St. Mary's Surgery
I did the surgery rotation there and it was intense q3 no post call working almost 120hrs a week (but then again i did IM at kings so this was like an extended kings county with less autonomy). Even though it was brutal I would do it again saw so many interesting cases(not just lap choles) sometimes you don't scrub out til 5 or 6 pm depending how the schedule is. Once in a while you can scrub into an ortho case or a gyn case depending on if you're interested. The ortho peeps are really cool very relaxed. It takes some time for the residents to trust you and allow you to do things but as with any rotation you show interest they let you do things.. Its a level 2 trauma center so you get your fair share of trauma's. All the residents are cool except for the cheif who is kind of "moody" some of the attendings teach others just want to finish the case as soon as possible but they all have their special quirks. The hospital is small so its difficult to hide so if you have an interest in surgery I recommend this rotation.
