Posted by MS3NavyFS2B: I would suggest to allow the forum to maintain and discuss AA, CRNA, MDA issues freely. It's important for all to know as much as possible about each other, and be able to discuss differences as they arise. If people don't want to read them, no one is pushing their mouse...

Inspection of your previous posts severely contradicts this openness to discussion and understanding?

Thanks Lee and thanks SDN community.
Good luck with interviews guys and have fun with them!

If we all stated who we were and where we are in the game at the end of our post (ie, MS3, PGY-1, CA-3, Attending-academic/private) it would enable people to see where someone is coming form and their credibility in making that statement.
To often, i have read a long series of posts and suddenly realized that NONE of them are posted by people in the "real world" (ie, attendings, practicing CRNAs in private practice). Even senior residents in academic hospitals rarely post, with some much-loved and appreciated exceptions.
A bunch of med students and others who have NO REAL IDEA of what's out there except limited annecdotal and secondhand experience tend to dominate and dilute these discussions.
2 sentences from an private practice attending mean much more to me than 5 paragraphs from a student.
-PGY-1 now, CA-1 in June
MS3NavyFS2B said:I agree. Medical student must be living in the fake world, the parallel universe, the surreal real. It sure feels that way post-call after being awake for 27 hours straight. Boy, I hope the "real world" (wherever it is) is better than this.
How many sentences would academic attendings need to post to mean something to you relative to private practice attendings?
-MS3, third-year medical student, MSIII, medical student 3, MS4 in May, Intern in June 2006, CA-1 in June 2007, MDA in June 2010, retirement in June 2040
