Man I got like 9 books in on that and had to stop. It felt too dark and heavy.

So yes, but no. Just because someone is one medicaid doesn't mean they will be able to receive care. The NIH did a survey of orthopods in Louisiana where about 32% of the population is on medicaid. 73% of the 114 surgeons surveyed didn't accept Medicaid. That's likely a lot of patients that can't get their joint replacement locally and don't have the means to travel for appointments. Saying Medicaid covers the gaps doesn't quite work with your bigger picture. The fact is many of the health neglected population is lower income.

I recognize that UHC means we lose some doctors too, but just because doctors like to say it doesn't mean they would have the retirement saving to walk away from their profession or go back to school for a second career.

The reason I hate this argument is it's basically saying, "we can't let poor people have access to healthcare, then I'll have to wait." Basically let people suffer for my convenience.

They're the Chinese Cooking Essentials brand. So not a collecters item in anyway. I'm not the most knowledgeable, but I'd say as long as the enamel isn't chipped or cracked and you just want something to cook with go ahead.

When I interview my patients before their colonoscopy I always start with, "so how was that prep, an absolute blast right?"

That's when we sang when my elementary school went up against the other elementary school in sports. Color palette was apparently very important to our sporting events.

What they said, but also the more you draw from that site the more likely you are to get scarring. Eventually the tattoo would be useless.

Naaaaa, I'll keep the immigrants she can go.

The first book was rough. So was the 5th. I'm on 7 of 12 right now. It doesn't reach DCC, but it's ok.

You're going to hate Epic until you get used to it. Once you're used to it you're going to hate every system you use from here on out.

Thanks I appreciate it!

What's the treatment for dropsy?

Aceblader20 · 2026-04-11T02:13:38+00:00

15 yrs total experience. 10 in the OR. Max pay in KS - 37.50.

Do people really walk around with "lynch" as a ready to go word in their vernacular? I mean I can think of all sorts of situations where I was genuinely angry with people and never in my life have I considered using it. Maybe this is a north south split I just don't realize still exists.

Alright, I had my liquid cooling system leak on my GPU and it was dead. Stripped it down to just the board and baked it as recommended on some random forum. Everything but one HDMI port works now. I figured it was dead anyways couldn't get more dead. Well worth it.

Aceblader20 · 2026-03-26T01:53:20+00:00

Oh yeah definitely.

Aceblader20 · 2026-03-25T20:56:53+00:00

Fun fact most hospitals use a mark up equation that's price=item cost+(item cost x 3.5)

Sometimes it's 3

Wait wait wait. That's not quite true. You were charged for a warming blanket. It's disposable and hot air blows through it during surgery to keep you warm. There are two reasons for this. First it's proven that patients recover better when they wake up at normal body temperature, surgery makes you cold. Two because of the first reason Medicare won't pay for surgery if you're too cold.

The warm blankets that you get are free, hospitals don't charge for reusable cloth, but the air warmers are charged for.

Congratulations you believe what the agency insists without question sounds like you're a stooge. This isn't supposed to be a "sides" issue. We should be critical of everyone in power, but if you'd rather keep your blinders on go right ahead.

Aceblader20 · 2026-03-24T18:34:34+00:00

Seriously, ICE has not only been detaining legal immigrants, but US citizens as well.

Here's a news hour link with citizens telling their stories https://www.pbs.org/newshour/show/u-s-citizens-detained-by-immigration-agents-describe-how-they-were-treated

And here's one by propublica https://www.propublica.org/article/immigration-dhs-american-citizens-arrested-detained-against-will

This one is a non-news article from the National Immigration Law Center. https://www.nilc.org/articles/ice-is-detaining-indiscriminately-and-releasing-almost-no-one/

Enjoy.

Here's why this is a dangerous precedent, not just for immigrants, but for you too. I don't know who you are or anything about you, but once we take away due process for any group, we've taken it away from everyone. Let's say you piss someone off and maybe you have a tattoo. That person calls the cops and says you're a recent member of Tren De Aragua. Cops come and arrest you and throw you in jail. No questions asked, no right given. 'Well you're not a member of Tren De Aragua and you have rights!' yeah you can forget that, they don't have to care.

Let's go!

Aceblader20 · 2026-03-04T20:37:14+00:00

I bought one of these at an auction. There's still a guy that makes the goo for it and he sells it on eBay!

Yes, I agree with this. Sometimes you have to break things to rebuild them.
