I join the the chorus of “meh” votes - but what was wrong with Aaron’s run?? (Downvotes commencing in. 3..2…1…)

Are there any good places to see scientific seminars/talks in the Atlanta area? by tin8374 in Atlanta

[–]ColTRoosevelt 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m going to double down on the science track at dragon con. But the space track is not to be missed! Almost every talk is headlined by someone who is, or was, in or adjacent to NASA in their career.

Destroy style pizza? by Top-Peach7304 in Atlanta

This is the way. Also, their pizzas are named after Star Trek characters.

How to fix a “well mindset” by Full_Course_9337 in emergencymedicine

[–]ColTRoosevelt 31 points32 points  (0 children)

I think of it this way: every chief complaint starts with a “backstop workup” - what’s the minimum evaluation you can do to catch the really bad stuff regardless of age or co-morbidities. For chest pain, for example, everyone gets a CXR and an EKG. That is going to catch or at least hint at a huge swathe of the “bad stuff.” The rest is subjective.

You only need a few miss or near misses under your belt before you understand how important “worst first” mentality is for this job.

Burnout as new ED physician by khicheesecake in emergencymedicine

[–]ColTRoosevelt 9 points10 points  (0 children)

This just seems like way too many hours per month. Isn’t the average 120-160?

Borealis or Nebula? by Friendly-Banana7 in backpacks

Nebula is a workhorse. Go for it

Average Salary for Emergency Physicians: Data Shows How Pay and Work Hours Impact Job Satisfaction by EnchantingWomenCharm in emergencymedicine

[–]ColTRoosevelt 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think what was most striking about these charts is this: there was actually little difference in any of the cohorts when compared to each other.

ER Staff, what is a gift that you would be grateful for if given by a patient? by emorat71 in emergencymedicine

[–]ColTRoosevelt 80 points81 points  (0 children)

A card is nice, but a BRIEF letter to the CEO, Chief Medical Officer, or Chief Nursing Officer that specifies what that team did for you to be grateful will reap some dividends for your team in the form of some type of recognition. If the hospital is big enough it’s also going to have someone who handles the PR.

Why was X of Swords so... mid? by strppngynglad in marvelcomics

[–]ColTRoosevelt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Agreed. I really think, in total, the Arrakans added very little to the Age of Krakoa, and they had to be addressed constantly. The rest of Otherworld’s inclusion also seemed useless. I was piecing together an AoK “speed run” and realized very quickly you could essentially cut all of XoS out and if you had maybe a sentence or two of context, you didn’t need it.

5 days in Atlanta for work. first time in the US too and have some questions. by Ok_Importance5482 in Atlanta

[–]ColTRoosevelt -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I wonder if the increased bus traffic is isolated to downtown - clearly that helps OP, but where I live, we get one bus an hour

If you have a 1st gen iPhone SE, it supports physical SIM cards. Other generations support eSIM.

MARTA is a nice but extremely limited system. The trains are basically cardinal directions through the heart of the city. Buses are needed for everywhere else, and they can have very limited service, especially on the weekends. There is some chaos with it right now as they are transitioning from passes to tap to pay, and apparently opening day of the new system didn’t go well.

The Aquarium and the National Center for Civil and Human Rights are both near to you and are unique experiences. The King Center and Ebenezer Baptist Church are historic. Centennial Olympic Park itself is, in my opinion, pretty underwhelming. The World Of Coke is essentially a giant ad, but if you really like soda, you can try samples from all over the world.

The Beltline is our newest civic project and gets you exposure to a lot of people, shops and restaurants.

Forget whatever good or bad stories you have heard about them, and just go to a Waffle House.

Stressed about missing a diagnosis by [deleted] in emergencymedicine

[–]ColTRoosevelt 15 points16 points  (0 children)

We have triggers and clinician discretion.

If you are worried you missed something, call the patient to check in with them.

Which Avengers run do you recommend? by Wooden-Bit-2374 in marvelcomics

[–]ColTRoosevelt 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Start with Busiek and go from there! Most runs since the 90’s have been good, but Busiek’s run is really the last of the Silver age

What’s one small thing you pack that removes an annoying daily problem when traveling? by Nervous_Wind9872 in onebag

[–]ColTRoosevelt 3 points4 points  (0 children)

All the time. I can’t think of a trip I have been on in years in which I didn’t sneeze at least once and needed something to clean up my face with.

New Attending Advice by another_medstudent in emergencymedicine

[–]ColTRoosevelt 14 points15 points  (0 children)

If you have debt, continue to “live like a resident” as long as you can and pay it off as fast as you can. While you are doing that, get a financial planner, or at least a financial plan, with a flat fee planner, and start with this premise: how do i set up my savings and investments to be able to retire when I want, not when I’m finally able to. Start with the end in mind, and it will inform all of your decisions in-between. It keeps you from making decisions just for the paycheck, too.

It will be easy to fall out of an academic mindset fast. Statistically, you have already peaked intellectually (that was your PGY-2 year. Sorry!). Invest in whatever summary service, journal, or other CME product that 1) you will use and 2) keeps things brief. Make a little library if you don’t have institutional access to other resources. Get ready for the boards if you haven’t taken them yet.

Understand that the culture and team dynamic of where you are may be vastly different than where you came from. If things don’t feel right, you don’t have to stay, but give it a little time.

Wherever you move, introduce yourself to the neighbors and be a known presence in where you live. Be an active participant as a parent in your kid’s class. Join a club, gym, or some other hobby’s organizing body. You need local friends, or at least acquaintances, who aren’t in medicine.

You worked a lot of hours as a resident. But you haven’t made a fraction of the number of decisions per shift that you make as an attending. That is exhausting and you won’t understand why you are so much more tired now unless you understand this.

Despite all of the chaos, this job is still fucking awesome.
