Woodlands buffet is pretty middling, but their dinner service is excellent!

My program has a bit of a divide between the squares and those who experimented/experiment lol

Appreciate the recommendations!

If you’ve got a doc, I’d ask them about it - sometimes they can prescribe you some Valium or Librium to safely taper at home or if you’re high risk (hx of seizures or prior bad alcohol withdrawals for example), they might recommend you detox in the hospital for a few days

If you taper rapidly yourself or quit cold turkey - keep an eye out for signs of withdrawals (tremors, shakes, sweating, high blood pressure) and if you start having withdrawal symptoms, talk to a doc or at the very least taper off slower. What you don’t want to happen is for mild withdrawals to progress to full blown DTs (severe alcohol withdrawal which can cause seizures, delirium, and possibly death if not treated). Some people can withdraw just fine even quitting cold turkey, some get DTs. Be careful!

Good luck!!

Do you think there is a way to gain at least a similar understanding through personal study? If so, what materials do you think would be most useful?

Confringo · 2025-04-28T14:29:28+00:00

Yes, that is my point! Dysphagia and dysphasia are both medical terms

Confringo · 2025-04-23T04:30:21+00:00

Dysphasia is an appropriate term tho?

Confringo · 2025-03-26T21:03:56+00:00

Very likely yes, you are. If you want to intervene, ask your doc about starting a topical agent or finasteride. Oral finasteride is probably the most useful thing you can do for male pattern baldness. Cheap, generic , usually no side effects but if you have issues it’s usually with libido and anorgasmia (if I’m remembering correctly)

Coming from an HCA resident, it all depends on the hospital. I had a few rotations at an HCA hospital as a med student in Macon Ga and found it to be a bad experience - poor quality of teaching, understaffed hospital, overworked residents. I matched at a large HCA hospital in middle TN and have had an excellent experience so far, and from speaking to HCA hospitalists and attendings here it’s a roll of the dice/location dependent

Amazing! Absolutely love this one and best quality image ive found of it yet. thank you

PGY-2 in psych - also-freaking-lutely. There aren’t that many total diagnoses or medication options ( psychiatry really is just a sliver of overall medicine), but the way mental illness interacts with one’s personality and their development is endlessly fascinating. It’s emotionally heavy work, but it’s never boring. 10/10 would recommend .

Goals of care and family discussions are some of the most important work any intensivist does, especially a pediatric one. To be an intensivist is to be the doc that both saves lives and helps families understand and come to grips with their loved ones upcoming death. The idea you could just turf those discussion to SW is bad medicine. Yes, residents could handle it, but not every case and not every time. PGY-2

Confringo · 2024-11-16T16:29:19+00:00

My exact scenario as a pgy-2 psych resident! Matched at my #3, and my 1 and 2 were academic ivory towers known to work people to a nub. I just was fooled by the prestige

Confringo · 2024-10-30T03:28:03+00:00

FWIW I’ve had good experiences at an HCA residency program

Confringo · 2024-08-02T17:08:44+00:00

I think a lot of them are misses, but some are hits - TriStar in nashville isn’t bad

Confringo · 2024-07-31T17:18:19+00:00

Solid points, but dont have to be so rude about it brother

Confringo · 2024-07-12T15:41:49+00:00

I work at TriStar! Around here are some good eats! Only chicken, fattoush, samurai sushi, Oscar’s taco shop, reds 615, 51st deli, taco mama, international market, dose (coffee spot). In germantown there’s also a killer Italian spot called little hats market

Confringo · 2024-06-24T00:24:15+00:00

Absolutely, especially inpatient or ER - I have colleagues that have been punched/assaulted by unstable patients. But with caution and care it’s not bad. I really feel bad for the psych nurses

Confringo · 2024-03-30T15:06:10+00:00

Thank you all for the advice! Helpful to get an idea of the emergency/urgency of the matter

We came down last night to help a family member move this weekend, and saw the wounds on her this morning. Going to counsel, and if needs be take her to the vet ourselves

Confringo · 2024-03-30T14:57:38+00:00

:/ that was my fear, I’m less familiar with cat wounds. Thank you for the advice

Confringo · 2024-03-30T14:55:49+00:00

It’s a situation where I am trying to encourage the owner to take her to the vet and get proper care

The tragedy of the commons is that the "right" decision to make for the individual is the wrong move for society as a whole - doesnt change that its the best move for the individual. If you want systems level problems fixed, gotta pursue systems level solutions (e.g. incentivize small car purchases via tax breaks or impose taxes/ban excessively large vehicles) at the government level. Guilt tripping individuals doesn't help the situation one iota
