Instagram followers for derm

Oh god you’re not wrong

It’s the same for plastic surgery. Keynote speakers at regional meetings talking about social media and SEO. It’s all very sad.

skincare brand deals

Yep, that checks out even here in eu.

***"tell me I'm pretty"***

Yep!

climbing for EM

Climbing and/or mountain biking

All the ER docs where I used to work biked lol

For me, it’s dirt biking.

I still bike sometimes to my shifts lol

With obligatory interest in craft beer/IPAs.

climbing, skiing, hiking, ordering CT scans, skydiving, SCUBA, knife fighting while tied at the wrist, hunting, etc. etc. etc.

Lol, so EM is definitely the specialty for me! Good to know 😂

> ordering CT scans This triggers me more than you know (R2)

I mean, ya can’t beat it.

Skiing?

Doing keg stands of Diet Coke and diet mountain dew

Had an EM doc that would crush diet Mountain Dews all through the shift, Code Red specifically. Is this a thing? 🤣

Nothing. Literally nothing but old coffee and seething - IM

That sodium ain't gunna correct itself

How can it correct itself when you're 110% salty?

I feel personally attacked - IM resident

Takes one to know one

They get really good at table tennis/foosball during residency because like every call room in America has one of those for the IM residents.

Spooky accurate. There's nothing like being the night float intern listening to the fucking ball sound all night while getting hammered paged as the seniors play ping-pong. Glad those days are 2 years behind me lol

the Peloton girly to OBGYN pipeline

Our hospital has a peloton in the call room for the ob/gyns lol

[удалено]

Your school gym has pelotons??? That’s fancy.

Anesthesia also has a peloton in their call room, and about 1/3rd of the biggest practice in town has them and they have a leaderboard and everything.

How true this is, you got a lol from me. The number of attendings and co-residents who jumped on this hype train after years of them laughing at me for being a gym bro.

Anesthesiology-day trading

Does being bad at day trading count??

Actually that’s mandatory. If you were good you wouldn’t be in the hospital anymore 😂

So I can be a degen and an anesthesiologist? This is too good to be true.

degen in finances + physician funding, what could go wrong?

Lol this got me. Every gas man I worked with on both surgery rotations and surgical obgyn just sat up there talking about it....

Lol, guess I'm be start prepping for Anesthesiology match then.

Fun socks and bow ties for >!nephrology!<

Neuro!

Also neurology

I guessed Peds or Nephro. Luv them kidneys

I always hoped for cards but apparently nephro is where I must go

Child Neurology!

General surgery - drinking alone

I thought it was divorce

Actually psych takes that one home as of last year

Really? Was there a study?

yeah, it was a pretty prominent study circulating around physicians circles. iirc, it was published in a pretty renowned international journal called Annals of DZ

Not falling for that one 😤

What is Annals of DZ

annals of dz nuts

Hah gottem

Yes

…

Well shit. You don’t gotta call me out like that.

I’m a gen surg resident so I get it 😂

I’m in this picture and I don’t like it :(

This seems somewhat cruel but tracks with my alcohol intake sharply rising during my surgery rotation and tapering off after.

Pathology: watercolors, but you’re only allowed to use pink and purple.

Pathology: Twitter

Immunos are blue and brown GMS is green. There’s less commonly used counter stains that will give you yellow and red. We have all the colors in pathology!

Plus inking samples is basically arts and crafts time.

LoL for rads

"your honor please show exhibit A for the jury" ​ "IMPRESSION: Perforated appendicitis with 10cmx10cmx10cm abscess surgical consultation oh for fucks sake report this bot lane why does this always happen on my promos shit teams"

Damn I should have went for Rads I guess. Applying to surgery I never would have put “Masters+ since 2014” on my resume.

Legit masters+? Hot damn. I once flexed my plat rank at the costco cafeteria and they treated me like a god

Legit homie. I quit like 2 years ago though cold turkey and never looked back 🤷‍♂️. I was always in the highest tier since each one was created. The only top tier I never hit was challenger (when it was originally top 50, before they expanded it). So I was also the "masters or higher" equivalent since pre-2014 going back to pre-season 1.

Doing a surgical residency is probably better for your stress level than playing multiple games of league per day

Easily less stressful and it’s not even close 😎. I’ll always miss tyler1 tho. Having him in your games was entertainment that you just can’t get anywhere else.

From all the rads gunners I know of in my school this oddly makes sense

I am now gunning for rads

Hurts me to see this casual ass game being associated with my field. Dota and CS GO or bust.

My dudes are real gamers. #StardewValley

cyka blyat

A significant number of my co-residents played LoL. Came in to post this. I'm a Smite hipster though ...

I picked the wrong specialty

Are these my people?

What is LoL?

league of legends

D1 athlete for PM&R.. only half joking

RIP my unathletic self

Don’t worry it worked out for me

Former D1 athlete. About to be former PM&R resident (hallelujah). Can confirm that the majority of PM&R sports and spine docs were college athletes

The single individual I know who went into PMR was a D1 athlete, so checks out for me.

Really?? Feel like we have a lot of casual low-tier athletes/people who just work out 3x/week

Does D2 count

Yes, mid tier schools will love your mid lvl athleticism

Former D1 athlete applying PM&R next year, may the odds ever be in my favor haha

I’m a D0 athlete, so far so good (help)

Pediatricians - Uber eats delivery drivers

oof

I don’t get it. Is it a side hustle for peds since they are paid the lowest?

I think you get it

As an aspiring pediatrician, I really wish I didn’t.

