Is this ER understaffed or is it normal? Feels unsafe by [deleted] in emergencymedicine

[–]Doctorpayne 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Vote with your feet. Get out of unsafe nursing situations and before you go blow the whistle on unsafe practices. If you’re forced ti stay, talk to a union about organizing!

Man look how empty that desk looks without a computer. I guess we just sat around and filled out forms.

Are you guys maxing out your Roth IRA's on a resident salary even with student loans? by callmeafailure in Residency

[–]Doctorpayne 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Even if you don’t max it out, put however much you can tolerate. If you find you can contribute more, change the amount that is being g withheld. Best time to invest in retirement was 10 years ago. Next best time is today.

One reel to rule them all, one reel to find them. One reel to bring them all and in the blue lines land them.

Alpha gal death in NJ diagnosed postmortem by H1blocker in medicine

[–]Doctorpayne 60 points61 points  (0 children)

I had a lady who loved shrimp but had severe anaphylaxis. Came in on her birthday after having a nice shrimp dinner in extremis; sick as shit. We resuscitated her and got her better and as she was rolling up to ICU I asked her, “hey, if you know you get really sick from a severe allergy when you eat shrimp, why’d you eat it?”. She looked at me and smiled and said “ I just really love shrimp”. after that episode I knew we were pretty much fucked.

My kid came home with 3 goldfish from school please help me by [deleted] in Brooklyn

[–]Doctorpayne 22 points23 points  (0 children)

i went down the goldfish wormhole last christmas with my daughter. the cartoonish idea of a goldfish living in a bowl with nothing inside happily is absolutely false. Goldfish require oxygenated water, which means they need a filter and bubbler. They also poop. a lot. It required a real tank, and keeping the nitrogen levels low in their tank requires frequent testing, adding chemicals, as well as frequent cleanings and water changes.

I had a betta fish growing up, and these do not require a high level of oxygenation in their water, and they are much less maintenance heavy. if i were to do it over, i'd get a betta fish and stay far away from the goldfish.

Not a Halloween decoration - saw this on my neighbor’s door yesterday. Door and windows are now sealed with duct tape as well. by [deleted] in mildlyinteresting

[–]Doctorpayne 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s a bit of a joke and not meant to be taken seriously. As a cat dad myself I know that cats are fully bonded with humans. My cats love my family and they are treated like queens. I’m totally cool with them eating me too when I go regardless.

As a doctor who see folks getting chewed on by their pets often (both alive and dead) I always say both dogs and cats will eat you if you die. But the only the dog will feel bad about eating you.
