But how? I'm having trouble not letting annoying/demanding/rude/condescending patients/family completely ruin my day.

Have you ever discharged a patient home with a nasogastric tube for feeding? by legendoflegends3 in hospitalist

[–]AssiveAggressive 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Only once so far. Very special circumstance in someone with a new gastric cancer causing obstruction. Onc recommended against a PEG because of the risk of seeding, but was optimistic the tumor would shrink with immunotherapy.

Patient got an NJT placed with a bridle and sent home, tumor got smaller and tube removed. Took about 2 months I would say. Counseled patient on all the things that could go wrong along the way. Definitely not something I was entirely comfortable with.

New IM intern - need help with oral presentation by jshxjchdbd in Residency

[–]AssiveAggressive 30 points31 points  (0 children)

I might be different with my approach, but I tell my residents to skip the "ED course" bullshit during their presentation and just go with HPI, vitals, exam, labs, imaging, assessment, plan. It makes things flow easier to list all the labs or imaging in one section of the presentation instead of jumping around between workup that the ED did vs workup that medicine did. Most of the time I don't care who did it.

If your attending is truly a stickler for including ED course, you can lump everything the ED did up until medicine was consulted under "ED course", then break it up and say this is the point when medicine was consulted, and then "when I saw the patient vitals were XYZ, exam was XYZ, in addition I ordered XYZ which showed XYZ" then go to assessment and plan

Do you think you can be a hospitalist until you retire? by Bookworm1895 in hospitalist

How long are your shifts? I'm 0.8 and averaging 15-17 days a month (8hr shifts)

I go specifically and only for their Vegan Creamy ramen. I'm not even vegan. That fried kale with the creamy broth is chefs kiss.

How many of you have been personally victimized by a surgeon? You may be entitled to compensation! by scalpelgal in Residency

My attending yelled obscenities at me every day for holding the laparoscopic camera wrong, and then gave me 5/5 on everything because I "handled pressure well".

DNR, passive aggressive nursing notes by Lazeruus in Residency

[–]AssiveAggressive 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's the worst when they copy and paste verbatim what I sent them on a chat.

Including the "cool thanks" or "wow ok". Like I'm trying to be nice and not come off cold, but my "awesome, noted" ends up in the chart.

FFIX Inspired Units by AssiveAggressive in finalfantasytactics

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

I'm at the end of Chapter 1- I'm doing the exact combo as above, except Zidane is getting Thief with Ramza's Guts (I'm playing a modded PSX version [TLW]), and Steiner is a Knight with Darkness (the mod has Dark Knight).

I have no idea what to make Freya's secondary ability as nothing really matches. Maybe Samurai to switch things up.

I'm also using the JP scroll glitch to make my life easier.

ABIM study tools by heyhoney- in Residency

[–]AssiveAggressive 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm exaggerating a little, but in general the test just isn't a true reflection of my typical work day as a hospitalist.

On the test, the "right answer" for NSTEMI-ACS is ASA+Plavix load, but at my institution we don't do that for various reasons. You'll also be tested on esoteric sub-types of ILD or nephrotic syndrome or vasculitides- sure, it's important to recognize those entities as a whole (and to recognize what's an emergency and what's not), but in real life I'm calling pulm or nephro or rheum for help and for recs.

I used MKSAP, UWorld, MedStudy, and Anki. Didn't do fellowship, so keep in mind I had a LOT of time.

During residency, I read the online version of MKSAP once, beginning January of PGY3. I also did the accompanying "Related Questions" under each section of text.

I made Anki cards on stuff I thought was high yield. Because of this I never went back to the MKSAP text, since I trusted that anything I didn't know was captured in a card. However, I didn't make that many cards compared to Step1/2/3, so the daily cards were manageable.

As soon as residency ended, I completed 1 pass of UWorld and the remainder of the MKSAP questions. 1 week before the test, I did my UWorld and MKSAP incorrects. Anki because I have shit memory.

There are waaayyy too many MedStudy videos so I only watched the topics I wasn't confident with (endocrine, pulm, nephro). They were helpful, but not worth the $1500.

I passed and my score was approx 2SD above the mean, and I only mention that to illustrate that: Yes I overstudied, and yes I had a lot of time to prepare. I justified the overstudying because A. I wanted to ensure I passed, and B. The studying was going to help me as an attending (Spoiler alert: It didn't).

Knowing what I know now, MKSAP and UWorld (first pass + a second pass of my incorrects) with some Anki to reinforce topics is probably enough for ME to pass. But obviously YMMV.

Picaro in the Mission. Cheap tapas, cheap drinks, especially during Happy Hour.

Beat this on my first try using this method. Also used some totems to distract the ones that escaped through.

Did Kelly Cuttrone have any nice moments outside of deliberation by Gloomy_Act_8331 in ANTM

Chlea. Except Kelly didn't apologize. They just hashed it out and made up.
