The Return of the King --- thanks so much for you step 2 videos, I feel like a friend is helping me through the rotation and I've honored some with your help wishing you the best
Hey Doc! Been watching your vids through my third year of medical school! Your high yield videos were key on the shelf exams! I was wondering were you ended up matching into? Congrats man!
On the spot pearls for interns and residents! I just remembered myself when I was an intern that seems lost in the first few months.. residency is a learning training ground!! If you don’t know one thing it’s better to ask your senior resident.. first thing is “ do no harm” and use your “common sense”…
How about giving detailed specific guidance concerning Step 3 preparation, since you are at that point in testing yourself. Strstegies for those who have recently taken Step 2 and strategies for those who have taken Step 2 some time ago. You are the expert, you are THE MAN, who knows how it's done. Please share those intelligent insights with us.
Cool video and true points. I recall during my PGY1 year (circa 30 years ago) being matched with PGY2 problem children. I recall one PG2 asking me to write an aminoglycoside order on a patient with significantly impaired renal function and when I tried discussing the option of aztreonam she tried to stab me with her pen chasing me down the corridor. I literally had to run. Yet another PG2 would show up to a crashing floor patient but not stay to supervise eval and treatment. I met with our chief resident asking him why they team me up with such residents. I was astounded at what he said. "We know you can function on your own so take it as a compliment" Years of sleepless servitude that when I look back on was a great experience. Do they still use the "Scut Monkey" book?
Im 1 month into intern year and I keep making mistakes..my seniors are getting irritated specfically the chief who i think just hates me. my mistakes arent big...or maybe in their eyes, but i was late for a surgery, I filled out the tracking form wrong, they say i dont reach out to them which im working on I guess its because the chief seems intimidating, but i need to get over that, yeah just not feeling to hot right now.
That is a hard question to answer, each program has its unique strengths and weaknesses the best way is to look at the program website and look at their rotations, and ask specific questions during interviews for things you are looking for in your training

Wow what a crazy story. Sounds like straight out of a book or movie haha. I haven't heard of the Scut Monkey book. What specialty did you end up in?
Should you tell your trainers that you're nervous or should you fake it til you make it?
Here because of @Sean Darmal's video!
thanks I will check it out!
Just gold, thanks!!!

I'VE MISSED YOU!
You mentioned an app to get doses? What did you say the name was? Aproca?.
Epocrates
What community-based teaching hospitals training look like? For general surgery?
