I bet you never forget the methionine cycle….
what is it?! I forgot.
Certainly no longer a student. As a professional student, I did “extra” during med school, I also finished two residencies and did research for two years.
TBH, anything that’s not on the steps/board exams are pretty much waste of time. Isn’t the running “joke” that we forget more in med school than most people remember in their life time?
I think faculty need to appreciate the fact that to determine what antibiotics to start in the ED, have absolutely nothing to do with Gram stain. (Start big then narrow down). To give TPA or not is NOT mainly based on whether you know where the lesion is. (A lot of it is clinical judgment). Do I really know how many ATPs are made in kreb cycle? (Unless I am doing genetics, even then… ?)
I don’t pretend to know where the line should be drawn, we need to know a lot of the basics before we can really appreciate what we do daily, or do we? A lot of stuff that I had to memorize, have zero impact of what I do now.
I wish I learned more about dealing with midlevels, dingus peers/administrations and finances, rather than spending time to memorize the methionine cycle.
But this may not be what you’re looking for Goro.
