Failing out of DO... now what?
So, after successfully completing all coursework and about a semester of rotations, I cannot seem to pass my COMLEX-1 (I have repeatedly gotten just a few points below 400)... and have now withdrawn/been dismissed from my school.
I'm very disappointed, but also a bit relieved (between burnout and migraines, life's been pretty crappy over the last few years)... though I am very fortunate to have minimal debt and a supportive spouse.
So, that's what it is. I was wondering if anyone out...

Why the heck is medical school so competitive to get into?
So just a background, I am a nontrad student who applied this cycle. I've had 6 DO interviews, 2 MD interviews, and a few acceptances.
I've been working full time at a derm clinic. And from my experience, I honestly feel that medicine is just another job. You deal with unhappy people, you deal with bull crap, you deal with insurance, prior authorizations, headaches, extremely incompetent people, etc. I also feel patients have the sense that you owe them a lot because they are paying you, or...

Family Physician looking for Urgent Care / Fast Track / other work in the ER
Hey folks
I would like to work in the Fast Track in the ER, love working with other colleagues (one reason I want to work in the ER rather than urgent care on my own), also want to see higher acuity patients and have the ER Doc's in case I can want to consult them (level 3 patients like headaches, abdo pain, chest pain etc )
It is hard to find these jobs in databases (practice match etc), I have looked under jobs for Family Docs and ER physicians and I only got 1 hit that was out of date...

Doctor and Pt unhappy when asked about CII regimen
Hi everyone, I am looking for some advice on how to approach CII scripts to make things less stress for prescribers, patients, and myself.
I print out PDMP for every CII prescription and fill as they're not early, same physician, same pharmacy, make sense (IR + ER), and low quantity (under #120 preferably but I've filled up to #240). So ~80% of the prescriptions I get are filled with no issue, but the other ~20% are a headache to deal with. I am reluctant to turn away scripts that doesn't...
