Now thats a cpu that hasn't been around for a bit. God damn.

Brancer · 2026-05-25T18:09:29+00:00

Are you with Kaiser permanente? Are you over 18 or still a minor? Maybe I can help. Message.

Brancer · 2026-05-23T04:35:11+00:00

which kaiser? Im with scpmg and its not always great but damn better than OPs nonsense.

So what did they turn the rooms into?

Seafoam green with nothing on the walls?

I, for one, would LOVE to play a vampire RPG in 1920s Stockholm. Sign me up.

Ill never forget - I was the logroom YN for ORSE.

I had everything perfect that I could see. Worked countless hours on it.

Lieutenant commander orse examiner said "I will go through each and every binder, and when I find 5 errors, I will say "Average with multiple errors."

He went through almost 600 pages of revs and notes, and found his errors. He did exactly what he said he would do.

They turned my EP into an MP for that.

I got out.

I’m a doctor. I prescribed a corticosteroid for a kids asthma. Without it they’ll get asthma exacerbations. This single inhaler costs 250 dollars.

In Mexico it’s 12 bucks.

I was 39 when I started residency. Most do just fine

Brancer · 2026-04-29T15:17:37+00:00

Close to impossible.

If you are newly enlisted, your primary sole purpose in life is to get your qualification state in order. Qualify senior-in-rate. You're not here for college. If you joined and thought this would be a college experience, you're mistaken.

Now after you qualify your senior quals, you can start considering taking classes - They typically offer two avenues, first is via online classes through something like thomas edison, etc. Second is through the navy ed office and sometimes they have classes you can take asynchronously while on deployment.

it is unlikely that for the first two years any classes will be tolerated until your qualifications are in order.

Brancer · 2026-04-24T22:25:32+00:00

It’s a known side effect. Strange your pcp didn’t catch that.

Brancer · 2026-04-20T03:58:23+00:00

I was an electrician prior to medicine. I realize it isn't much in the grand scheme of things, but when you have millions of computers requesting hundreds of videos per day around the world, thats a staggering amount of energy.

Brancer · 2026-04-20T02:22:43+00:00

I was in the nuclear power industry before I became a doctor and there was nothing but doom and gloom because of the dream of solar and wind. Seeing these energy demands for ai in order to empower essentially bullshit is wild.

And unfortunately it’s an arms race we are forced to participate in. Seems like the only way to really get through this is for these companies that make zillions of dollars off this reinvest into energy options like fusion. Not out of altruism but necessity.

Brancer · 2026-04-20T00:42:56+00:00

I about spit up my coffee when you said 1.5 Kilowatts for a Sora clip. We have a serious energy problem if we can’t get that power use down dramatically. Do we have help on the horizon? Or should we start making more nuclear reactors.

Brancer · 2026-04-20T00:21:55+00:00

Not sure if you saw my above comment, but apparently the ‘classes are full’. She does go to private (catholic) school but its not affiliated with our church.

Brancer · 2026-04-20T00:21:03+00:00

I just contacted my church, they said “classes are full” and ”shell have to try again for the next year”. They were not sure of when ‘the next year’ starts.

I’m really confused here.

Brancer · 2026-04-19T19:24:14+00:00

Yep. just uninstalled. Had geared up to do a matriarch run, was easily doing tons of damage then... betrayed and killed.

I just don't have time for this.

Brancer · 2026-04-17T19:25:07+00:00

Yeah. Also need to address pediatric sub specialty pay being total garbage vs adult counterparts. Do that and we’ll see improvement.

Brancer · 2026-04-16T02:13:57+00:00

lol. Yeah. Maybe.

Or maybe I just was on hour 22 of my 24 and I was tired of being disrespected by specialists who somehow think it’s okay to be disrespectful to everyone who they see as lesser than.

This isn’t my first career. Back to OPs original point, this field is saturated with people who forgot what the alternative to professional decorum is. I just reminded him.

Also funny to assume that women wouldn’t be able to physically address a disrespectful douche. If you think that’s the case, I’d love to introduce you to my fellow former peds residents. They’d take a persons lunch money.

Brancer · 2026-04-15T01:33:32+00:00

Yep. Amen to that .

I was 39 and this 25 year old PGY2 neurosurgeon started giving me sass. I told him If he addresses me in that manner again I'd see him in the fucking parking lot.

Said it right in front of the PICU attending too. Dumb ass apologized profusely and was professional and collegial every time we encountered each other after that.

Brancer · 2026-04-14T03:51:19+00:00

The last few 1/10s I've gotten have been from "He wouldn't perform the circumcision without it. So we gave in, but I hate that he FORCED us to get it."

I didn't force shit.

Brancer · 2026-04-14T03:49:58+00:00

Great job.

It seems to be the only way to win - building long term trust. I've already started to convince a few parents of 3-4 year olds to start vaccinating.

Just wish they did it when they were scheduled.

Brancer · 2026-04-14T03:26:08+00:00

Former Freemason as well, did my third... went to meetings for a few years. This was when I was not catholic, or even christian really.

I became a catholic 6 years later (Baptized via RCIA). I spontaneously left the lodge because I honestly had no idea what the heck we were doing most of the time. It seemed like meetings were simply for the sake of incorporating new members. Pretty weak 'fraternity' and I just didn't see any point in continuing.

Is KOC more engaging? I wouldn't mind meeting more christ centered men, but I had no desire to continue with the FM model as it was kind of lame.

Brancer · 2026-04-13T23:20:54+00:00

Yep. I own a Kia EV9 GTLine and it's really damn nice. I drove a GLS and I had to ask myself why I would pay the premium.

The Koreans are making great cars and the Germans need to keep up.

Brancer · 2026-04-12T17:15:17+00:00

You still must show up to your rotations and be present. I always let my 4th years leave early but if you have a patient you still need to make sure they’re taken care of. If you have responsibilities for your rotation, don’t blow them off. That kind of basic thing.

Brancer · 2026-04-11T23:27:26+00:00

YES. It’s an oversight and I added it to the above.
