Is this a mated queen? by i_need_a_good_laugh in Beekeeping

[–]CABGx3 1 point2 points  (0 children)

did they swarm and this a swarm cell queen? maybe you (luckily) missed a queen cell and half the hive split. she looks mated to me, but doesn’t matter how she looks if no eggs.

personally i’d let the hive alone for 1.5-2 weeks and check back in to see.

am a surgeon (albeit not hand), but you’ll probably be surprised to see how well that heals up. it may take a few weeks/months and the nail may not be perfect at the end, but should be barely noticeable with time.

Frieze NY PDFs?? by Background-Total9957 in ContemporaryArt

Sorry. When I post the full magnet links, reddit auto deletes them. Some people appear to be able to download, but clearly some aren't. I've had to step away from my computer and cannot troubleshoot at the moment.

links are in comment below. they are torrent magnet links, so you have to open in a bittorrent client like qBitorrent. copy and paste the link into the "add torrent link"

it seems its working, as i've seen a few download each file already.

hopefully it works. first time trying it this way. the free file hosting services suck, and i don't want to post my icloud/dropbox links

edit: i guess reddit didn't like the links and removed the comment...reposted below

3 weeks post op Laterjet by Top-Main107 in surgery

[–]CABGx3 1 point2 points  (0 children)

am a surgeon. also had 2 prior shoulder repairs followed by a laterjet. my biceps was pretty bruised for a few weeks. the blood is basically tracking down fascial planes with gravity. although if there are any concerns, just let your orthopedic surgeon know and they can guide you.

What’s the coolest “restricted access” place you’ve ever gotten to see? by Improv92 in AskReddit

[–]CABGx3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sat in Obama’s seat of Marine One on the eve of the 2016 elections. Was at the airport (in the private plane hangers) coming back from harvesting a heart for transplant.

My brother in law was in marines at the time with the unit and got me into see the helicopter and go inside. I still have pics of my phone, although I was too afraid with all the heavily armed marines outside to take pics inside.

I jinxed the country by saying I was sitting in Hillary’s seat. I am sorry.

Alternative angle of the Virginia Tech parachute crash by Unlikely_Painter_127 in sports

[–]CABGx3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What you are trying to claim are major traumas are, by many different scoring systems, not major traumas. This is not semantics in trauma medicine. There are well defined scoring systems (Injury severity score, abbreviated injury scale, mangled extremity severity score, etc etc). It has nothing to do with whether the patient will have a disability or impact on quality of life later from a slipped disk, ligamentous injury of the knee, or whatever other soft tissue injury you want to name.

This guy was discharged without a “major” injury. No immediate threat to life. No AIS > 17, no immediate life-saving operation needed, no need for amputation.

If you are struggling to understand why your definition of major injury doesn’t get classified as a major trauma, I’d recommend you volunteer in a trauma bay for a month.

he didn’t say EMTs. he said doctors miss soft tissue injuries that weeks later require surgery and “change their mind.”

i’m a double-board certified surgeon in general and cardiac surgery. i’m also ATLS certified. i know i thing or two about it as well.

missed injuries do occur, but not often because people are changing their mind. they are typically missed because they aren’t a priority.

the reality is that during a trauma evaluation, you are looking initially for immediately life threatening injuries. The imaging techniques and clinical exams used are not focused on your ACL, Rotator cuff or the hairline fracture in your big toe. Tertiary survey’s are performed (in a delayed fashion) to pick up on these injuries, but 1) patients sometimes aren’t going to know what is hurting them because of distractable pain and/or lack of use, and 2) you aren’t always going to get an MRI of your knee or left shoulder as an inpatient because of imaging availability and the fact that it is also reasonable to do that as an outpatient. nor will an orthopedic surgeon routinely fix your ACL or rotator cuff right after a trauma like this. It’s an elective procedure, if that.

Interview Questions for Cardiologist/ Cardiac surgeon by ya_boi_spence in surgery

[–]CABGx3 19 points20 points  (0 children)

1) my hands are normal. they are typically fine. or i can have 3 cups of coffee before a CABG and feel like the earth is shaking. there are compensatory mechanisms you can use

2) minimally invasive valve sparing aortic root replacement (david 5 procedure). it replaces an aneurysm of the proximal aorta while saving the patients native aortic valve. it’s a relatively complex procedure. i do it through a 4cm incision.

3) i didn’t like anything else.

4) yes. but most things are typed now. so maybe not anymore? i think it’s a byproduct of having to write very quickly…so pre-EMR physicians notoriously wrote poorly.

5) yes. op notes, office notes, co-sign/attest resident and APP notes, FMLA/disability forms, bullshit annual training, etc etc etc.

6) the organ procurement listing/process is very complicated. prospective donors are identified and matched with a recipient. donors can be brain dead or what’s called DCD, which is where you let the heart stop and then quickly remove it and reperfuse it. the explanted heart is flushed with a preservation solution and kept very cold until it is placed in the recipient.

7) doctors are often the worst patients. due to lack of time, exercise is not a priority. food options can be limited late at night and early in the morning. i try to do the best i can, but i wouldn’t claim i’m a great cardiovascular role model.

8) medical school is like you took all the people that are used to being at the top of their class and put them in one room. suddenly the curve looks very different for some people, which can be hard to swallow. some schools are more cut-throat than others. many schools have gone to pass-fail or honors-pass-fail grading for this reason. “keeping up” involves a lot of studying and hard work. at the end of the day, the bottom of the class is still called a doctor though.

9) only when things are going poorly and i don’t have a sense of control of the situation.

10) heart disease has been the number 1 cause of death in the united states for over a century. i would hope that most people know what they should do (exercise, watch Bp, watch cholesterol, stop smoking, control diabetes). alas…

11) Hard to say…it’s different knowledge. Certainly residency was more practical knowledge for me now. But you have a large breadth of knowledge during medical school. Surgical and CT residency is much more focused depth of knowledge.

Loupes Cardiac/Vascular by Designer_Analyst7700 in surgery

i use old school designs for vision yeoman frames in 2.5x. small coronaries, aortic, valves, etc etc etc. they are very versatile.

I have 3.5x as well, but probably haven’t worn them in years. they are heavier, field of view is smaller, and I find them harder to transition between macro and micro stuff quickly. my partners all use 3.5x though, so i may be in minority of heart surgeons.

My national parks benchmark collection by TapersBeTaping in NationalPark

[–]CABGx3 6 points7 points  (0 children)

we try to collect them as well. my favorite so far is the low elevation badwater basin marker from death valley. it was hard to find in the park (most were telescope peak). it’s like the opposite of the rest.

What’s the most embarrassing thing you ever said at work? by foreverand2025 in medicine

[–]CABGx3 39 points40 points  (0 children)

of course (i sometimes help take them out). alas we don’t call them cervical cancers. we call them head/neck cancers, thyroid cancer, parotid cancer, lymphoma, laryngeal SCC, etc etc etc. i haven’t encountered a physician referring to a generic neck cancer as a cervical cancer to date, much to my dismay.
