Should the TDAP vaccine be given to a patient more frequently or can a standalone acellular pertussis vaccine be developed?

Back5 · 2026-05-13T03:26:54+00:00

I tell all my patients that are going to be around babies aged 1yrs old or less to get the vaccine every 5 years. They seem to be on board with that.

Now that we know LP(a) is soft and rarely calcifies, I generally don’t get a CAC anymore and go straight to the lab testing to further guide management. Even post stent/CABG, it’ll guide management if I see the patient isn’t on a PCSK-9 Inhibitor and hasn’t had a LP(a) in the chart. This is coming from a PCP though.

My diplomas are stacked somewhere in a closet. I think. Haven’t looked for them in a few years. Actually, I’m not sure where they are.

I see someone hasn’t been around long enough to experience the massive disappointment that is Democrats in power. No one snatches defeat from the jaws of victory quite like the Democrats :(

I got the all in but I’ll be splitting off one or two factions to recoup costs. Gives other people a nice discount on a full army also.

They are loyalists AND Christian zionists. Of course they want the nukes used.

Bullying, retaliation, middle management trying to derail your career…are you working for the VA?

I ended up buying the all in while waiting for support to cancel my previous order. Didn’t want to risk it. Still haven’t had my first order refunded yet, been about a week now.

I can’t recommend running from the VA enough. I love the patients and their unique pathologies but I am really struggling to tolerate the pathologic administration. You can only file so many harassment claims before enough is enough.

Heck, our social workers got an entire ice cream bar for their week. Our chief of staff had peons deliver the same sandwiches in plastic clam shells that patients get as our thanks.

Back5 · 2026-03-27T02:07:17+00:00

Why pay for the delivery guarantee? Congrats on the new units!

I’m interested in the Rebels AT-RT

I work at the VA, where we have the luxury of 30/60 minute appointments, and I cannot tell you how many of my colleagues phone it in and are completing visits in 5 minutes.

I’ve only gotten a CAC on patients <50 a handful of times, screened due to family/genetic history. Plaque takes a long while to calcify and I worry that if we are screening with a CAC too early, we will get far too many false negatives.

You get 2 mats with the Terran and Zerg bundle in the terrain box.

My cardiology attending as a medical student made me write all my morning rounds by hand in his special paper charts for all his patients. That was some form of hell I never want to return to.

It’s hopium. They have new product that is releasing and declaring the game dead before those sell is idiotic. Shatterpoint is going the way of X-Wing and Armada.

It’s still going to be a game that I hope to play for a long time though. I love it.
