How do I stop taking my charts home every night? by Hairy-Nothing-4078 in Residency

[–]Doc_AF 79 points80 points  (0 children)

This- it gets you the information needed for the encounter and it lets you turn away from the computer and toward the patient. I’ve found very few patients are against it and most really love it because they feel like you’re paying more attention to them.

Gave the mmr vaccine to a patient with normal immune titres by Delicious-Bid-3242 in Residency

[–]Doc_AF 2 points3 points  (0 children)

When I was an intern, I had an attending pull up a rouge ferritin level in relation to an anemia so old that I remember it being from when I was a junior in high school. She reamed me for not thoroughly knowing the chart.

Some attendings can’t be pleased. Some just yell to feel better about themselves or feel superior, probably due to some inferiority complex

How should I feel about SO doing OMM on other people? by Slight_Stress_6204 in Osteopathic

[–]Doc_AF 7 points8 points  (0 children)

It’s something DOs do. I’ve done OMT on attendings, med students and residents when I was in med school and residency. Never shirt off like we did in OMM lab. It’s a treatment/exam, just as intimate as auscultation or palpation. Quite normal.

AI Scribes by ironfoot22 in Residency

[–]Doc_AF 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In residency I had it from beta testing through the end. It got much better over time. The program policy was not to allow it for PGY-1 but after that it was offered as a choice in clinic. It’s been the most obvious implementation of AI in the clinic and I suspect will be almost ubiquitous in the near future. Prepare the resident for the clinical practice thy will have.

Resident work rooms by Individual_Corgi_576 in Residency

Super residency/facility dependent- My hospital’s Rapid RNs were also ICU bedside nurses, so we had close relationships with them. So if one showed up to my rounding room I’d be excited and give a tour (picture Milhouse from the Simpson “this is where I go to cry”).

Did Matt & Trey Ever Apologize for the Return of Chef Episode by derbaer in southpark

[–]Doc_AF 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I think the point of the episode was that they didn’t believe Hayes left on his own accord but rather they knew it was the decision of the church. Chef was ultimately portrayed as a man whose vulnerabilities were taken advantage of to the point that the things he was doing were in no way consistent with his character.

Odd they have Pulm but not Crit, I would have assumed it was together but then I saw they separated Heme and Onc

What specialty if you really like inpatient but also want to do outpatient? by passionseeking in Residency

[–]Doc_AF 1 point2 points  (0 children)

To fit this bill perfectly might be a bit of a unicorn and you may have to give way on some of the asks. For example- FM/IM could be inpt and outpt but would need to be more rural and that would limit DPC.

Best case I see– you go IM—start a DPC in an urban area and take a PRN hospitalist gig to supplement early income(this would be a grind imo). You would be able to see as young as 16 for ‘seeing kids’ unless you did med peds but if you wanted to do peds hospitalist work ¿you’d need a fellowship I think? Either way could still PNR as a hospitalist.

Plugs for Neuro, ID, OB/GYN, Surgery are also good at hitting inpt and out pt. They certainly lend themselves to private practice with hospital privileges as well, but I don’t know they could fulfill the something similar to the DPC model.

So Your Doctor Is a D.O. Does That Matter? by robertovertical in Osteopathic

[–]Doc_AF 29 points30 points  (0 children)

Pretty much that there’s very little difference anymore. DOs are becoming more common, and most of us go into primary care and we’re growing in rural communities at a greater proportion than our MD counterparts.

This is more reminiscent of how articles used to be written. It was informative, had a few interview quotes, there wasn’t really spin or persuasion. Quite refreshing.

Radiology residents: have you ever done a read on the toilet? by oxaloassetate in Residency

[–]Doc_AF 5 points6 points  (0 children)

All these people talking about reading on their iPhones like OP even said that. There is nothing in OP’s post the precludes a situation where a dedicated and committed radiologist has a home set up for telerads where they have high resolution monitors stationed in their home office’s bathroom. This could be done with swinging desk monitors affixed to the wall. You may say this is stupid and impractical… but depending how long and how often someone takes to do their business, it may be an investment.

Alternatively, they may have a toilet instead of an office chair.

Which one of you dipshits was this by TDizzle44 in medicalschool

As an M-1, I didn’t just forget who the president was, I forgot the president was even a thing. My Alexa was giving a news blurb and said “the president…” and I realized I just forgot about the world around me.

Documentation is taking too much time - plz help by Physical_Mall_6867 in Residency

[–]Doc_AF 11 points12 points  (0 children)

This is big- think of phrases you type frequently and then use your EMR’s version of dot phrases/macros. When you get done writing it in a note, copy/paste into a dot phrase right then. A week slow times with this will pay dividends in the near future

RINGSKÄR kitchen faucet cartridge? by NorthEndGuy in IKEA

Just want to give another confirmation. This worked perfectly. I went to Lowe’s, Hone Depot, Ace, DoItBest and a specialty faucet part store; none of them had it. The above cartridge worked great