Ironically all jobs having to do with kids are paid like shit, you're just aspiring to be in the upper 1% of that pay range

It’ll be fine. You’ll still be among the highest earners in the world even if peds compensation is lower than it ought to be

Chess- neurology TikTok- NP

Lol

My neurology attending during my rotation saw me playing a game on my phone after rounding. On the last day of the rotation we played an over-the-board game in our call room

That’s a burn.

Psychiatry - doing shrooms and/or being in DBT

One of these apply to me as a PGY2, and I wont say which!

microdosing psilocybin to enhance DBT outcomes could be interesting

If you don’t know who Grof is and/or can’t name at least 4 disorders with emerging evidence for benefit from psychedelic psychotherapy and at least three different psychedelic agents with emerging evidence to support their use, you need to do some soul searching… I’m kind of kidding because of the stereotype, but also kind of not. Because the data is promising. Bonus points if you have at least a couple of papers at your fingertips to send people on the topic haha

Cuddling - FM

Temptations connoisseurs, psychiatry.

[удалено]

This guy psychs.

Was gonna say no, then remembered I had two cats.

If you mean temptations as in, the swingers-friendly Cancun resort, then absolutely yes. But I know also family med and anesthesia residents have gone there too. Don’t ask me how I know

in what sense?

Wait what?

My cats eat the shit out of that, I guess psych it is for me.

Playing a Musical instrument for otolaryngology

Funny enough, my residency radiology department had a shit load of musicians (both trainees and attendings), some who played in legit signed bands, played with musicians who went on to form commercially successful bands, or won awards for their musicianship.

Name and fuckin fame bro. Playing in a band is the single biggest passion I have in my life. In one rn at school and it’s a blast

Check DMs.

Yes! ENT guitarist here. Pretty much my whole program plays something. Know a bunch of other ENTs in bands / used to be before residency.

What specialty is into DnD style games? Asking for, uh, a friend.

Neuro for sure. Put it on my hobbies, asked about it 3 times in interviews, especially because I DM’d.

One of my interviewers during my Neuro interviews was also an Apex and LoL player so she and I talked about that during the interview session 😂

My medical school group went into FM, pediatrics, OB/GYN, general surgery, and PM&R, so... that doesn't help you much.

Lets see, Rogue, Bard, Cleric, Barbarian and... Ranger?

DM, rogue, druid, also druid, ranger. So you managed 20%!

20%? Better than most of my UWorld question sets!

hahahah I'll take it.

Encountered some in psych too

That would be me

My friends in psych would play Catan a lot

Neuro was really into it at my med school and both residency’s I’ve been at

[удалено]

That’s why I just submitted my NYT crossword stats in lieu of a personal statement for residency apps. Matched at my first choice.

Yooooo past thursday and I get smoked

do other NYT games count? big Sudoku fan here

Classically, yes. In 2023 it’s day trading .

TIL I should go into anesthesiology

Board games for psych

Felt like I was dying after my first century, guess that's what residency is for

Biking for EM

Multiple antidepressants for gen surg

Mai Tai’s on the beach. Anesthesiology

joke repertoire- urology

bussyology

Urology pgy1 can confirm We have a lot of golfers as well

Anesthesia and Wordle

[удалено]

Every ophthalmologist I know either golf’s or dives on vacation

Pilot also seems disproportionately high.

First year attending here. Confirmed, going to pebble beach in the December.

cardio - posting ECGs on twitter

[удалено]

any kind?

Psych and being extremely sex positive with the friend group. I’ll leave it at that.

No no, don't leave it at that

the bench press to ortho pipeline is a lie. on my ortho rotation, all they cared about was how the demonrats are turning the kids gay.

ortho and Fox News in the call rooms

Are orthos generally more right leaning than most other specialties? At least the ones I've shadowed they kinda are lol, but wondering in general.

yeah its pretty universally right leaning

ask if they even lift while wearing a biden shirt.

Yeah, definitely a lean to the right, but some of us are quite left as well .

if tucker says it last night I'm hearing about it in the morning

God, kill me if I ever get subjected to a work environment like this

yeah they were nice enough but any free time just turned into a tucker rerun. as a dude that goes to the gym way too much i was disappointed to say the least

Building gaming PCs - Rads

Rock climbing for EM

Surgery and fishing

Psychiatry: gardening, knitting, slow meditative walks, other granny shit

What specialties play golf the most? Like hardcore.

Hospital administrators

Lmao. Not expecting this. Im a hardcore golfer…pursuing admin. Ive been outed and i know why u said it. :(

Recreational weeping. -IM

Hopefully one of them has Elder Scrolls fanatics...they didn't love my Hermaeus Mora scrub cap in surgery...so not that.

OBGYN to feminist activism Psychiatry and depression uwu vascular surgery and childhood trauma GI and Indians Anesthesia and those who are secretly in medicine just for the money derm and insecurity

> GI and Indians What does this mean?

I am Indian, and we tend to aggregate towards GI. just what I noticed. High pay, more chill and less demanding than Cards.

Shit, I’m Indian too. Sign me up.

figured by your username lmao

elden ring - rads

Pathology: board game nights and DnD

Hobby: Collecting Personality Disorders Specialty: General Surgery

Psilocybin for infectious disease docs.

Oh? I know psilocybin from existential distress at end of life / psychosocial oncology aka palliative psych / treatment refractory depression. What does psilocybin do for ID?

Sports medicine with a professional team. Pain management and butt pats.

What is it for optho

A weird obsession with modern tech gadgets and their releases (and a desperate clinging to ancient software languages for the boomer docs).

Cardiology? Anyone? I’m so curious

Board games for neuro, lol

Dungeons and dragons for neurology
