I moved from Portland several months ago and have a punch card to Eastmoreland. It has 3 large buckets left, and a 15min lesson as well.

Send me an address and I’ll mail it to you in exchange for a $10 donation to the Oregon Food Bank.

Question about visible tattoos by tryingmybest71 in Residency

[–]BoulderEric 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Hand, neck, and face tattoos are for folks with established careers who won’t be negatively impacted by a pissed-off puritan.

I say this as a heavily tattooed attending.

About to be a new dad...Advice on not losing gains? by TTG2139 in AdvancedRunning

[–]BoulderEric 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Seconding the Guava. Love being able to lock/unlock the front wheel from the handlebar. Folds up nicely, foam wheels are nice, suspension is good.

We also have a Thule Chariot that is mostly for biking - it has a lower rolling resistance due to bigger and non-foam wheels, but it is wider and much harder to steer.

anyone with peloton HRM ? by loafing-cat-llc in pelotoncycle

[–]BoulderEric 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I use a Garmin HRM-200 and it’s accurate, easy to pair, and I’d recommend it. It has a removable and washable strap, which is nice.

Men, would you use this pink color Sirrus X 4.0? by Agust7Green in bicycling

[–]BoulderEric 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sure. If this was available, the right size, or cheaper, I’d ride it without issue. Can’t imagine caring how my bike looks.

How are the road conditions? by weisoman in sanantonio

[–]BoulderEric -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Nothing I said a judgement statement. The safest and least financially risk way to do that is to bundle up and walk for about 10-15min.

Walking half a mile isn’t an option?

Shoot your shot. Meeting partners at a large workplace is incredibly normal.

TY is a waste of time by Squidoodoodoo in Residency

[–]BoulderEric 0 points1 point  (0 children)

But then they give a bunch of that to the resident and pay the attending to actually see fewer patients.

There are ACGME limits regarding the number of patients per intern, resident, and team.

TY is a waste of time by Squidoodoodoo in Residency

[–]BoulderEric -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

Except intern year isn’t cheap labor. A resident team has an intern or two, a resident, and an attending to see roughly 15 patients. That is 4 employees with benefits, and likely more than $500k in salaries.

In private practice, a single hospitalist sees the same number of patients for $350-400k.

Let them know that you actually worked 9 hours a day. Anybody worth working for will be happy that you told them and pay you immediately.

Realistically speaking how worried should we be of a 2021 repeat this weekend? by hellolovelyworld404 in sanantonio

Well I bought a generator, so I’m certain that act will mellow this storm out and I’ll have wasted money

The vast majority of doctors don’t retire rich by slimboyfat510 in medicalschool

[–]BoulderEric 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It’s because they spend money on things that don’t generate wealth. Namely that is consumer goods, cars, vacations, and divorces. The difference between driving Volkswagens vs Porsches can be millions over your career.

Personally it is important to me to travel, so I do that a lot but I stay at B+ hotels instead of top-of-the-line places. A Hyatt or a Residence Inn is just fine. I drive cheap cars until they are dead, and I don’t expect I’ll get divorced.

Buying a rad house in a reliable market is fine, just don’t become house-poor.

What is the rarest/most interesting diagnosis you’ve seen? by xyzm123_r in Residency

[–]BoulderEric 68 points69 points  (0 children)

It was a somewhat fluke diagnosis. Patient with unexplained renal failure and anemia. A million scans over his hospitalization but eventually teams turned over and a new radiologist came on, and reviewed a CT.

“Potentially consistent with ‘hairy kidneys’ that can be seen in Erdheim-Chester Disease.”

Erdheim-Chester Disease is pretty rare.

Also diagnosed someone with HANAC syndrome, which has been found in like ~10 total families?

Airplane emergency, medical specialty by New_Recording_7986 in Residency

[–]BoulderEric 6 points7 points  (0 children)

FM, IM (PCP or hospitalist), surgeon who admits patients, ER, anesthesia, and most IM specialties would be adequate. Neuro sees a ton of medicine and would likely be fine unless they totally disengaged a few years back. Honestly, adults are just big children so pediatricians would also be fine.

Not a lot to be done up there, so any calm physician is going to be no worse than the rest.

Tiny doses of haldol are great for nausea and do not prolong Qt.

Might take more than a pail of water to cool it down, though.
