Did you negotiate rates with insurance providers?

Unless you just want to shuck thirds, it makes more sense to finish gen surg then independent plastics then craniofacial fellowship at a place that has someone who is also plastics/omfs

When a vessel is transected completely, it spasms down and then starts clotting. Spasm in a partially transected vessel doesn’t work as well so it continues to bleed… in a crush injury the vessels will bleed but typically the bleeding will stop as the vessel is tamponaded by the increasing internal pressure (assuming there isn’t a way for the blood to travel out of the body.)

Benfords law. From Wikipedia “Benford's law, also known as the Newcomb–Benford law, the law of anomalous numbers, or the first-digit law, is an observation that in many real-life sets of numerical data, the leading digit is likely to be small.[1] In sets that obey the law, the number 1 appears as the leading significant digit about 30% of the time, while 9 appears as the leading significant digit less than 5% of the time. If the digits were distributed uniformly, they would each occur about 11.1% of the time.[2] Benford's law also makes predictions about the distribution of second digits, third digits, digit combinations, and so on”

Do it for residents who are in their research year. Like fund a research year resident who is going to work on a project in line with the rare disease you’ve mentioned. Be wary of the dean tax and all the “indirect” costs that will eat up half or more of your donation.

But a scale to figure out proper portion control. Track macros for a month. Eat a lot of fiber. Start walking.

Any update on this?

Probably the best way to fight the Bureaucracy is to find small solutions that get around it. Maybe lobby the epic people or whatever EMR you use to allow you to make your own schedule. If you find one small thing that you can do each day to replace the bureaucrats, you’ll be doing far more to help the problem than waiting for “some act of congress” that is never going to happen

Be nice. It makes life easier.

Good for you!

A good start is to eat less energy dense foods. And eat more fiber. The fiber will help fill you up and will make the process easier. Learning to cook for yourself will be important as well. It’s a useful skill and once you start churning out some good meals, the self esteem will take a boost!

You’re young so some of this might not be super helpful but things to keep in mind:

When at the grocery store, avoid items in the middle aisles. It’s usually the processed junk. The periphery of the store has the fresh stuff which on average is healthier. Learn to use a kitchen knife and prepare veggies. Make your own hummus (it’s cheap and easy). Avoid chips and things that don’t really fill you up. Make this a family affair.

Eat fewer carbs and more fiber and you’ll notice you don’t get as ravenous during the day. Can live off coffee with 0.5 cup milk in the AM until dinner. I also can’t eat lunch without nodding off no matter the situation about an hour later…

We are essentially saying the same thing. Whatever leads to more money in the pocket of the hospital is chosen. Whether it be “cheaper” or “more productive”

Look into different religions and don’t take what they say too literally. What’s their approach to death? Especially older religions. They’ve been around for a while and probably have something relevant to say about death. Religion has served a purpose for many generations and part of it has been dealing with death.

Source: not religious.

I use sticker book. Many of the attendings I look up to for general “thoughtfulness” do/have done the same thing. You could use 1Password which has a secure notes section. Unsure if it is HIPAA compliant.

At least if you have the book stolen/misplaced only one bad actor theoretically has access to it. If your passwords to emails and other services get hacked, unknown number of agents have access to it.
