    They are in emergency medicine, I guess getting burned out... came up with the idea due to multiple non-dermatologists/plastic with successful businesses in random little towns in TX. I don't know any other details, but was just tying to get him some basic info on education and pitfalls of...

    Decahedron OD?

    I'm working at a FRED and an RN anciently gave 30 mg of decadron instead of 10 mg. I haven't been able to find a toxic dose for the medication. Does anyone in the tox world know if a one time dose of Decadron 30 mg IM, would cause any life threatening problems in an otherwise healthy patient...

    Best EM Residencies?

    Cyanide, you have no idea what you're talking about. There is no list of best programs that is universal for everyone. I rotated at one of your so called elite programs when I was a 4th year and have colleagues at other programs. Some elite programs can be considered a piss poor residency...

    Job prospect in tx...I thought the pay would be better

    Partnership allows you to buy into the company and you get quarterly earnings, but no standard increase in salary. BTW heard from a TX insider this company is not honest about their "partnership" track. It reportedly has a bad rep for not delivering on pay, location and partnership...

    Selfies.

    Everyone needs to make an honest attempt at resisting the urge at being closed minded, uptight and judge mental. Don't take yourself so seriously. Who cares if someone wants to take a selfie!? You don't have to love it, or look at it; just relax and accept our differences. Some of us are...

    Job prospect in tx...I thought the pay would be better

    I recently spoke with a recruiter that is hired on to recruit for one specific company, very different than your typical recruiter who is pimping you out to several for a nice commission check. Also, let me say that I went into EM for several reasons and am not money hungry. Anyhow, this job...

    Selfies.

    Oh come on! "Passer-by" photos are notorious for being generally bad pics. Besides, using a selfie stick is considerate. I know I don't want to be bothered with taking photos of strangers while on vacation!

    Selfies.

    I propose a selfie stick on a belt. This could significantly reduce distractions from holding the phone AND more natural(if they exist) selfies would be captured. Who's with me?!:clap: Seriously though, non-ed selfies with a selfie stick are money when you're on vacation.

    geriatric EM fellowship-useful?

    I've recently been contemplating going into geriatric fellowship, primarily due to the concern that we will be inundated with "baby boomers" in the ED...in fact it seems there are already centennials appearing more often than not in the ED. I'm considering community medicine and maybe...

    2012-2013 Rank Order List Power Score and Compilation Thread

    I have to say, the list did a great job at qualifying some of the more competitive programs out there. Not to say that these are better programs than others with a weaker "power score", however the programs in the range of 3 to low 4s have historically been more difficult to land an interview at...

    4th year-- SubI vs CK

    Agree with most posts. I took 6 weeks for step 2 and ended up peaking at the end of week 3. My world q bank score went from 80% after 3rd week to 65-70% at best by the end of week 5. I was worried about scheduling it too soon and not being ready, but if your finishing up on medicine, things...
