Plan on heading down to the game tomorrow with a few graduate school friends of mine that have not watched City before. What is the best way to buy tickets on game day? I usually buy from Seatgeek, but are prices better at the ticket office right outside the stadium?
I'm an MD student in the US and I am having a hard time deciding between neurology or anesthesiology. I'm involved in both the anesthesia and neurology departments and have mentors in both, but I honestly can't seem to make up my mind. Would appreciate some advice.
Neurology:
(+) Enjoyed preclinical neurology (liked localization, neuromuscular, vascular and neuroanatomy)
(+) Enjoyed inpatient consult service during my rotation
(+) Love the geographical flexibility and job security (any concerns over AI or scope creep?)
(+) Never met a neurology attending or resident I did not like (good fit for culture)
(+) Like the idea of being a specialist with a skillset few others possess
(-) Disliked rounding. Would be fine with clinic, but drawn towards inpatient medicine
(-) Dread the idea of never-ending MyChart inbox
(-) Unsure if I would be content with the bread and butter as a generalist
Anesthesiology
(+) Shift-based and inpatient
(+) Good mix of pharmacology, physiology and procedures
(+) Geographic flexibility and solid job market
(+) Love the teamwork aspect of the OR and the ICU
(+) Compensation
(-) The politics of Anesthesia (CRNAs, scope creep etc.)
(-) Limited longitudinal care. Unsure if this is a good or bad thing, but find myself more excited about potential developments in neurology than I do about technological advances in anesthesia.
(-) Not being a specialist with "unique knowledge". This feels unfair to anesthesiologists many of whom are fellowship trained, but if CRNAs can do hearts and pediatrics unsupervised it sort of defeats the purpose?
I am a medical student (MS2) having a difficult time deciding between anesthesiology and neurology. I am fortunate to attend a medical school with magnificent anesthesiology and neurology departments, so there has been no shortage of clinical-, research-, and mentorship opportunities. Went to graduate school for neuroscience (pain research) and have continued doing pain research as a medical student, so my mentors and connections are spread out across both departments.
I just wrapped up my neurology clerkship and had a great time. The residents and attendings felt like "my kind of people", and could see myself being quite content with neurology as a career. I do think I am more intellectually interested in neurology, but I also believe that anesthesiology may be slightly more aligned with my preferred workflow and work environment.
What I am ideally looking for:
Would really appreciate hearing from people in either field, especially anyone who seriously considered both.
I'm a medical student (MS2) interested in anesthesiology. I'm fortunate to attend a medical school with one of the largest and most active anesthesia departments in the country so there has been no shortage of clinical, research and mentorship opportunities in the anesthesiology department.
The anesthesiologists at my institution don't seem too concerned about the future of anesthesiology in the US, but online the sentiment seems to be quite different. Is the rapid expansion of CRNA/AA scope and programs, and the move towards more supervisory roles for anesthesiologists a legitimate concern?
I am mostly interested in critical care (trauma and cardiac) and would prefer to stay academic. I have been involved in anesthesiology-related research for four years now and am loving it, so I am pretty sure that academically it's the right path for me. Would you recommend this career to someone in my position, or would I be better served by pursuing internal medicine with a fellowship?
I'm a graduate student hoping to bring a few friends to the LAFC game in a few weeks. They are interested (curious more so) in football (soccer), but have never been to City games games and I am hoping to change that. I usually attend City games alone and am fine with slightly stiffer prices, but was hoping to find more affordable tickets that might make them more likely to join.
What is the best place to find affordable tickets? When is the best time to buy? I appreciate any advice and insight.
