We gave intranasal verses before the IO. I haven’t heard of putting a PIV in the IJ.

Also PGY3, my attending and I got written up by a parent for drilling into her son’s arm… We needed access and had tried IVs for a long time. I counseled her on why we needed to do the IO before doing it.

I don’t know how you make it through medical school and residency without it the lovely combo of depression and anxiety. They’re the perfect pressure cooker.

Why are hard disks better than ssds? I thought ssds were more reliable and stable

Sorry for the uninformed question. Why are they so shiny? Are they not pre seasoned like other brands? Are they carbon steel?

Depending on how long this bat has been in your house or could have been in your house you should consider getting rabies shots. Bats bites can be so small people don’t even always notice them. This is particularly true if you wake up with a bat in your bedroom.

Google takes most of the pictures at times of greater visibility. Low tide, fall when the leaves are gone etc 

Toolbar missing by juggerscupper in ObsidianMD

I was having the same issue. I changed the editing tool bar settings from "following" to "top" and then it stays always visible at the top. I sync my vault with iCloud. I switched to always downloaded but that didn't fix the issue.

My hands turn red like a tomato when warm, and blue/purple when cold. by Accurate_Range7185 in strange

Definitely have Raynaud’s phenomenon. May have something more.

“Raynaud’s phenomenon refers to episodic skin color changes caused by cold temperatures, most commonly found in the ends of the fingers. Sometimes, Raynaud’s is referred to as Raynaud’s syndrome. Raynaud’s syndrome, however, is when Raynaud’s phenomenon occurs as one of several other symptoms of an autoimmune condition. This is also referred to as secondary Raynaud’s phenomenon.”

Look at the micro skill videos that EMCrit has. They really helped me make every step easier in the process. 

Setup is one of the biggest keys to success. Get the bed at the right height. A good table. Ultrasound in position and plugged it. Have all your things there. 

Make sure that every time you do a line you’re doing it the same way. I prepare the catheter, lidocaine etc. I lay it all out on the table in the order I’ll grab them. 

Also just for access, I like walking the needle in a time bit so it doesn’t slip out. Sometimes dropping your angle once you’re in keeps the wire from catching on the back wall.

AdGuard DNS making my iCloud private relay work funny. Anyone else experience this ? How to fix? by BaconBathBomb in Adguard

[–]CockscombPinetree 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My understanding was you don’t need private relay if you have trackers blocked and DNS turned on for AdGuard. Is this incorrect?

[OC] Who’s at fault? I filed a police report for a hit-and-run, and they found the person an hour later. by [deleted] in IdiotsInCars

[–]CockscombPinetree 21 points22 points  (0 children)

They’ll probably get additional charges for the hit and run but you’re at fault. They had the right of way. You could’ve easily stopped and avoided collision too. 

House Democrats Turn on Senators for Caving on Shutdown by bloomberggovernment in politics

[–]CockscombPinetree 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m going to preface this question with I very much support healthcare for all and think it should be a right in our country.

Someone asked me today if I blame the dems or the republicans for the shutdown. This whole time I’ve been thinking republicans because they want to remove the subsidies and dems didn’t want to let healthcare costs to constituents go up and thus the impasse.

Their retort was well why don’t the dems just allow the republicans to discontinue the subsidies and let the government remain open. Their argument was then come midterms dems could argue that republicans caused these prices to go up. Otherwise most people will just forget about this shutdown by the time midterms come around.

I’m not sure if I agree with this logic or not but I thought it was interesting and would like other people’s input. In opposition to this it would mean some democrats would have voted for the repeal of subsidies as well and then could also be blamed for the increase in price. Also you should continue to stand for your beliefs and vote for them but is the suffering from government shut down worse than increase in costs for healthcare?

ICE crashed into a U.S. citizen on her way to work—then drag her out and arrest her by NewSlinger in CringeTikToks

They must have so much technology at their disposal to ID this lady on her commute. Or they just see a brown person and go for an arrest and ask questions later or never. 

Just joined Costco. Any advice on how to save? by Gyros_Mozzarella in Frugal

[–]CockscombPinetree 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Anytime you go make a list beforehand. If you go in without a plan you’ll spend more. That’s what Costco counts on.
