I’m in the process of buying disability insurance and was given several Own-Occupation quotes from the top insurance companies from a disability agent representative. I appreciate any and all advice how other residents navigated which factors were most important in ultimately deciding the best insurance policy for them. Thank you in advance 🙏🏻

Seriously I feel like if you say anything that might be positive/hopeful/optimistic you get berated for jinxing. Something as benign as hoping for a quiet night is dismissed as putting out bad jujus.

I keep hearing about specialties fizzling out (ie. rad onc, radiology (replaced by AI), etc. etc.) so I’m curious on the history of what actual specialties are not practiced anymore.

What are the odds I’ll find the one via PerfectServe (paging system app)??

I’m doing the ccs cases and order abx willy nilly but it doesn’t seem to take off points, wondering if that will be the same for the real exam.

Thnx !!

Does a dermatologist doing Moh’s surgery make him/her a surgeon?

Proceduralist (interventional cards, IR, pulmonologist, etc.) vs surgeon (ophthalmologist) ?

Wondering what constitutes someone calling him/herself a surgeon. Is it treating diseases through incisions? Thanks!!

My reflex question is “hi how are you!?” but I know that can come off bad especially if they respond with “how do you think I’m doing I’m at the hospital”

…so yeah trying to avoid that.

What’s the significant for the “C” in their degrees but not physicians?

What would you do if you, for example, wanted vascular surgery as your #1 choice but if you didn't get that you would rank urology as your #2 specialty? Could that scenario even work if uro matches over a month early?

*sorry for this random post just bored until matching lmao*

I can email my top program saying they’re my #1 but I’m wondering the reasoning why they can’t confirm that.

30 mins: PD talks about program

15mins X 4 interviewers

30mins : talk with residents
