Kell Posted April 12, 2017 Share Posted April 12, 2017 Talk about SDN and their adolescent behavior from some. Look at this from that EM thread: Makati said, "Spot on. I had a pre-PA that worked in our ED acting so cocky it's sickening. I'm like I've been where you are going and if you think PA school is hard try medical school." Even though the person isn't a PA yet, still a pissing contest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure exactly what your meaning was here....but Makati is an experienced PA who has gone through Med school and, I believe, is a 2nd year resident now.

Ollivander Posted April 17, 2017 Share Posted April 17, 2017 I loved and still love SDN, however I rarely if ever ventured over to the MD/DO sectors. I was most active in the pre-dental subforum, which was beyond helpful and enlightening. When I did browse through the MD and DO subforums, it always seemed as if everyone was comparing dick sizes.

I try to be polite, present a reasonable perspective, and get shat on by a bunch of folks 20 years younger than I am. If anyone is looking for me over there, send them here. Thanks- done with physician in training A$$clowns. Made the mistake of going back again and posting. same thing. A bunch of doc wanna bees over there said they would never accept a consult from a specialty PA for any reason. Really done now.

sas5814 Posted November 24, 2021 Share Posted November 24, 2021 I have a simple response to that in the real world. "I'll notify the patient that you (mention by name) refused my referral. If they have a bad outcome because of delay in care I'll notify the medical board. I work at the VA which is, to say the least, an interesting place. There seems to be a lot of tiny kingdoms with petty tyrants. So if, for example, the pharmacy refuses to fill a prescription for a reason I don't agree with I document in the chart who denied the order. Then I tell the patient who, by name, wouldn't give them what I recommended. There is no hiding inside the computer. You make the call...you get the heat. I'll often give out office phone numbers too. Its a lot harder to do that sort of thing when you have to directly face the results. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even if they are on call, I will call docs I know or random docs in the phonebook to avoid consulting them or doing anything to send any income their way ever again. I will not mention their name to anyone ever. "Do you know this local doc?" " No, I use xyz instead. I have heard he/she is a much better surgeon..... "You don't play nice with me and you will not get that new BMW this year because someone else will repair those 10 hip fxs that happened when you were on call, you A$$clown. Ok, deep breath. Damn, I'm pissed. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PAtoMD Posted November 25, 2021 Share Posted November 25, 2021 Largely a lurker on there. Doesn't seem to worth trying to change minds or even conversate. Working on changing the minds of some of my classmates though. 2 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DelusionalEnthusiasm Posted December 1, 2021 Share Posted December 1, 2021 (edited) I’m surprised you lasted as long as you did. I gave up 10 years ago. Maybe you can change your handle and become that old bitter PA who goes on there just to troll them Edited December 1, 2021 by DelusionalEnthusiasm Added Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CAAdmission Posted December 7, 2021 Share Posted December 7, 2021 SDN? Are they still around? I would have though they would have collapsed under their own weight by now. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FiremedicMike Posted December 8, 2021 Share Posted December 8, 2021 My favorite part about SDN are the threads where the original poster writes that they are about to fail out of medical school or be fired from residency, which is almost universally followed up with dozens of posters exclaiming that doctors go through too much hardship to ever be fired from residency. That and the fact that literally EVERY thread can somehow devolve into APP bashing (and many of them do). OP: Hey guys, looking at new stethoscopes, thinking about the cardio 3, thoughts? Rabble #1: WHATS THE POINT, NURSE PRACTITIONERS ONLY GO THROUGH 5 MINUTES OF SCHOOL ON A CEREAL BOX AND THEY CARRY STETHOSCOPES Rabble #2: YEAH THEY CAN’T EVEN PASS A PHYSICS FINAL EXAM, PATHETIC It’s amazing how they get there and the directions they take it.. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
