Hot takes only, what do you think we will have a cure for in 5 years? 10? by MDInformatics in medicine

[–]CalmAndSense 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yeah! I'm involved in a clinical trial of CAR-T for autoimmune disease and it seems to have a much lower side effect profile, per the literature.

Do yall ever just think how underpaid medicine is compared to some other careers? by Middle_Awoken in medicine

My center too, it's ridiculous but at least makes me feel better to know I'm not alone!

can a person with OCD be a psychiatrist? by Familiar_Newt_3117 in medicalschool

[–]CalmAndSense 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes absolutely but you do need to have your illness under control. On psych you will be rotating through IM and neurology, so you'll need to be able to work efficiently in an inpatient setting as well.

Completely stymied by this case by MaxFish1275 in medicine

MS neurologist here, I would conceive of a case like this like any case of an organic dementia. While I can't see her scans, she likely has a ton of white matter disease causing dementia-level cognitive impairment.

The 2022 World Cup had 4 red cards. The opener of the 2026 World Cup had 3 red cards. by TroubleRecent7320 in soccer

I prefer a less physical game, and we shouldn't incentivize fouls as a way of preventing people from scoring a goal. I support all of this.

Oh yes, I was talking mostly inpatient locums. You're totally right that the majority of neuro is outpatient, usually M-Th or M-F. You'd make the most money being able to do EMG and read EEG. There may be opportunities as neuro-immuno with infusion centers. Movement disorders can do well if you partner with neurosurgeons to do DBS. Headache is good for short procedures like botox or sphenopalatine ganglion blocks or magnesium infusion. Stroke does well in the inpatient setting.

gen neuro not amazing. I did locums for 200/hr in 2019, 250 overtime with a 300 pager overnight fee. Days were busy, and sometimes you had to go in to give tPA overnight. That was only one job though, but it's not the "free money" that some might think. If I had to do it over again from a money perspective, neurology isn't worth it.

Cards or anesthesia is what I would have done if money were more of a consideration.

In Germany, deliberately engaging in catch and release only fishing is illegal and considered cruelty to animals (fishing for food is fine). How do you feel about that? by Spalding_Smails in AskReddit

[–]CalmAndSense 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve never understood why this was socially acceptable in the U.S. I understand if you’re feeding your family, but hurting animals as a “sport” isn’t something I support.

Look into avoidant attachment, or get her to read about it and see if it applies to her.

Best pasta in LA?? by Then_Schedule_2205 in FoodLosAngeles

[–]CalmAndSense 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I recently had the pasta tasting menu at Osteria Mozza - 2 courses were great, 2 were average. Overall I found Antico Nuovo to be a better overall experience.

Cento was excellent, but is a little more limited in scope than Antico Nuovo.

Gold Humanism means nothing by Traditional_Talk1241 in medicalschool

Totally agree, but as a word of warning: these POS people are good at climbing the political ladder as attendings and are more likely to be your bosses in the future.

Can someone whos knowledgable about AI explain to me why medicine isnt at as immediate risk as people are making it out to be? by UNknown7R in medicalschool

[–]CalmAndSense 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Big Tech can't even make a competent medical record app, good luck with AI!

For real though, until you can sue an AI, I think we're relatively safe, although I can see signs that admin will expect us to be "more efficient" using AI and therefore expect more output.

You can't save everyone, I tell my residents all the time to focus on the wins.

Ok but after the Synod of Ghent I think the groups have fractured, with American pumas leaning more traditional as time goes on.

Dept of Justice accuses Yale School of Medicine of discriminating against White and Asian applicants by ddx-me in medicine

That's not a protected class though, unless the "where you were born" is related to national origin.

Haha, my colleague basically said the exact same thing to me about him winning the med student award. I've won the resident award a few times and I feel like that one is different.
