I am sorry to be a BITCH and put a scorpian in the silk sheets of our giant orgy of interview, career, and damn cash concerns here, but seriously, you are all brilliant scholars and scientists (take a bow ok...ok...ok...).
Now, originally everyone went to med school with a small pure will to do real human good --

selfless human good...

I am hoping that we all do not lose perspective of the big picture. No matter where you end up ... and it WILL be in the USA whether IMG or Harvard MD, and you will earn plenty ...75% of you more than 200k, think about the rest of the world now, so relax and live and enjoy and get a hold of the big picture again.. we are going to be docs... not only for us....

Nomatter what the hell you are driving on the way out of the hospital center lot whether in Boston, Baltimore, or bumble**** please do not leave until the patient is ready. Be conscious and goddamn careful, this is the specialty that operates as the gate b/t here and well... fu**ing dead. Not you first. No! First the patient.

Then you go and T off when the job is done...completely... perfectly.

Sorry to be a pain in the ass I am just worried about the culture here.... 😳

Well, I dont think u need to worry about us.

Right now, we're applying for residencies and just trying to aim to be the best doctors we can be (i.e. get the best training we can acheive. . .yes. . .to help save patients lives. . .SURPRISE!!!).

If all we cared for was the money and the "teeing off", we wouldn't care about getting into harvard, penn, or hopkins to bust our butts for 4 years. Small-town community general would do just fine for that.

So yeah. . .calm down. 😎

As for the cash concerns, right now we are students who are basically below the poverty line. Personally, I am worried about actually having enough money to pay for all the interviews/travel/away rotations. Depending on the number of interviews, this process can cost anywhere from $1000 to $5000 if not more. This doesn't include the $2000 we've shelled out for the USMLE step 2, as well as the $$$$ to submit our applications through ERAS (for me it was $300). I have less than this in the bank! I'm gonna be in a huge negative cash balance in a matter of months. When I start residency, I'm going to have to be paying back my HUGE loans, not only from med school, but from UNDERGRAD too. Most fellow classmates are facing the same predicament. (No, not all med students are heirs to large wealth).

Damn right, like all the other 4th years here, I'm worried about money. I'm worried about making it through the next couple of years being able to pay my utility bills and rent and not ending up on the street.

Lets see.... after sacrificing my twenties to learn my trade, busting my ass in a private practice for years so I could pay off my 200k in student loan debt, hours away from my family, getting called at 2am to take care of a drunk driver who has no insurance and wont pay his anesthesia bill SO MANY TIMES I CANT RECALL THE ACTUAL NUMBER, continued night call that makes one old before his time, and an innately stressful profession that I continue to persue, heres my answer to your ridiculous post, Slim.

Take your patronizing bull s h i t elsewhere. I take great pride in delivering optimal patient care.

We don't need a moral proctor to do our job. We're gonna do it, and do it well, even without your "priestly" reminders.

Go find a lawyer forum if you wanna do some moral good.

Dissociative Identity Disorder
Formerly Multiple Personality Disorder



Category
Dissociative Disorders

Etiology:

DID is associated with severe psychological stress in childhood, most often ritualistic sexual or physical abuse.



Symptoms

The primary characteristic of this disorder is the existence of more than one distinct identity or personality within the same individual. The identities will ‘take control’ of the person at different times, with important information about the other identities out of conscious awareness.



Treatment

Treatment is difficult for a variety of reasons, including secrecy on the client’s part (unlike the misrepresentation in the media), making him or her reluctant to seek help, and the difficulty in diagnosing the disorder once the client presents. Typically, an individual with DID will require many years of treatment.



Prognosis

Because the disorder is longstanding, it can be very difficult to treat. Often individuals have numerous ‘ups and downs’ in treatment. Overall, however, extensive work with an experienced therapist can greatly enhance this prognosis.

Sounds more like a college freshman who just discovered weed to me. We all bust our butts to give great patient care, and that is what got us to this point in life.
We do this to take care of pts who are often ungratefull, disrepectfull, and have no intention of paying for our huge investment in time, money, family, friends, sanity and youth. Many of these people have never lifted a hand in their entire life to do anything for anyone or society in general.
SO...come back when you (or any of your other personalities) have developed some perspective on medicine, in the meantime take your advice and shove it up your multipersonality havin' ass.

I hate to say this, but sounds like a bitter C-R-N-A.

The other day I was standing with a CRNA after helping her get the patient cruising, and the attending surgeon and the CRNA just started ripping on anesthesiologists. The surgeon told this "anecdote" about one specifically, and then they just let it fly, generally. It was so lame.

This is not to say that all CRNAs are like this. I've had the privilege of working with some awesome, sweet CRNAs, who are excited to teach any student, and practice with no chip on their shoulder, and often happen to be the most experienced CRNAs in the field.

That was kind of a misstep, Chica. Recanting an experience like that on this board will induce hostile fire. My advice is to hold fire on controversial issues/situations until fired upon.
