My first 6 months of residency has not been very educational. I was hoping there might be surg path fellows or attendings who would be willing to tutor me in surg path and help me answer my basic questions a couple of hours per week. I can cover the cost. PM me if you live in southern California. Thank you!🙂

This is too good to be true.
 
Don't the senior residents / fellows at your program help you? I've stayed after hours on occasion to babysit the junior residents. I didn't think it was that big of a deal, & I wasn't getting paid for it.

Im sure pathstudent would love to tutor a playmate. Just kidding.

It's really sad you dont have ppl helping you. I guess you have to explain your situation. Do you have teaching at signout? Are you allowed to handle your cases or are cases taken away from you and signed out by the attending?

Hold it, what?!

I will need a pic. If acceptable, I am available. My credentials include genius level IQ, diplomas from every top academic institution in the US and the fact that Stephen Hawkings stole his "A Brief History of Time" from my 3rd grade term paper.
 
Soooo..because I was a bit bored, finished signing out my entire caseload for all my businesses before 9:30am (slightly slow today), I decided to cruise the WWW and look at pics of residents...

Lo and behold, UCLA class photo for 2010. There are some SERIOUS hotties in there. Is this like this everywhere now?? Pathology used to be slim pickings. Could I sneak back into residency and pretend to a transferring PGY-2 or what?
 
Meh. They are all spider faces.

What does spider face mean?


But in any case let's face it medicine doesn't attract the alpha sexy females. They go into modeling or actressing or drug
Repping or hostessing. Not to say there are no hot chicks in medicine but let's face it if a girl is as hot as Megan fox or Natalie portman or Brooklyn decker or Erin Andrews and you are uber intelligent, you do not go into
pathology. You go into modeling actressing or sports reporting ad you will earn ten times as much money and hang out with infinitely cooler people.

Hit the bookstore and start reading.

Seriously, though, all the hot women that somehow choose medicine instead of flashing their pearly whites to win friends and influence people, flash their pearly whites and flip their hair into a cosmetic dermatology residency. The only hot women you're going to see in pathology aren't doctors, but play them on tv.

The older and fatter you get, the better the young women look.

We can work out a barter system on this one, no cash required. IYKWIM.

too true. and the better older women look.

But back to the tutoring thing high school kids pay $50 an hour for tutoring and that is for basic stuff like chemistry and algebra. How much would tutoring for something as advanced as surg path be, 200/hr? What resident could pay that? I would stick with reading text books, going to conferences, paying attention in sign-out and reading about your cases. You get paid to do that stuff rather than paying someone else.
