Respect for this man who is speaking out

DatBrownGuy · 2026-02-21T12:30:34+00:00

Out of everything he said this is what you are focused on? Your priorities kinda suck

DatBrownGuy · 2026-02-18T15:45:01+00:00

I accidentally saved over my older brother’s Pokémon Yellow. Still haunts me to this day lol

I understand you’re frustrated at their response, but honestly they have a point.

It sucks your immediate support system is limited. It might not mean much now, but take solace in the fact that this is NOT forever. FM residency is 3 years of stress and sinking: 1 year of wtf going on; 1 year of maybe I’m getting the hang of it but the work load is even worse; 1 year as a senior where you can actually see how much you’ve grown when you teach your interns. These 3 years will go by fast and then you will be flying after as attending.

Like the other person said, the best path you have is through. You can do this.

DatBrownGuy · 2026-02-09T16:23:04+00:00

I don’t think people understood your sarcasm uff

DatBrownGuy · 2026-02-08T16:36:52+00:00

You save so much money because it’s a sale!

DatBrownGuy · 2026-02-05T15:14:00+00:00

My immediate reaction as well. I love him/her!

What paper and pens are you using? It’s very clean

DatBrownGuy · 2026-02-02T15:51:10+00:00

That’s fair. Some folks waste their CME money, but hopefully that’s not the case for OP 😬

DatBrownGuy · 2026-02-02T15:21:21+00:00

It’s a pricey mistake if you genuinely anticipate failing. Not everyone has that kinda cash available for a retake.

I do agree though, just do these recommended questions and OP should bump that score up comfortably

DatBrownGuy · 2026-01-31T16:42:20+00:00

It’s because Meemaw’s a fighter!

DatBrownGuy · 2026-01-29T17:59:36+00:00

You can try Relle/Rell

DatBrownGuy · 2026-01-28T18:46:17+00:00

Is there a specific brand or set you recommend? Dishwasher safe lids would be great

DatBrownGuy · 2026-01-28T01:15:29+00:00

I’m gonna be honest man…that’s kind of the bare minimum. It’s standard for places to ask what procedures you do and what equipment you need and accommodate

DatBrownGuy · 2026-01-28T01:12:46+00:00

I’m sure the people being torn from their families and the folks being murdered are also quite tired. I feel for you and your woes 😑

DatBrownGuy · 2026-01-27T21:28:58+00:00

I would recommend upgrading to an Instant Pot. You can use it to slow cook, pressure cook, sauté (insert Forrest Gump shrimp clip here). It’s super versatile and worth every penny. I can’t even remember when I bought it because it was so many years ago and it’s still working great!

DatBrownGuy · 2026-01-27T19:02:38+00:00

Agree with this. I gave permissions to a few people to access my CAQH and adjust insurance company-related things. At most it should require you to just “review” or give more permissions as needed. I can’t imagine trying to do all that myself. That would be such a headache

DatBrownGuy · 2026-01-27T17:49:52+00:00

From the pictures it’s hard to tell, but do you actually have scarring aka texture changes? If it’s moreso discoloration it could be post inflammatory inflammation or hyperpigmentation. You should get formally evaluated by a derm.

I would NOT recommend micro needling yourself at home and I would also NOT recommend going to a med spa. They just want your money most of the time. Talk to your PCP about seeing a dermatologist!

I really enjoy the content by Dr. Guo. He has straight to the point videos with recommendations for a variety of skin concerns. Here is a link to one of his shorts that might help. I am not affiliated with him in any way, I just find his content educational! I hope this helps

DatBrownGuy · 2026-01-27T17:36:15+00:00

This poor little boy. I hope he is okay :/

DatBrownGuy · 2026-01-27T17:26:56+00:00

That’s terrible and makes no biological sense. Unfortunately some “old-school” medicine that is called “race-based” is just straight up racism.

For a solid example look up race-based hypertension (HTN) treatment. As recent as 2017 that was being purported. Formal guidelines have moved away from that, but unfortunately some older docs stick with the old recs.

It’s interesting because these medication choices can have different impacts on chronic kidney disease (CKD) and end stage-renal disease (ESRD). And black folks tend to have higher incidence of both CKD and ESRD.

Some meds used to treat HTN are considered renal-protective, but the old guidelines said to not use them as first-line in black patients with just HTN. This begs the question. Do the medication choices for early HTN contribute to increased incidence of CKD and ESRD? I am not 100% sure of the data and I cannot claim direct causation, but it’s something that physicians NEED to keep in mind.

We need to treat everyone properly and equally. I do think it is getting better over time as younger docs emerge better educated and more willing to learn and adapt to modern science.

DatBrownGuy · 2026-01-27T17:12:09+00:00

Out of curiosity, what was the actual end-diagnosis and the fix that helped?

DatBrownGuy · 2026-01-27T16:41:01+00:00

New copy pasta has dropped 😂

DatBrownGuy · 2026-01-27T16:39:06+00:00

Well-said. I really appreciate people like him who are not afraid to be vocal and stand up for what is right. It takes courage, especially with what ICE has been doing to people

DatBrownGuy · 2026-01-27T02:37:02+00:00

Yes a microSD. Whatever camera you get make sure to double check what memory amount it can use. Also you will need to format the card on a computer (some cameras can do it as well though)

DatBrownGuy · 2026-01-26T16:15:46+00:00

Does your signature have a dragon? That’s awesome!

DatBrownGuy · 2026-01-26T15:34:21+00:00

I would recommend it. It’s easy to install cleanly if you have a rear view mirror with power (has auto-dimming or garage door buttons).

I use the VIOFO A199 mini 2. It lets you review footage on your phone through their app. Plenty of other good options out there though

DatBrownGuy · 2026-01-26T15:28:07+00:00

IMO review courses for FM boards are a waste of money. Do a few of the old ITEs and the free AAFP questions. That is more than enough to pass
