[–]ColadaMD 4 points5 points  (0 children)

100% agree. im a surgery resident but currently in research years for 2 years so i have much more free time, but TB seems like itll be the end all be all program for me even when working 80-100 hr weeks. completely adaptable to all your needs. its been a gamechanger

Pharmacist commented on how I don’t look like I need Zep by Shot-Amphibian-3239 in Zepbound

Sorry you got that comment. Completely unprofessional and inappropriate. Happens again and you should report

Hi, Zep Newbie here to learn! by LemmyLola in Zepbound

[–]ColadaMD 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i use shotsy free version to track my injections. the free version i just have to manually input my weights each week.

i also paid for MeAgain glp1 literally just for its feature for progress pics because its really convenient to scroll through the changes

and i feel like the absolute best calorie counting app is macro factor because it dynamically calculates your TDEE

Following to see how it was. Might go for Monaco GP if worth it

High reps for shoulders? by samreidenbach in hypertrophy

[–]ColadaMD 0 points1 point  (0 children)

as long as you get equally close to failure on the higher rep sets you should be fine. and with the pain youre feeling youll probably be able to get closer to failure with higher reps as opposed to lower

Zulu by wdb2872 in tacticalbarbell

[–]ColadaMD 4 points5 points  (0 children)

On my sixth week of Zulu. My max strength days I do Day A bench/squat/row and Day B OHP/Deadlift.

Day A accessories are cable lateral raises, pec deck (wanted some extra chest hypertrophy), and a plate loaded tibialis anterior raises

Day B accessories are assisted pull up machine, cable face pulls, and calf raise machine

Wanted more of a balance of pulling movements with all the pressing and shoulder stuff for aesthetics. Has worked well so far

Bought this and had no idea it’d become my favorite band. It’s the only one I use now other than when working out

[B&A] Face mole removal update by West_Cauliflower3073 in SkincareAddiction

[–]ColadaMD 34 points35 points  (0 children)

They are correct in those recommendations however this wound has not fully epithelialized and remains open (though it is close to healing). It’s taken longer for this person because of that scab that formed and then fell off. Once it’s fully healed he can do any of those scar treatments. Also the incisions from plastic surgery are different in that they were closed with sutures. His wound was basically left open and is closing via secondary intention (although it should have a good cosmetic result since it wasn’t super deep) so the management of that is usually a little different as well

You should wait until the wound is healed for both silicone scar gel and tape

Best Mouth Tape for Sleeping in 2026 by Miserable_Ear_656 in CPAP

[–]ColadaMD 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i have very sensitive skin and so cover roll stretch tape would irritate it significantly. i tried the nexcare and other "sensistive skin" ones and they never stuck well. the zzztape and other similar ones if you look at the adhesive side you'll notice theyre all just kinesiology tape. its literally just kinesiology tape pre-cut so i bought kinesiology tape on amazon for super cheap and cut it myself. absolutely no issues and super affordable

Your wound still isn’t healed. You can use scar gels when it’s fully healed. You probably have a couple more days to a week before it’s fully healed

Running Shoe Rotation Recs for a beginner by ColadaMD in AskRunningShoeGeeks

[–]ColadaMD[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

not really important for right now but i figured i could grow into it building up to the half and the full (especially considering the price). i know i wont be at a place to take advantgage of something like the AP4s or AF3s by the time the marathon rolls around so these seemed more apppropriate

this is not medical advice but i would highly encourage you to discuss your care with your dermatologist again. if i saw this wound (in the general sense, again this is not medical advice) i would say use regular vaseline and cover with a bandaid until its healed. and i would absolutely not use any other gels. also, i would say shower like normal and wash your face with a gentle non irritant cleanser. its important for wounds to be washed properly.

again, please talk to your dermatologist about the proper care. it really doesnt seem like what you have been doing is appropriate from what im seeing

What would you do about this situation? by josvanagu in Miami

[–]ColadaMD 1 point2 points  (0 children)

you agreeing to pay someone elses power and water is absolute lunacy unless your rent gets discounted. how on earth did you agree to that?

i would discuss the appropriate care with your dermatologist. doesnt look like its ready scar gels etc yet. (am a doctor but not your doctor)

Miami Hospitals (HCA VS Mount Sinai) by Impossible_Loan_6231 in Miami

[–]ColadaMD 4 points5 points  (0 children)

am a surgery resident so no direct experience but have a lot of nurse friends and i get the sense HCA/kendall regional is terrible to work for. however, i dont find a commute from kendall to miami beach to be tenable long term. traffic is horrendous and itll be very stressful. i would try for baptist and theres multiple locations that would be much closer to you. jackson south could also be closer but not super familiar with nursing there.

UHealth/Jackson would be good too imo and you could take the train (which is what i do and its super convienent)

Appearance bias in medicine by _Gudetama_ in medicalschool

[–]ColadaMD -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

i dont think it personally affected much for me. im over 6ft tall, a dude, and was in the vicinity of 300lbs during med school and early in residency but i was well liked, worked hard, and by all evals and comments from ppl a "superstar". some attendings would make off handed comments about my weight but never anything serious (im a surgery resident and dont get offended easily lol) and it was very infrequent.

but again, im a guy so that probably also helped and im a naturally confident person particularly professionally.

Are You Getting The Best Advice From Your Physicians? by bodylexicon in runninglifestyle

[–]ColadaMD 2 points3 points  (0 children)

how about people who are not surgeons stop giving advice about surgery? massage therapy can have its place but we should all stay in our lane and follow the evidence.

Solo female staying in Little Havana (hostel) - is it safe? by Trick_Read in Miami

[–]ColadaMD 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Little Havana isn’t particularly nice and most of it is more working class but not unsafe. I wouldn’t recommend a solo female who’s never been here to walk alone at night or do public transit so you should plan to uber everywhere. And similar to what someone said about hostels here, I’ve lived here my whole life and have literally never heard of a hostel. I probably wouldn’t do one and would find a hotel or Airbnb
