How much radiology to know if working in rural or community setting?
If there's no radio in the hospital, how much should one know in order to practice with maximal competency? Chest xray reading + fractures on xray I'm assuming is a given. CTs (stroke)? And ultrasound as a nice bonus skill? (Source: Student Doctor Network)

Anyone else see this facile article on tPA in the New York Times?
For Many Strokes, There’s an Effective Treatment. Why Aren’t Some Doctors Offering It?
It was one of those findings that would change medicine, Dr. Christopher Lewandowski thought.
For years, doctors had tried — and failed — to find a treatment that would preserve the brains of stroke patients. The task was beginning to seem hopeless: Once a clot blocked a blood vessel supplying the brain, its cells quickly began to die. Patients and their families could only pray...

Is Neurology for me?
I'm a bit undecided as I take a liking to both Neurology and Psychiatry.
I found the neuroscience part in preclinical years fascinating and performed my best at those. I learnt the material quickly and did not put much effort in. I think of studying the brain (specifically memory, behaviour) and sleep medicine, pain medicine, psychopharmacology and treating headaches, epilepsy, sleep disorders and think this is for me but then I think of strokes (which I would hate to manage) and then I...

Hate sports med, is PMR not right for me?
In the ideal world I'd love to work with people recovering from stroke, spinal cord issues, learning to walk with prosthetics.
The times I've rotated with a pmr doc it felt like sports medicine. Lots of painful joints which bore me to no end.
Is it possible to practice in that type of way? Will I always have my fair share of sports medicine type patients?
As an aside, I'm nearing end of M3 and have been psych all the way. Only recently have I started to consider pmr. Is it too late at...

No use of MRI, MRA or CTA, echo for strokes.
2018 ASA/AHA guidelines made a very controversial recommendation in their laudable effort to avoid wasting medical resources in tests and labs that are not proven effective. They decided against routine use of MRI brain, CTA or MRA, echocardiogram, prolonged cardiac monitoring or even lipid panel in managing strokes. This is obviously hotly debatable, but I wanted to see how this is being received in your institutions. My biggest problem is that it is very difficult to narrow down the...
