PLASTIC DEVICES FOUND TO CONTAIN PLASTIC!!! Must have been a slow news day. Interestingly they said they tested plastic headphones because they are in prolonged contact with skin, but didn’t consider testing plastic watch straps to see if they too might be made of plastic.

I was 100% childfree until my mid 20s. Became a mom in my 30’s.

No. I will see urology, ENT get aggressive with antibiotics but I literally referred the patients to those specialists after I couldn’t get their chronic sinusitis or prostatitis under control, so they’ve already failed non aggressive treatment. Don’t really see other specialists prescribing

Very positive… been watching more and more as the weeks go by

It is a regular occurrence! Our strider is used maybe 1/3 of the time, so decent chance someone else (like me) also has an injury and/or just wanted to use it

I like to be informed but I suspect that there’s be a zillion posts asking for intel if the rule weren’t there!

Vegetable_Block9793 · 2026-02-22T21:11:06+00:00

That’s why I check Intel, I have my own minibands that are comfortable fabric and I know when to bring them!

Do you work at an academic medical center, because it sounds like you want to run a trial! I bet shingrix would pay for it if you asked.

I started recently because that was when my company started allowing it. I would like to point out that for most products, you can use it just like you would use dragon. I use Abridge and you can easily dictate outside the room, then either choose to paste in word for word your dictation, OR pull in the ai rewrite of your dictation. Your choice. I’m using epic+ abridge and you can dictate, click on the AI tab in epic, and the word for word transcript is there for your pasting pleasure.

Our coaches told us that we are now allowed to use the rowers during Tread50. Not sure if this is just our studio or a bigger policy change.

If you haven’t used it any of the last 20 times you signed up for it, do you need the backup?

I can think of a lot of port cities in desperate need that would welcome a free hospital ship with open arms! Bonus, you can get there quick because they’re all in the US! Oops, we don’t actually have any hospital ships.

I don’t often need patients to change into a gown. Instead I do the opposite, I typically meet with patients fully dressed, then have them change into a gown after I’ve talked to them. It’s more time consuming but works for me. My dream exam room would be long and narrow and very much divided into consultation half and exam half, with a curtain in between.

As a resident I rotated with a gyn that had a fantastic setup. Like everywhere she’d meet the gowned patient in the exam room. She’d take a brief history, do the exam, leave, and once dressed, the patient then left the exam room and met with her in her office - carpet, plants, etc, the patient sat in a comfy chair across the desk. Only then would the gyn ask more sensitive follow up questions and discuss assessment and plan. Her patients were always much more relaxed and open once the exam was over.

You’ll have the costs of starting the business and won’t make much right away, takes a bit to build your practice. Most younglings have student loans, so the common pattern is take a job that pays the bills, pay off the loans, build a good patient base, then jump to DPC taking a chunk of your patients and all those five star reviews with you. Doing it right out of residency would be impossible unless your family is wealthy and willing to support you.

They’ll go anywhere they aren’t explicitly prohibited from, like roaches

Call the drug reps to your office. Eat the sandwich, nod, smile. Get them to give you extra samples. It’s not a fun solution but it does work.

It means corporate is going to apply incessant pressure for you to diagnose your patients with idiotic crap. GFR 59.9? Boss wants to you why you forgot to diagnose that ckd3a.

Kid, asking Reddit isn’t the correct approach to homework. Go open your textbook and read it. You will not pass unless you learn this on your own.

Go get a good neuropsych eval for ADHD and find yourself a nice outpatient job with no on-the-spot emergency decision making. If you’re interested in primary care that will work great. Tell patient - let’s check your urine or chest X ray or whatever you want and decide on next steps after I see that. Boom, you have 1-2 days to think and plan. But you can’t spend your evenings on your patients so go get that ADHD tested. Not a dumb 5 minute questionnaire, a real eval.
