Why is PM&R easy to match especially if it's dubbed Plenty O Money and Relaxation?

If you want to be an anesthesiologist I would stop saying MDA. Its obvious you are either a nurse or you are very close to someone who is, as this is propaganda promoted by the aana in an attempt to blur the lines between physician anesthesiologist and nurse anesthetists. Moreover, if you say that as a med student it would supremely piss of any anesthesiologist you would be working with. They aren't ****ing MDAs. They are an MD or a DO and a ****ing physician, not some nurse made title.

Thanks for the advice, but I know how to talk to people in real life. I have enough experience to know how to refer to people. I'm typing on my phone and chose to use an abbreviation. Sorry you didn't like it, but you don't have to get butt hurt over it. No offense was meant.

But, the thing you don't see, as a pre-med, is what the anesthesiologist is doing in the other rooms. The nurse sits there and charts vitals q5. Anything out of the ordinary happens the anesthesiologist is the one that gets **** done.

Actually, since I worked in an OR for 8 years, I have a pretty good idea. At least from an East Coast perspective, that is. I've been on quite a few cases where **** went south and the doc came in to take over, or the case was complex enough that a doc did the whole case start to finish.

Wasn't disputing your navy knowledge my good man/ sir. Was simply stating in other branches that this isn't the case. The navy sucks hard if youre a doc.

Meh. Most of the docs I know seem to like it well enough. The ones that hate it seem to be the ones who had unrealistic expectations (eg, matching rads straight through without a GMO tour or two).

It has 0 to do with how I feel and everything to do with the abbreviation you used and what it is meant to convey: that is what is passing over your head. If you want to be a physician act like one. You want to be a nurse, use their abbreviations: words mean things.

It's not passing over my head. I'm just not that militant about it, and I don't need to start "acting" like anything, but thanks again for the unsolicited advice.

I'm not butt hurt at all, broseph. I was simply correcting your inappropriate nurse speak so that when other pre-meds read that crap they don't think mda is a common reference to a physician who is an anesthesiologist. It is isn't acceptable in medicine and among physicians. Period.

Your overly aggressive responses (e.g., using pet names to put me in my place--lol at that btw) and attempts at jocular intimidation say otherwise. You can "correct" it all you like without the dick waving. It's not flattering or impressive.

The one ED doctor I discussed this with (who did his residency in New York) stated "PM&R doesn't actually do anything... and it appeared to be very popular among Korean physicians". Take that as you will.

Such emotions. I wonder how many people do not get accepted because their Facebook is checked...

Probably about 0.

To be honest, OMM/OMT will impress my family. I can see why PM&R would be popular.
