Inpatient bread and butter is strokes, seizures, acute neuromuscular diseases and altered mental status/dizziness/other bullshit of unclear etiology. It's mostly algorithmic, the services are overloaded and it gets old really fast like anon pointed out >>10579739 here

Very rarely, they make an absolutely crazy diagnosis from physical exam findings, for example, spotting a cerebellar tumor on a patient about to be discharged because they noted VERTICAL nystagmus on exam

I never did any outpatient neuro rotations, but the residents were generally much happier and the lifestyle seems to be better.

In general, i found the neuro residents to be either genius wizards at localizing lesions that puzzled my medicine collegues, or completely total dipshits who couldn't tell you which side was the top of the ECG.
