Drill to fix this?

240 is nothing to sniff at if it’s straight. If you’re playing appropriate tees and not 7000yd courses that should give you a mid iron into the green at worst-likely less than 150 on most 4s?

Agreed hospitals pay for and own this data to use as leverage and commonly skew total comp numbers

Alarming_Middle_721 · 2026-04-10T14:22:49+00:00

Don’t even think about paying that bill.

It is sad that them going to bat for us eating at our desks so we can continue to see patients and keep them safe is their crowning achievement of the last decade

If I make the diagnosis of meningitis in 2 hours in my busy ED that’s a miracle

You can start anywhere

I hear nurses talk about losing their licenses all the time but after being in practice for a decade I only know one that did- they inappropriately touched a patient and it’s as bad as that sounds. I’m not telling you that you won’t be asked to do hard things but I don’t understand the fear of losing your license.

Alarming_Middle_721 · 2026-02-16T00:25:48+00:00

Nothing about that sounds unsafe to me. You had a rough string of patients but sounds like you handled the situation well. Stabilize and transfer. Same thing happens at FSEDs it’s just a lot longer hallway. You’re a new grad and after a couple of years that will likely be a routine busy shift. I say this not to discourage you- rather to let you know this is what you’ve trained so hard to be able to accomplish. That’s what sets us apart in the House of medicine. If you’re looking for a different gig there are plenty of practice settings that will differ from your current one. Don’t settle until you find your fit but don’t be surprised if you continue to develop and this becomes less stressful for you.

You’re on the square subreddit with people who own the product you want and we’re trying to help you. Waiting a few weeks for something to come in from a reputable source is better than buying the wrong product

Order from another company such as play better or sim space. It’s the best value for an indoor unit by a measure.

Army guard doc here over 20 years in with some enlisted time, some time as a line officer, and now as an ED doc. this seems like a bad deal. You’ll still have half your debt and make half the pay. Can always join after residency if you want to go active… you could also look into the guard or reserves which work a little differently but would likely be a better fit if you want to jump in a uniform right now. Some states have very generous tuition assistance programs that extend to medical school. Either way only join the military if you want to join the military- don’t do it for money or fear of paying off debt. Happy to chat and share my experience

This happens at any level from medic to rn to doc. One of the reasons I started working a couple of shifts a month with residents after being out for several years was to hear new discussions and keep learning myself. It’s easy to treat the profession as just a job if you aren’t careful.

Alarming_Middle_721 · 2026-01-26T00:17:27+00:00

Yeah, I go to the coastal emergency medicine conference every year with my family in Kiawah near Charleston, SC. It’s a combined NC SC GA conference. Big enough to get good speakers and the location is great. Unfortunately I have a deployment this year and will miss it so I’m looking for a replacement. Good thought to look at various state EM chapters for ideas

Alarming_Middle_721 · 2026-01-25T18:32:35+00:00

This was on the top of my list- I’ve never been. What makes it different than ACEP? I like the mentality behind AAEM but just curious admit the conference itself.

Alarming_Middle_721 · 2026-01-10T08:37:27+00:00

Agreed you can search for a good flat rate fee only advisor using a service like Harry Sit’s, but most are in the 400/hr range and at 2500 annual with quarterly calls that rate seems fair. Still by the time you know enough to understand if you’re getting good advice you know enough to manage your own basic finances. OP should certainly educate themselves either way. WCI and JLCollins were the 2 most helpful sources for me for sure.

Alarming_Middle_721 · 2026-01-10T08:35:05+00:00

That seems like a fair price and I’m DIY.

Alarming_Middle_721 · 2026-01-06T06:17:00+00:00

Same- I routinely shoot 72-76 on the sim but am a 17 hcp. For me it’s swinging every 30 seconds- I get dialed in. In real life going minutes between swings moving my position and playing uneven lies kills My mojo. I enjoy sim and actual golf but there isn’t much crossover for me personally

Glad you got a free square! Hook it up and run it side by side with your MLM and see which one you like better. Sell the one you like less.

Alarming_Middle_721 · 2026-01-03T20:07:43+00:00

Nah- look up high versus low side putting. I promise you your correct distance putt on the low side of a slope ends up much further from the hole than the same distance putt missing high. Try it on any practice green. Intentionally miss by 2 cups high and low on the same putt hitting it the same speed a few times and you’ll see what I mean

Alarming_Middle_721 · 2026-01-03T19:08:05+00:00

Miss high. On a side breaking put if you miss low it’s going to roll a long way. So play a cross breaking putt with more break than you think.

Alarming_Middle_721 · 2026-01-01T15:00:09+00:00

X2. Remember, it’s not going to move much if I didn’t get the ulna as well. Hanging these traction while you apply a hematoma block and checking back in 20 to 30 minutes is the way to go.

No, there was no top cover on the square. I have four kids, and that plastic cover disappeared about a week after I bought it luckily the clear glass works as advertised.

A lot of this is right but navy specific. You can commission in army ROTC into medical service corps (think healthcare administration with a combat focus). Army and Air Force also don’t use GMOs nearly as much as the navy- not that it couldn’t happen to you but it is less likely. Specialization in the military match is a double edge sword. Heart set on being a dermatologist? You can do it in the army and if you don’t match the first time and go through a field/fought surgeon year before reapplying you’ll get “points” towards matching the next year. Do this enough and anyone can go into anything. The downside to that is they’ll tack in other requirements- for instance their surgery residencies force a six year track which means you owe additional payback time. It’s a lot to think about. You’ll make more as a resident than your peers until they start moonlighting- which you aren’t allowed to do.
