Eating in clerkship
Arztin replied to Egg_McMuffin's topic in Clerkship Rotations and Electives (Med 3 and 4)
Take your time to eat a full meal every single day. It's very important. It might happen sometimes that it's very busy, and you eat much later, but still, do eat. If your attending forgot about it, just ask. -

Yes, there are people who did it just because they had the grades and weren't really passionate about it. Among those people, some people who left at some point during their training. I saw some really unhappy people, both trainees and attendings. There was a story of an attending who hated his job, but kept doing it because of the money. Sure there are perks, but don't ignore the drawbacks. Keep in mind that the training is pretty intense. You need to drink from a fire hose during preclerkship, and the hours aren't always great during clinical training afterwards. It's al

Not happy in medicine.. Not sure what to do?
Arztin replied to medicine200000's topic in Medical Student General Discussions
Hey there, you only started clerkship. As others have already mentioned, it gets better. Trust me, it really does. It's normal to discover that you dislike something and actually really like something else. Give yourself some time. You might fall in love with a field that you thought you'd hate within a few months. Also, it's perfectly OK to not like internal medicine. It doesn't mean you don't fit in medicine because of that. Many people aren't fond of CTU internal medicine. Keep in mind that academic centers are quite different from community settings. Also, pretty much any m -

Hey there. There is no perfect answer for this. Medical training is harsh enough, and stressful enough. If you impose yourself a super strict budget, you will be even more stressed out. Obviously, nobody's in the same situation but do consider the following: How much are you comfortable with debt? What kind of spender are you? - How much debt do you have at the beginning of med school? Do you have any sort of assistance? Also, remember your electives and interviews in your final year will be pretty expensive. As 1D7 said, do think about what happens

Hey there I would say that a lot of what you said is partially true. It's true that managing chronic conditions might seem boring. However, that can be a very good sign. e.g. your diabetic and hypertensive patient has never been admitted to the hospital for a massive STEMI since his diabetes and hypertension are well managed ? Well that's certainly a good sign. Plus you managed to help them quit smoking? even better! The bread and butter of most fields is repetitive. The nephrologist who follows CKD, well there aren't any magical therapy in that regard. The cardiologist who foll

Couple of questions about Emergency Medicine
Arztin replied to Aurelius's topic in Primary Care Residencies
1- It depends where you work. Areas where there aren't enough family docs will more often have this problem. To name a few, people do show up for prescription refills, chronic things for which the ED isn't the place, for severe undertreated hypertension, and really benign stuff sometimes like a wart on their foot. Yes people do show up with chronic pain, including chronic back pain. Yes there are healthy 20 year old adults who go to the ED when they have a common cold. Variety-wise I totally disagree. There isn't a place where you will see presentations as varied as in the ED. You never k -
Non tu ne peux pas. Le curriculum est fait tel que tel. Les stages ne peuvent pas être raccourcis.

Family doctors are doing all sort of things right now. Many do ER. Many manage patients in nursing homes. Telehealth is actually very important. Many anxious patients are decompensating. Also, being able to talk to your patients will prevent ED visits. Then, there are the hospitalists doing COVID units as well. Some do COVID clinics / COVID screening clinics. There are also people doing public health.

Good luck everyone! Also, stay home!!!!
