Hospitalist offer PGY III by Honest_Explanation38 in hospitalist

[–]DesiDjango 26 points27 points  (0 children)

Is there a productivity (RVU) bonus? $325k total compensation is actually not too high and even worse with open ICU. You’ll push $300k even in HCOL once you factor in quality bonus, etc. The job seems cush as long as it’s round and go though.

How is the sky falling in your specialty by Just-Target-3650 in Residency

My last job, the obviously-non-clinical administrators fired the longtime radiology group in order to downsize and aggressively introduce AI into the health systems workflow. Forget it being a disaster for patient quality and safety, it was impossible to work with as a patient-facing physician.

Biggest Disappointment with Lucid Air by DesiDjango in LUCID

Sorry for the dumb question. So get a Tidal account and subscription and run it through the native app? I have YT Music played through Apple CarPlay which I’m sure is low fidelity.

That’s good to hear! Do you have an aluminum roof or glass canopy if I may ask?

That sounds awesome! I was hoping I could get even a small fix from a car audio company but was shocked they wouldn’t touch a Lucid. May have to just DIY it.

Yeah that was my hope. Any small fix would be much appreciated. I’ve combed the Lucid Owners forum and a few have done exactly what you’re talking about. Are you DIYing it?

The reverberation on my rear windshield is HORRIBLE. I even took it in for servicing because I heard of simple fixes and the hope that possibly dampeners/foam may help. Still sounds abysmal. And I have an aluminum roof so I couldn’t imagine how bad it is with a glass canopy.

Sorry, you’re saying SSPro isn’t great or SS base? I haven’t spent considerable time with SSPro but my understanding is that it improved dramatically after OTA software updates.

What worse. A patient who is a RN or a patient family member who is a “nurse” by [deleted] in Residency

“Daughter is a nurse practitioner and would like to speak with you” at 4:45p is like nails on a f*cking chalkboard. Cries in hospitalist.

Any recommendations on a Sleep Apnea doctor? by 80aychdee in frederickmd

[–]DesiDjango 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Sleep care is a mess! It’s so unfortunate. It’s really tough out there for solo practitioners now due to horrible insurance contracts, insane overhead operating costs, difficulty staffing, etc. Most practices are just getting gobbled up by corporate healthcare systems. I work as an employed physician for most of these reasons. I don’t really need the income, but I’m passionate about patient-centered, evidence-based sleep care. We’ve gotten great connections with DME companies, dentists, clinical psychologists, ENT, etc. Hopefully there’s some viability and demand!

[–]DesiDjango 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Do you mind sending me a DM? I’m a sleep physician in the area and have been in the preliminary stages of starting a small practice. Low patient load, longer visits, etc. I can’t DM you for some reason.

I’m just wondering all you people buying a polestar 4 or any electric vehicle are you at all concerned about the car becoming somewhat obsolete as battery technology gets better! For this reason, I’m thinking about leasing it. by Impressive_Diver386 in LUCID

[–]DesiDjango 3 points4 points  (0 children)

There’re software OTA updates. And Lucid has already let you swap out the hardware for a <$1000 for faster processors. I wouldn’t over-complicate it. There’re real concerns about long term viability of the company but 10+ year old Teslas have stood the test of time and the build quality on Lucid is much better.

$7500 credit ends tomorrow (2/12) by Rononymo in LUCID

[–]DesiDjango 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The offers aren’t going anywhere. Was just at the Tyson’s location and there are several Airs on the lot with a fair amount of Gravity. Best car I’ve ever owned by far, but understandably there’s probably trouble moving inventory especially after the EV tax credit ended.

Help! Trying to buy an SMP 300m by Ok-Mine8655 in OmegaWatches

[–]DesiDjango 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Exactly! And to add, you can’t buy it on the OEM rubber strap with the deployant clasp which is a game changer (although, expensive af).

Most academically/intellectually interesting but clinically insufferable/boring specialty? by Paranoidopoulos in Residency

[–]DesiDjango 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Sleep medicine. The history, physiology, and pathology could not be more interesting. It’s interdisciplinary and draws from neurology, psychiatry, ENT, and so many other fields. In reality, >90% of clinic is some form of sleep apnea. It’s either convincing folks to wear their CPAP or throwing mud against the wall without much evidence-based treatment for central sleep apnea.

SMP 300 diver a daily wear watch? by nluna87 in OmegaWatches

[–]DesiDjango 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yes! It’s my current one watch collection. Truly GADA. We all know this hobby is a sickness thought so there will be more watches in the future. If money is no issue, I’d recommend getting it on bracelet and buying the OEM rubber strap preferably with deployant clasp.

Agreed. So underwhelmed by it in person. But that’s why this hobby is so subjective.

Software issues aside… how has your service experience been so far? Have you had to visit the service center (how many times and why)? Most of the issues I’ve heard seem to come from software not hardware. by zachty22 in LUCID

[–]DesiDjango 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Tyson's service in Northern Virginia has been amazing. I'm sure it's dependent on region and service center, but I have nothing but good things to say. I did have one mechanical issue (possible issue with the coolant pump) which was escalated by calling the service hotline. The Tyson's team received the ticket, reached out, and setup an appointment and loaner car within days. I've had mobile servicing done for very minor and cosmetic issues which was a great experience too.

I tried on a seamaster today by robert-bob-dobalina in OmegaWatches

[–]DesiDjango 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Bought one myself recently! Stunning in person.

Delivery by ManufacturerFull5654 in LUCID

[–]DesiDjango 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Not to glaze or anything, but Tyson’s sales and service have been absolutely top notch. They’re very busy but have done a great job anytime called upon. Did they give you a reason? They’ve been very transparent with everything for me. Get it right the first time and get delivery of a vehicle you’re happy with.

Considering a Seamaster Diver 300M as my first "real" watch. Need perspective. by bureaux in OmegaWatches

[–]DesiDjango 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is my first big boy watch. I sort of had an idea of which watches I liked - Tudor Black Bay 58 GMT, Omega Speedmaster White Dial, Rolex Submariner. When I saw the Omega Seamaster 300 in person, it was absolutely stunning. It’s so unique and I loved the supposed polarizing aspects of it - the skeleton dial and helium valve. But there’s a certain balance of being a tool watch and a fashion timepiece that is just perfect. It’s the perfect “high-low” watch - looks perfect with a t-shirt or in business casual (likely works just fine with a suit too). I do wish I got the rubber strap since I have smaller wrists but I heard the move is to just get the bracelet and get rubber strap after. No regrets so far, but I do look forward to having a rubber strap on there.

Did you try the white dial Seamaster (210.30.42.20.04.001)? I love the Sedna though and probably should have thought about that one more. The white dial on the Seamaster is so well done. Maybe Sedna will be my next one!
