  1. Breast/axillary surgery, esophagectomies, rib plating are commonly done by general surgery . Also plenty of neck surgery. I did 22 thoracotomies in training, none with CT... I won't even count all the hiatal hernias/fundoplications, and few Heller's which all require being above the diaphragm.

  2. Melanomas, NSTIs, thyroids, parathyroids, trachs occurr outside those areas.

  3. Be very cautious about bringing children into this dynamic. 

  4. Agree. Having children won't solve this problem. Get marriage counseling.

  5. Whatever he wants, preferably not anything medical. Most people want normal things

  6. This has nothing to do with being premed. He clearly doesn't respect you. You should end this relationship yesterday. You're only 21, plenty of time to find somebody who respects you at a minimum.

  7. You guys this actually isn’t that funny. It’s a real life scenario. I wanted to see what you would do in the same position and you’re all making fun of the situation.

  8. Okay. Have you graduated from medical school? This guy clearly has no hope of survival. 0 percent. Ask dumb questions, expect dumb answers.

  9. If they ask me to pray for them, I say okay and actually do say a prayer. Won't hurt.

  10. Every case is different and honestly patients are different. Surgeon/proceduralist should make make decision though. I am vascular surgery fellow. Unless a mesenteric bypass or an open aneurysm repair, everyone gets regular diet when they wake up unless worried bout something. CEA, distal bypass get reg diet orders. Endo, regular diet.

  11. To make some drama, one of the other 3 guys need to eagle 13 and 15.

  12. Hard to say for sure. Combination of sepsis (which to this day has around a 40% death) and not enough debridement in the first case. It's not uncommon to need sequential debridement but there is usually source control.

  13. Luckily I'm q5, q5 weekends for my Vasc fellowship and it is still rough. More often than not we are here past 6 operating even when not on call. Still love it though!

  14. Just like cardiologist placing stents for PAD, cerebrovascular disease.

  15. Do you play basketball on a 8 ft hoop or baseball on a little league field? I think not. Why should golf be different? That's how I feel. Let me shoot 100 from the blues, I enjoy it.

  16. As long as you are keeping pace idc, you do you. But the fact is the vast majority of high handicap golfers trying to play beyond their means contribute to 5+ hour rounds.

  17. NTA. But IMO don't go to a teaching hospital then.

  18. I am like this resident. For whatever reason, I do a good job at not taking things personally. Never really bothered me getting "yelled" at. No different than all the sports I played. Under all that anger, there is usually a teaching point, so I try to focus on that.

  19. Depends on what you mean by comfy? I'm comfortable with US and CTs when I have a DC I'm looking for. Like look at an US in a pt with RUQ pain and tell if they have cholecystitis sure, but yeah miss the renal/liver path there may be there too. CTA CAP LE

  20. Are you sure the students had access to that on their phones? My school's hospital had Epic, and we had that as residents, but not as students.

  21. Downloading the app does not automatically give you access to the EHR. As in, you can’t just download it and put your log in. You have to be given access (usually there’s a form, or you call IT, or it gets done automatically in onboarding), and if the program doesn’t give students access they can’t bypass that

  22. All I had to do is have the server name, thats it. Nothing else required. Same for the students here. I guess different institutions could restrict access.

  23. Just curious, how many times have you applied?

  24. Dad and I have been doing it for 15 years as had my best friend. Nothing for any of us.

  25. Program specific but I think it's more student/trainee wanting to stay (at least in my fields gen surg + speciality). I have been at programs that don't need to rank a home student unless that student is good enough to be in the program. No problem with quality applicants.
