Me: Hi, I'm the med student
Patient (works in medicine): what are you going into?
Me: EM
Patient: So an ER nurse?
Me: no, a doctor
Patient: So are you applying to med school or PA school?
Me: I will be a doctor in 6 months
Patient: a doctor of...
Me: ...medicine 🤦♀️

I had a doctor say “watch this,” to a group of nurses and then say “repeated cases of angioedema can be caused by?” And we all in unison said “c1 esterase inhibitor deficiency” and then he said “see, they know tricks!”

Being a med student is weird because some doctors feel obligated to share EVERYTHING they’ve ever learned. So on a given Tuesday you’re like, “yes, I will review the indications for steroid use in septic shock and remember to get my partner to sign a prenup, thank you.”

Applying for residency in emergency medicine is the only choice in my life I have made with the complete certainty that it will one day lead me to a ropes course. It might be orientation, it might not be until I’m attending, but there is 100% a ropes course down this path.

I have strep pharyngitis from pediatrics (because of course). Despite having the worst sore throat of my life and a fever, my single biggest stress right now is if the new rotation I start tomorrow is going to be mad at me for missing the first day. Why is med school like this?

Last night on my way home from a 12 hour shift I was trapped on a frozen bridge for 6 hours with a dying phone, a bag of trail mix, and a quarter bottle of water. At one point I tuned in to a local radio station looking for an update, they were playing “jumper” by third eye blind

The days between taking NBME exams and NBOME exams are as close to purgatory as it gets. Just tiredly pushing on while being confronted by the sins of your past (questions you got wrong on step).

Resuscitation is “aggressive”, but nothing beats the feeling at 4am when you arrive to preround and find that the patient you left the night before intubated and sedated is now following commands. Medicine is hard, but the sweet moments are so sweet 🥲

One of the fun things about being a DO students is the camaraderie with other DO students. I love all of my colleagues, but when I walk into a room and there’s only a few other DO students, you better believe we are fast besties.

I worked with a surgeon that walked me through the perfect pizza, from making the dough to building your own pizza oven. Even had a wood preference. One day he came in and was like “ugh, ok, I should probably talk to you about a gallbladder or whatever 🙄”

Questions, questions, questions. I’d forgo a second pass of uworld in favor of Amboss and I would do NBME 10-14, UWSA 1 and 2, and the free120 to build your stamina.

I totally get being prepared for a rotation, but putting EM core in the fourth year makes it hard for students interested in EM to apply for away rotations before you even do EM. I’m doing EM as a third year elective and then EM as a fourth year core rotation.
