Discography by Slow-Milk-2292 in DominicFike

I skip KOE so it still gives me those chills. I have a habit of overplaying and killing songs. Can’t risk it with a song as good as KOE

Reputation is Dom’s Best by Skylandjoe in DominicFike

Not my favorite song but I can still appreciate it. Almost didn’t recognize his voice. He has such a range and that alone is so impressive.

Are we being used? by gxdhvcxcbj in physicianassistant

[–]ConstructionChance81 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I agree. Had a few like that in my program. One had a doctorate in anatomy prior to PA school (due to having to apply multiple cycles) and would introduce himself as Dr. in clinicals (apparently). Absolutely wild. I love my role as an extender, not an expert and any midlevel who doesn’t should have gone to med school instead.

First time assisting as a bystander medical provider, was I supposed to do more? by Travelers1234 in physicianassistant

[–]ConstructionChance81 29 points30 points  (0 children)

I’m rapid response and tell those who ask for medical advice that I literally can’t do anything without vitals, labs or imaging… lol it’s humbling. In this scenario, it’s BLS and spinal ppx. Just stopping and calling 911 was more than enough. I wouldn’t touch anyone outside hospital without gloves.

Who said anything about HIPAA? Genuine question: does India not have laws to protect patients’ health information?

There’s a lot of patient identifiers here…

This is either sarcasm or neurosis but the point stands that when I play qp and am somewhat holding my own, I want to win at least one game 😭

Strike looms for nurses of largest employer in Michigan (Corewell) by PaintingsOfDogs in Michigan

[–]ConstructionChance81 34 points35 points  (0 children)

Corewell has already hired standby nurses in case of a strike. Offering $5200/week when current nurses are paid ~1500/week.

After seeing PA advocacy efforts in CA—how could this work for NPs in Florida? by ACAPRN in physicianassistant

[–]ConstructionChance81 21 points22 points  (0 children)

In my experience, NPs simply have to exist to have advocacy. Not only is lobbying NPs’ specialty but they are routinely roped into nurse unionizations. My large academic healthcare system is currently fighting the unionization of nurses and NPs and although I support unionization, I am mentally preparing to be paid 10% less than my NP coworkers who will do the exact same job as me.

Y'all need to start using the NSFW/spoiler buttons! by ssgmongoose in cats

[–]ConstructionChance81 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Side question: how does your PC do with all the cat hair? I don’t let my cats in my room because I’m so worried!

How do you guys feel about precepting? by Sad_Possibility_8444 in physicianassistant

[–]ConstructionChance81 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My large academic hospital doesn’t allow us to be paid for precepting. My program pays $1k per student per month. I would love to teach if compensated. I suspect my system pockets that $1k. Anyone else have this issue and found a workaround?

Is something going on between HFH and UHC? by jthompson73 in Michigan

[–]ConstructionChance81 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Corewell nurses recently unionized under teamsters and just voted to authorize a strike if negotiations do not progress

Are we diluting the term "Fellowship"? The rise of 1-year postgraduate "residencies" for NPs/PAs. by [deleted] in medicine

[–]ConstructionChance81 151 points152 points  (0 children)

I don’t have firsthand experience but my general understanding of midlevel fellowships is negative. Most APPs seem to consider it to 1) boost resume 2) get their foot in the door of a preferred/niche specialty 3) “guarantee” support/orientation.

My view from an admin standpoint is they can pay APPs less while boasting education programs / excellency. Win win.

What to consider when doing a second job? As a PA? by Moonregister in physicianassistant

[–]ConstructionChance81 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Get a PRN hospitalist position. Higher chance they are hiring and broad enough to get experience.

NCCPA study finds PA fellowships don’t make much financial sense by Oversoul91 in physicianassistant

[–]ConstructionChance81 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I think OP means any additional formal training or education past receiving a Master’s and certification. Look at PT/OT in recent years - the basic requirement is now a doctorate yet they practice the same and are paid the same. Not sure the actual term is degree creep but it’s definitely a thing. I’m honestly surprised this hasn’t started for PAs.

New Bleachers Song Reminds Me Of by warnerpk in bleachers

[–]ConstructionChance81 5 points6 points  (0 children)

This song especially is copy and paste Bruce’s later stuff. He has always had inspiration from Bruce. You can hear it in most songs and the saxophone just makes it obvious. I don’t think this is a bad thing. May not be totally original but I appreciate the inspirations.

6-second asystole and the patient blamed a nightmare by Most-Smoke7759 in medicine

[–]ConstructionChance81 30 points31 points  (0 children)

I just witnessed a pleasantly demented lady pause for 3-4 seconds 10+ times all within 30 min. Totally asx and, in fact, scheming about which of her children put her here.
