You're a goldmine of knowledge and wisdom, thanks for this insight! I'm at a point where I'm starting to understand how the mind works in terms of transitioning from a different "med student" framework, to someone who can understand the medical language and know the next step. But the transition is very mentally taxing. Thanks again for this pearl

Doctor if you have time can you please explain how to better yourself for decision making? Why im asking because I shadow and volunteer with ophthalmologists (love the field) and for some cases I try to figure out when is a good time to use a steroid or not since they are contradicted for many diagnoses due to the rise in iop after long term use

[@danymann95]

Hi, I am also an ophthalmology resident, my answer is reading… we are in the era of information, and also to know your skill limits

[@gabrielfattakhov9962]

@@danymann95 thank you. Congrats and good luck to you

[@doctoreyeballmd7493]

Decision making cones with time and experience- the more patients you can see the better you’ll be. Combine this with reading the literature and you’ll improve your clinical reasoning

[@casinoroyale0013]

Sounds good to me. A little off from that, but how would you say we work on this in rotations/3rd and 4th year? Watch the physician make decisions?

[@doctoreyeballmd7493]

Trying to decide what you would do as a treatment plan even if you are not the one enacting it as a medical student. It will be good practice

[@kennyp5388]

What books do you recommend for a med student to read to get ideas on how to manage patients on the general medicine wards/clinic?
