken out of proportion. Sometimes, inadvertently you can nick someone's sensitive spot.

Being a childish douche often tends to do that

 

[cfdavid]

I say stay Urge. Who cares if you've ruffled some feathers. Part of the beauty of this forum is to discuss topics that may otherwise be taboo.

We need to challenge each other. Call a spade a spade. Whatever, but debate is good. Free exchange of information, which is a VERY recent phenomenon is one of the best things to happen this century. No longer can a handful of companies/families/groups dominate the debate (or stifle the debate) within their little media oligarchies.

That being said, I've not read the OMT thread, nor do I intend to. But a few ruffled feathers aren't going to hurt a grown adult. At least not permanently.

Stick around dude.

Dude, I actually like your sense of humor. You definitely must stay! Viva la "Pent, sux, tube!"

 

[Narcotized]

I just wasted 5 minutes of my life reading the OMT thread, except for this line:


<<<< 'you must have **** computer'

nice english borat >>>>

 

[cfdavid]

I finally read the OMT thread as well.

People, the absolute last thing we need to do is spend time on MD/DO issues............. 100% counterproductive.

That being said, Urge, I still love ya man!

 

[karizma098]

that thread also resulted in me pretty much earning the title of the resident SDN' **** ', ( in reference to above survey ) so i guess that's cool too. 😀

agreed that it was pointless and counterproductive. will definitely not get into any more MD/DO flame wars on here.

 

[jetproppilot]

Here's my take on this whole discussion.

I've gotten the jest of it without reading the thread in question.

This is gonna come as a shock to the almighty judgemental out there:

MD, DO, CARRIBEAN, JOE'S MED SCHOOL IN HOBOKOE KANSAS, SURF & TURF SCHOOL OF MEDICINE IN PUERTO RICO, THE TIME-LIFE CORRESPONDENCE COURSE OF PHYSICIAN STUDIES,

doesnt really matter as long as the INDIVIDUAL lands an allopathic residency.

Yep.

It comes down to 2 things:

1)YOU. The INDIVIDUAL. Atypical candidate had to take an alternative route? Had to go to Joe's in Hobokoe, Kansas? Doesnt matter as long as you land an

2)Allopathic residency. Many people from the metaphorical Joe's med school have landed the residency of their dreams before you, and many people will after. Does attending Joe's affect your chances? Potentially. But like I said its been done before, and it'll be done after, YOU.

All other conversations, well, you might as well be comparing schlong length or be going to the local fair to see who can hit the bell first with the sledgehammer.

We all come from different places.

Judgemental group (not aimed at Urge..you should stay dude btw...I'm saying "judgemental group" globally), I know physicians from Joe's that can SMOKE many who took the traditional route.

Noone has ever walked in your shoes but YOU.

Never, ever, doubt

YOU.

Use whatever means neccesary to land an allopathic residency if you really wanna be a doctor.

Your residency its whats really important.

After you've done that, where you went to med school becomes irrelevant.

JOE'S MED SCHOOL IN HOBOKOE KANSAS

As a newly admitted student to the University of Kansas I take great offense to what you are implying.

[...]

Are osteopathic residencies really that inferior to allopathic residencies? (I don't have any first-hand experience with osteopathic programs.)

It just strikes me as odd that you're cool with Nameless Foreign Grass-Hut School Of Medicine, but appear to be almighty judgemental when it comes to accredited osteopathic US residency programs and their US-trained physicians.


How many osteopathic anesthesia programs are there, anyway?

Not being judgemental.

Factual. Not judgemental.

Recognizing the fact that an allopathic residency will take you anywhere in this country. An osteopathic residency, regardless of quality, will severely limit the number of hospitals that will accept you on as a member of the medical staff.

 

[Arch Guillotti]

I am going to take the middle ground of the two above esteemed posters.

Disclaimer: I completed an ACGME residency and did not even think twice about an osteopathic residency.

There is a paucity of information about DO gas residencies on this board. To my knowledge in the history of this board there has been one resident in a DO program taht has posted here.

An ACGME residency is the "gold standard" and always will be.

DO residencies are a wild card in my opinion. Small number of residents and my assumption is that they are done at more community oriented places.

I think that if you complete a DO residency you will have plenty of job opportunities. I don't think that you will be severely limited.

I also think that are a fool if you think you won't be limited in some way getting the exact job that you want.

The most blatant limiting of your job prospects are the hospitals and health care systems that do not recognize DO training. These places may be few and far between but the reality is that these sort of places exist.

I would imagine that groups that are large or well known or in an area without many DO's would raise their eyebrows at an AOA residency. While you may be god's gift to gas coming out of a DO residency, if a group has never taken a non ABA board certified physician they probably aren't going to start with you when they have applicants from a "known" (ie ACGME) entity.
