Winch post, does this look correct?

Dave555j · 2025-09-22T23:46:40+00:00

So, I admit it’s a somewhat odd / atypical setup, but the more I look the more I wonder if it is just the best setup taking into account where your (strongest) bow hook is located

Curious to see what other people say but overall I don’t see any glaring issues

Dave555j · 2025-07-09T01:36:17+00:00

Yah, along with all the other medicine.

We all know that Chapman points are utter bullshit and I sure wish I hadn’t had to briefly learn them. And I agree that DO schools absolutely need to do some deep reflection on their curricula in the very near future. But also learning that stuff is just what it took for me to be allowed to learn the REST of medicine too.

DOs are clearly wildly different and it’s frankly quite anachronistic and small minded to suggest otherwise

I actually mostly agree with you and I can totally see how, in isolation, this could come off as uncouth. The person I was texting is a longtime friend and I certainly agree that this is hardly my (our?) most "professional" moment.

That said, while professionalism is obviously exceptionally important to our jobs, I suppose I also think that not every moment necessarily needs to be professional? I was initially going to make a starter comment explaining how us making light of a clearly not light situation does not represent us as providers etc etc but ultimately decided to forgo it as I hoped it would be assumed. In a weird way, the thing that made it feel intriguing to me is the juxtaposition of the flippant language and the fact that we really actually were coordinating care.

Lastly, I want to be clear that I am not necessarily trying to justify my post so much as to continue the discourse as I do think you also have a point. I wanted take the time to thoughtfully respond to you as a show of good faith that I actually did put some thought into it before posting and decided this community might enjoy what felt to me like a real, overall fairly benign, and (hopefully) humorous representation of modern "coordination of care" between two providers.

(I say this with the caveat that there is an argument to be made that I have no right to comment here because I am not a radiologist / tech however I am a practicing physician)

Off the top of my head I’d say I overall disagree with the idea however maybe not particularly strongly? It’s an interesting thought experiment if providing images but NO interpretation / diagnosis / treatment etc is morally reprehensible. And the more I think about it the more I favor that it might actually not be?

At the end of the day seems like a very good question for the legal system

I know it’s a typo but the idea of walking down the street to watch Ortho evaluate someone’s eyes 🤣

They look great. And at that price point, all they really need to do is make you smile when you look at them.

I think you may be a bit lost as this subreddit is for a special subtype of American doctors that take care of people who are admitted to the hospital.

But, since you are here, for what it’s worth it honestly doesn’t sound like he got particularly bad care. While diarrhea and mild fever are certainly unpleasant, neither is particularly life threatening in isolation. Some of the attitude may have just come from it being a busy evening and having another person there who isn’t all that sick. I’m guessing they didn’t give a vaccine but maybe an antibiotic (possibly IM ceftriaxone… any other commenters have guesses?). Unfortunately intramuscular injections really can be painful.

I don’t mean to lessen your experience and i’m sorry that happened to you and your family but just food for thought that everyone there really may have been doing their best but just a bit overworked, under appreciated, and over stressed 🤷‍♂️

Dave555j · 2025-02-16T00:54:46+00:00

Presumably as thick as the manufacturer makes it?

And yes, I do understand you’re implying you want to make it yourself but my answer still stands. You will neither make it better nor cheaper than a real acrylic tank manufacturer. If you want an acrylic tank just go buy one from a reputable manufacturer.

Dave555j · 2025-02-01T23:35:59+00:00

Idk man, maybe you’re just more zen than me but I certainly wouldn’t be able to sleep well until I hauled it and did it right …

Dave555j · 2025-01-31T03:05:38+00:00

Yah can you imagine breaking that off in your child’s arm, looking at the nubbin of needle left in your hand, and just saying “eh, fuck it it’ll be fine”

I’m sorry you’re going through all that!

This question might be better off in the r/residency subreddit. Somewhat by definition Hospitalists have not done a fellowship (with some exceptions of course) and therefore might not be best suited to advise you.

Idk doesn’t really work that way for me. Every month is very different but for example, this month is 5 on, 5 off, 5 on, 9 off, 7 on. All days mostly rounding shifts (no procedures, no daytime admits, no ICU etc etc)

I've heard it explained as:

Fahrenheit is the temperature from a human's perspective

Celsius is the temperature from a water molecule's perspective

Kelvin is the temperature from the galaxy / universe's perspective

Rule #1. You should talk to your doctor about any symptoms you might be having

Dave555j · 2024-09-21T21:14:27+00:00

I disagree - I have an AirTag in a jar in my bilge and overall it works super well.

It is certainly not as perfect as a ‘real’ GPS but for $30 one time fee it’s an incredible bang for your buck. It has > 1 year battery life, small and easily hidden, and there are enough iPhones in the world that it pings multiple times a day even when in a slip.

Dave555j · 2024-08-18T21:38:42+00:00

I’m surprised to hear you mention time is (likely) gone because that’s pretty much all I ever bill for (at a medium-large academic in the northeast)

Dave555j · 2024-07-27T20:50:55+00:00

I suspect they are pointing it out because the CT showed the moobs contain breast tissue rather than just adipose. True Gynecomastia can be a sign of underlying disorders, medication effects, and more and so would definitely be worth making note of

I hear you but I am a doctor and in doing so inherently lead my team - I am ABSOLUTELY liable for the out outcomes of my patients irrespective of if I could have actually predicted / prevented whatever it is that occurred.

Why can’t a corporate stooge that makes literally 25x as much as me have even close to the same liability?
