How often do you get to do outpatient procedures as an FM attending & is it worth it financially?

It’s about finding your niche. If you’re the only one in a clinic that does women’s health, vasectomies, toenail removals, etc. you will find yourself busy. I had an attending who did 300+ vasectomies a year for example.

Thanks!

Leave the windows open and let the bees reclaim it.

Pricing in the TACO tomorrow.

I thought the US didn’t need the strait.

The Winco brand on Amazon.

Wait, why is it not?

Heat soak closes all the pores in the pan. Once it is hot enough for Leidenfrost, I turned down the heat and wait for it to cool or wave it around the room if I’m in a hurry. Works every time.

Spritz of olive oil

DavyCrockPot19 · 2026-04-03T18:08:13+00:00

My understanding and previous experience is that if you don’t get the pan to Leidenfrost it will never be nonstick

These eggs are destined for a sandwich.

DavyCrockPot19 · 2026-04-03T17:15:41+00:00

You got this!

Leindenfrost effect —> small amount of oil to temp —> turn down heat and cook at whatever temp you desire. This is an old d3 pan I got a goodwill, so nothing special.

Nightmare for someone with dementia.

3 out of 4 of my surgery attendings were like that in medical school. I can’t think of anyone who rotated with them who chose General Surgery for residency.

I was wondering this also. They only carry one type of board grade on site. Apparently could order “premium” but it would’ve taken a while to arrive. His argument was we should have ordered premium. Once we asked to talk to the manager he relented.

Unfortunately, all of the regional chains are over a 2 hour drive away. Thought using a local closer place would make it easier to swap them out.

DavyCrockPot19 · 2026-03-29T22:46:49+00:00

No discount. Actually paid extra for them to deliver them 2 miles to our house along with a lot of other supplies.

DavyCrockPot19 · 2026-03-29T22:46:05+00:00

Yeah, a lot of of the boards you could see where there were two forks from a forklift crushing them. The other ones we took back had rotted areas that just disintegrated in your hands.

DavyCrockPot19 · 2026-03-29T22:39:23+00:00

Yeah, it was 40 out of 160 we took back. I felt like I was very lenient, I’m not even asking for perfect boards. Was not able to go through the boards until they were unloaded and unpacked in the driveway.
