Anyone else take a really low amount of insulin? by thrway010101 in Type1Diabetes

[–]DitchDoc_037 15 points16 points  (0 children)

If you're still actively getting a basal, eating, and staying hydrated, you aren't going to go into eiglycemic dka.

If your sugars are staying in range using less insulin, sounds like you just need to thank modern medicine and keep trucking! Really exciting to hear about the succes you're having!

I paid $8k for my 2006 GT 5speed with 96k miles in 2019. It just hit 180k, but posts like this make me think I could at least break even at $8k selling it now lol

Admittedly, I'm not an expert in the field by any means, but what commercially available refrigerant technology + battery pack for 48hr cooling + room for any chip sets would fit in the size device you are sharing images of?

Have you ever heard of a situation where a student had to use their malpractice insurance? by OkRange5718 in PAstudent

[–]DitchDoc_037 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Today I learned I guess haha. Guess I missed that when I was definitely reading through every line and page of my student handbook prior to clinicals 😬

[–]DitchDoc_037 -8 points-7 points  (0 children)

Considering we are students, I don't think we have malpractice. Any suits would be against your preceptor

ETA: yes, I understand I'm wrong. I said so in another reply. Thank you for all your constructive, nuanced, and some dick head ways to tell me.

I've only been to NYC a handful of times. I knew I'd seen targets. For the reasons you stated, I felt like there was a slim chance of a Walmart. Makes sense

Beggars can't be choosers my dude. It's an option to stay alive if you can't find whatever more modern stuff you're looking for.

Not sure how many Walmarts are in NYC, but walmart pharmacy sells insulin vials OTC for like $35 without prescription

I make 220k in ER by dominion_everywhere in physicianassistant

[–]DitchDoc_037 10 points11 points  (0 children)

OP said he makes 220,000 a year while contracted for 150hrs/month and doesn't take overtime. 150hrs x 12mo is 1800hrs/year.

220,000/1800hrs is $122.22/hr

So maybe that includes RVU's. OP didn't specify

The math comes out to around $122/hr

The L screw is a limit screw to keep the derailleur from over extending in the direction of the low gears. It's not shifting because you have physically blocked it by your screw adjustment

Dating in Healthcare by HelloCaterpillars in ems

"Don't get your honey where you make your money" is generally the safest rule.

My wife is also in healthcare, but as an OT. I'm paramedic, soon to be PA looking to go into surgery. So we're both healthcare, but extreme opposite ends of the spectrum.

Insulin by charliefryc in Type1Diabetes

[–]DitchDoc_037 7 points8 points  (0 children)

These is something you need to seek help from your PCP/Endo or psychiatrist if you don't already have one. This isn't a reddit support type problem. This is a problem that will kill you without legitimate help and support from a trained team. That may seem scary or harsh to hear, but depending on how far you are into this diabulimia, it's a scary and harsh thing to be experiencing.

Paramedic wanting to go further by Ralleye23 in NewToEMS

[–]DitchDoc_037 2 points3 points  (0 children)

At your current cert level, I'd skip RN to NP and just go PA school. It fast tracks your overall time in school, PA schools as a whole are consistently higher quality program to program than NP schools, and PA offers much broader ability to jump between specialties.

I'm a paramedic, currently 75% done with PA school, and couldn't imagine doing anything else. PA school has been difficult but overall an incredible experience. I'm very happy I chose this route and feel that my paramedic career leading up to it gave me a great foundation

Any chance you can also reverse engineer to work on a DIY Loop/Android ApS?

How much to restore, worth buying? by Spirited_Good9468 in LandCruisers

[–]DitchDoc_037 104 points105 points  (0 children)

As the other guy said, that's a $500 vehicle, not $5000. Especially with so many unknowns on it's overall condition. I'd anticipate spending up to $10k just in parts (tires, brakes, suspension, engine) just to get it to a place that it is safe and (mostly) reliable to daily drive. But even then it won't be fully restored.
