I found it hard to replace the acuity or intensity in Surg Critical Care. Plus, with critical care foundation you can go annnnywhere. Seriously. You don't have to end up in a big urban area to make it work. I am at a level 1 trauma center university, but there are enough attendings in trauma/crit care that they do more like shift work in the ICU/ED--one week in unit, one week on floor....then some weeks off to do as they please. So, really, I think it has the potential to allow you to knit yogurt or whatever your heart desires. <br /><br />I think it sounds awesome!MDinKYhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05492452607713813645noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3138625163039637769.post-53956992639481612852011-09-25T14:28:42.916-06:002011-09-25T14:28:42.916-06:00Thanks Greg and Vince for the resource suggestions...Thanks Greg and Vince for the resource suggestions!<br /><br />Yes I subscribe to the EMcrit podcasts, I think it was one on abd pain that made me look like a champ the other day on rounds, actually...hahah.Albinoblackbearhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15222730484450544498noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3138625163039637769.post-15392090995785386662011-09-25T14:21:09.072-06:002011-09-25T14:21:09.072-06:00Ever listen to any of Scott Weingart's talks f...Ever listen to any of Scott Weingart's talks from EMCrit.org? I believe he studied as a surgical intensivist before settling down as a emergency department intensivist. Here's a short 6min spiel from him on critical care fellowships (http://freeemergencytalks.net/?p=6190). Enjoy, even though the 110 hr weeks at Baltimore Shock Trauma sound a bit intense...VinceDhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14882359489508540203noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3138625163039637769.post-17098989842681771752011-09-23T22:45:16.707-06:002011-09-23T22:45:16.707-06:00Take a look at:

Burn out has always been something in the back of my mind, especially concerning something physically demanding, like will my body hold up at 60 in the same manner it is now at 20-something. (I'm preparing to work that old because of the cost of education, haha!)Allisonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01957870218750281678noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3138625163039637769.post-46561758874968121632011-09-22T21:44:56.681-06:002011-09-22T21:44:56.681-06:00I trust that you will live your way into the answe...I trust that you will live your way into the answer. :-)PGYxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04326999545370162455noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3138625163039637769.post-1928206159979918002011-09-22T20:10:37.451-06:002011-09-22T20:10:37.451-06:00My supervisor for my gen surg rotation was a surgi...My supervisor for my gen surg rotation was a surgical intensivist, and he was - without a doubt - one of the smartest, most talented physicians I've ever met. <br /><br />Surgical intensive case interested me too, but I couldn't stand the surgical lifestyle (odd, I know; I like everything about gensx except the surgeries). <br /><br />It sounds like surgical intensivist is right up your alley, though. A lot of those guys do Trauma Team too, so that's something else that you can add to your repertoire.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3138625163039637769.post-5633378896010127792011-09-22T17:58:24.598-06:002011-09-22T17:58:24.598-06:00...so are they surgical intesivists who run the SI......so are they surgical intesivists who run the SICU? do they operate? do they get custom-issued balaclavas? ...so many questions ...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3138625163039637769.post-32418448667038229322011-09-22T16:54:39.546-06:002011-09-22T16:54:39.546-06:00Just curious, how does one knit yogurt?

Yes, you could do a trauma or critical care fellowship and that would be great. But you could also do something like general surgery or ortho and be able to work in those places as well.OMDGhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17937425894428802591noreply@blogger.com
