How is the VA as an employer for family medicine?
Asking for my wife. Anyone here working for the VA? What's compensation like usually for the VA? Benefits I'm assuming will be above average, agreed? What's the average patient load per day, and the average work week like, is it mostly 4.5 clinic days basically? I'm sure the girls will vary based on location, but just getting a general idea of job satisfaction of VA vs community. (Source: Student Doctor Network)

Autism and gender dysphoria
I recently tested a teenage girl who has accumulated the following diagnoses in 5+ years: ADHD, ASD, OCD, Bipolar, MDD, GAD, and Gender Dysphoria. Has anyone ever worked with a someone with ASPERGERS (I know it isn't technically a diagnosis anymore but I feel it better captures her presentation) and Gender Dysphoria? I am certain she is on the spectrum, but I can't really discern if she thinks she is meant to be a boy because she feels different than everyone else, or if it's true gender...

Fatherhood and clinical rotations: how did you do it?
My wife and I are expecting a baby girl later this fall and I'd like to know how to balance being successful on my 3rd and 4th yr rotations and giving my wife and newborn quality time, as well as any other advice you might be willing to share. I had a pretty crappy father and thus want to give my daughter a better life(being present more so than financially) growing up than what I had. Thank you. (Source: Student Doctor Network)

Difficult to find a job in Southern California..
Hey guys/girls, I'm a board certified anesthesiologist looking for part time / full time work in Southern California.

Also if anyone is interested in expanding... Difficult to find a job in Southern California.. (Source: Student Doctor Network)

going out on a date with a patient you've had on rotations?
Already know it's not ok for doctors to date their patients, but does the same ethical principle also apply to medical students on rotations? Can't seem to find anything about this online, unless it's just that the same principles apply. Matched with a girl on tinder that i later realized i took a history and physical exam from while on family practice placement in a small town. (Source: Student Doctor Network)
