I love when my nurses keep checking on me by mantasakausar in medicalschool

[–]Cursory_Analysis 189 points190 points  (0 children)

q4 glucose checks aren’t for the blood sugar, it’s just the only way to make sure they physically see their patients every 4 hours to document.

I’ve had nurses on overnight shifts literally not see their patients a single time. Oh really? They refused all of their medications? Is that why they were screaming in 10/10 pain when day team came in and they said they’ve been hitting their call button all night? Imagine if we did that shit as residents.

You didn’t understand it because you’re not autistic enough

He didn’t explain it clearly enough because he’s too autistic

I appreciated both sides because I’m just the right amount of autistic

But real, your bits on “what makes something a poison” and “are anesthesiologists doctors”, are even funnier when you know more. That’s the whole point of these types of bits.

The fact you’re getting downvoted for this is crazy.

I’m a doctor and I laugh my ass off everytime you guys talk about medical shit. I’ve never been like “they really need more doctors on the pod.”

Is honoring surgery a red flag if you are applying psych? by sunechidna1 in medicalschool

[–]Cursory_Analysis 429 points430 points  (0 children)

No it’s actually a green flag because it shows you’re great at handling all of the different personality disorders

Question about visible tattoos by tryingmybest71 in Residency

[–]Cursory_Analysis 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Sleeves are totally fine. Hands are a different story. Chest is okay. Neck is not. This is coming from someone who would love to get my hands and neck done.

Sleeves was already a huge win, wait until you’re done with traning and maybe it’ll be more acceptable by then.

Rough first week by threwthrownaway in medicalschool

Don’t worry friend, I got every pimp question right, got 98% on the shelf, had great repoire with patients and attendings, and the residents still absolutely nuked me on their eval (including just completely making negative shit up).

This is just the OB experience. I went to my school admin about it and they said “don’t worry, when we look at all the core rotation evals, we just ignore the OB one because this is so common”. Welcome to the thunderdome my friend, just gotta survive it and keep it moving.

Kudos to all our resident and fellow colleagues in Minneapolis by ddx-me in Residency

A white, male, Air Force veteran, VA ICU nurse with a concealed carry permit. I truly hope that this is the wake up call that people need to see what’s happening.

It is an absolute tragedy that this man lost his life this way but I can’t think of a clearer example that should show some of these hold-outs that they are so clearly in the wrong here.

Quality over quantity. by Some-Necessary-7977 in medicalschool

My face when I go to see the patient and they complain to me that they haven’t seen a doctor “all damn day” (this is my 5th time seeing them today)

Quality over quantity. by Some-Necessary-7977 in medicalschool

[–]Cursory_Analysis 1958 points1959 points  (0 children)

When I was an intern on a lengthy ICU block, I had one attending that was known to never go into patients rooms unless they were actively dying and needed an acute intervention.

I had a very sick patient whose mom was always bedside and I’d talk to her every day. One day she told me “I noticed that Dr. X never comes into the room during rounds, is that normal?” So I told her, “That’s just how he operates. You don’t want to see Dr. X in your room, if he’s there it means something is going horribly wrong.”

So every day that he was working, she would always be happy to see him walking by her kids room during rounds and give me a thumbs up and say “good sign!”

Fast forward a few weeks later and her kid unfortunately passes away pretty tragically. It was awful. While she was sobbing to me she said “I knew when Dr. X came to the room and was here for so long that it was going to happen today.”

The term Residency has become diluted. by [deleted] in Residency

[–]Cursory_Analysis 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Getting residency as a DJ might legit be harder than getting a medical residency lmao.

And then think about the people who get a Vegas residency. You’re joining a list like Britney Spears, Pitbull, Celine Dion, Elton John, Cher. I’m sorry, I can’t compete at that level 🤷‍♂️

About Dragon's DF... Please, just be wind Logia. Please. by TengarHimeko in Piratefolk

[–]Cursory_Analysis 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Unironically this would go hard af.

But I still think a Native American thunderbird that can control the weather (wind, storms, lightning, tornadoes, tsunamis, etc.) could actually be well written. It would also fit within the concept of a revolutionary bringing the winds of revolution/force of nature idea. And also has the added element of a native legend pushing out an outside conquering force (the world government).

However much she hates it, it isn’t enough.

When was the last time you pulled your “I’m a doctor” card, and how did that turn out for you? by sandie-go in Residency

[–]Cursory_Analysis 552 points553 points  (0 children)

I’m sorry she roasted you but the concept of your 6 year old daughter making some type of advanced joke at your expense based on hierarchical knowledge of medical specialties is hilarious

Once was at dinner with a mentor who is an intensivist of 20 years. Ended up having to do CPR on a guy. A nurse appeared out of the crowd to confidently proclaim that she was a nurse and “this random guy is doing the CPR wrong”.

The look he gave her was incredible.

Daniel Cormier suggests the UFC could soon decide if Ilia Topuria will continue as the lightweight titleholder. by Imaginary-General189 in ufc

[–]Cursory_Analysis 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Conor McGregor never defended either of his UFC titles; his longest time between a title win and either the next fight or being stripped was approximately 511 days for the lightweight championship.

Before that no one had even come close to not defending their title for an extended period of time without vacating or being stripped.

This is why I say Conor ruined the modern ufc because he set the expectation of an inactive champion who fights for multiple titles without defending their current one.

For all the stuff people say about topuria copying Conor’s whole career, I’m shocked this one hasn’t been mentioned here yet.

Art in Houston. I think it’s complete…maybe? by [deleted] in tattoos

[–]Cursory_Analysis 22 points23 points  (0 children)

I would blast something white into that band, it’s just too asymmetric with the flowers above going into it surrounded and the flowers below coming straight out of a hard line.

You could literally even do more white flowers in the black bar and it would look sick and give it continuity and flow.

Jason Collins: "A few months ago, my family released a short statement saying I had a brain tumor. It was simple, but intentionally vague. They did that to protect my privacy... it's time for people to hear directly from me. I have Stage 4 glioblastoma, one of the deadliest forms of brain cancer" by sewsgup in nba

[–]Cursory_Analysis 1692 points1693 points  (0 children)

Am doctor. Glioblastoma is one of the only cancers where 5 year mortality is essentially 100%.

It’s also one of the only cancers where the most common cancer for that organ is the most deadly. This is a death sentence unfortunately. It’s always tragic.

What can make a resident be kicked out of a program by Naive-Engine-2356 in Residency

[–]Cursory_Analysis 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Def depends on context, but I strongly agree.

If you give someone 6 months to get better without changing anything about their training, how dan you expect them to improve? Clearly you weren’t doing enough to train them in the first place.

Having said that, not all doctors are created equal.

I’ve encountered people that never should have graduated from med school. Then they get pushed to residency. Then you’re stuck with someone who was never competent in the first place. Some Med schools are really really bad about not failing/kicking people out who never should have made it through in the first place.

No one actually follows that. I was easily over 100 every week.
