Members don't see this ad.

Figured I would do one of these for fun. I'm a 2nd year resident at a program in Ohio. Graduated from KSUCPM. Hopefully can provide some insight for any pre-pods who are interested in the profession.

I have nerve pain and need your help. My feet tingle and burn and are numb everywhere. I hurt all over and can barely walk. I may or may not have fibromyalgia - the other doctor who treated me is incompetent and doesn't know. You are the only doctor who can help me. You must help me. I trust you doctor. I only argue with you because I know you care. I will not point to a specific location. Please assure me you are getting lots of clinical training and will be doing a nerve surgery fellowship so you can help me. May I call you by your first name?

How do you feel about Vision 2020 and do you see it's impact at your current residency?

 

[air bud]

Have you had your anesthesia patient, and how comfortable do you feel with your ability to intubate a patient?

Last time I heard about a Vision it was Vision 2015. Was there one prior to that? How often are they updating these visions that never come true?

Depends on what they see in their vision. I hear they mix in nail fungus with some of the peyote. I would assume that trichophyton is the more hallucinogenic of all of them.


Yes I had to look up the name of of nail fungus because I don't remember them from school. And I have had to know the name exact5 zero times in my career which most would say is successful to date.

Tell us about how your job search is going...

I don't see how this forum can be productive with the older burned out folks brigading at will.

A resident tries to be a helpful resource in the pre-podiatry students forum and the majority of replies are sarcastic quips from SDN old timers.
