M3, late interest, red flags |

Hey all, I'm an M3 at a T40. I always saw myself as going into FM/IM, so my research is limited (5 abstracts/posters). I took a year off after M1 due to some significant health problems, failed/had to remediate an M1 class due to said problem. Otherwise I have honors across the board.
Just finished a week in neurosurgery, and it really landed for me in a big way. I'm well aware that I'm behind, but I wanted to quantify that a little. If I were to take a research year, honor rotations, and do well on Step 2, would I have a shot somewhere? I don't need a Top 10 program; I'd be happy anywhere. Any advice helps, and if I'm fucked just tell me

Expected progression of knowledge in residency |

Just finished Step 2 and doing a little studying before sub-Is so I don’t have so I know at least something. Honestly, it’s like starting at MS1 all over again, I feel like other than the anatomy/physiology and a few common disease processes (hemorrhages, stroke, etc), I have no real understanding.
What’s the expected progression of knowledge and how do you avoid killing patients? I feel inclined to use the rest of M4 studying Greenberg so that I don’t go into intern year completely clueless, but not sure what’s expected of interns or how much residents have to study to outside the hospital to stay afloat (and how that changes by year). Maybe some residents can chime in on this.

Does private practice have more diverse cases than academics for most? |

So I initially was thinking academics cause I want to have a mix of cool cases, but seems like at my residency there is 2-3 big dawg surgeons who suck up all the cranial cases and refuse to do spine and then they hire like 10 spine only surgeons and will steal even a simple meningioma that comes in on general call for any of them. I imagine in private practice it is mostly degen spine, but you occasionally see meningiomas and SDH and chiaris etc you can do without having a cranial only chairmen taking the case while trading you 3 IV drug use osteo cases from their general call. Am I wrong in this viewpoint? That academics sort of sucks unless you are one of the big dawg guys at a place and if you are a grunt taking the cases the big dawgs don’t want to do then you should just go to private practice?
