you'll get more out of assisting in operations if you do #M3Tips
@KittKlaiss #m3tips in the same vein, if you didn't write it, you didn't do it. Document everything,

@academicobgyn Think of every rotation as the first 6 weeks of the rest of your life in that field.
#m3tips

authorised by doctors don't leave everything to the last minute!

@academicobgyn Medical school doesn't make you. It's only a learning environment. You are the
only one that can make you the doctor you want to B #m3tips

media can achieve towards medical education: #M1Tips #M3Tips

@GGo_oGG RT @ohsuneuro: #M3Tips if u don't know the answer when resident attending asks
a ? Say, 'I don't know.' If u keep talking, it will be apparent anyway.
@ohsuneuro #M3Tips Best way to learn medicine is to pick 1-2 things from each pt and look it up.
Info sticks better when attached to pts.
@silv24 #M1tips #M3tips Teach! Teach your colleagues and continue to do so & never forget to
teach your patients so they can make informed decisions
@Doclectic #m1tips #m3tips I went public account for this chat, then will go back in hiding :)
@academicobgyn Don't sweat it when a patient gives your attending a different history than you
got. It isn't you. Histories always change #m3tips

@bungeechump #M1Tips #M3Tips Even the most esteemed neurosurgeon was in your position

@bungeechump #M3Tips One of the easiest quick cures is a foley catheter in acute urinary
retention. Practice practice! Your patient will thank you!
@academicobgyn 3 kinds of students: mice, cowboys, and loose cannons. Cowboys get honors and
learn the most. Mice get ignored and learn least. #m3tips

@academicobgyn #m3tips 10% teachers offer procedures. 10% deny you when you ask. 80% wait

@Geek2Nurse OTOH,@doclectic, if you don't, maybe you aren't cut out to be a doc. Empathy
hurts, but is so crucial. #M3tips #M1tips
@raphaelmalikian @ohsuneuro so true, sometimes "I don't know" is actually the right answer, and
the attending responds "well, we don't know either!" #M3tips

@silv24 #M1tips #M3tips medicine is a vocation not just a profession. Enjoy it, accept the bad
times & realise you are doing this for the patients
@bungeechump #M31Tips #M3Tips Pay attention to your significant other. It's very easy to nearly
lose them during your final exams. Trust me.
@lakdawala0 #M3Tips keep a granola bar in your white coat. on some rotations you dont know
when youll eat next. helps avoid passing out in OR
@silv24 #M1tips #M3tips take care of yourself, eat well, get a good nights sleep (whenever you
can) and take time for yourself. Keep your sanity!!
@bungeechump #M3Tips Learn to enjoy the serenity of the world at night. You will spend a lot
your time awake during it so it's nice to be zen about it.

@raphaelmalikian #M1tips #m3tips things can get pretty intense & you'll be working hard. it's easy
to forget to take pills... Maybe consider IUS / Implanon
@bungeechump #M3Tips Dont take anything personally. Try to learn from the situation instead of
being offended.
@hackinmage #m3tips my way of making life easier, ALWAYS become friends with the #nurses
too many benefits to list, you learn more & look good on rounds
@Doclectic #m1tips #m3tips Depression is common in med students. and docs. No shame in it.
Most schools have psych w dont teach/eval to help u.
@raphaelmalikian #M3tips SHOES! get some really comfortable smart looking shoes! More than
one pair, you're gonna need them!
@Doclectic #m3tips #m1tips Its ok if some days you want to cry. Doesn't mean you aren't cut out
to be a doc just means U are a person.
@Doclectic #m3tips Ask where pts get their meds. If they go to Walmart your plan better incl drug
on Walmart plan. I have memorized that list by now.
@raphaelmalikian @silv24 @bungeechump really good idea, maybe tomorow we can run a search
for #m1tips and #m3tips, have them and tidy them up at a later date
@raphaelmalikian #M3tips get a BLACK ballpoint pen, at least 2 on you at all times! Fountain pen
- go though carbon copy paper; blue no good for copying!
@Doclectic #m3tips always have something on U to study (I loved recall in my white coat pocket).
Lots of waiting for attngs.
@Doclectic #m3tips Don't say FLK, drug seeker, GOMER, refer to pts weight, etc even if residents
do. U look bad and jaded at a young age. Plus its rude
@Doclectic @DrOBcookie #m3tips USEFUL task: calling outpatient pharmacy to see what meds
pt is REALLY taking (if fill scrips) OR call for records
@bungeechump #M3Tips The clinical years can be a tough time. But looking back after finishing
them, I wouldn't change a thing. Even with the bad times.

patients. Remember the 3 S's: Keep it short & simple, stupid :-P
@Geek2Nurse If it won't hurt the patient and will teach an uppity babydoc a valuable lesson, we
might just let them crash & burn, @rlbates. ;) #M3tips

@silv24 #M3tips when asked how would manage a patient, "I would carry out assessment &
resuscitation of the patient according to ABCDE principles"
@silv24 #M3tips the "mum" test, would you treat your own mum/dad/relative in the same way you

@STUDENT_para_1 RT @bungeechump: #M3Tips Dementia patients are part of the deal. Try

@raphaelmalikian #M3Tips if you feel light headed while in the OR excuse yourself, go sit down
& have a soda. Don't feel bad, I know surgeons who passed out!
@DrJonathan #m3tips Go out of your way to make your residents,fellow students, and your
attending look good; they'll reciprocate & it improves pt. care

@DrOBcookie #M3Tips learn when to keep your mouth shut...but making jokes is ok too at the

@raphaelmalikian #M3Tips never make assumptions about or judge a patient by their appearance,
lifestyle or cultural background.
@DrOBcookie #M3Tips doing scut work is still ultimately taking care of the patient, nobody's too
big to f/u information, send a fax...or get coffee
@DrOBcookie the best #M3Tips I ever got from my fave surgery resident "eat when you can, sit
when you can, sleep when you can, and s%@# when you can"
@DrOBcookie #M3Tips read something every day about that patient you are taking care of, even if
it's for five minutes
@DrOBcookie #M3Tips go to the bar instead of the library when you can't take it anymore
@DrOBcookie #M3Tips find a hobby and do it even when you're tired. http://bit.ly/aEoi1p
@bungeechump #M3Tips Try not to become overwhelmed by human suffering. You're there to
learn, but you're also there to care.
@ross71521 #M3tips You will be in the way of a nurse. Always. Deal with it and excuse yourself
politely.
@silv24 #M3tips always turn up early and be nice to nurses etc on ward rounds and clinics, be nice
to everyone and they will help you out!

@cacason @doclectic re:rounds and talking: After first week of rotation, whats appropriate as far
as interacting with residents, attendings? #m3tips
@Doclectic @erinrbreedlove at least 1/3 of itme shld B spent on questions. Targets studying &
remember wht U get wrong #m1tips #m3tips
@drarps #m3tips Try not to carry your world in your white coat pockets. The basic essentials are
pens, reflex hammer and a flashlight.
@Doclectic #m3tips Have many white coats, keep one in your car at all times, they get dirty and
lose buttons. This keeps you looking fresh.
@bungeechump #M3Tips Dont touch anything blue in the OR. Don't descrub until you are told you
aren't needed.
@Doclectic #m3tips Delivering a baby will be a lifelong memory. Wear the knee high shoe covers.
Esp if its a C-section.
