Members do not see this ad.

But should it be a cream or a lotion?

Neither, Ointment!




I'm kidding of course. I have tremendous respect for the complex pathophysiology involved in dermatology.

There's also antifungals 😉

(And biologics, calcineurin inhibitors, calcitriol, light therapy, and a few others)

Cyclosporine, mycophenolate, azathioprine, carmustine, bleomycin, biologics, methotrexate, cyclophosphamide, dapsone, hydroxychloroqine, IVIg, doxorubicin, interferon, BRAF inhibitors, MEK inhibitors, PD1-inhibitors, anti-CTLA4 drugs, EGFRIs, etc . . .

I do agree with the results of the poll so far. Path, Rads, and Derm for sure. Part of the issue is that they are all fields that are hardly touched on at all during routine medical education. Why should I have to know every systemic manifestation of Riley-Day Syndrome simply because one of the findings include lack of lingual papillae? Beats me, but that's what boards require of me.

Every field has their knowledge base
We are all valuable in some way
Let's unite against the admin who know nothing and steal from us

Ultimately, this is one of the better answers. Rather than reveling in/being proud of an inability to understand or appreciate other specialties, we should all understand that the various fields all have important roles. Medicine in general is weakened by the at time adversarial nature between specialties (even if just in jest) - the suits watch us all devour each other while they continue to churn out profits.
