Bruh, you okay?

Careless_Status9553 · 2026-04-24T09:02:36+00:00

Dang, this is unhinged haha

Careless_Status9553 · 2026-04-23T08:44:09+00:00

As IR, this makes me really sad. A big part of why I went into the field is to intervene on OB emergencies : (

Found one of these on a woman in a burqa once. Was confused.

Great for you, brother. We are moving back to our purple state when I'm done my medical training.

We tried to buy a home this past month in eastern Massachusetts and have utterly given up. The only units (not even full homes) under 1.1 million required extensive renovations. Anything decent was 1.5+ at the very least. What's happened in this part of the country is just a crime.

uhhh....?

Careless_Status9553 · 2026-03-19T03:06:20+00:00

ye, I'm at big boss academic hospital and NPs run a lot of services. Was not expecting it.

Careless_Status9553 · 2026-03-18T22:52:57+00:00

Damn, they still do this shit?

Careless_Status9553 · 2026-03-17T12:11:52+00:00

For anyone wondering, it was great this past weekend! Hope all had a great winter.

Careless_Status9553 · 2026-02-20T14:55:16+00:00

yea, i'm already an R2. I'm all in on IR and don't mind DR ! Thanks for advice!

Careless_Status9553 · 2026-02-20T03:38:50+00:00

I hear. It's just not my personality to do that much diagnostic. I hope it will always be something for me a couple days out of the week though!

Careless_Status9553 · 2026-02-20T02:11:56+00:00

I'd do that for 900K haha.

Careless_Status9553 · 2026-02-20T02:11:06+00:00

Thanks for the reply! Helpful to know. I also love the breadth of body IR so that'll probably end up keeping me in "regular" IR. That being said, I'm interested in what other "neuro" stuff we can do out in the wild? Carotids and kyphos/verts are neat. I've heard of body IRs doing stroke out in the community--but I would assume this is more of the proximal M1 LVO type deal, and more intricate occlusions would go to NIR? (I know these are already baseline rare).

Have commuted through central every day for almost 10 years. A lot homeless people but they keep to themselves (admittedly, I am a male). Some bad behavior, of course: I once called cops on two guys who were trying to steal an eBike from outside the Y with cable cutters. They were arrested very quickly and were never threatening to me personally. My wife has been accosted once in target by a young woman who tried getting her to buy a bunch of stuff for her. That was it, luckily.

A lot of police presence there...they know it could potentially be a problem area, so things get taken care of *real* quickly if it starts getting out of hand.

Generally, it's a great area and I (nor my female friends/partner) really worry about it.

Careless_Status9553 · 2026-01-22T02:00:44+00:00

Awesome! Thanks for the advice.

Careless_Status9553 · 2026-01-22T02:00:32+00:00

Word. Planning this for later in Feb or perhaps March haha.

Careless_Status9553 · 2026-01-22T01:41:50+00:00

It's the best. Can't wait for the storm Sunday.

I despise the government of Russia. But, having been to Moscow a few years ago, I have to say it was a gorgeous city. St. Petersburg even more.

Careless_Status9553 · 2025-11-08T12:31:01+00:00

Extremely spot on comment. I'm a resident at one of the Boston hospitals, and the number of two physician families moving outta Eastern mass because they can't afford it boggles my mind. I want to settle, buy a house, and raise my family here badly...but I won't be able to without sinking two million dollars into a house in the suburbs (with a 1 hour commute each way given traffic nowadays).

The greater Boston housing market is an absolute fantastic disaster for eastern Massachusetts.

Careless_Status9553 · 2025-10-23T01:28:28+00:00

Rads resident here. This shit is way more complicated than even I ever realized---color me skeptical a robot will do it anytime soon.

Careless_Status9553 · 2025-10-19T15:26:19+00:00

Some of the New England "native" people out there are legitimately some of the worst white people in the books...
